Stopped by here for dinner and had a lovely experience. The staff were very kind and nice through our whole dining experience which we really appreciated. He was very helpful which we appreciated. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter and chicken shawarma pita which were both delicious. The portions were generous and flavorful. The hummus also came with pita which was a nice addition. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside it was a typical fast casual layout, that was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would be a great place for lunch. The food also came out pretty quickly! Looking forward to coming back again. read more

Habibi Lebanese Grill - Chicken Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I love this little authentic Lebanese Grill! Nothing fancy - but just like grandmas old kitchen - the food is what you come for! Prices are very fair for this fresh food. I've been on the go since before the sun was up today. Usually I would get the food to go - but today I just needed to sit and eat like a human instead of in the car etc I wanted a few minutes of peace and quiet before going to my chaotic home. Is there sometimes a 10 to 15 minute wait for the food - yes... I'm more than happy to wait because everything is prepared fresh in your view. I grabbed my phone and expected to watch TikTok for entertainment... Be aware! If you can't wait the 15 minutes - save this place for another day unlike a nasty woman who was loosing her mind that 15 minutes had passed and they were putting her meal together. People are wild - I wanted to say mam - do you not see these guys moving as quickly as they can? I sat and watched for a moment. Both of the guys working tried nicely and calmly to explain that they were preparing the food etc - she was literally having a temper tantrum. Thank goodness I don't work in that field as I think she would have been wearing that food. Anyway this review is long overdue! I am always happy with the food. Seeing how they handled a wacko customer made me sure these guys care very much about their business. The garlic sauce is to die for! We have never got any dish or dessert from here and not gobbled it up! Enjoy!! read more

Habibi Lebanese Grill - Chicken Shawarma Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Habibi is my neighborhood go-to for Lebanese cuisine. The food is always flavorful and delicious. I only got hummus on this visit. The hummus does come with pita bread. Habibi's hummus is one of the best I have ever tasted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get busy at Habibi.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today, I was able to get in and out quickly. There is lots of parking available. read more

This is one of the best Halal places I think on the side of town because of how rich and authentic the flavors are and the quality is substantially better than most stuff out there, which is why this is my go to. read more

Habibi is close to the Orlando international airport. They offer many vegan options. I went with the falafel platter. It came with three sides. All sides are vegan. I went with tabbouli salad, hummus and spicy potatoes. It came with pita bread and tahini. Solid food. Friendly service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Simple ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also went with four dolma. Recommended! read more

Nice staff and delicious food. Tried this place while craving Mediterranean food, and it was a great find! Juicy chicken kabobs and creamy hummus hit the spot. The rice wasn't my favorite, but everything was served hot and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small, busy place -- worth a stop for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I enjoyed every bite of my plate! The falafel was so tasty and the rest of the plate complimented each other so well. Came with someone who has a rather, American taste for things and is picky, that truly enjoyed the chef platters. They had their first falafel here and doesn't want to give me their falafel anymore! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Haha the ambiance is so nice, other guests were pleasant, and the service here was so nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would totally recommend this location to others! read more

The service here is always great!

I have been going to Habibi for years and it never disappoints. It is the best Lebanese food in the area and is always full of flavor. The service is always helpful and everything is made to order so it is fresh, not stale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small business so it does have indoor seating, but not a lot of seats, there are some outside seats as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall I highly recommend this business. read more

Habibi Lebanese Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The service was fast and friendly. The price was reasonable. The shish kabob was a bit under cooked while the kafta kabob was a bit dry. Very good taste, though, and I'm sure it would be better if the cooking was aligned. The kabobs are also a bit small. Would have liked more meat. The hummus was well made, whipped nicely and flavorful. The stuffed grape leaves were equally good. The Mahmoud was very dry and crumbly. I mentioned this to the manager and he said they are brought in from Michigan. I'd skip them in the future. Overall a good experience for a quick serve restaurant. read more

Habibi Lebanese Grill - Grapeleaves Kibbie Kabob Skewer Garlic Sauce Rice Pudding, Hummus, Mahmoud - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Where should I start when it comes to Habibi!!?? We drive 50 min from our house to eat here and that should say a lot! First of all, don't confuse this place with the other Habibi as this is the better of two locations (different owners I think). The food here is always cooked to order, the service is always awesome and it makes me feel like I'm back in the middle east when I eat here. Certain items do run out so if it's later in the evening, good luck having it available. The kefta kebabs are juicy, the hummus and baba ganoush is fresh and flavorful. If you're a fan of garlic, they have one of the best garlic sauces (thoom) around. The chicken and beef shawarma is really good, one thing I can say is that the meat is def not dry like some places. They even have a kids pizza that we ended up eating more than our 3 year old. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is small and it's better for takeout unless you don't mind sitting outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is one of my favorite restaurants to recommend to anyone in Orlando that wants authentic Arabic food read more

