Nothing To Rave About!

by maria1978

The other night I was on my way to my favorite restaurant in town, "Persian House" and decided to try something new. I saw this place called Habibi and it looked busy so I stopped in and tried it. It was nothing to rave about but cheap. I think that's why some people go here. If your looking for quality home cookin go right up the street to Persian House and if your looking for good lebanese I recommend Nicolas.

I wil never go to Habibi again

by meanduniverse

We were sat upstairs and the wait staff promptly forgot that we were there (though from reading more reviews posted here I can see that it doesn't matter where you are, the service is horrible).

The portions were extremely small. I ordered the vegetarian mezza. It came with 1 falafel and 1 piece of pita bread. No one ever asked if we wanted water.We ordered cokes and they were never refilled. $1.75 for a small glass of coke and not a single refill.

I will always tip 20%, less if the service is bad. The staff at Habibi left me feeling like they didn't deserve a tip. Pretty bad. Can't imagine this restaurant being around for too many years.

• Pros: few
• Cons: many

amazing falafel, hummus

by boopie

Was downtown today and I saw Habibi. My girlfriend mentioned she had dined here and loved it. Well, I agree with her. From the moment I walked in I felt appreciated. The owner was so nice and professional. Was by myself and just wanted to eat and read my book. I ordered the falafel combo, which consisted of hummus, side salad, falafel sandwich. Everything was fresh and amazing, reasonable too. I have dined out lately at enough crappy restaurants to last a lifetime, so it was refreshing to be treated kindly and professionally. Thanks Habibi.
