Habibi Falafel

My second time there and It was excellent again.Very authentic Palestinian food. Fresh, beautifully presented it was quite busy but service was excellent. Sarah took the order with a friendly smile served it and followed up to check everything was grand.She took good care of all the customers in the same manner. She is the perfect host.Looking forward to to returning.

I love this family business and appreciate how friendly and accommodating they are for ensuring my safety as someone who cannot eat gluten. While they offer foods not made with gluten, there is a high risk for cross contamination because of shared surfaces and gloves. I ordered in person and requested that they use fresh gloves and take other similar precautions. The woman who took my order was happy to help, and when the person making the orders started on mine, she called out to me to let me know that they were putting on fresh gloves so that I could see the care they were taking.The food was delicious and nourishing, so I've been meaning to order from them again.

I'm so excited to have found Habibi Falafel! After living in the Middle East for two years I'm kinda picky, and they absolutely hit the mark 100%. I ordered the lentil soup and a bowl with ribeye and chicken, hummus and babaganoush, and everything was hot, seasoned perfectly, and delicious. I will be ordering from them on the regular.

Habibi Falafel is located near a lot of medical offices such as Kaiser and UCSF as well as other offices. So this means if you go there during lunch time, it may get quite busy.We have been here a few times. Great falafel sandwich and yummy Chicken Shawarma. The ribeye sandwich also delicious. You can get wraps or Build Your Own Bowls.Small & clean restaurant. Halal. Nice & pleasant service.

Came across this new causal Mediterranean spot with fast service, overall good food and portion size. Seems like the food is made to order and the ingredients are all super fresh and seasoned nicely. I got a build your own bowl: Shawarma salad with everything (tomatoes, sumac onion, white onion, pickled cabbage, pickled turnips, pickles, and hummus +$1) Everything was good except I thought they can slice their onions a bit thinner. Their garlic sauce and their Habibi sauce (cilantro) is to die for! Would love to come back to try the sandwich and the mezze platter.

Habibi Falafel is a new spot with Mediterranean offerings on Divis, and I had a good first impression! It's a small interior, but everything looks newly renovated and spotless inside, so we chose to eat in. I got the mezze platter with an added pita and my boyfriend got their BYO bowl with falafels. It's sort of like Mediterranean Chipotle and comes with rice, protein, veggies, and a sauce. I loved their falafels, they were so cute and mini compared to the ones I'm used to, but still very crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. They were generous enough to add on a couple more than the 5 falafels that are supposed to come with the mezze platter. The baba ghanoush and hummus were both delicious, but I think I actually liked the baba ghanoush more. It had a smoky flavor and was extremely creamy with some pieces of eggplant. The salad was bright and fresh and the pickled veggies and sumac onions were nice accompaniments to the falafel. We somehow ordered the bowl to be almost exactly the same as the mezze platter with the exception of the addition of rice and the spicy chatta sauce. The rice texture was good, but I wish there was more seasoning to it. The girl at the counter was helpful and friendly, and the food came out soon after ordering. Definitely seems to be a popular takeout spot, I'm sure we'll be back here for that too. Overall, it's a solid spot for a quick bite with good value!

Great new place!They drew me in with the aroma and captured me with their delightful taste. The place is rather small and they mostly do to-go orders. The service was incredible as they were swift, sweet, and generous.Though a little more on the expensive side for a build your own ($17ish), the food was really good. They weren't skimpin on the sides. Will certainly be back

Had the kofta plate and the kofta has no flavor. I added cilantro sauce but that did not help. Surprised by the high yelp score.

Habibi Falafel is a fantastic spot for a casual bite in San Francisco. I tried the Chicken Shawarma pita sandwich loaded with fresh toppings, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were vibrant, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. The friendly staff added to the welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a quick meal. If you're in the mood for tasty Mediterranean fare, Habibi Falafel is worth a visit.

Love the Build your Own bowl! The chicken shawarma was tender and perfectly cooked and all the veggies were super fresh -- I got all the free ones (tomato, cucumber, sumac onion, pickles, pickled red cabbage, pickled turnip) -- with tahini on "salad" (I think it's just romaine?). Around lunchtime during the week, it probably took only 5 minutes or less!