We recently dined at Habibi Lebanese Grill and had a mixed experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is small and cozy, which gave it a comfortable, welcoming feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The workers were friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. We started with the lentil soup. While the flavor was good, it was served lukewarm even though we were dining in. That was a bit disappointing. The fattoush salad was good overall, but it did not taste like traditional fattoush and was missing the usual pita chips that give it that signature crunch. Still enjoyable, just not quite what we expected. The tabbouleh salad, however, was very good and fresh. The biggest disappointment was the chicken shawarma sandwich. The chicken was dry, which took away from the flavor and texture. Shawarma is usually juicy and well seasoned, so this was the most noticeable issue. Overall, it was not a bad experience, just inconsistent. With a few improvements in execution, this place could easily be a solid go to spot. read more

This is a bit expensive for the price paid, but the food is pretty good. When you enter, you go to the counter and order your food and drink. I did the chicken kabob wrap (9 dollars). After ordering and paying, I sat down at a table, waiting for my food. There were many other patrons waiting as well, so I knew it may take some time. There was a TV playing the news as well as middle Eastern music in the background. They make their food fresh, so it does take a bit of time to grill the chicken. About 15 minutes later, my food was ready, which I took home. The wrap had some marks and the bread was a bit hard due to the press and double breaded, but it held the ingredients inside quite well. The chicken was a bit tough, but still flavorful with the sauces added. I believe hummus, garlic sauce, and the requested hot sauce were there, as well as tomato and some pickled vegetables. The flavors came out pretty good and the portions were right. I always have the food to go here as many tables can get occupied. The wait is normally a bit long, but the service is relatively friendly and helpful. I normally go to the Publix within walking distance, then come back to get my food. You can also call ahead to order, then pay and pickup your food. While this isn't my favorite place for Middle Eastern wraps, it is still a good and healthy place near Metrowest for them . read more

Habibi Lebanese Grill - Chicken kabob wrap - 9.00 - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place was the first place I went to when my wife and I arrived in town this trip. Why would that be? Habibi is the best middle eastern place for schwarma in the state, hands down! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My wife and I walked in, and the people not just welcomed us, but, remembered us (we haven't been in over two years) and the place was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When my wife and I ordered the schwarma sandwich, and the schwarma platter, we both were enjoying ourselves quite a bit. I'm not upset to say that I was initially worried about if the prices increased a bit, but, I realized my order almost was consumed over two meals by myself. The chicken is moist, the hummus is perfectly flavored, and the garlic sauce *chefs kiss*. My only regret is that they may not be ready to put another location elsewhere yet (which I'm here to help with). Habibi, come to Tampa! read more

We used to love this place and every time we came to Orlando we ordered here. Unfortunately the past 2 times the food has been disappointing. We ordered the chicken wrap both time and each time the chicken has been extremely overcooked and completely dry . Hopefully they'll go back to how it was read more

Awesome food. People are very nice and service is good. I will definitely be going back multiple times a month.

Habibi is one of our favorites and so happy that they will be opening one closer to our house. Everything is very tasty and seasoned very well with pretty big portions to have left overs. The chicken shawarma is our kids favorites with the delicious fries and we love their Mediterranean salads with steak or chicken on the side. Their baklava is very tasty for something sweet afterwards. read more

Food is excellent order falafel, shwarma taboule or mixed appetizer with hummas, babaganush and heap leaves. And staff very accommodated whether ordering take out or eat in! read more

LOVE Habibi!! We get it for our office pretty frequently- always so fresh and everyone loves it. Amazing flavor

I'm someone who really enjoys eating at this place -- their food is usually very good. But today, the cook young guy who prepared our food. The place was almost empty, just us and a few ladies who were eating. He messed up our first order. They told us they would remake it, but properly this time. They ended up making one correctly and the other one wrong again. We complained again, but then they didn't do anything until we insisted. Finally, a new cook made the food for us in less than two minutes. In the end, the young cook seemed very distracted, and while we were waiting for the last shawarma for like 30 min, he prepared everyone else's order except ours. read more

This restaurant smells amazing. All the workers are really nice. The only reason I'm giving a 4/5 is that my husband didn't feel good after he ate his shawarma platter. My friends ate here a few times when they were visiting and really loved all their food. read more

Exceptional food. Great authentic variety. The owners and staff all took personal pride in treating us as guest.

