Ok this place is fantastic. Yes it's a hole in the wall and it's basically just a take out place. But I had to try it. I knew what to expect walking in a gas station but didn't know it was going to be cooked fresh and DELICIOUS! The service was super friendly and pointed me the right direction. I wanted a rice dish and got the lamb to try out. Wow! It was full of flavor and not greasy like some places. Ultra flavorful rice, with meat and a nice salad to go with it covered in a nice white dressing. You can also get a hot or a garlic sauce on the side. This will be the first of many times we will go. 1. Take out only 2. Grab a drink there at gas station or at QT and enjoy a nice halal meal. read more

I used to recommend this place, but after my recent experience, I can't anymore. First, they barely have any sides or appetizers. The only side they consistently seem to have is fries. I wanted cheese fries, but they told me they didn't have any cheese. That made no sense because they were still selling hamburgers and chopped cheese sandwiches, so clearly they had cheese. On top of that, I was told my food would be ready in 20-25 minutes, but I ended up waiting an entire hour. When I finally got my order, it wasn't even made correctly. I asked for both white sauce and red sauce, and neither was included. The long wait, lack of menu items, and incorrect order were very disappointing. I had been seeing them promoting this place on TikTok and I wanted to support a local business, but after this experience, I hope they improve their customer service, food preparation, and inventory management. The only reason for two stars is they sauce but they stay forgetting it!! read more

Habibi’s Deli - Lamb over rice - Halal Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

You should absolutely try this place without a second thought! The food is delicious, and I truly appreciate the humility and kindness in the way they greet their customers. They even take the time to listen to your story while preparing your meal--such a personal touch! I visited for lunch and loved it so much that I grabbed takeout for my family in the evening. My kids couldn't get enough of the chicken over rice, and the wings were absolutely fire! This was my first visit to Monroe, and this spot completely won my heart. Highly recommend! read more

Not your typical gas station food! Food was hot, fresh, and actually really good. The chicken rice dish is awesome. They make their own white sauce to pour over and I can't get enough of it! read more

Food is amazing and prices are low for the amount of food you get. I had rice bowl with lamb, and husband had rice bowl with chicken. They have a great variety of drinks too. I had mango drink with chia, and husband had guanabana juice. Highly recommend! Staff is great too. read more

First, let me say these is the most awesome sweetest people I've met in the food industry in a while. You would think this being a gas station it's nasty food greasy this place is absolutely the opposite. They cook your food to order. It's fresh hot and delicious me and my daughter tried it last week for the first time. The hot wings were amazing. They were crunchy coated and fresh yesterday we went back because we wanted to try the rice bowl. I got the chicken and steak rice bowl. It was amazing. It was fresh well season. It was amazing. I will definitely be back for that rice bowl. read more

Smelly gas station vape shop. Low sanitation grade. Gyro tasted like hamburger meat. Falafel was burnt and inedible. The worst part was that I paid with my phone and shortly thereafter, my phone blew up for about thirty minutes straight with scam calls. Buyer beware. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover, excellent small town grill, good sandwiches and friendly service, give them a try if you are in the area.

This place may not look like much, but the food is AMAZING. I grew up in the Monroe area and always come back here when I'm back in town. I can't resist the lamb over rice! I bring it to work with me and I've convinced multiple people to go get some based on the smell alone. I tried the Philly on my most recent visit because I was recommended to try it, and it didn't disappoint either! Don't judge a book by it's cover; give Habibi's a try!! read more

Everything we've had has been delicious... my husband and I especially love the lamb rice plate, the cheesesteak, and the chopped cheese. Fries are delicious, try them as cheese fries but add their "white sauce" too (the sauce that is on the rice plate). So good!!! read more

We were a bit skeptical ordering from here, but WOW....their food was amazing! Better than some halal places we've been to! The food had a lot of delicious flavor! Fresh vegetables as well and great white sauce! Definitely worth a try! read more

I got the lamb and rice. It was delicious. The portion size was huge. The rice was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back.

Gas station, not much to look at but door was great. Lamb over rice was great, fries and wings also really good. It is halal, going to go back for more. read more

Food was delicious I didn't even get to take a picture of it. Service was quick only waited approximately 10mins. I got the rice platter with lamb. It comes with rice, lamb, white sauce , and salad. Honestly a plate can be shared by two people who don't eat too much and want space for dessert. read more

this unassuming gas station is home to culinary treasures you won't want to miss. From freshly cooked lamb over rice to mouthwatering chopped cheeses, cakes, wings, and more, they've got it all covered. The food here is beyond amazing, and the variety they offer is truly impressive. The service was great, always nice to support local. The only downside? I don't live close enough to make this a daily stop! But mark my words, I will be back. read more

Good, except forgot our hamburger. Rice and wings were tasty. I would order from them again.

Saw some photos and reviews online and the food looked good. So, my Husband and I decided to give it a try. The staff was very nice and helpful. Showed us a menu and cooked everything fresh to order. The Philly was good but a little on the spicy side and it could have been thicker. The wings were great as were the fries. In our travels and experience, we find that it's the stores that don't look like much on the outside that give you the best food Overall, a good decision and we will return read more

Best gas station food EVER! Everytime Simeon mentions this place, everybody at work goes nuts! It truly is delicious.
