Cool spacious and airy space with solid Middle East eats. I've driven past many times but finally…read morejust checked them out recently. Crazy ambitious menu with pizza, burgers, wings, kabobs, wraps and many Mid East favs like falafels, dolmas, gyro and babaghanoush. I only tried a couple of items, so I do need to try a few more things eventually. Order at the counter and food will get brought out. Seems like a place popular for take-out/deliveries. On a casual lunch I was impressed by the diversity in the place, as it is downtown Hayward. Young, old and cultural garb from several cultures spotted. Service at the register was friendly, dude gave off ownership vibes. Falafel Wrap ($11/4*) Very fresh and satsifying wrap. Big, soft and puffy pita bread is filled to the brim with fresh salad-like veggies. Chopped lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of pickled items. Stuffed also with a decent amount of fat disk of falafel and a good dousing of tahini sauce. I loved the bites for the most part as I was full without feeling weighed down for the lunch hours. The falafels had good flavor but just didn't seem as crisp as I usually prefer, didn't seem fresh out of the fryer, which the places that are known for this definitely do. I especially liked the bites more when a pickled veggie entered the bite, so I should have ordered extra...next time. Beef Kabobs ($25/4*) Got this for take-out and it was still good hours later after a reheat. Beef is in small cubes and cooked pretty well done. A bit dry but at least it was flavorful. Definitely taste more Afghan in spicing/marinade, pretty bold with lots of garlic and herbs. De Afghanan out here in the east bay is the gold standard for these types of kabobs and those are cut into bigger chunks and are juicier by a lot. Kabob plates comes with a good amount of seasoned basmati rice, a pita bread, a small green salad and a small scoop of hummus. Even tho $25 seems a bit pricey, there is enough food to justify the price. I was able to make 1.5 meals out of it with a good dinner and a small work lunch. I actually want to try a pizza here and definitely a lamb kabob. I hang out in this downtown area often, so great having another casual option in my back pocket. Yeah Buddy!!

The steak was cooked to perfection as well as the chicken. Service is excellent and the cost was reasonable. When we got here, we were the early Linner group, but when we left, the place was packed. I'm looking forward to going back here again.

We had borani kaddu - butternut squash with yogurt and garlic sauce. This was a good alternative to the common borani banjan. the texture was perfect, not overly cooked, went well with the warm bread. perfect for vegetarians. Our vegetarian companion had borani banjan - smoked, grilled eggplants in the tomato yogurt sauce similar to the appetizer we had. But served with rice and salad and green chick pea side provided enough serving. it was delicious - they have an option to make it vegan as well. Now quabili palaw was the star! massive size of lamb shank, well seasoned, well cooked, perfectly seasoned. The rice was fantastic with enough sweet carrots and raisins. Will be back just for this! Shami kabob came with two kababs (picture only one as our little one already sneaked one!). Kababs were juicy, perfectly spiced, with enough rice and salad. Between quabili palaw and shami kabob was enough for two adults and hungry child... Khoshmazeh!

The plate comes with lamb and beef gyro meat, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. I also asked for their orange yogurt sauce and hot sauce. My partner loves the orange sauce and says it has an umami flavor. For me it is just okay, but I really enjoy their hot sauce. It is not the usual sambal you get at a lot of Mediterranean spots. It has more of a salsa style taste which sounds a little odd but actually works really well. It has flavor without being too spicy, though I do like my food extra spicy. The rice here is also worth mentioning because it is so flavorful and has that umami taste that makes you want to keep eating it. The owner is always very friendly and welcoming too. The restaurant is right next to Target which makes parking really easy. Highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back and next time I'll probably branch out and try something new.

Tried Habibi's Birria and let me tell you... flavor-wise? Certified fire. Wallet-wise? Mild…read moreemotional damage I ordered the 3 Quesa Birria combo for $18.99, which came with consommé, and added a single asada taco for $6.50. First bite of the quesa birria and it was over. Crispy, cheese-crusted tortilla with that deep, slow-cooked beef inside. The meat was tender, juicy, and loaded with that rich, chile-soaked flavor that sticks with you in the best way. Dip it in the consommé and it levels up instantly. Savory, slightly spicy, beefy goodness in liquid form. That dip is not optional. That dip is law. The asada taco? Simple but done right. Well-seasoned meat, good char, fresh toppings. Clean, classic, satisfying. Everything tasted amazing. No complaints about flavor at all. The textures, the seasoning, the consommé... all on point. But here's where I have to be honest. I'm used to the Hanford quesa birria that are literally double this size for $4, and tacos for $3. So paying $18.99 for three smaller ones and $6.50 for a single taco definitely hits different. Are they delicious? Absolutely. Did I enjoy every bite? 100%. Did I look at the receipt and pause for a moment? Also yes. So I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars Top-tier flavor. Great execution. Just expensive for the portion size compared to what I'm used to. If price isn't your main concern and you want seriously tasty birria, Habibi's delivers. Just know you're paying premium prices for those premium bites.

My usual order is the pomegranate chicken with tumeric rice bowl, lots of toppings including extra beets and pickles :) There are so many options when it comes to toppings and veggies so you can truly make your dish your own! I also very much appreciate that everything is clearly labeled for dietary restrictions (including gluten free and dairy free)! They offer an optional lentil soup to start with. It's warm, delicious and a great way to start your meal. The staff here is always so kind and welcoming. They are happy to make recommendations or explain ingredients, and they really go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your meal. You can tell they care about the food and the experience.
