WHAT! Simply the best late night food in Houston. Better than all the rest. Better than anyone. Even Ike Turner. And tell Ike that if he wants late night food, he can't beat Habibi. And he shouldn't be beating anyone for that matter. Even if that sort of ugly violence is in his DNA. Or his TINA. What to get: Chicken Karahi, Chicken Boti, and play pool and table football (foozball) while you eat so that you throw up curry all over yourself, especially if you're wearing white What not to get: Puke stains on your outfit But you just s...: Shut up If you bring all your girls here, including your side b****es, then it's Cafe Harembibi. I'm very proud of this discovery in the middle of nowhere, close to Hillcroft and the Sub-continental South Asian communities. In my experience most continents are sub-continents. That's why Barbie makes so much money. When Barbie wears her sexy pink tops here and guys say "which brand is that?" while pointing at her boobs as if that's not the point of the point, she says "Ha, Bebe." I looked up places that had Boti and Karahi and this came up, with almost no reviews. We went here on a whim, which is weird because I thought we went in a car, and I have no idea what a whim is, or whose whim we borrowed because neither of us owns one. But it worked out amazingly. This is Pakistani food at its very best. It really Pak's a punch. Ha. Ha. Incomparable value and taste. Oily delicious karahi and wonderful chicken booty. I mean Boti (apparently predictive text is horny). When Misses Rexha, Buell, and Neuwirth give up their day jobs to become stand up comics, they perform here at Cafe HaBebe. Everything they serve is delicious and the prices are bargain-basement. They also have the most wonderful owner, and really friendly service and very cheap pool and table football. We like that no matter what meal we get, no matter what drinks we get, whether it should add up to $20 or $25 or $30, we always go up to pay and he always says "twenty dollars." I get the feeling if I asked to buy the entire store and the pool table too, he'd say "twenty dollars." It's become an in-joke. Sort of like Barbie's less-endowed clients are in-jokes. For about 30 seconds and $300. If Barbie is here slipping off her shoes and turning on the other diners (and believe me, she does, and she does), then it's Cafe Hateaseme. It gets better. It gets so much better. Because if you're looking for Houston food at midnight or 1am, now you finally have a delicious destination right off I-69 (known in Houston as 59) because this place is open till 12 or 1 or 2 every single night of the week (they don't seem to know their closing time, it varies depending on how busy it is, but we've never found them closed anytime before 2am). It's an absolute godsend for people who want late night delicious, authentic, Indo-Pak food. It's extremely cheap as well. Not exactly healthy but then neither is your relationship with your father. When Barbie pretends she's going home with me after curry, and then leaves with some other big dude, you could say she Cafe Haleadsme on. It should also be noted that the prices for playing the awesome, fun games is basically nothing. It's essentially free. You can't get much better than that. I mean nothing costs only $0.25 or $0.50 anymore - but these games do. And you'll get a lot of joy out of them like we do. If you're very lucky you might even get to watch Barbie playing them. If not, just catch her movies on pay per view. And if they charged $100 per curry, they'd he Cafe Hagreedy. Or if they were zero dollars, it'd be Cafe Hafreebie. If they sold marijuana they'd be Cafe Haweedy. And when I take Barbie here, it's Cafe High-heeli. I was gonna make another bad joke but that'd make this review even more Cafe Hacheesy.

I did have some concerns with a few dishes but it was hard to tell if it was a lot of spice or sesame, which can also trigger a light reaction. I'd be a bit careful but overall, I had a good meal. Time-to-Food: ~12 minutes We came for early dinner around 4:30PM and it was not that busy, though it got busier later in the evening. The restaurant layout is a mix of booths and open tables, pretty suitable for large parties. I will preface by saying that I am not at all familiar with Indian cuisine. I rarely eat it because I grew up thinking that Indian food had a lot of nuts. Only partially true (kind of a gamble on things). I ordered the Royal South Indian Thali and a Masala Chai. First, everyone was served a spicy soup-like dish that was a great start to the meal. The Royal South Indian Thali was massive. I got some slightly different sides than my friend that ordered the same, perhaps because of the nut allergy. The curries/sambar were great with the rice and roti and the vegetables were delicious. I thought that the Halwa was my favorite dessert. The yogurt rice was more of an acquired taste (I was advised to mix it with the pickled spices, which I am not usually a fan of), as was the salted lassi. Others enjoyed them more than I did, but I was delighted to finish my meal with the masala chai. There is a small upcharge for paying with a credit card. Overall, pretty solid vegetarian cuisine and I'd definitely come back for some authentic food. One of my friends has been going here for over 10 years, so it definitely came recommended!

