We love this place! The flavors are amazing, and there are plenty of option for my vegetarian husband. My only complaint is that they close too early for us. We tend to get home late. :( read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in this area to get vegan food. There are quite a few vegan options, all of them very delicious.

I like this place. I order from GrubHub to my hotel. Salmon salad and lamb shawarma are good. I do NOT like the "kibbe" though. Never heard of them (and google came up blank too) so gave them a try. Sorta these weird fried stuffed balls. I had pumpkin and maybe lamb. Maybe they'd be better right out of the fryer. Baba Ganoush and naan are traditional and really good. read more

We found this casual cafe en route from NY to CT and needed a meal and pitstop. Its located near the I84 exit at a small roadside mall and is clean , bright with plenty of seating. The falafel, served with tahini sauce was delicious, moist, and fresh. Also enjoyed the lamb and chicken schwarma which were seasoned well. read more

We loved the food, and the falafels were especially delicious. The beef shawarma wrap was delicious and the salads were the best. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a place to have lunch or dinner. read more

I don't get why this place has such a high rating. The concept is cool - kind of like a Panera Bread for Middle Eastern food - but the food is just ok and the price is high for the portion size (also kind of like Panera Bread!). For the most part, the food is either portioned in small pieces, or put in plastic containers, so even though it seems inexpensive, unless you have a small appetite or are on a diet, you're going to leave hungry. They also are pretty skimpy on the pita bread - come on guys, that stuff isn't that expensive last time I checked. The people are friendly and the layout kind of reminds me of a clean, fun, cafeteria: bright colors, cool murals, and open space. It's cool for lunch - just make sure you're not too hungry. read more

Kibbe just like back home in Lebanon and variety that I havent seen yet in the US: lentil, potato, pumpkin... Do yourself a favor and try them all. The tabbouleh is authentic as hell and the spicy falafel are a must. Lovely service and vibe, nothing like munching on some Lebanese food with Fairouz playing in the background and photos of Rawche on the walls. Definitely comin back while in Danbury. read more

A great place for middle eastern food. The food is great, but the show-stealer is the bakery. The desserts are fantastic and the selection is incredible. Come for the food and stay for the dessert. The atmosphere is relaxed which is pleasant. You can't leave without having some kibbe. They're fairly inexpensive, but delicious. Enjoy! read more

Kibberia - Middle Eastern Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Pros: delicious, consistent, fun, fast, online ordering, diverse menu Cons: weird hours (closes at 8 during the week) I've wanted a cabbage and lentil salad for dinner twice on a Thursday at 8pm. Not even kidding. What's up with that? Something about 8pm makes me crave iron apparently... anyway- try the cabbage and lentil salad, it's good. The stuffed pies are awesome too. What more is there to say? read more

Dang. Mixed reviews lead to temptation... would this be a five-star surprise or a total disappointment. Well, it's pretty much smack in the middle, as it goes. I go easy on places offering any kind of Middle Eastern cuisine - maybe I shouldn't - but this was a fairly drab offering. I got the beef shawarma pocket combo, which was a dense, vaguely spicy beefburger patty (shockingly similar to a McDonald's burger with added spices) on a thin pitta with a layer of hummus, a gigantic pile of lettuce and tomato. That's not shawarma. Shawarma is shaved meat. The chicken and lamb shawarma seemed to be the same deal: weird burgers. We also had a falafel combo which was apparently decent, if under-seasoned. The decor is weird, it's like one of those relaxation/meeting areas you get at the entrance of a supermarket, or, as other reviews have said, an airport lounge. Very bright and airy, it looks like they should be selling coffee and cake (which they DO, confusingly - the coffee is Turkish and overpoweringly strong, we didn't try any dessert stuff but they sell truffles and baklava and stuff). It's a weird combo - and it's cafeteria style too (order, pay, take a number, sit down, wait) which sort of takes away some of the exoticness of the food. There's no ambience whatsoever, though on the other hand it is extremely kid-friendly - and the staff are all genuinely lovely and helpful. I'll give this another go sometime, but visit #1 was a very mixed bag. Very good hummus (honestly, the hummus added a star to this review), decent coffee, decent falafel, everything else seems to be a wildly inauthentic stab in the dark. Change the decor and tighten up that menu, people. read more

I LOVE Kibberia! It's such a great place to go to relax for a bit and eat great food, without being bothered or rushed to leave. It's a cafe setting, where you go to the counter to order, but the staff will deliver your food. It's so pretty, warm and inviting inside with bright colored walls and furniture. My favorite order is the spicy falafel with a side of hummus. It is absolutely to die for! The tabbouleh is a great side order alongside to cool your palate between falafels. The lamb kibbe pocket is great if you're a bit hungrier. Another major plus...the tea selection! They have an entire binder of great varieties. My go to is a wonderful apricot black tea with honey, it's amazing. Try not to leave without getting some fresh walnut/pecan/any kind of baklava! read more

