    Habibi has great staff, who are very attentive and the restaurant is clean and presentable. The food itself is very rich and savory. I tried the truffle fries, a bread dish (pictured but I can not remember the name), and an item that contained NotMeat. All three dishes were very filling and hit the spot. This restaurant also has plenty of vegetarian/vegan options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

    First off, the negative reviews for this place are a bit outdated, and imo lack details. The differences in reviews can also be between breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or even with resort members and non-resort members. So I can see where there may be a heavy bias in experience. We are Palace members and get pampered to, so my review is all positive. We abide by their policy to dress appropriately, arrived on-time for our dinner reservation, and loved everything about it! Dining & Atmoshphere: - Clean white-linen tablecloth dining. Clean silverware in place once you're seated. - I'm not sure what Lebanese decor should look like, but it appeared very elegant to me. - I noticed some tables with hookahs, but they were not used during dinner. Imagine how annoying it would be eating with smoke/vapor blown in your face. So I'm actually glad they were not used. - We were surrounded by many families, so they'll make accommodations for kids and large parties. - It can get a bit loud, but we went on a night with belly dancers and modern Arabic-type of music. So the high volume level was expected. As well as eye opening entertaining! Wine, Food & Service: - Started off with Mauricio, who was not considered a pure som just yet, but definitely on his way up. He recommended a local red cabernet that actually tasted like a blend but paired very well with our meats. - Second, we were attended to by Carolina! She took care of us from beginning to end. And her service was fantastic in every way! She also recommended the "sample dishes," since we've never been there. This was basically a sample of all their appetizers, main dishes, and meats. We started with fresh pita bread and some green (basil) hummus appetizer. SO DELISH!!! I saved some for the meats. - Other appetizers, we were given a traditional Khachapuri. OMG, that cheese bread with the broken egg yolk! LOVED IT!!! The Pear Fattoush Salad was also refreshing, as was their two tasty rice dishes. - Meats! We loved the grilled octopus, rack of lamb and it's minty pesto. Can't say the chicken breast was all that. A bit dry. Pork belly is pork belly, still a good choice. But the BEST was the 48 hour Slow-Cooked Short Ribs! The cuts were just so tender, fatty, and juicy. It went well with our red cab. ~ Desserts! They were decent. I'm just not much of a dessert person, but I did like the flavors. I'll assume that management must've taken the negative reviews to heart, or I'm in the wrong place. We were greeted by manager, Viridiana. She thanked us and checked on us as we gave compliments to Carolina's excellent service. Simply put, we absolutely loved everything that was served from beginning to end. You're in Mexico, you're on vacation, so don't expect authenticity to be exact. Just enjoy it!

    Habibi is a cultural experience in addition to dining exploration. I love the different hummus and olives. The Khachapuri is fun to see finished table side and tastes rich and creamy. The kabobs are always a great choice. Me least favorite item is the French toast, which is really cake toast. Cakey consistency that is super sweet and more of a dessert than breakfast. Service is good. One of my favorite restaurants.

    Jallab , Arak , orange juice

    One of the first restaurant I tried here in Moon palace . The ambience and decor is soothing and beautiful. We tried their Jallab , it's one of the most refreshing drink you can have with full flavors of rose water and dates. Hummus was very good but the falafel , baba ganuoj , okra stew was not great. Falafel was dried I had much better falafel outside , okra was very hard and chewy . I had their lentil with noodles soup which was nice with full flavors in it . Turkish coffee is a must try dish. Service was good but I think if their vegetarian options can be made better it will get 5 stars.

    Nice breakfast!

    Breakfast was yummy. Hummus was awesome! French toast was great and everything was nice

    The vibe in here is great and decor is soooo beautiful

    This place was great. Not sure if you can just make reservations and come from offsite but it's worth a visit. The ambiance and food were wonderful. The staff was delightful and Viridiana was an absolute gem, she was so kind to us on both visits!! The chicken with yogurt, chicken and rice, hummus, cheese bread, and cheese dessert were the standout items. My husband doesn't eat lamb so I missed out on those. A great vibe, excellent dancers, a fun place for hookah, and a beautiful vibe.

    This is inside the The Grand Moon Palace Resort. A few nights a week at 6:30pm, they have a belly dance show. They don't take reservations, so come early to line up. The service was great, but I did not enjoy the food as much as the show.

    Pasta with Tomato Sauce - 10/10

    My family, my dad's friends and I came to Cancun and stayed at the Moon Palace resort. In this buffet, all the food is amazing. Breakfast Time: Breakfast is even better than lunch believe me, they have pancakes, muffins, waffles, Nutella, cheerios and so much good options! I took pancakes, waffles, French toast and a brioche muffin! I got way more than lunch but it's worth it the food is so good! I hope this helps! Lunch Time and Dinner Time: I suggest going to the pasta bar to get custom pasta freshly made! The deserts are really amazing and they have good drinks. I took some pasta, chicken nuggets, and French fries! I know it's a lot but the food is too good! I also took a chocolate tart the second time, I hope this helps!

    Wonderful food! If you get here right at 6pm when they open or get in line earlier they can usually seat you pretty quick. Make sure you are hungry because they bring out so much food that we were almost full before the main course. The dancers add a nice element to the experience as well!

My daughter is part Lebanese so we HAD to come check this place out and we are glad we did. The yogurt on out plates... incredible... so light and fluffy. It was unreal. the desserts were phenomenal.

I should have taken that as a hint to leave but I ordered grape leaves anyways. They weren't horrible but they definitely were the worst I've ever had. I asked the owner/waiter what the white sauce was and he said it's yogurt. I asked what kind of yogurt it was cuz it tasted weird to me. He said someone makes it fresh. I asked if he was sure it hadn't spoiled. He got offended stormed off to the kitchen and brought out a container of yogurt and said, "we make it fresh it's my family ancient recipe". I felt like crying. I couldn't enjoy my meal at all. It was one of my worst experiences ever. Now I know why in the 15 years I've lived here this run down restaurant has never blossomed into more than it is. Someone with such horrible customer service should not have a restaurant and deal with customers. Guess they are too cheap to hire a waiter who knows how to treat customers.

    A new Turkish place in Playa Del Carmen!…read more I saw this place when someone posted it on FB, and I knew I had to try it. Turkish food is some of my favorite, if not my favorite, in the world. The place is cute with upstairs and downstairs seating. We met Dennis who was super nice and welcoming. I knew not to expect too much, as once you've eaten food in the country of origin, it's hard to be authentic in a different county, just because of the logistics of trying to get the same ingredients. We ordered the dip appetizer and the grilled sampler platter for two. The appetizer was really good. They serve it with garlic bread instead of pita bread, I'm sure because of the difficulty of obtaining the naan. The eggplant was my favorite and the hummus was good. The yogurt dip was good, but a little sweeter than I am used to. The grilled sampler for 2 people could feed 3 or 4! The first thing I tried was the lamb chop. It was to die for!!!!! Then I sampled the 3 other meats and 2 types of chicken. Everything was tasty, but oh that lamb chop. I was very impressed that the chicken was not dry at all and in fact, super moist. The rice and veggies were good too. Then of course they follow up the meal with a Turkish coffee or a tea. I saw someone order the Turkish breakfast, so I will be back to try that next. Don't expect the exact same flavors as Turkey; however, for being in Mexico, I was extremely happy with the food and the service.

    This is the new Turkish restaurant where is far skittle bit from the main road at playa del Carmen…read moredowntown. So kind of surprise that not people much.. the owner is our server who is nice guys and friendly. He explains every question that we have so end up our dinner is really good.... delicious . No disappointed
