Ilio's Greek and Lebanese

About Ilio's Greek and Lebanese

Ilio's specializes in sizzling grilled kebobs, which are available in chicken, beef, shrimp, and kafta, the Lebanese favorite consisting of ground meat — often a combination of beef and lamb, with spices, onions, and herbs. Greek dishes include dolmas (stuffed grape leaves with rice), spinach pie, and lamb shank — all dishes that can appear on many Middle Eastern menus but are most closely allied with Greek cuisine.

That includes moussaka, the homey casserole dish made with eggplant, meat sauce, and bechamel — although Ilio's version is deconstructed, which is easier for restaurants to execute than the traditional layered version favored by home cooks. Hummus comes in three options: traditional, Mediterranean, and Sultan, topped with chunks of meat.

Other Mediterranean classic dishes include chicken shawarma, gyro plates, falafel, and fried halloumi cheese.
