About the Business
Welcome to Leila's at The Grand, a charming establishment located on Bong Bong Street in Bowral, Australia. As a renowned restaurant and point of interest, we pride ourselves on serving delicious, rustic food made with love in the heart of the Southern Highlands.
Our menu is a product of generations of refinement, stemming from a long Lebanese family legacy. From Michael's Mother Leila to your table today, each dish is prepared with care and carries the authentic flavors of Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is meant to be enjoyed in the company of others, and our tradition dictates that it is best shared. Picture platters filled with delectable dishes placed in the middle of the table, leaving plenty for seconds.
At Leila's, we believe that hearty, tasty food is best enjoyed with your favorite people. So, bring your good appetite and join us for a truly memorable dining experience. Our story began when Michael and Raye met at his brother's Italian restaurant in Haberfield. Inspired by their shared love for Lebanese cuisine, they decided to switch the menu and bring Michael's mother, Leila, into the kitchen. Her incredible culinary skills became the backbone of the restaurant's success.
After some time, Michael and Raye bought Cafe Rocca and made the bold decision to move to Bowral, bringing Leila along with them. Her recipes, passed down through generations, continued to delight diners and establish Leila's at The Grand as a beloved culinary destination. Although Leila may no longer be with us, this establishment serves as a tribute to her and all the Taytas (grandmothers) who have shared their culinary wisdom and love.
Speaking of grandmothers, they are legendary figures in our lives. Known by the name of Tayta, they hold a special place in our hearts. It is from our mothers and grandmothers that we learned the art of cooking, as they had the time and patience to teach us their treasured recipes.
At Leila's, we encourage you to share the love and the food. Whether you are dining with family, friends, or colleagues, our warm and inviting atmosphere is perfect for creating lasting memories. And if you're looking to spread the joy of Lebanese cuisine, we offer gift cards for you to share with your loved ones.
Come and experience the legacy of Leila's at The Grand. Indulge in the flavors of Lebanon, savor the rich history behind each dish, and create unforgettable moments as you share a meal with those who matter most.

Reviews
"They food was absolutely amazing and the staff were lovely! We showed up without a booking and they still found a nice table for us inside. We ordered the spiced sausage entree and the mixed platter to share between two. Not a single complaint about the food, we left stuffed (especially as they kept topping up the bread basket for us free of charge!). Would recommend coming here to anyone."
"Had my belated Birthday Dinner here last night and we all loved it. The staff are so friendly and the food is just amazing. Fabulous cocktail list also! Thanks for a great night we all can’t wait to come back again!!"
"On a cold winter's night in Bowral, I cannot imagine a warmer or more convivial place to be. At 7pm on a Friday night the restaurant is already full to the brim, and no wonder. As a chill, lazy wind blows outside, stepping into pretty Leila's is like joining one big family party. Happy groups and couples make merry as steamy platters of hearty food are carried from the kitchen. Delicious, fresh, made-with-love dishes just like grandma used to make - if you happen to have been blessed with a Lebanese grandma like Leila. Everything is generous, from the alcohol in the cocktails, to the wines by the glass, to the piled high plates of authentic Lebanese favourites. The service hits a perfect note, attentive and congenial, with Raye's deft touch ensuring every single person in the room feels like a welcome and nurtured guest. Restaurant experiences like this are all too rare, when food and service and atmosphere all sing the perfect notes together. Lucky Bowral! Thanks Leila's team, can't wait to return."
"A great dinner here and very well priced. Lady fingers as a snack then a mixed kebab platter for 2. Amazing. Everything was so fresh, really well cooked and beautifully presented. The portions are definitely generous, so bring your appetite and elasticated trousers. My dinner was all washed down with a few Lebanese lagers. Very nice also. The service was very friendly from start to finish."
