Great Lebanese food in Columbus! I picked up some dinner here and it did not disappoint. The location has plenty of parking nearby along with street parking. There is ample seating, and I love the quirky decor. The menu offer is a variety of vegetarian, chicken, beef, and lamb options to satisfy almost any diner. I opted for the solo platter which came with chicken kebab, ground meat kebab, and rice along with all the Lebanese, pickles and sauces . First of all the meat was cooked perfectly and the rice is very flavorful. Also, the portions were huge. I also got the lemon mint smoothie which was a perfect compliment to the meal.! service was quick! Overall, a great meal.
Habibi grill continues to provide excellent food for a reasonable price. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The staff is very nice and friendly and everything that we've eaten has been very good. A special shout out to the baba ghanoush (comes with lots of pita bread) and the lamb shank here (comes with a delicious dipping sauce).
The food is outstanding. The service is quick. The Lebanese Cauliflower is especially tasty. The kebabs (I've had the Kafta and the Beef on separate visits) are generous, juicy and filling. I'm a 4 rather than 5 stars for two reasons. First, informality is just fine for me. I don't require fine dining and the speed that comes with their set up is a plus. But at a place where one orders at the register and picks up your own silverware, plates, napkins, water glasses from a stand near the door, I do not expect to pay more formal dining prices. So $22.95 for Kafta kebab to $26.96 for beef kebob entrees is pushing my budget limits for making this a regular visit. Lamb chops are $32.95. Maybe the sign of times with price of beef these days but ouch. So open eyes - informal doesn't mean cheap. Second, the hummus was generous and tasty with olive oil drizzled on top. Yet the pita was both dry and room temperature. If it had come out of a bag at Kroger's I would have said, bummer but that is what I am paying for. Edible for sure but again, $13.95 for a standard app and then a mid 20s entree. Gets pricey in a hurry especially if buying for more than yourself. So if you are hankering for kebabs, quick, and tasty then it definitely works. But don't be shocked when you tap that card.
It has been a few years since I was first here. Stopped by again with my husband and enjoyed it very much. I got the chicken kofta and he got the beef shawarma. Both were very good. The fruity carbonated drinks (Freez?) are REALLY good!
Excellent food! Excellent Staff! Excellent Ambiance! The owner was very helpful with ensuring that our order didn't have any allergy risk of peanuts and tree nuts. The owner also checked with us to see how our food was. The baba ghanoush, hummus and bread were an awesome choice for starters! The baba ghanoush is the best we have ever had! The bread was warm and fresh! The roasted lamb, lamb chops and chicken tawook were our favorite entrees! The garlic sauce was so delicious! The rice was excellent and we loved the red cabbage, pickled turnips, red onion, pickle and tomato that came with the entrees! The water stations made it very convenient to get your own drinks and refills! Great photo ops in the restaurant!
Always get takeout from Habibi. Weekly basis. It's super close to me so it's a no brainer. It's so good. It is more of a takeout place than sit down, at least that's how I see it. People still go and sit to eat though.
Habibi Grill is my go to Lebanese restaurant in the city; it is SO good! Their service is super speedy and the food is consistently delicious no matter what you get. My absolute favorite item is the chicken shish tawook wrap, it's the best I've ever had! Their hummus is delicious, and adding shawarma beef or shredded lamb to it, is the ultimate hack for the best loaded hummus! The fattoush salad makes for the perfect side to share & makes for a great balancing and light bite with whatever else you may get. You need to give them a try!
Visiting Ohio for the weekend and found this place in DoorDash. Was ordering for a group and saw they had a combo platter on the app for $80. Filled us up with the rice given. The platter comes with one skewer of chicken tawook, chicken kafta, lamb kafta, and beef shawarma. Topped with pickled vegetables. The chicken tawook was tender and least dry of the bunch. The rest of the skewers were on the dryer side but had good flavors and grill. Went well with the pita and yogurt sauce. Unfortunately they forgot our hummus in the order. The baba ghanoush was solid and had a good eggplant flavor. The beef shawarma wrap was flavorful but the meat was dry. Decent delivery place for the area.
Walking into Habibi Grill it is underwhelming from the outside but once you open the door you can tell there was care put into the design. The staff was very attentive and immediately walked up to me to greet me. I was just there for takeout, it took a few minutes which is always welcomed that it's actually made to order. Kofta was full of flavor and the fries were golden and crispy!
I'm not sure where to start. I decided to treat myself to dinner. That's a rare financial splurge for me these days. It had been a while. While everything looked good on the menu, I wish I had read the reviews, especially the negative ones more clearly. I was thrilled to see the presentation my dishes came in. I ordered a half order of hummus, the okra stew, and Lebanese Knafeh. The hummus wasn't terrible, the presentation was beautiful. The saving grace was the olive oil, as that had a nice robust flavor. While the hummus was silky smooth, it lacked flavor. It was the most bland I've ever tasted. As for the okra stew, again, it was beautifully plated. And I love okra,.... I'm completely prepared for a somewhat gelatinous experience when folks don't know how to work with it well, but putting that aside, I honestly think the dish had been sitting in a warmer or food prep and reheated one too many times or something. There was a very mysterious tang on the back pallet and I highly suspect it was going / was bad. There really wasn't any meld of spices or flavor. Just bland tomato base with okra in it. But again, no flavor. Except for that distinct tangy funk of food turning. The yellow rice that accompanied the okra would've been the second best thing about the whole meal. But even then it really had no flavor. I'm not sure how you can do rice like that and have no flavor. I purchased the Knafeh dessert "to go" at the time of ordering my entrée and side. It arrived wrapped in saran wrap in a box with a ketchup packet type of syrup to garnish (sugar water, no orange blossom). I expected it to be ready to eat if I ordered it to go. Clarity on that might have been helpful. I'm kind of saddened by this because I would've liked to have actually had orange blossom syrup as promised on the menu. Also, the Knafeh is supposed to be layers of shredded phyllo but it was one solid block Saran-wrapped block of starchy Stuff. I didn't get much cheese flavor out of it either. While I ordered it to go, it still was supposed to have come with pistachios dusted on the top. That was not the case. While you order your own food, they do deliver it and clear the table for you. I don't feel like it was appropriate to basically force me to tip upon checkout. I could've opted for nothing or typed in a zero, but that also felt off. So this terrible meal sent me back about $46. I really wanted to love it. **Edit to Add: While I took home leftovers (basically everything except the hummus), I tossed them in the bin as the stew had definitely turned to the dark side.
I got the food from door dash, the shish tawook is good with tender chicken. Their seasoning is very light which I didn't prefer. Rice is good, it's turmeric from the smell of it. And pickle and cold sides are good.
Besides the lovely Instagramable decor, the food was delicious! My friend and I ordered the vegetarian plate which had fasolia, houmus, falafel, baba ganoush, grape leaves, fried cauliflower, salad and fresh pita bread. We also decided to order the chicken tawook which was served with rice, pickles and garlic sauce (my favorite anywhere I go!) the service was excellent as we had several of the staff members come to our table and ask us how everything was. I highly recommend this place!
The food was good. I had a feta wrap however it could have used some more flavor. It was lacking a little bit. The service was great and my food came out fast. The inside also looked nice. However I did think the food was a bit expensive compared to the portion size. I would come back however, I would not be a regular
I've been to this place many times but have been waiting to write a review until I was able to come here with my friend who's family is from Lebanon and after taking him and getting his sign off on this is legit I thought ok time to let the world know how AMAZING the food here is. If you are looking for authentic Lebanese food in the heart of Columbus then you have to stop here. It's spacious, can fit large parties, had parking, just overall great spot with great food. I get the roasted lamb ALWAYS with a side of olives and it hits every single time. Love this family opened spot! read more

