Reviews for Habibi in Lincoln, NE
Great staff went above and beyond. They were out of the Arabic tea but made some just for me. I had the chicken shawarma... sandwich and it was as authentic as if I was in the middle east. Will be back to eat more. Went back again and the food wasdelicious once again. Read more
Food is not authentic, it's bland, overpriced and the reviews about the rude and lazy staff are 100% true. If you are looking... for an amazing gyro go somewhere else. They give you french fries with your order and hot sauce packets like this is burgerking. Wait until Sultans Kite opens again. The owner does not listen to feedback he justs argues online and makes excuses whilecontinuing to mismanage his responsibilities. Read more
So we were driving to our home state from Colorado and decided to make a stop in Lincoln because it was too late and we were all... tired driving so we checked in the hotel and decided to order good food for dinner. After I did some online research and foundHabibi restaurant that had better rating and decided to order food from there. I think they were closing the restaurant for theday but of course they were greedy and did not want to say no to the order that they shouldn?t have taken. I asked for twoHabibi platters and three sodas. The reason I ordered those platters because the person at the restaurant/on the phonerecommended that they are one of the best they have on their menu.While I was ordering food the guy on the phone also told methat they don?t have hot sauce because they were really busy that day and it?s not available anymore but he promised that hewill make some on his own and will give me with the food and that?s when I decided to place the order. The total was $52 andsome change which I thought for only two platters are bit expensive but since they were special platters so may have a goodquantity of food for the money that I?m paying.. When I went to pick up the food and took a look in the bag and realize that thequantity of food is way less than what I was paying for and also the rice seemed a little undercooked because they were littlehard and there was so much oil in the rice and also to my surprise I see that the hot sauces were not the real Middle Easternstyle hot sauces that i was promised. They were little bags that you usually get from a fast food restaurant and when I askedthe guy that you were supposed to make hot sauce for us, he said that he could not and that?s why he ran next-door restaurantand brought some hot sauces from there which was to my surprise really odd. I?ve never felt that bad after ordering food fromsomewhere and paying so much money. This place is super expensive for the quality and quantity of food they give Read more
One of the best meals I?ve ever had! We had both the beef and the chicken shawarma over rice, and both were super tasty!... Gigantic portions, but I?ll have lunch at work tomorrow at least! Will definitely be coming back when we?re back up this way! Read more
I've only been there a few times now, but there food is excellent! Great customer service, too. When I went today they were out... of beef shawarma, so I opted for the chicken. They made me a HUGE sandwich, and gave me a baklava. I will definitely be goingback to support this restaurant, especially because it seems like no one can succeed in that location. Read more
A move to downtown made this an easy stop for me. I ordered a combo meal, because I can never just choose one item. There was... chicken and 2 kabobs, rice, hummus, pita & pickled things. The flavors were great, the portions were big - leftovers for sure,the hummus was delicious, so was the pita bread, I added that on as a side/app Edit: Our return visit was WAY Better!Everything was really tasty, hot and fresh - SO GOOD!! Good flavors Good service I will go back for sure. Read more
Presentation, service, overall experience was great. Food was lacking when compared to other Greek establishments in town. ... That being said, this may be more authentic? No Olives? Pita was not warmed up. Rice was very good and colorful also. But ifI have to choose between a trip out to Habibi or Sultan's Kite, Ali Baba's, or Gourmet Grill... I would think just a few minoradjustments would take the food to the next level. Read more
Food was delicious and quick. The young guy on the counter is super nice too.
