Reviews Summary
Restaurante Leila receives high praise for its charming atmosphere and location in the old town, coupled with excellent service and flavorful dishes, particularly Moroccan specialties and grilled seafood. While many patrons enjoy the overall experience and food quality, a few have encountered issues with dish availability or occasional inconsistencies in food preparation.
"Oxtail dish was exceptional. As in most traditional restaurants, there is a lack of vegan or vegetarian composed dishes and no variations provided. Apparently "it's complicated"."
Paul Vuren
"Very nice place with good food. The atmosphere was awesome. It was not very expensive at all. All the food was delicious, but the server mixed up our skewers (We ordered 2 chicken and 1 lamb, but we got 2 lamb 1 chicken)."
Rebeca Costea
"Perfect romantic place for lunch or long evening. Position in old part of Antequera is really strong. Except of small road around. BUT the meal is excellent. Even for eyes. Great Service."

Amongst the restaurants in Antequera Leila’s terrace is probably the best place for ‘people watching’!. The Plaza San Sebastian, too, is a very attractive spot. The interior of the restaurant is quite stylish, with muted background music.
