I come to eat here for lunch every time I'm working in the area. However, the last time I was here…read morewas over a year ago, so I was curious if it was just as good as I had remembered. I'm happy to report that their food is still awesome! Also, their dining atmosphere is really cozy, although very open with plenty of seating. Very nice music, appropriately themed, playing in the background. I was greeted by my hostess at the door immediately, and she was my server as well. Very friendly, happy and checked on me at just the right times. I always go for that Combination Plate, because I just can't steer myself away from it. The Chicken Shwarma and Gyros meat are always tender and flavorful. The Grecian Sauce, aka Tzatziki is amazing! The pita bread is fresh, and the hummus is a nice side along with the feta salad.

My major concern was the kefta kabob which was not served hot and it was rather dry unfortunately . I think I it's because a tour bus had arrived and they were overwhelmed. Otherwise, good service!

This place is great…read more I pulled into Marksville last Tuesday evening. It was my first visit and I was in town for work. Since it was dinner time, I searched Yelp for restaurants and discovered many are inside the casino and most were closed on Tuesdays. The few exceptions were fast food joints, several Mexican joints, and Habibis. I chose Habibis and liked it so much that I convinced my team to come back the next day for lunch. It is that good. For dinner, I had beef kabobs. They were among the best kabobs I have ever had. Tender pieces of beef flavored and cooked perfectly. Yes, please. For lunch, I had the combo shawarma and gyro plate. It was as good as the beef and among the best that I have ever had. Would I go back to Marksville just to eat here? Probably not, there is not much else to do in town if you don't enjoy casinos. Will I be back here to eat if I am in town for work? Hell yes. If you find yourself in Marksville, you should make sure and try Habibis.

And the Lebanese tea is so good, I could drink a pitcher of it by myself. Our family of four can eat well here for not too much more than we'd spend at a typical fast-food restaurant. The chicken shawarma pasta and gyro wrap are favorites for us. It's a nice option on the Westside for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking!

Never thought I would equate Middle Eastern cuisine with Baton Rouge. But it's a cuisine that…read morecomes to mind when I think of this city thanks to this spot along with the stellar reviews that accompany it. This is one of three Albasha locations in the southeast Louisiana area. Thank god this location is near our field office in Baton Rouge which is where I was assigned to in early October allowing me to dine at this spot for lunch. The dining area spacious with plenty of seating. It does get a lot of traffic during the weekday lunch hours; probably cause of the lunch specials that are offered which we took advantage of. The menu consists of your typical Mediterranean eats such as hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita (spinach pie), chicken/beef schwarma, lamb shank, moussaka, and kabobs (just to name a few). Lunch specials involve plates which include a feta cheese salad, rice pilaf, and hummus that accompany the entrees. Ranging from $14-18, this is quite the steal, especially during times like these. The Lamb Shank lunch I ordered was delicious with plenty of food that I had to have a to-go box to bring the remainders with me. The chicken shwarma and vegetable platter were ordered by other parties who both loved them. And we also started with the fried cheese which is served in a bed of olive oil and spices with some cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Very tasty, especially with the vegetable garnishes. I need to get another assignment in Baton Rouge so I can come back here again!

The owner has since have swapped out old incandescent bulbs for daylight (cool temperature) led bulbs. It's lost its warmth and coziness and romantic charm. The patio was full and so we had to eat inside where my date joked that I might as well have taken her to eat in a hospital waiting room to eat because the lighting would've been more flattering! I'm not picky about these things but I had to agree. If the owner reads this, I employ you to spend a dollar per bulb and swap out the daylight LED bulbs for some warm LED bulbs. I might be back but I guarantee you unless that changes made it will not be on another date!

I really enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken and what really won me over was the char. This meat was freshly sliced off the pit and not sitting in a pot waiting to be served and losing its freshness. I also noticed some things on the menu that seemed unique, like skillets, so I will definitely have to try that next time we are in the area. The extra Kalamata olives took it over the top! The interior was quaint, cozy and inviting. This is not the place to come with a large group. We look forward to next time!
