We can't recommend it highly enough! We decided to go with the Leila Restaurant & Catering for our Big Day and we couldn't be happier with our decision! We knew that the food would be good - we had food tasting at Leila. But 'good' doesn't give justice to our dinner The food that has been served on a day itself was way above our expectations. We had a lot of diversity on our wedding; multiple countries, multiple languages, multiple cultures, multiple religions...and completely different food that each person has been growing up with. We worried that some guests may not like food that we chosen. It turned out that we shouldn't have worried - everyone, and I mean everyone, loved the food! We laughed as few guests that are vegetarians said that it was a feast for them. But we also received the same comments from our "Meatatarians". Everyone was able to find something for themselves! Towards the end of the night we had a 'late night snack' - Shawrama. The best top up you can offer to your guests!. Everyone was full but none could say 'no' to shwarma and a great chef!

Raef and the team were absolutely fantastic! Raef was an absolute pleasure to. From our first meeting at the food tasting to our actual wedding, he maintained the most professional and approachable relationship. He was very easy to talk to and very cooperative with making our day special. Always answered my numerous calls and questions with grace and kindness. The food was fantastic as well. So good that we actually celebrated another meal at the restaurant a few days before the wedding! So many of our guests complimented the food too. The staff were so organised and professional. Everything went so smoothly and was so enjoyable! You would be a fool to not hire these guys! Thank you to Raef and the team at Leila’s!

Raef and the Leila team were exceptional for our 115-person wedding in Bletchingley! From the very beginning, Raef was incredibly communicative and helpful in crafting the menu we had in mind. I had some specific requests in regards to what I wanted on the menu that he was really accommodating for/we were able to move around. We had quite a few dietary restrictions too (nuts, dairy, onions, gluten), and Leila were able to thoughtfully cater for all. My wife is Lebanese so really wanted to represent that through our wedding food. The food tasting and site visit was a breeze to organize. On the day of the wedding, the staff was professional and attentive, providing canapés drinks for our guests during the cocktail hour. Then, for the three-course meal, Turkish coffee, and dessert and shawarma late night food, Leila took care of everything. The family-style food was delicious, and SO MANY people told us afterwards how much they enjoyed the wedding food, which isn’t normally something people remember from a wedding. Highlights for me were the canapes (kofta burgers, spinach pies, lahme bi ajeen, cauliflower tahini), the Turkish coffee setup, and the shawarma. Everything was delicious but these were exceptional. The shawarma especially was something almost everyone mentioned to us afterwards. “Best shawarma I’ve ever had” even from my wife’s mom (who grew up in Beirut and can be picky about her food lol). We highly recommend Leila for your wedding!

Best Food, Best Service, Best Help Everyone loved the food which is the main and most important part. They were ready to provide pre-reception drinks, had folks behind the bar, everything was ready whenever we needed it. Raef called us several times if we needed anything and helped us plan when we needed info. If you do work with this supplier then the most important thing is you get the Shawarma live station - biggest hit of the weddding, it was so good it went almost immediately.

We loved the food and professional service provided by Leila. They worked seamless with Greenwich yacht club. The lamb and coffee were particular hits. The lamb just fell apart! Beautiful food! Thank you.

We used Leila Catering for my engagement party and they were absolutely incredible! They fully accommodated our women’s-only event, which was so appreciated. The food was amazing — the lamb and rice dish was truly wow-worthy, and everyone raved about the cheese rolls. The service was just as good as the food: professional, friendly, and attentive the whole time. Their prices are also very fair for London, making them an even easier choice. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone hosting an event. Thank you for making our special day even better!

Leila's catered, and ran, our wedding in June 2025. They were beyond professional and worked tirelessly all day in the heat which is no easy task! The whole day went so smoothly thanks to their efforts. The food was delicious and I could not recommend them enough. They answered all of our questions beforehand and put us at ease, knowing they could handle everything without any problems. Raef and Zara were amazing and helped us stay calm, knowing we were in good hands.

Leila did the catering for our wedding, from canapes to dinner and what a great job they did! They customised a menu that suits us and delivered on exactly what they had promised catering to all. We took the venue as a dry hire and they set up the venue to look amazingly beautiful taking into account every little detail. The service was top class and the staff were all super friendly and attentive. We had the best time as we knew we were in good hands. Raef was flexible and took all of our requests onboard. The food was delicious and all of our guests gave great feedback. Highly recommend Leila whether it’s for dining in their restaurant or as a supplier for events&weddings. Thank you Leila!

Raef and the team came to support an event we hosted at our Campus and they were a dream team. They were incredibly professional, communicative throughout the whole process, arrived early and even helped us with our set up. The event ran super smoothly and the food was absolutely amazing. Would 100% recommend for any event catering!!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Leila Catring restaurant for my daughter's bridal shower, and I cannot express enough how amazing the experience was. From the very beginning, Raef the manager was professional, and dedicated to ensuring every detail was perfect. The catering service was nothing short of luxurious, with beautifully presented dishes that were as delicious as they were elegant. Raef and his team went above and beyond to make the event memorable, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and warmth. My daughter and all our guests were incredibly impressed, and the entire day was made even more special thanks to Raef’s exceptional service. I highly recommend Raef and his catering team for any special event!
