Finally!! The Monterey Peninsula area has a LEGIT Kebab spot. It's sad English Ales shut down at this location, but it's awesome it was replaced by somthing new and needed in the area. Comming from the D.C. area where authentic kebab shops are very common, it's so exciting to have this here. We stoped by for a quick dinner before my daughters music recital. For 50 dollars, we got 4 kebabs, a few in if rice, salad, picked, veggies, hummus and baba gagnooush. Every thing is clearly made from scratch. I felt like I was eating some ins food in their kitchen. The whole family loved it and we will def be back! I think it's important for people to know what type of resistant this is. It's a Kebab shop, not a Greek gyro joint. Get the kebabs and everything they make fresh in house and you won't be disappointed. Some of the best rice I have ever had too I should add lol! read more

My friend and I got there not long after it opened on a Monday about a week ago, so we were the only customers in there. Needless to say the service was good . Waitress was nice and friendly, and attentive. (I think she said her name was Rebecca when I asked her). We were starving so couldn't wait for the food to be on the table. My friend got the schwarma chicken wrap, she said it was tasty but very loose and the whole thing was falling apart. She could not pick it up. I got the chicken kabob plate. Came with the one kabob, rice, salad, hummus and pita bread. The chicken was good. And I ended up using the pita and making a small wrap with the hummus, chicken and rice. The rice was ok, the salad, was ok but dice up so small and kind of wet. One thing that kind of turned me off was the place looked a little dirty, and unkept, (for only being open for 3 months is what the waitress told us,) especially how dirty the doors to the bathroom were inside and out, and just over all did not give me the clean vibe. I will give it a second try, as we were so hungry I felt we would have liked and eatin anything. The best tasting thing on my plate was the hummus. Next time I will try something else. But, we'll give it a second chance. read more

I'm sorry to say this because I was excited for this place to open but it was TERRIBLE. Couple of nights ago we picked up food to take home. First strike was the gyro meat is pre formed strips with fake grill marks that they just warm up. Second strike was the chicken and beef shawarma was old and completely dry and hard. Third strike was the tzatziki sauce was spoiled!! Gross! Don't waste your money here, we have much better options in town read more

So happy to see a new place in Marina where the brewery used to be. Came around 330 for a late lunch & was immediately greeted. Service was fast. We each ordered a shawarma wrap both "crispy" but when we got it, only one side was "crispy" I was expecting something like a chimichanga I guess. Great flavors on both wraps. 1 beef/lamb & 1 flaffel. We ordered some flaffels to go. Definitely home made w/great flavor. Will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

First try at this new restaurant and really wanted to like it. The server was attentive and friendly, but everything we tasted was bland or just not tasty. Prices are a bit high at around $25 a plate. Lentil soup was watery and mostly tasted like cilantro since that was fresh on top. The hummus was my least favorite thing on the plate. It tasted weird. The rice was the best thing on the plate. I found the meats, chicken and beef to be dry and overdone. Had to add a lot of sauce to it. Pita was also a bit bland. I don't know if they are just not salting the food right or maybe it was an off day. It's just didn't mesh with my tastes. I wouldn't return. I'm not sure how all these high star reviews found their way here. Maybe they stopped at the dispensary around the corner before eating here. read more

I was excited to try this place. Went on a Saturday afternoon, place was empty. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive. Ordered hummus, which doesn't come with any pita and was lacking in flavor. Ordered pita, 1 piece of pita for $2. Ordered the Mediterranean salad, which was described as cucumber, tomato, herbs, crispy pita chips $13. What came out was a small bowl of chopped tomatoes, spices and peppers. I thought it was part of the hummus order and the salad would come with the meal. Ordered the beef and lamb wrap with a side of Tzatziki sauce ($2) and pickles ($4). The wrap was decent, the Tzatziki came out in a tiny ramekin, the pickles in a tiny dish. When it came time to pay the bill I asked if the dish they brought out as the Mediterranean salad was a mistake as it wasn't as described nor did it look like it was worth $13. The server went back to the kitchen a few times and told us the chef said the description was a mistake. The server offered to charge us for something that was less expensive and went back to the kitchen again. The server said sorry, there is nothing we can do about the price. How is a tiny dish of tomatoes almost the same price as the wrap? I will never come to this place again. Mediocre food, ridiculous prices for their sides and clearly don't care about their customers. read more

This is the best Mediterranean place I've eaten at in a long time! The falafal was crispy yet substantial and the sauces were amazing, obviously made from scratch. read more

The good! - friendly service - huge menu selection - generous wrap filling, delicious authentic seasoning - beautiful job converting the bar Caveats: - the Baba Ghanouj is a large portion but you only get 1/2 naan, when we asked for an extra naan they brought 1 pita and charged $1.99 - Be prepared: $5.00 for soft drinks and 3% charge for using a credit card read more

Habibi’s Kabab - Baba Ghanouj is delicious but need to give 1 more free pita or naan refill - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

Delicious Halal, Mediterranean food. We ordered the grilled whole tilapia, kebabs, and gyro meals, and they tasted homemade with large portions for our family. Their baklava was also exceptional with the thickest pistachio layer I've ever had of a baklava. The best baklava I've ever had, and there's no turning back from this version. We ordered food to go so we weren't able to eat in. They were so grateful for all of our orders towards the end of the day that they gave us so many free pita bread. So nice to have as our new neighborhood kabab place. read more

The value proposition is unmatched in the area. Huge wrap filled with meat for $15-16, tasty as well. Very quick service. I recommend read more

Habibi’s Kabab - Dolmas and lamb & beef wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

