I don’t normally give a 4 star. Its either 1 or 5 but I feel its too harsh to drop this to 1 when its very comparable to close by restaurants. The food quality on par with most of the Lebanese places in the downtown area, which means it certainly wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t notably good either. overall the food is I would say the food could be improved as it was fairly middle of the road. The flavors were good but the meats were dry and could have had some more care in prep.
The man who I assume was the owner by his energy and demeanour, is very polite and welcoming, and the place has a seeming good authentic vibe although we did get take away. The prices seemed about normal / average $20 for most plates. The bread did look nice but we didn’t get any with our kebabs. I should have asked to order.
Really wish this place was excellent as its close to where I live but I think its worth it to drive to the east side to get a bit better meal.

This place is amazing! Great mezza plate and lamb shawarma. Cute on the inside, and we got our food quickly. I really liked the martiniz and the red Lebanese wine was also very good. Good sized pour of wine! Come here and eat

This mixed plate delivers authentic flavors—zesty tabbouleh, creamy hummus, crunchy falafel, and juicy kebab served with soft pita. The combo is balanced and satisfying, making it a solid pick for a tasty Mediterranean meal!
Leo was very welcoming! Love this place.

This place is amazing! We went on a quest to get a different sort of food than we usually can in our small town, and I was blown away. Everything from the cabbage rolls to the faytah was flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and delicious. The owner (?) who served us was charming and personable. I could not recommend this place enough!

Delicious chicken shawarma wrap. The spice blend was fragrant, the chicken was perfectly cooked and not a bit dry. We sat outside as the weather was beautiful. Very prompt and friendly service.

The owner, Leo, is awesome! My husband and I were in the area for a weekend getaway and stumbled upon Habibi just walking around. We decided to give it a go and man oh man we were not disappointed! We loved the food so much we came back the next night for dinner. Highly recommend the hummus, the feta plate, the tabouli, honestly everything was delicious and SO fresh!! It felt so good to have an authentic meal with real ingredients! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again!

Stopped in for a date night, and this place is amazing!
We had the falafel, lentil soup, baba ganoush, and tuna skewers. Everything was phenomenal, but the tuna skewers were my absolute favorite! Cooked and seasoned perfectly. It was my first time trying arak. I love anise, and it was delicious!
The baklava was hands down my favorite that I’ve ever had, which is saying a lot.
My only disappointment is that I’ve passed this place so many times without stopping in! Seriously, so good!

Really great chicken shawarma. Service is 10/10 — attentive and friendly waitstaff. Small space but excellent atmosphere. Glad I stumbled across this place today.

One of my all-time favorite restaurants in Portland. I absolutely love the hummus and tzatziki. I also enjoy the lentil soup and the chicken shawarma plate.
I’ve been coming here for years and the food is still at good and consistent as when I first started coming.
