How we make our signature hummus
We cook the chickpeas slowly until velvety, then blend them silky smooth with roasted-sesame tahini, fresh lemon juice and garlic. No shortcuts, no preservatives — that's why our hummus is silky, never grainy. Finished with extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sumac.

Hosts of Leila
“You arrive as a guest, you leave as a friend.”
Leila is a story of Levantine hospitality brought to the very centre of Warsaw. The kitchen is led by chef Shadi — a Jordanian who cooks the way food was cooked in his family home: honestly, generously spiced and never in a hurry.
We believe a table should bring people together. That's why at Leila you eat together, share the mezze and stay a little longer — over tea, music and conversation.
