I got a falafel sandwich here recently as takeout. It was fine, but underwhelming. Granted, I am picky about the flavor and texture of my falafels. These were lacking in flavor. Fine for a quick dinner, which is what I needed, but I've had better for sure.They are located in a cute little complex on Silver Ave. that feels like an old house, so it would be worth dining in.

Midnight at the oasisSend your camel to bedShadows painting our facesTraces of romance in our headsHeaven's holding a half-moonShining just for usLet's slip off to a sand dune, real soonAnd kick up a little dust...That we did on the comfortable porch overlooking Silver Avein Nob Hill at..Habibi Restaurant...We Shared,a most surprising and delish appy called..."Mantu" of large Ravioli like pasta stuffed w. beef and covered w. lentils and a tangy sauce. Each bite was most delectable. And..."Kabuli Pulao" an Afgan Dish of pilaf rice w. rows of pickled pepper, raisins, salad and marinated lamb. Each bite when mixed was very nice. A sauce if avail. would nicely suffice..:) We washed our grub down w. water and Arabic Coffee. We wished wine would have been avail. But, a Hybrid Strain sang Habibi..:)Come on, till the evening ends'Til the evening endsMidnight at the oasisSend your camel to bedGot shadows painting our facesAnd traces of romance in our heads...Best, Avram Sultan Jr.

We enjoyed lunch at Habibi House today. We ordered the Mix Grill-A, comprised of two lamb chops, a beef souvlaki skewer and a chicken souvlaki skewer, fresh warm pita, baba ghanouj, hummus, and tzatziki sauce, plus some falafel for an appetizer.My word, everything was delicious! The falafel had a bit of a spicy kick which went very well with both the baba ghanouj and the hummus. The chicken souvlaki also had a little heat which was balanced nicely by the cool, creamy tzatziki. The beef souvlaki was a little chewy but nicely seasoned, and the lamb chops were the meat highlight for me.Be sure to tip in cash so the server, who was manning the register as well as covering all the tables, benefits.Service was great and the prices are reasonable for outstanding food. We'll be back!

I never knew this place existed. I happened to be buying something off facebook marketplace, and the owner's wife said I could meet up at their restaurant. We got to chatting, and I saw they had lentil soup (something I hadn't had since my monthlong visit in Turkey). The lady said I could come by and try the soup when I bought my item from her. So we came by, and tried a grill plate, the chicken shawarma, soup, and a slice of cheesecake.Everything was hands down delicious! The rice was flavorful. The meat was super tender and tasty. The presentation of the food was beautiful! We will definitely be back. I'm so excited to find a tasty restaurant with good prices. I can't wait to return, and I will definitely be excited for my leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Also as another huge plus, the owner is super friendly and welcoming.I definitely recommend this place!

I tried the Habibi House, and I must say, it was so good! I ordered their chicken shawarma, and it was tender and flavourful. The dish comes with a side of nutty rice, a fresh side salad, and a warm naan bread, which complemented the main dish. I took half of it home and it was just as good the next day. My server was sweet and attentive and I love that their cute patio was so quiet and peaceful.

Really enjoyed my first visit to this place, from the appetizers to the meal to the desert the food was all on point! I really liked the cheese sambosas and the bite of lamb i stole was one of the best I've had on a good long while, chicken shawarma was delicious, the hummus was smooth and lovely. The baclava was nutty and delightful. They kept the lovely little french cafe ambiance from the previous place, and added some nice photos petra/jordan and a few other locations i could not recognise. Cute, small, tasty, friendly! This will go on my regular rotation. Ps if you know someone who fixes german espresso machines the owner has a fancy one that needs work!

I'm Lebanese so I'm going to be pickier than the average eater going to a place claiming to be Lebanese. The owner was friendly and engaging but the food was just OK. I think we may have gotten the wrong sandwich, I wanted the garlic paste (called toum, which is a hot garlic paste) but could barely taste it. He was out of tabbouli, which is a pet peeve, just go to the store. Its a staple of Lebanese food. The falafel was tasty but nothing spectacular, it was grainy and not pureed well enough. The hummus and meat was my favorite. I was disappointed that the bread was no where like Lebanese bread. It is thick like pita, which isn't what I want at a Lebanese place. I'd go back of others wanted to, and am glad I tried it but it missed the mark for me.

I was thoroughly enjoying a couple of shawarma sandwiches from this place (takeout) when suddenly I almost swallowed a large, sharp shard of broken plastic that was inside one of the sandwiches. If I hadn't noticed in time, I'd probably be suing them right now for my medical treatment. So dangerous. How do you not notice that when prepping your food??
