Habibi In Mediterranean Grill - Elk Grove — Restaurant in Elk Grove Township

I saw that this place generally had good reviews and we got a Clipped Coupon(like Groupon). We called and placed the order and were told they aren’t accepting those coupons. What?! I paid for the coupon. The person on the phone was told to say that by the owner.

I explained that the coupon was paid for. She said it was a mistake and they stopped using that service weeks ago. I explained that I bought it a month or so ago. Then she put me back on hold and came back to say the coupon was expired. I told her I can show it saying it was valid until Jan.

Finally she agreed to accept the coupon this one time as a “courtesy”. I should have known after this exchange what was going to happen.

We ordered 2 chicken and one Schwarma platters. The food was disgusting. We didn’t even finish it. It was so over seasoned with cumin. The rice was under seasoned and had no flavors. I really can’t find anything to compliment the food on except the pitas. They were actually good. All 5 of us agreed with the quality of the food. I will never...

Amazing food and great ambiance! Very friendly and welcoming staff. We showed up and it was almost closing time,no problem! They have the energy and welcoming like we were first customers of the day! They love what they are doing. We ordered the Mixed Platter, let me tell you this you will not know what I’m talking about until you have got to try it yourself. Tenderness, tenderness, tenderness, you guess the rest! I can tell the quality of the meat they serve is really high! The food was cooked perfectly. Hummus, seasoning was great. YOU MUST try their Fattoush( Fattoush is basically a Mediterranean fried bread salad that typically includes lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes and fried pieces of pita bread. You'll also typically see green peppers, green onions and parsley.) the legend lives up to the hype! Their menu has a lot more. I haven’t tried, I can’t wait to go back again! Will update this review when I come...

We had lunch today with my wife, and we LOVED IT!!! We weren't sure at first because trying new restaurants could be tricky, but when we got there, we immediately knew it was worth it. The service is great. We had a warm welcome from the beginning. We ordered the mix consistent of three meats plus rice and a delicious salad. I can't emphasize enough about how tasty everything was. The salad had a touch of mint, which made it taste so fresh, the meat was of evident good quality and perfectly seasoned. My wife is a chef, so she's very picky about eating outside, we like the adventure of trying, and I believe we hit jackpot here! On top of everything, we were given a free taste of some sweets they have there, we ended up buying 2 boxes because they were sooooooo good!!! Definitely a MUST try if you are in the area, and if you are not in the area, GO THERE! support these...