This place is so amazing! Has a open ambience which is nice and gives the place plenty of natural light. As you enter you have choice to sit either in tables or booths which is always nice. A nice open pastry counter the wraps around to the registers and kitchen. The menu has so much to choose from and honestly you really can't go wrong with anything. I've had many things from the menu either eat in and take out. The meals are so good and definitely will fill you. A bit pricey but worth the price. Slow service but again worth the wait. Everything is fresh and tastes made to order. You have to come here. A gem in Danbury food fare. read more

This place is really good. I had the Kibbie combo, 6 different types. I choose beef, chicken, potato, and pumpkin. They were all delicious. Though my favorites were the beef and the potato. The humus was delicious and creamy. The tabouleh was delicious, really really delicious. Very fresh. I am putting this on my list of place to recommend. The pita that is served with each meal comes in a thin plastic bag to keep it fresh. If you like middle eastern food, you will like Kibberia. read more

Really deserves 3.75 stars. Good middle eastern fast food joint. The food is a bit on the expensive side, especially if you are like me and like to sample around, but quite a bit of fresh air in a city that has every fast food joint around and very little outside the American or Italian options on the take out side. The falafel isn't the best I've had, but it is perfectly respectful and you can't go wrong with the spicy falafel option. Several types of hummus are also available and quite delicious (although really, have you ever found bad hummus?). I've also sampled many of the pies offered and can't get enough of the spinach and feta pie. They offer several flat breads that look delicious but I haven't gotten around to sampling any of them yet. My biggest complaint is definitely that they stopped making the stuffed grape leaves. So tasty and I don't know anywhere else around to get the fresh hot variety. Sure, Whole Foods sells them, but they are cold and no where near as good. I also do t like the way they cut their chicken up for certain types of salads. It taste delicious but looks like cat food. read more

This is a great place that offers a quality that is found in a home kitchen. Fair pricing and exceptional service. FREE WIFI (not a big deal anymore, but it got your attention). Nice Vegan Options (I'm not a Vegan but I play on at Tito's). The owners are very nice and the place is clean, hip, and retro. I great stop before or after visiting Trader Joe's, which is only down the street. I hope that this might convince some yelper to try them out. You wont be disappointed. read more

GREAT food FRIENDLY staff NICE decor If you love Middle Eastern food or are willing to give it a try this is the place to go. Great, great inexpensive food, extremely friendly staff, cool modern decor. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent kibbi! My wife and I ordered at 11:17 am and got our order at 11:43! No one in the place except us and it takes 16 min. To do two kibbi??? Lots of luck , they need to speed up the service a whole lot! Oh, not a word of apology from the server, could this place be run by another Hanna?? Joe read more

I don't get how a few reviews say the portions are small. In regards to just the salads they are around 6.99 and you get a HUGE portion in a giant pita bowl. My favorite is the cabbage and lentil salad. Even when I am starved I can usually only eat half. The platters are also very large. As a good Greek girl I can give the stamp of approval that their hummus is awesome. The staff is super friendly and the food amazing. I love going here for lunch and sometimes do take out for dinner. read more

I really liked the idea of Kibberia. Panera-like setup for Middle Eastern food? Count me in! Sadly, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. Don't get me wrong, it was not bad, just not exceptional. I had the spicy falafel combo platter, which came with a side of hummus and tabbouleh. The hummus was really great, the tabbouleh and pita were decent. I thought the major downfall of my pita was a mealy tomato, but it is hard to get good tomatoes in January, so that might have been beyond their control. If we lived closer, I would easily go back for a quick falafel fix, but I'm not sure I'd make the trek back to Danbury just to return. However, I do want to add that I thought the service was fantastic for what is essentially a cafeteria-style place. The young men they have working there are really on their game and super helpful to boot. read more

My boyfriend and I were starving but wanted to go for a healthier option and so I found kibberia. The food is awesome and the falafels r soo good. We will definitely be coming back here again and we'll be bringing more people to enjoy there food. read more

I had the lamb shawarma combo and I was so delicious I went back the next day and got another one. I don't know about the rest of the menu, but I LOVE the shawarma! read more

Yes yes yessss this place rocks! This is our after work go-to when we want something quick, delicious, and reliable. The staff is really friendly and the food comes out quick. What more could you want? read more

I've consistently ordered lunch here for the past 6 months and have never had any issues. They make the absolute best lentil soup, and I'm also a huge fan of the falafel flatbread. Very highly recommend!! read more

I have gone there twice and been impressed both times. Both times I got the Chicken Shawarma Pocket Combo. The chicken shawarma is fantastically garlicky and delicious. The tabouleh is very good, with lots of tender parsley and tomatoes. The hummus is good and so is the baba ghanouj. Servings are generous and prices are very fair for what you get. Denfinitely fresh food! Update (year later)- I have continued to eat here whenever I am in the Danbury area and still love it. Both the chicken and the beef shawarma are delicious. The tabouleh is the best I have ever had and the spicy baba ghanouj is a nice change from plain baba ghanouu. I usually get the shawarma pocket combo; with tax it is less than $10 and plenty of food. I tried the backlava once but wasn't that impressed. The piece I had was a little stale. The desserts are also a little pricey. read more