This is a great option for a quick, healthy meal if you're in the area. You grab a menu upon entering and then order at the counter. All utensils and plates and water are serve-yourself near the door. At lunchtime on a warm Saturday in spring they had a steady trickle of guests coming in. The person who took our order thanked us for supporting them. Food was quick and very fresh. I had 1/2 tabbouleh salad and za'atar French fries. The tabbouleh is more heavy on the greens than the grain which was a refreshing change to me. It was dressed in a bright, fresh lemony dressing. More than I could eat in one sitting. The French fries are maybe dipped in batter and fried. I'm not sure. But they are super crispy on the outside and fluffy inside - delicious. The ambiance is casual with various TV screens showing different shows and Middle Eastern music playing on the speakers. The interior is simple but warm and inviting with minimal but fun decor. While the prices are a bit higher than I would have expected, I could see myself returning for dinner. read more

First time here. When you walk in the sign says to pick up a menu and seat yourself. Another sign says: order here. I went with the Lebanese burger and fries. I was not disappointed. The food is made fresh and everything comes out hot. The wait isn't that long. In the meantime there are 5 TVs on. It's a very casual place and they have been opened for two years now. They seem to have a steady flow of customers. I would certainly recommend checking Habibi Grill for some authentic Lebanese food. Keep up the good work! read more

We had an overall good experience at Habibi: the food was excellent, priced fair and the staff were very helpful. The restaurant provides counter service with the food delivered to the tables after you order. The ambiance reminded me of a fast casual place, with brighter lighting and serve-yourself water, plates and utensils. We ordered the chicken tawook and the kafta kabob (lamb and beef). We also got the vegetarian platter - which was a great sampling of appetizers. All the food was super flavorful and was presented beautifully. Just a note there is no alcohol on the menu but they have a good assortment of NA drinks. Overall we had a good experience, but it feels like the food quality deserves table service to elevate the experience. read more

