Leo and Lily were going back and forth about where to eat… “I want something hearty and filling,” said Leo. “Yeah, yeah…But it needs to be healthy too…and we’re on a budget, so nothing too expensive,” said Lily. “What’s a budget?” said Leo. After searching high and low, near and far, Leo & Lily realized that if they wanted “Hearty, filling, healthy and affordable,” they would need to create it for themselves. And that’s exactly what they did. Where they fuse European and Mediterranean flavors to create healthy, unique and delicious dishes. I just tried it and it is yummy!!! 22420 Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills, 91364 818-222-6622