My mom is fond of dosas so we took her here while in Houston. Everything on the menu is vegetarian…read moreand they have a lengthy menu of dosas, their namesake idlis, and other carby, fried delights like samosas, uttapam, and vada doughnuts. My family is Burmese, and our cuisine shares a lot in common. Still, there were no descriptions on the menu so I needed help from the staff getting descriptions of each item. Fortunately we were the only customers there on the Thursday morning we visited the the staff was plenty helpful, patiently explaining each item to us. We got uttapam, idlis, vada doughnuts, and different kinds of dosa. Everything tasted fresh but exceedingly plain. I found a lot of items lacking depth of flavor and required a healthy dousing of the tamarind sauce some of the dishes came with. Everything started to taste the same and we would've left a lot of food untouched were it not for the fact that we hate to waste food. So we reluctantly ate it all. Reading the reviews now I see this is a commonly held opinion of the food here, which is unfortunate as it was the only dosa place I could find in Houston that was actually open for breakfast, which is when many people eat dosas.

When we dropped by there was no one at the front, so we did have to knock on the kitchen door. Someone immediately came out to help us then. We ordered the dahi puri and the sev puri-both were delicious with generous portions. The samosas were also fresh, crispy and just the right amount of spicy. The mango lassi was also very refreshing and fresh. However, the malai kofta I ordered did not taste like malai kofta and instead was pretty salty and tasted more like chana masala. They were very nice however offered a replacement or refund. A nice Chaat Place overall for a quick bite.

It's good food, and it's a clean place. But I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The flavors are delicious, the portions are satisfying, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. The Pani Puri is definitely a must-try -- the perfect balance of flavors, freshness, and tanginess makes it stand out and keeps me coming back for more. The Aloo Tikki is comforting and flavorful, while the Amritsari Kulcha is packed with taste and has that satisfying North Indian touch. As a vegetarian, I truly appreciate having a place where I can explore so many flavorful options. The consistency in taste and quality is what keeps me returning. Highly recommend trying these dishes if you're looking for a delicious and authentic Indian street-food experience!

We went right at noon expecting that, for being lunch time , it was going to be packed, but fortunately it wasnt; the ambiance was mellow and the music just perfect. Service was OUTSTANDING! Our server, Vino, was wonderful, knowledgeable, great recommending according to our cravings and spicy levels. So sweet and polite. We ordered 4 different dished and ALL OF THEM were incredibly flavorful, tender, and portions were very generous. First we ordered Chicken 65 as an appetizer... very very delicious! The tenderness of the chicken and the spices of the marinade were a BOMB ! Rather spicy if you dont have a medium tolerance level. We got also the butter chicken with rice; very flavorful and the sauce had a perfect thickness. Not spicy at all and the chicken was BUTTER tenderrrrr The spicy chicken byriani was THE BEST! Indian style byriani i have ever tried! The cardamom was so fragrant, the chicken melt in your mouth and the rice so fluffy! DEFINITELY a must try. Ultimately we tried the tikka grilled chicken ... be ready for an explosion of flavors! Gingery, limey, with a hint of charcoal. Super juicy and fork tender!! Incredible! Overall this is a 5 out of 5!! Must go

Our order included potato samosas (BOGO), the chicken 65 (BOGO), goat curry, palak paneer, and garlic naan. Samosas and the chicken 65 were both delicious; dip both in that mint sauce with the samosas to kick up the flavor. Be careful as the chicken 65 (mini fried chicken bites) have spiciness to it with a good amount of chili powder and pepper kicked in. The goat curry was alright, don't know if I would order it again as the grease was overwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the palak paneer, found it too runny and it was leaking when it was delivered to us. Also the garlic naan was a bit hard in the middle; maybe it's due to the packaging? Wouldn't mind ordering here again but we'll definitely do some different items. Hopefully the samosas and chicken 65 are still on the BOGO status cause we'll definitely take those again.