What an amazing place! I've lived down the street from Habibi for years and finally decided to stop in - and I'm so glad I did. Ali made my experience exceptional from the moment I walked in. He greeted us right away with such genuine warmth and walked us through how everything worked since it was our first time. Throughout the meal, he checked on us multiple times without ever being overbearing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. The food was also superb. We got the lamb gyro, chicken Shawarma platter and French fries. Ali also gave us a few sauces to try out. Everything was delicious and not a scrap was left! I truly felt at home here - I'll definitely be back! read more

I enjoyed Habibi Grill. The staff was friendly and were able to answer any questions about the menu. The restaurant was clean and they have a small parking lot. Good portions were big and worth the price. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Also once you order your food at the counter it doesn't take long to come out and everything is hot and seasoned well. I would definitely go back. read more
What an great experience we had for last weekend. This place feels authentic and the staff is super friendly. We hesitated about what to order and we finally decided to order the 2-3 platter combination (maybe is not that the name) but it had a little bit of the main dishes and I was impressed about the portions and the flavor, I could order this again if I'm going with the family or friends to share the meal but if you want to order different entrees is valid too, the only thing I did not like a tad is the fact that you have to order at the counter, get your own plate, water and silverware and the prices are elevated for this kind of fact food system. For those prices I would expect to have a full service. But hey give it a try and you won't regret it. read more
I've been here a few times and crave it often! The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and has two dining areas. The parking is a bit tricky in their lot but there's street parking available. The restaurant is usually lively and busy, but it's welcoming. There's a self serve station for plates, utensils, seasonings, and water! We usually get a couple entrees to share and you really can't go wrong with anything. They also have platter options for groups and their portions are decently sized and filling. I really enjoy their lamb and beef options, they're flavorful and made well. Their hummus is absolutely delicious, I recommend! I also liked their spicy potato side dish, it was very good. I also recommend their spiced chai, it's warm, flavorful, and sweet. Overall, you can't go wrong and you'll be back to try it all. Staff is always kind, always helpful, and they'll take care of you! I recommend them for groups, casual date, tasty food, and a good experience! Have been back many times and will continue to come back. read more

What a lovely experience here! You leave there thinking flavor, flavor, flavor! Everything we had was delicious and very flavorful, I definitely appreciated it! I used to go to the Bethel Rd location under the same owner and we used to enjoy the food there as well. The location is a bit far for us now, but glad we tried Habibi Grill. This was a celebration meal post half marathon for a few. There is some parking right with the restaurant and if not, plenty of street parking nearby. The restaurant has fun decor inside and is a self service type of set up. You choose your table, go to the counter to order, and they will bring out the food to you. There is a water and utensils station, where you get your glasses, straws, napkins, plates, etc. I actually quite liked this option as it is not a big place and we could just get whatever we needed when we needed it, rather than waiting. The Lebanese burger was highly recommeded to me by frequent visitors, so I went with that. I was not disappointed! It was a huge burger with lots of flavor. I usually don't like coleslaw, but this one was bery different and more of a Lebanese pickle style, which went great with the burger. I also appreciated the char on the burger. You can order fries separately as a side. I think it can be a bit pricey like that and wish the fries were included. The hummus and pita was good and was shareable. The chicken shawarma was nice and tender and flavorful. My toddler enjoyed that. My husband enjoyed the beef shawarma entree and mentioned that he liked the cooking of the beef. We look forward to coming back and I also recommend the Lebanese burger to everyone. I think I will have to try the chicken shawarma wrap next time, as the chicken was very nicely made and not dry at all. read more

I absolutely loved my visit to Habibi Grill. I am not very familiar with the area where the restaurant is located, so I was initially dismayed that it was across the street from Budd Dairy Food Hall. Arguably the best food hall in the city, my initial reaction was to go to Budd Dairy instead of Habibi, however, when it was all said and done, I was very happy with my experience at Habibi. The concept is simple and efficient - you order at the counter and help yourself to the utensils. When the food is ready, it is brought to your table. The restaurant itself has a casual vibe, but has some very tasteful wall decor. We ordered several dishes - Hummus and Kibbeh for appetizers, Beef Shish Kebab and Chicken Shawarma for main entrees, and a Mango Smoothie to drink. All the items we ordered were fantastic, and huge portions. The hummus is one of the best in town, and both the chicken and beef were well-seasoned and tender. The smoothie was also flavorful, and actually tasted like mango. I am already looking forward to going back to Habibi. Yes, I know Budd Dairy is across the street, but Habibi more than holds its own as a fantastic Lebanese restaurant. read more

