Yalla Habibi

such a hidden gem!!! the interior is nice, and the service is great as well. the middle eastern music gives the restaurant a nice and lovely vibe

Satisfying home cooked Lebanese cooking! I’ve tried a lot of places so I can happily say this place is now one of my favorites. No frills, no upscale pretentious vibes, just good ol’ delicious food served quickly. Looks like it was ran by 2 guys, one cooking and one taking orders. It’s a smaller joint that has capacity for maybe up to 18 diners. Intimate setting, simple set up but ridiculously delicious and genuine food. Their lentil soup is something I dream about occasionally. I ordered the chicken tawook bowl since I wasn’t that hungry and it HIT THE SPOT. Hummus was spot on, too. I’m excited for when I go downtown again so I can indulge and try something else on the menu. Everything I got I thoroughly enjoyed. Even the tea! If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious and flavorful meal, make sure you stop by here. I’m so happy they’re in my city! NOTE: if you like spice, make sure to ask for their signature spicy sauce on the side. You’re welcome

Fresh delicious food. Courteous staff. Up the street from Balboa theater. Perfect for an after show late night meal. Will definitely be back. *** they were nice enough to let me use the staff bathroom but it should be noted that there is no public restroom.

How often do you get an absolutely delicious meal with great service and an amazing atmosphere?? I loved every bite of my beef kebab plate and Julian was an absolute rockstar! He offered me tea and checked on me plenty to ensure I was having a lovely experience. Would highly recommend for anyone craving not just delicious Lebanese but 10/10 food in general. Hummus was indeed amazing as well. Got to try the sauces as well, and the spicy one is a MUST. Will definitely be coming back for more meals, thank you!
