Seating at ilili is booked primarily through OpenTable, and the restaurant is listed among Manhattan's consistently high-demand Lebanese tables on OpenTable's citywide Manhattan restaurant page (OpenTable). Reservations are the standard path in during peak dinner hours rather than a walk-up line.
Per ilili's own reservations page, tables are held for only up to 15 minutes past the booked time, and guests waiting are directed to the bar and lounge for cocktails or Lebanese wine (ililirestaurants.com) — a policy that implies turnover pressure at busy dinner seatings even for reservation holders.