This place is really something - I have been here almost a dozen times and each time it keeps getting better and better! Stumbled across this gem a couple years ago when I got lost in Danbury trying to find a dinner spot. Some things are just meant to happen and when I stumbled through the door of this cafe I knew I had stuck upon something special. Kibberia has some of the most delicious things I have ever tasted, especially the lentil soup! The owner and staff are beyond nice and courteous. And the location is amazing (right off 84 exit 2) so it's easy to stop while driving through CT for a quick bite. This is a must when passing through Danbury! read more

Ordered my first Falafel wrap as takeout from Kibberia on my way through Danbury today and it's honestly the best Falafel wrap I've ever had! I ate every morsel read more

Like another reviewer, I'm obsessed with this place. I make a point of stopping in Danbury so I can eat here -- it's that good. They make the best tabouleh I've ever had, and their smooth hummus is available in many delicious variations, including artichoke and horseradish. It's a fantastic option for vegetarians and vegans, as well as carnivores. And their customer service is fantastic. Can't say enough good things about Kibberia! read more

Stopped here for dinner on my way home to meet up with friends for a day trip and was seriously disappointed. I love kibbeh and have had it in different countries and this was sub standard. The service wasn't helpful when I asked a question and the hummus and pita were some of the worst I've had. The "hummus" tasted only of tahini and nothing else. I love pita and hummus and these just did not cut it. I was excited to try this place as I love kibbeh but I would not return or recommend. read more

Came here as a first time consumer of Lebanese food. I had the chicken flatbread; it was pretty good. This is more of a serve yourself venue but is very clean with comfortable seating. There seems to be some pride taken here. read more

Food is delicious! What great change from the typical foods. Servings are plenty. I ordered the falafel platter and brought some home. Enough for 2. Bought some of the pockets (cheese, chicken, beef) and my kids really liked them. read more

Amazing, the best Middle Eastern place I've ever eaten at! This place has great atmosphere, a super-friendly staff, delicious deserts, and a yummy menu. Soooooo good. read more

I haven't been in a while but I used to have a business near by and went a couple times a month. Great fresh tasting food, clean facility and quick service. The Kibbe in a pita is a nice option to replace a burger with something a little healthier. I always left feeling full but not bloated. I'm not sure how many definitions shawarma has but though it was good it wasn't what I expected. Also the espresso like coffee (Turkish coffee? I forget) was an interesting experience especially if you like your coffee strong. read more

I'm hooked! I dream about this hummus and their fresh pita bread! The great thing about this place is the versatility. You can stop in just to grab some hummus to keep in your fridge for the week, or you can go sit down for an amazing meal. I love trying new things on the menu each time I visit, but my favorites are the chicken schwarma and the Kibbe Pocket with lamb. Make sure you get some of their fresh baked goods, especially the Baklava! read more

Saw them driving home after school recently and stopped in to try it out. I've been there a couple of times and tried the hummus (they have several flavors like olive/oregano, artichoke etc) which is savory, rich and great on the fresh pita bread. There's definitely more in it than the traditional recipe. No more supermarket stuff for me. The baba ganoush is smoky with smooth, thick texture that isn't watery. The tabouli was fresh with parsley and lemon flavors. They make the kibbe and falafel fresh to order which they say (and I agree) makes a big, big difference. The spinach and Feta, Meat pies were great - and a cheese pie which reminded me of a very small Lebanese calzone. I thought the kibbe soup was good but salty. There's also desserts which I haven't tried yet but look good. read more

Finally a place in Danbury to get great hummus and chicken shawarma. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Pricing is decent. Bottom line you go to eat, and the food was delicious, the presentation was nice as well. read more

This place is a solid option with decent food. Very casual atmosphere with counter service and a friendly staff. Favorites were the Bulgur Wheat and Tomato Salad, Falafel, and the Baba Ghanouj, all delicious. The kibbe, spinach pie, and desserts were average. Not bad, just not notable. The coffee drinks were strong and very good though...we had Turkish Coffee and Cappucino. Bottom line: I will go back when in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way or make a special trip. read more

this is at best 3.5 I dont understand why you cant rate a restaurant as 3.5 Hope yelp or trip advisor will change thier scoring system so people can rate restaurants as 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and so forth this restaurant is rated as 4 overall by others, m sure many would have picked 3.5 if there was choice. Food was good, not worth driving long but if you are with in 15 minutes of the area its worth going to. read more

Good Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern food in a casual atmosphere. Employees are friendly, food is made fast, and they have lots of options. Chicken soup is exceptionally good, although it sometimes arrives at surface-of-the-sun temperatures. This is, however, preferred to cold soup. read more

The food was very tasty. Felt more commercial than homemade. They had a wonderful variety of vegan and vegetarian options. The tabouleh salad and falafel were so good. Everything sampled was awesome and very affordable. Will definitely go back to visit and try dessert! read more

Location, location, location ... not exactly. It's located towards the backside of a strip mall. The windows make the place appear darker then it actually is. It's very pleasant inside - starting with the young lady taking my order. She was very helpful and patient as I asked many questions about how the food was prepared. I ended up with the chicken shawarma wrap combo. It was really really good. The combo came with humus and a small salad for 9.99. It was more than enough. I was very happy that I came in. I think you would be as well. read more
