Lamb Burger – $20

Ilili serves high end Mediterranean food in a high end neighborhood if you’re in the mood for that sort of high end thing.

I work in Flatiron, so while I’m often in the neighborhood, I don’t always want to drop $20+ for a burger during a 2 hour lunch.

Get the picture?

The food was delicious, creative and substantial. The interior was spacious, luxurious if not a bit cold and corporate.

Nothing really bad to say about this place but the stars do have to align a bit in order to make this a good fit.

Or maybe I’m just high maintenance?
