Habibi Express Aruba — Restaurant in Oranjestad (city)

This is a very popular spot with the locals. Inexpensive and different for locals who haven’t had opportunity to enjoy middle eastern cuisine. However, if you dined at the authentic middle eastern restaurant, one will notice that, for example, chicken shawarma could use a bit more lemon in a marinade to eliminate the chicken taste as well as some other spices, like red pepper to spice things up. It could be that it just didn’t marinate long enough. Hummus was more of a blended garbanzo beans with olive oil. There was a definite omission of tahini that gives it such a smooth and rich texture.

Went to try something new, Habibi is a definite rival of the Aruban trucks! I got the chicken shwarma, and it had a great taste. Somehow i kept getting a licorice taste, don't know if that's how it's supposed to taste but it was interesting. Excited to try the lamb next. Fries were great, LOVED their garlic sauce! Price is around the same if you would get a platter at other trucks, except you also get a drink at that price. Highly recommend, great spot. Order and go. Definitely great...

This place is everything it's cracked up to be and more! Their toasted sandwiches and wraps are FANTASTIC. They're warm and fresh with veggies and creamy with their garlic sauce. Their falafel is amazing and their lamb shawarma? Dreamy. Some of the best lamb shawarma I've ever had in my life!! They make it perfectly seasoned where the flavour of the spices doesn't overwhelm the natural flavour of the lamb and it's just so tenderrr. 11/10 would recommend anyone...
