Miami's Shining Gem: The Captivating Dance of Flavor, Joy, and Hospitality at Habibi!

In the electric energy and colorful cultural mosaic of Miami, if you're searching for a sanctuary that invites you to another world—where sincerity and flavor dance in every corner—then the right address is undoubtedly Habibi Restaurant! This isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an unforgettable realm of experiences that engages all the senses, nourishes the soul, and makes every visitor feel truly like "Habibi" (Beloved).

The Moment You Step Through the Door: A Warm Embrace At the entrance, the tropical Miami breeze blends with intoxicating aromas of spices and grills. But what’s truly captivating is the staff’s unique, heartfelt smiles and the sparkle in their eyes. Their "Welcome!" feels so genuine, it’s as if you’ve arrived at the home of a long-lost friend. The servers aren’t just order-takers; they’re storytellers, ambassadors of the food’s soul. Their sincere recommendations about the menu, their anecdotes about the culture behind each dish—make the meal infinitely more enjoyable. Here, hospitality feels less like a learned behavior and more like an art born from the heart.

A Feast for the Eyes: The Enchanting Atmosphere The interior is a perfect fusion of modern Miami aesthetics and authentic Middle Eastern touches. Warm colors, elegant lighting, handcrafted motifs, and soft instrumental music transport you to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean or the mystical alleys of Damascus. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, equally ideal for a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends. The energy is joyful but never noisy—a lively symphony of cheerful chatter and laughter.

A Carnival on the Palate: Where Flavor Reigns Supreme And now… the flavor carnival! Habibi’s kitchen marries traditional recipes with respect, the elegance of fresh Miami ingredients, and the chef’s creative genius. Every bite celebrates the balanced harmony of spices, the perfect tenderness of grilled meats, and the explosive freshness of mezes. The hummus is so divine, it’s like tasting a cloud. The grilled köfte (meatballs) or tavuk şiş (chicken skewers) are so juicy and aromatic, perfectly complemented by pomegranate-marinated onion salad. Freshly baked, warm lavash bread becomes pure joy when paired with mezes. And of course, the baklava… honey-drenched, pistachio-studded, with paper-thin layers—so magnificent it’ll make you forget your sweet cravings! The freshness of ingredients shines in every bite, and the presentation is a visual masterpiece.

Hearts Full of Joy: The Peak of Fun and Celebration As the evening unfolds at Habibi, the energy soars even higher. Live music! Perhaps the romantic strains of an oud, or an exhilarating darbuka performance that makes you clap along to the rhythm. Sometimes the floor clears, and the energy peaks with professional dancers—or even guests—showing off spirited moves. This isn’t just entertainment you watch; it’s a celebration that seeps into your spirit and lifts you up. Staff enthusiastically join the fun—keeping the beat, encouraging guests, and radiating warmth. "Eğlence" (fun) finds its true meaning here: freely, sincerely, and with...

The most incredible part about visiting this restaurant was Kaitlyn!  I went to check out the venue a week before hosting my birthday dinner there.  She was so very nice, welcoming, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional.  It has been AGES since I've encountered a true maître d' at a restaurant.  I am huge on service and after having the encounter with her, I was certainly under the impression that everything else would be in alignment with her.   I was very excited for my dinner celebration as the ambiance and decor was extremely gorgeous. I am a true lover of Moroccan cuisine and there was no Tagine on the menu which struck me as odd.  I was optimistic but I had a snack before I went just in case the food turned out not to be authentic.  Two days before the dinner, I realized that I needed to adjust the number of guest from 4 to 3 people.  I called and spoke to Christina who informed me that the restaurant did not allow parties under 4.  I asked her to please clarify what she was saying and she again repeated that the restaurant did not accommodate parties under 4.  There is no indication of that anywhere on their website or social media AND, if you go on their RSVP site, you have the option to even book for 1 person.  They need to make that correction. On the day of, I was able to go to the location and secure the RSVP.  When we arrived we waited at the bar to be seated.  The bartender was absolutely a gem and the drinks were on point. Once seated, the DJ's music was so loud that we had to yell across the table at each other before we decided to just not speak because at no point did the music lower.  There was lots of entertainment/ stimulation so we engaged with that instead of with each other.  It was kind of disappointing because some people had flown in for the evening for dinner and were not able to speak and catch up with each other.  The show starts about 11ish and is very entertaining and engaging.  There are belly dancers, drummers, over the top bottle service presentations, the whole 9!  We ordered the Mezze Prince, Mezze Royale, Shaved Brussels, Broccolini Grillé, Lobster Roll, Tiger Prawns, Lollipop" Côtelettes D'Agneau and Branzino Grillé.  The food and drinks started coming out and the food runners just dropped the item off on the edge of the table and walked away. They didn't say what it was, place the items by seat number or even make sure there was a clear space.  Just drop and go. I literally have had better service at an Applebee's. I was in disbelief that a restaurant of this supposed caliber had that kind of poor service. To top it off, the food was horrible!  The only person who had a decent item was the lamb chops (Lollipops). both Mezze's- nasty and bland, lobster roll-smelled rancid and expired, prawns- chewy and cooked to over-well, branzino -dry. We couldn't even take it up with the server because she had taken so long to come back that everyone was just ready to take the check and go.  I was so glad I had a snack before I went otherwise, I would have been very HANGRY. Overall, if you're looking for a place to have drinks and lounge and you're into the eclec-techno party scene, this is the spot.  Get cute, make sure there is camera storage, hell, even bring your dollar bills to tip the dancers.  However, this is not the place for a nice, upscale...

I had a reservation for 10:30 to celebrate two of my cousins' birthday while visiting from out of town. I had already notified staff that we were on the way. We were about 10 minutes late, so I checked in before everyone else, while the car was getting parked. The bouncer at the front gave me no issues. However, he treated my cousins poorly, telling them that they don't accept walk-ins. He would not allow them to come in until I came outside and said those are my people. Then it took 45 minutes from the time of our arrival to get seated, I checked with the front desk at least 3 times and they kept telling me they would notify me when a table was ready. And although we were 10 minutes late and waiting for a table, the hostess said she could give us about 1 hour and 20 minutes but not the full 2 hours. Eventually were seated outside and ignored for another 20 minutes. Also as we were seated at this table outside, there was some young woman who kept opening the sliding door to the deck to record herself "dancing", right behind us/on the back of our chairs. She also would not move after I said "excuse me" several times; the hostess watched this interaction and did nothing.

After waiting for someone to acknowlegde us, one of my cousins and I went back to the front to request to cancel the reservation. I also wanted to make sure that I would not be charged any of their "fees". I also asked to speak to a manager, and a young man ask me about our night. I explained to him how we were ignored and waited too long to be seated. He then asked me what time I had arrived, I said it was 10 minutes after the reservation time and I had called ahead to let them know this. He apologized and offered drinks to my cousins, the birthday girls, as consolation. We declined and asked to leave.

While other reviews made note of the dress code and rudeness/service, I did not think it would be this bad. I can't say for sure, but it very much felt like we were being discriminated against. Or maybe it was because we didn't fit their look, but either way this was completely unacceptable. The only pleasant interaction with one of the bartenders. While we are ignored by the gentleman/bartender in front of us, one bartender came from the end bar to make sure that we were taken care of. This is the only pleasant remark that I have.

The gentleman who parked our car for us let us know when we came back to the lot that they're known to treat people horribly. I guess they choose who they want to service. I'm absolutely disgusted and beyond upset by this experience. My cousins were visibly upset and I hate that this is how our night ended for...
