I most recently tried their peppermint mocha and lavender latte, both of which I got iced. They were delicious!! I'm a really big fan of minty chocolatey drinks and I thought the peppermint mocha was done really well for an iced version. The lavender latte was actually a pleasant surprise for me! I wasn't expecting to like it so much and the lavender and coffee were really balanced. The chicken gyro was good as well! It came with a sauce and was packed with veggies, which I appreciate. I do wish they had cucumbers in their gyros too though. Overall great experience :)

Crazy ambitious menu with pizza, burgers, wings, kabobs, wraps and many Mid East favs like falafels, dolmas, gyro and babaghanoush. I only tried a couple of items, so I do need to try a few more things eventually. Order at the counter and food will get brought out. Seems like a place popular for take-out/deliveries. On a casual lunch I was impressed by the diversity in the place, as it is downtown Hayward. Young, old and cultural garb from several cultures spotted. Service at the register was friendly, dude gave off ownership vibes. Falafel Wrap ($11/4*) Very fresh and satsifying wrap. Big, soft and puffy pita bread is filled to the brim with fresh salad-like veggies. Chopped lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of pickled items. Stuffed also with a decent amount of fat disk of falafel and a good dousing of tahini sauce. I loved the bites for the most part as I was full without feeling weighed down for the lunch hours. The falafels had good flavor but just didn't seem as crisp as I usually prefer, didn't seem fresh out of the fryer, which the places that are known for this definitely do. I especially liked the bites more when a pickled veggie entered the bite, so I should have ordered extra...next time. Beef Kabobs ($25/4*) Got this for take-out and it was still good hours later after a reheat. Beef is in small cubes and cooked pretty well done. A bit dry but at least it was flavorful. Definitely taste more Afghan in spicing/marinade, pretty bold with lots of garlic and herbs. De Afghanan out here in the east bay is the gold standard for these types of kabobs and those are cut into bigger chunks and are juicier by a lot. Kabob plates comes with a good amount of seasoned basmati rice, a pita bread, a small green salad and a small scoop of hummus. Even tho $25 seems a bit pricey, there is enough food to justify the price. I was able to make 1.5 meals out of it with a good dinner and a small work lunch. I actually want to try a pizza here and definitely a lamb kabob. I hang out in this downtown area often, so great having another casual option in my back pocket. Yeah Buddy!!

We had borani kaddu - butternut squash with yogurt and garlic sauce. This was a good alternative to the common borani banjan. the texture was perfect, not overly cooked, went well with the warm bread. perfect for vegetarians. Our vegetarian companion had borani banjan - smoked, grilled eggplants in the tomato yogurt sauce similar to the appetizer we had. But served with rice and salad and green chick pea side provided enough serving. it was delicious - they have an option to make it vegan as well. Now quabili palaw was the star! massive size of lamb shank, well seasoned, well cooked, perfectly seasoned. The rice was fantastic with enough sweet carrots and raisins. Will be back just for this! Shami kabob came with two kababs (picture only one as our little one already sneaked one!). Kababs were juicy, perfectly spiced, with enough rice and salad. Between quabili palaw and shami kabob was enough for two adults and hungry child... Khoshmazeh!

The plate comes with lamb and beef gyro meat, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. I also asked for their orange yogurt sauce and hot sauce. My partner loves the orange sauce and says it has an umami flavor. For me it is just okay, but I really enjoy their hot sauce. It is not the usual sambal you get at a lot of Mediterranean spots. It has more of a salsa style taste which sounds a little odd but actually works really well. It has flavor without being too spicy, though I do like my food extra spicy. The rice here is also worth mentioning because it is so flavorful and has that umami taste that makes you want to keep eating it. The owner is always very friendly and welcoming too. The restaurant is right next to Target which makes parking really easy. Highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back and next time I'll probably branch out and try something new.

I'm a die hard Habibi's Birria fan, but the last 3-5 times I have gotten food here, it has been…read moredisappointing. Typically, I order the queso birria taco combo which comes with 3 queso birria tacos, radishes + limes, consome, and a little container of hot sauce. Though I order the exact same thing every time, it has been inconsistent almost every time - recently. The tortillas aren't fully drenched in the consome anymore. Sometimes the cheese is extra cheesy or extremely crispy, there has been less filling this time around. The hot sauce WAS my favorite. I would buy the big containers of hot sauce, but have since stopped. It's usually a creamy orange with a nice spicy kick that still has good flavor, but it has tasted different every single time for the last 5 visits. Sometimes it's bright red and is just pure spiciness with no flavor, today it was separating between the oil and the contents; I tried mixing it together, but it acted more like a chili oil. This has deterred me from visiting Habibi's more often, I miss the gas station, that never failed me. Also, this is not about service or staff, just me not being satisfied with the food lately.

It's located inside a shopping complex, so parking is usually pretty easy, which is always a plus. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Everything can be customized to your preference. You can build your own bowl, wrap, or salad, and they offer a great variety of proteins including vegetarian options! My usual order is the pomegranate chicken with tumeric rice bowl, lots of toppings including extra beets and pickles :) There are so many options when it comes to toppings and veggies so you can truly make your dish your own! I also very much appreciate that everything is clearly labeled for dietary restrictions (including gluten free and dairy free)! They offer an optional lentil soup to start with. It's warm, delicious and a great way to start your meal. The staff here is always so kind and welcoming. They are happy to make recommendations or explain ingredients, and they really go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your meal. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. Every time we come here, we leave full, happy, and with leftovers for tomorrow! We will keep coming back!
