This is another "por quilo" restaurant in Avenida Paulista area with a combination of good…read morelocation, high quality and variety in a pleasant atmosphere. There is only lunch service and depending on the time, it can be crowded with people standing on long lines. The buffet includes a salad bar, hot dishes and dessert corner and the options change daily. Pricewise there are cheaper restaurants of the same style in the area, but you get what you pay for: ingredients such as gravlax salmon, sea food and a good selection of cheese and cured meats are constant in the buffet. You can expect good service from very attentive waiters and the girls in the cashier will receive you with a big smile on your face and it does make a huge difference in the end. And to finish your lunch experience, help yourself with free of charge hot beverages which includes tea, coffee and hot cocoa. And make sure to try to chocolate dipped cookies.

I walk in, walk past the market, and head straight to the counter of the desserts (before the tables for full service dining).

Ambiente é bonito, meio moderno, porém as mesas são atochadas uma perto da outra ao ponto de que seria melhor fazer tudo um grande balcão e dar espaço para as pessoas (e os garçons) se movimentarem. Falando neles, o serviço é bem fraco, boa sorte tentando conseguir a atenção de um deles. E os 10% já vem incluso mesmo assim. Recomendo pular esse estabelecimento.

I'm crushed! I had been told that this place was a hidden gem. I will admit that the food was very…read moregood, but the waiters and timing ruined everything! Half of the entrees came out first, then appetisers, and then when the rest of the main course did not arrive it wasn't because the food was slow, it was because the waiter totally forgot to put it into the computer! At the end of my night, the manager intercepted a duplicate order of half of the meal coming to my table because it had been made TWICE! The food tasted good, but I couldn't enjoy the night at all.

Nothing on the menu has disappointed me; their gyoza and karaage are especially great for sharing. There can be a crowd at peak times which makes things a little warm, but service moves briskly, and the energy feels appropriate for the quality and turnover. Ótimo ramen. O caldo é bem saboroso, eles cozinham o macarrão perfeitamente. Todo do cardápio é bom, especialmente os gyoza e o karaage. As vezes, tem muita gente, mas o atendimento é rápido com energia boa.

When Rogerio S. told me about this shawarma place, I was very keen to try it - if done right…read moreshawarma is one of the best 'fast foods' that has come out of the Middle east..so with some high expectations I went to this place and I couldn't be more pleased. The place is really tiny - as Matthew C. puts it, it shouldn't be over 4m² but the tiny space is very well organised - there is rotisserie on one end, and a grill towards the inside of the store and a fridge with soft drinks and water options in the front. There is a table with 2 chairs on the sidewalk, so you can either sit & eat or just eat on your feet too. Ahmad, the owner, is very polite & patient and while I was there (first time on a Saturday afternoon), a few curious onlookers passed by and he would explain to them what a shawarma is. His 'simpatia' is a major bonus for this place. Regarding the food, he has 2 options - a deliciously spiced chicken shawarma and fabulous falafels - each for R$ 12 (price is another attractive factor). Both the options are really well prepared and served in a version of the thinner version of the 'Khubz' bread (i need to check this with him) along with the tahini and other toppings. Also Ahmad really rolls the shawarma & falafel in such a way that the sauce doesn't leak at the end and one can eat while standing or on the move without creating a mess. Both the shawarma & the falafel are very delicious and well served and even though you're like full after one, you just want some more. It's really good to see proper ethnic street foods being sold in Sao Paulo and Halabi is truly a gem - will definitely be returning more time.

The bread is made by a French Baker in SP and Ahmad makes the kebab meat. The kebabs are fresh and tasty. For only 12 reais you can't go wrong with this little place.
