overall 3.75/5 the food was fresh and very nicely presented. my only lack of in opinion was the menu was very small. as well as the reviews on the page isn't current at all. the menu there vs online is different. it's alot smaller. the wraps were great the hummus was okay, the fries were gross they were the plainest general fry you can eat. the place is very pretty, clean, welcoming and a great place to be in, when i went with my friend we were the only two people there. they did tell us though that they are expanding there menu so in a in some time it can be changed and maybe that will have different taste and or recipes as well read more

I got a falafel sandwich here recently as takeout. It was fine, but underwhelming. Granted, I am picky about the flavor and texture of my falafels. These were lacking in flavor. Fine for a quick dinner, which is what I needed, but I've had better for sure. They are located in a cute little complex on Silver Ave. that feels like an old house, so it would be worth dining in. read more

Yummy!!! This was the most delicious meal I've had in ABQ! Affordable, made fresh, and so yummy!! The service was wonderful, we felt so well attended to! The building, furniture, and dishes were so cute and homey. Wonderful experience, would recommend to everyone! read more

We enjoyed lunch at Habibi House today. We ordered the Mix Grill-A, comprised of two lamb chops, a beef souvlaki skewer and a chicken souvlaki skewer, fresh warm pita, baba ghanouj, hummus, and tzatziki sauce, plus some falafel for an appetizer. My word, everything was delicious! The falafel had a bit of a spicy kick which went very well with both the baba ghanouj and the hummus. The chicken souvlaki also had a little heat which was balanced nicely by the cool, creamy tzatziki. The beef souvlaki was a little chewy but nicely seasoned, and the lamb chops were the meat highlight for me. Be sure to tip in cash so the server, who was manning the register as well as covering all the tables, benefits. Service was great and the prices are reasonable for outstanding food. We'll be back! read more

Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Shadows painting our faces Traces of romance in our heads Heaven's holding a half-moon Shining just for us Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon And kick up a little dust... That we did on the comfortable porch overlooking Silver Ave in Nob Hill at.. Habibi Restaurant... We Shared, a most surprising and delish appy called... "Mantu" of large Ravioli like pasta stuffed w. beef and covered w. lentils and a tangy sauce. Each bite was most delectable. And... "Kabuli Pulao" an Afgan Dish of pilaf rice w. rows of pickled pepper, raisins, salad and marinated lamb. Each bite when mixed was very nice. A sauce if avail. would nicely suffice..:) We washed our grub down w. water and Arabic Coffee. We wished wine would have been avail. But, a Hybrid Strain sang Habibi..:) Come on, till the evening ends 'Til the evening ends Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Got shadows painting our faces And traces of romance in our heads...

Really enjoyed my first visit to this place, from the appetizers to the meal to the desert the food was all on point! I really liked the cheese sambosas and the bite of lamb i stole was one of the best I've had on a good long while, chicken shawarma was delicious, the hummus was smooth and lovely. The baclava was nutty and delightful. They kept the lovely little french cafe ambiance from the previous place, and added some nice photos petra/jordan and a few other locations i could not recognise. Cute, small, tasty, friendly! This will go on my regular rotation. Ps if you know someone who fixes german espresso machines the owner has a fancy one that needs work! read more

I never knew this place existed. I happened to be buying something off facebook marketplace, and the owner's wife said I could meet up at their restaurant. We got to chatting, and I saw they had lentil soup (something I hadn't had since my monthlong visit in Turkey). The lady said I could come by and try the soup when I bought my item from her. So we came by, and tried a grill plate, the chicken shawarma, soup, and a slice of cheesecake. Everything was hands down delicious! The rice was flavorful. The meat was super tender and tasty. The presentation of the food was beautiful! We will definitely be back. I'm so excited to find a tasty restaurant with good prices. I can't wait to return, and I will definitely be excited for my leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Also as another huge plus, the owner is super friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I tried the Habibi House, and I must say, it was so good! I ordered their chicken shawarma, and it was tender and flavourful. The dish comes with a side of nutty rice, a fresh side salad, and a warm naan bread, which complemented the main dish. I took half of it home and it was just as good the next day. My server was sweet and attentive and I love that their cute patio was so quiet and peaceful. read more

I'm Lebanese so I'm going to be pickier than the average eater going to a place claiming to be Lebanese. The owner was friendly and engaging but the food was just OK. I think we may have gotten the wrong sandwich, I wanted the garlic paste (called toum, which is a hot garlic paste) but could barely taste it. He was out of tabbouli, which is a pet peeve, just go to the store. Its a staple of Lebanese food. The falafel was tasty but nothing spectacular, it was grainy and not pureed well enough. The hummus and meat was my favorite. I was disappointed that the bread was no where like Lebanese bread. It is thick like pita, which isn't what I want at a Lebanese place. I'd go back of others wanted to, and am glad I tried it but it missed the mark for me. read more

Absolutely amazing food! Meat was juicy and flavorful, and the coffee taffy drink was the most amazing coffee I've had!