After seeing the good reviews we were excited to try this place! We ordered take out, hummus, beef kebab wrap, chicken shawarma, and beef and lamb shawarma wrap. The hummus was the only good thing! Our food was cold and took 30 min to be ready, meat was super dry, old, and lacked salt, my wrap was so soggy it ripped in half and everything fell out. We wanted to like this place but were left disappointed and hesitant to give them another chance. read more

In the old English Ales - really tasty food! Owned by a local family and it sounds like they have great plans for the place! Pics of food in comments! Highly recommend the lamb wrap! Delicious! They were great with our son's dairy allergy too! https://www.instagram.com/habibis_kabab?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== read more

Habibi Kebab is one of those hidden gems you want to keep a secret but just can't stop talking about. This little hole in the wall is serving up some of the best food I've had in a long time. I ordered the chicken shawarma, za'atar fries, and a side of hummus -- and honestly everything was perfect. The hummus had just the right amount of tahini and olive oil -- it was smooth, rich, and fresh. You could tell it was made with care. The za'atar fries were something totally unique. I've never had fries like that before and honestly they were on point. A different experience for sure, but in the best way possible. The shawarma was absolutely fire. And let me tell you -- this thing was HUGE. I'm talking the size of a Chipotle burrito. Literally the biggest shawarma I've ever had in my life. The best part? There are no fillers. It's just pure meat and goodness. The chicken is clearly high quality, the crunch is spot on, and every bite is packed with flavor. They do not cut corners here. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go. Habibi Kebab is the real deal and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I visited this place for the first time yesterday, and it was okay. Service was good, but most of the food I had was mid--there was also a dance performance which was nice. Overall, I wouldn't be back. read more

I must say Habibis Kabab is now my favorite restaurant in Marina. The service was excellent and the restaurant is very clean. I had to take my food order to go and the flavor of everything was excellent. Make sure to ask for extra chili sauce with your order if you like spice! I'm not sure what the fuss is with some of these comments and the complaining about prices. Given the type of food and wide variety they have to offer, their prices are excellent. Soft drinks also comes with a free refill, I'll be back Habibi!! read more

Habibi’s Kabab - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

Food was good and tasty. Service was excellent and friendly. Will be back next time we are in town.

I really really wanted to love this place being that I am from the Fremont ca area. This is what I have been waiting for. The food is ok, I think that they just need to work out some kinks . I was really looking forward to some authentic bread, but that didn't happen. also, I got the beef and lamb plate it was seasoned with the same seasoning. if you really didn't know the difference between beef and lamb, we wouldn't know which one you were eating. I would really like to see some chickpea potato and mint salad on their menu. I think that would be amazing. overall, I think this place is good. they are new so they just to work out some of the kinks. I will definitely be returning.. read more

Went by for lunch and enjoyed a huge combo plate of Chicken and Beef Shawarma. It came with Basmati rice, salad and hummus. The portions were very large and we ended up taking half of our lunch home and enjoying the rest for dinner. The restaurant is a little hard to find the first time around, as it is in a small strip mall, so really look for the address sign on the left as you drive up Reindollar from Del Monte Ave. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant is clean and bright, the service excellent the music Arabic, and the food was typically Middle Eastern and very tasty. We will return for sure. read more

The food and service were delicious. I had the Shrimp kabob plate and was very pleased. My family with me ordered falafels and Chicken shawarma and all was really good. The hummus is the most creamy and satisfying I've ever tasted. Everything is so fresh. I have to mention we had the walnut baklava, chefs kiss . read more

I hate doing this to local business but here we go. Service was good. We came during a belly dancing night which was nice. The food however wasn't great. I got chicken shawarma that was dry and the salad wasn't good. The portion on the zaatar fries was sad for the price. Pretty expensive for mediocre food. read more

New restaurant in the old English Ales location. Great service and good quality fresh food. We had 3 items that were all good. The combo wrap was the best. Dolmas were good also. Pete n Dawn read more

The shawarma fries smelled like absolute heaven! So flavorful and I think there was even more meat than fries! This is my second time here and it was all still really good. Sorry, no picture as I absolutely devoured the fries. Glad we have this spot in Marina. read more

We had the good fortune of stumbling upon Habibi's Kabob today. We ordered a family platter with lamb, beef, chicken, salad, pickled vegetables, grilled tomatoes, hummus, rice, and lovely little sides. Oh my gosh- everything was so homemade and made with love. The pistachio and walnut baklava were just the perfect balance of flaky and sweet - but not syrupy or soggy. Super fresh and highly addictive. The flavors reminded me of my grandfather's cooking. The spicing was delicate and perfect. Attention to detail. We had planned to have leftovers for tomorrow, but it was too good. Not much left. We are so glad that May and her family just opened this restaurant and will be back very soon! read more

Unfortunately this was my first and last time trying this new restaurant. I asked the waitress if their gyros were on a spit. She said yes. I ordered a gyros with sauce on the side. What I got was 4 very thin pieces of meat that was browned in a fry pan. It was the same kind of meat you'd get in a "gyros kit" in the frozen section of a grocery store. It was just under $20 for a pita with lettuce, tomato and 4 very thin slices of meat. I can not recommend this new restaurant! It was gross! I did take a picture and wish I could post it here. read more

The food here is SO GOOD! The meat is tender, flavorful, and the portions generous. The service is prompt and warm. Highly recommend the Mezza plate and the baklava! read more

Got a chicken shawarma wrap and it was so good! It came with two sauces. I will definitely be coming back.

Two stars for the service and how quick pick up was. Very over priced and the food was terrible. We love Dametra's and thought we would give this place a try. Unfortunately we will not be back and will go back to Dametra's where it's a fraction of the price and tastes so much better. read more

Great food! Baclava is made fresh in house and you can taste the difference. Absolutely will be back!