So I have been doing my best to explore Orlando cuisine far and wide. I heard that this place has some of the best Middle Eastern food in the city. At least according to the fine readers of Orlando Weekly. So I grabbed a couple of friends and took the long trek down to Hiawassee and checked it out. I get in this place, and I see just delicious food displayed everywhere behind the glass. There's nothing better than watching those spinning meat sticks in the back getting ready to get eaten by me. I check out the menu and weight out my options, knowing I kind of want a little bit of everything. I decide to get the Chef's Platter for 2-3 people (Chicken Kabob, Shish or Kafta Kabob, Hummus, Tabouli, Grape Leaves (V) & Falafel. Served With Garlic Sauce & Pita Bread). And, because I wanted it, I also got the Chicken Shawarma Platter (Marinated Chicken Breasts Roasted Slowly On A Spit, And Cut In Thin Slices). I mean, everything was good. So good. The kabobs were awesome. Charred to perfection and not dried out because of it. Don't just eat them off the stick, though. You gotta grab of a hunk of meat with the pita, dip it in the hummus, maybe a little garlic sauce, a slice of pickle on top. Basically I'm telling you to get your hands dirty and play with your food here. This kind of cuisine is so much fun for that. The hummus was better than anything you can buy in a store. Mega creamy, and teeming with spices. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the outside, like a Lebanese hush puppy. And the pita bread was so soft, so rippable, and the perfect vessel for me to make dozens of little sandwiches with multiple flavor combinations. So good. Also also, the shawarma was excellent. First time I've ever had shawarma, which is surprising, since I saw the Avengers back in like 2012. Very flavorful. This one was a little dry, but hey, all meat that's barbecued like this can be dry. That's why we invented sauces. And tabouli and hummus and rice, and pickles. Very good stuff. Overall, I really really loved this place. I wasn't sure how I'd like the Lebanese focus with the foods that were more basic Middle Eastern, but everything new I tried here was really excellent. The staff was super friendly and made me feel welcome. I will definitely be back here one day. read more

Service was non existent... gal at register was not helpful at all, just wanted to chat with young man working counter... BIG chatfest. No service to bring food to table... no advice to pick up at counter. When picked up, order was missing side, then she literally threw it together. Taste? Still indigestion after 3 hours... tasted not fresh and had to eat something else at home to try and neutralize persistent flavor. read more

I ordered the mixed Shawarma wrap. It was amazing. The meat is juicy and flavorful. The sauce and vegetables in the wrap are so good. The meat is halal as well.

(4/26/2023) got several to-go orders for coworkers and myself. I thought it was all really delicious, savory, well spiced. Def get the garlic sauce. I've been to other Habibi locations, and I think this one is the best. There was a line and quite a wait. I had ordered ahead of time, but still not ahead enough. One guy very nice and hustling, the other did not engage and didn't look like he was doing much useful (he must have owned the place). Hope they keep up the food quality. read more

Habibi Lebanese Grill - Taste of Lebanon Platter with Kabob Skewer - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Have been coming here over the last few years! Everything has always been consistent. I can tell it has gotten some paint and stuff making it look nicer. Our favorite thing to order is the chicken shawarma or the mixed one that has chicken and beef. I however ask for all the veggies and sauces on my chicken one and it is soo good and massive. I even had hubby put it up by his head for size reference lol The staff is super nice and they wear gloves and I saw them change them a few times which is nice. read more

Habibi has been a favorite of my family's for years! It's a quaint little restaurant that is always kept clean, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Today, we had an order of grape leaves as an appetizer to start. I love grape leaves, and these were perfect! Even my aunt who usually doesn't like grape leaves enjoyed Habibi's grape leaves too! We also shared an order of hummus with an extra order of pita bread. They're absolutely delicious. The pita is thin and tastes homemade, unlike the disappointing puffy ones at grocery stores. It tastes authentic, as does the hummus. We love the oil, seasoning, and herbs in it. For our main lunch item, we each got a small lentil soup. It is perfectly seasoned with a perfect consistency--not too thick or thin. We also enjoyed the hot sauce. I took a picture of it after we had already used up most of it! It was different from the hot sauce I remembered them having in the past. While this one is not really spicy, it has a great flavor which is addictive. I could have consumed a whole bottle of it. read more