I was thoroughly enjoying a couple of shawarma sandwiches from this place (takeout) when suddenly I almost swallowed a large, sharp shard of broken plastic that was inside one of the sandwiches. If I hadn't noticed in time, I'd probably be suing them right now for my medical treatment. So dangerous. How do you not notice that when prepping your food?? read more

Excellent hummus and kofta! Very nice staff. Will be back to try the mantu and other items for sure.

Tried Habibi House for the first time, visited for a late lunch. Wow, I am just blown away by the food here! I've tried a lot of Middle Eastern restaurants in town and The flavors here are just a tiny bit elevated above most of the choices out there. Hummus was smooth and topped with some whole chickpeas, and favorite meats of what I tried here were the chicken shawarma and the lamb chops. I was most surprised by the pickles - generally, I don't like pickles at all and avoid them, but these were very nice and not vinegary at all. I would definitely try the pickles here again, and those are words I never thought I would say about pickles. Sambosa appetizer with cheese was delicious, the texture is somewhat similar to wontons, but more delicate. Pistachio baklava for dessert was wonderful, not as sweet as a lot of baklavas and a really rich nutty flavor. Service was great, unobtrusive yet attentive. Atmosphere feels simultaneously cozy and beautiful, photo doesn't really do it justice, there's all these amazing details in the wood trim, ceiling molding, and archway. Classic Nob Hill style that has been elegantly restored but also feels casual and comfortable. It was a little on the chilly side today, but the outdoor seating looks really nice for warmer weather, kind of an elevated patio that is set back from the street a bit. read more

Had lunch today with my wife. We were greeted by an old man in whispered voice. We ordered the vegetable dumblings, OK but since the menu has no description, it is hard review them. They were ok. We ordered the mix grill it was three chicken kababs, not one each of chicken, beef, and lamb as on the menu. Never got bread or pickles per menu. Staff eating and drinking in the dining area. Don't bother. read more

Excellent Mediterranean food with a good sized menu served by friendly staff. Everything they served us was amazing. We had several different kabobs, lamb chops, salads, hummus, pita bread, rice, etc. The meat was so juicy and delicious and the hummus was perfectly creamy. We'll definitely be returning with our families in tow for them to enjoy as well. read more

Y U M. This place is fantastic! A slightly different take on mediterranean fare with some amazing grilled skewers and various platters. All of the sides were excellent, including the hummus and baba ganouj which you could tell were house made. Family owned and run with a cute decor. Very friendly folks. Absolutely looking forward to coming here again! read more

Excellent hummus, great falafel. I was not too impressed with the Baklava; it's clearly not made there. My friend had the chicken skewer and said it was good. She especially liked the tzatziki sauce. Quiet place early afternoon. Price was reasonable. Will definitely be back! read more

Shawarma is good however I was disappointed with the serving of the mixed grilled I went there expecting a feast like the ones I had in the mid east but oh no , Boy I was wrong , good ambiance though but so little serving for an expensive price, I hope you improve on this . read more

Excellent service and phenomenal food- they offer smaller portions so I was able to order a little bit of everything. I got lamb kabob and the sampler. Also don't skip out on the tea, they have a special blend that's amazing. read more

First time coming back to this area since before the panny. I love trying new places & love mediterranean food, so I thought I'd stop by. As I walk in, I overhear the girl at the desk having a conversation on the phone & I just wait there awkwardly because I'd like to order to go. Eventually, I was greeted by someone, I presume to be the owner, in the dining area & was asked to sit down. I already knew what I wanted but they asked me to look at the menu. I waited patiently, and after I requested & and received my order, I could have just walked out of there without paying because the only person there to take my payment was girl on the phone. I understand. We all need to make phone calls. BUT Idk about you, but it's not my favorite pastime trying to flag down & speak to someone who is also in a full-blown conversation on a telephone. I pay for my swarma entree, about $14. It was to include pickles, chickpeas & garlic sauce, which I received none of. It came w a tzatziki, a swarma pita & a sad, swimming in dressing, Greek salad. It was aight, but that price is v steep for the value I feel I received. They were kind & it was okay, but I don't know if I will be going back. read more

Delicious Greek food. Most tender flavorful lamb kebabs. Fantastic service. Rice, pita bread, falafel and tzatziki sauce are all beyond delicious. This is a must place to come and eat in Albuquerque!!!! read more

I was super excited to try this place out because I live close. I Placed an order on the restaurant's website was charged and given a confirmation number and pick up time. When I arrived at the restaurant they had no record of my order and told me there's nothing they can do and "I should have used door dash". When I asked what I should do because I placed the order on their website and had already paid. I was very rudely told "that's a you problem". Don't waste your energy and money on this place. read more