We ordered for takeout, and the rating is really more of a 3.5 overall. Parking is tricky in this area, but they do have a small lot. The prices were a bit of sticker shock ($27 for a vegetarian sampler), but when you see the portion sizes it makes more sense. There are no "lunch" sizes offered here. The chicken shawarma entree was a hefty lunch portion for two of us. The hummus appetizer could easily feed 4 people - it is almost party catering size. The gentleman running the place is great. Really polite and helpful. He was expediting takeout orders when there was some confusion with the staff. Atmosphere is very casual with self serve seating and lots of TVs. On to the food itself - shawarma was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The yellow rice and pickled veggies tasted very good, but were extremely salty. The hummus and pita was a big let down. Hummus had a huge pool of oil in the center and was just way too oily to eat. The pita was just regular old bagged pita like you get at the grocery store and it was very dry. At these prices, definitely not worth it. We are spoiled with some great middle eastern food in Columbus, and this was enjoyable but not a standout for me. read more

Michael, thank you so much for your review. Your feedback means so…
My partner and I were really excited and looked forward to trying Habibi because of the hype on social media and high rating on Yelp. However, our experience was kind of a letdown. It was probably a 3-3.5 for at least two reasons. First, this place is pricey. I had sticker shock checking out the menu. I'm a big fan of other Lebanese and mediterranean eateries in town and wasn't sure why this spot was so much more expensive. Two adults who ordered a wrap, chicken entree, and two appetizers (no drinks) paid $68 dollars...it felt at least $15 bucks overpriced. Second, the food was pretty bland and underwhelming. The highlight was the beef shawarma wrap. But the hummus, while smooth and silky, had zero seasoning and too much olive oil. The cauliflower wasn't much to write home about either for the price (approx $10) considering the portion. The chicken shawarma with rice was quite large but basically tasted like grilled chicken without much salt. Nothing was inedible or unappetizing, but for the price, I was just expecting a lot more of a wow factor. On the more positive side, the staff was very friendly and helpful when we had questions and when checking in our meal. Additionally, the food was served pretty quickly after we ordered. Finally, the portions (minus the cauliflower) were large and you may have leftovers. For some, that may offset the high price. Overall, I wish I could rate my experience higher but think they need to look at their pricing or revamp some of their offerings in order to justify the cost. There are many other spots in and around Columbus where I've found more flavorful and/ or more affordable Lebanese/Mediterranean food. read more

We are disappointed you did not have the same 5 star experience…
Stopped by here after our plan A was closed. Been hearing a lot about Habibi Grill and seeing all the social media attention really hyped up my expectations, unfortunately, to me, it was all hype and no substance. It is definitely a nice space, casual ambiance, and a nice little outdoor patio. Staff is all very nice but its mostly a help yourself type of restaurant outside of getting food brought to you. We ordered the fried cauliflower and hummus to start. The fried cauliflower was a pretty small portion and the hummus was quite large. Taste wise, the cauliflower was alright, good but not standout. The hummus was fairly bland to me but very creamy. It came with pita that felt like cut up, store-bought pita. I wish they did something with it, like heat it up or toast it. For mains, we got a beef shawarma wrap and a chicken shawarma entree. I thought the beef shawarma wrap was the best thing I had here. Well seasoned, decently portioned, and overall tasty. The chicken shawarma was not seasoned in the same manner, which was quite a disappointment. It tasted like subtley seasoned grilled chicken, not bad, not great. The rice it came with was nice though. Overall, I would say this is a very hyped up restaurant and may still be getting some adjustments correct in the kitchen. To me, food was pretty average for the cost, though portions aren't bad. With so many similar options in Columbus, I probably won't be returning any time soon. read more

November 2024 Yummy yummy DELIVERY ! 5/5 TLDR: please try the spot for flavorful food, fair portions, and high-quality ingredients! I am in town for work for a few days, this place was a mile away, but of course I had to use a food delivery service. Ordered The Steak Kebab: I loved the dressings (red onion, pickle, cabbage) that come with the steak kebabs the steak itself was tender and juicy with distinctive grilled taste that you need in life. Rice was perfectly cooked AND SEASONED. Sauce enhanced flavors in the best way. Grape Leaves: Grape leaves were chilled and the perfect texture. Tangy with creamy yet firm rice filling. Both distinctive flavors and super delicious Loved both. I just wish there was more lettuce. read more
Habibi Grill 614 is one of those places that's so damn good you gotta come back and try everything on the menu. The service, ambience and of course the food is absolutely on point! I'll probably come back and try everything on the menu, it's that good. read more

Received delivery from Uber Eats today; great portions, and tried the hummus and Shawarma entree today. Delicious! I will have a couple more meals out of all of this. Wish they would deconstruct the gyro when being delivered. Pita gets a little soggy. Love this place -- making excuses to be able to eat here! read more
