Habibi Grill Halal Shawarma & Falafel

I got two of their a la carte chicken breast skewers and they were delicious. Seasoned perfectly and a good amount of it. The garlic sauce is delicious and a great place to get your protein. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.

The service i recieved was amazing. My food was out of the kitchen within a few minutes. The food was delicious a definite 10/10 and was just outright amazing. I would definitely recommend others to come here to eat and enjoy authentic Mediterranean food.

Great service, was fast, food was very tasty, and the man serving us Mohammed even gave us a drink on the house!

I came here with a friend today and he agreed with everything that I’m about to say. It’s very nice inside, clean and what not. I ordered the number 1 (shawarma plate) with chicken and meat and sides of hummus and eggplant . It looked really good but the flavor was a little bland. I would give it like a 6.5/10. There wasn’t a lot of meat and chicken and paying around $19 for a plate it just didn’t seem worth it. I would definitely give the place a try if you’re in the area but I have had better and at a better price

I really want to like this place, the owners are so nice. However, I simply cannot praise the food. It's always been so dry and tasteless compared to other Mediterranean food in the area. I came here several times to really give it a chance but I cannot say I will be back, simply for the quality of the food for the price.

Great service Great food and lots of options Halal Friendly staff

A nice choice of middle eastern sandwiches and plates. My wife had the Shawerma Beef and I had the Falafel plate. Both came with a choice of two side dishes. We both chose a salad and Hummas. The waitress was pleasant and very helpful. The meals were moderately priced. We will definitely go back. The restaurant is located in the La Mirada shopping center on Rosecrans, and La Mirada Blvd, next to Albertsons

One of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Very attentive, welcoming staff. Plenty of parking available. The food was very fresh with just the right amount of spice and flavor. The falafel plate was very filling. Would order again! The hummus was a 10/10 would recommened! Recommend if you are picking up lunch/dinner or casually dining in. If you are looking for Mediterranean cuisine, this place is where it’s at.

Food was super delicious, food is fresh as can be they start cooking as soon as they finish taking your order. Mohammad was super cool great customer service, hooked me and my brother up with 2 free drinks on the house for first time customers! Would def recommend if you're in or outside of the area

One of the most balanced and well-seasoned shawarma / kafta restaurants around. I had the mixed chicken and beef shawarma - very flavorful but not overwhelming. I also got the hummus and tabouleh, which they said they make to order instead of making it in advance and letting it sit. Clean and tidy space - huge plus. The family that owns the place are welcoming and patient. They took the time to explain the dishes we were thinking about. They gave us a plate of stuffed date leaves (highly recommend!) and also offered to give us baklava. Note: the baklava has just the right amount of sweetness, unlike most that I have tried in the past. Mohammad was incredibly hospitable, chatting up with me and my family. Overall great experience and would love to return soon.

This place is so good! Just be prepared when you order your food there is going to be a wait because they make everything, and I mean everything fresh! It's very clean, and the gentleman working are very nice men. It's seriously amazing Middle Eastern food outside of Anaheim and the Middle East lol portions are great and service is wonderful 10 out of 10 you should try

The food was fine. But the slowness of the service and poor communication from staff was truly unparalleled. We ordered at around 5:25pm and our show at La Mirada Theater was starting at 6:30 in the same complex. It ended up taking more than 45 min for them to make my daughter's burger and fries. I checked in a few times to let them know we had a time crunch. Then at about 6:10 they told me they made her burger wrong and had to make it again. They handed us the burger at 6:15pm. My daughter had to eat her food while sprinting through the parking lot trying to make it into the theater on time. This is not just a matter of understaffing. The guys had no idea what they were doing. First, we ordered and paid for lentil soups on the computers ($7.99 each) and then there apparently was no soup. No one even told us. 20 min later we ask "um, where is the soup?" And they said "oh. We're out." What?! We paid for it and no one was going to tell us or offer a refund without us asking? I asked for Kibbeh instead of the soup, which they never made. So had them process the refund but I don't see any refund on my card. My friend paid $2 extra for cheese on a falafel burger, but the order came out without cheese. She also ordered fries which never came out but there was no more time to process a refund as we were in a rush. My other friend ordered baba ganoush, pita and rice, which also took 45 min. Pretty sure all those foods are already made. It's not like they were roasting the eggplant specifically for her. It's a scoop from the baba ganoush and a scoop from the rice. Not sure why that took 45 min. All in all, you guys have some work to do. The dining experience was bad and you unintentionally stole money from us on several items because of incompetence. Really unimpressed.

Great food, quality, and friendly staff! All the food is halal. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate and chicken tawook plate. Both tasted homemade! Also had the opportunity to meet the owners and they were very friendly! You can tell they take pride in serving high quality food. Can't wait to try other menu items!

Very nice experience here! The man, whom I'm assuming was the owner, was very friendly and explained dishes to me since I wasn't familiar with some of the words or how to pronounce them. Everything on my plate was delicious and the hummus and fresh pita were so good. The chicken was juicy and everything together was amazing ! Highly recommend checking this place out and supporting them.

My boyfriend and I were craving shawarma after playing pickleball today and we found this place on Google. The food looked super delicious so we decided to make the drive. We were not disappointed! We arrived around probably 5:30pm on a Sunday evening and ordered on the kiosk, and it didn't take long at all for us to get our food - I'd say probably 10-15 minutes. The store was fairly empty. We got the chicken shawarma plate and the chicken shawarma wrap and we were both very satisfied. The baba ganoush I included with one of my sides for the plate was really good as well, and the fries my boyfriend got were also delicious and crispy. Service is also amazing and they checked up on us. The store had a very warm and inviting atmosphere as well, which makes it a nice to place to dine in. This will probably be my go-to place whenever I am craving Middle Eastern food!

When I asked someone who works there for the recommendations for wraps they recommended a chicken tawook wrap. The wrap was flavorful, and satisfying! I liked the sauces that they used inside, and the chicken itself was tender and flavorful. I'm also glad I asked asked for a hot sauce. There is plenty of seating inside, and it was nice and orderly inside. If I'm the area I would go back.

OMG!! Fantastic totally fresh food. Cooked after you order. Remember that quality is worth the wait. All the meat is Halal, never frozen. Loved it. I ordered the Protein salad with Kafta. Yummy. Food is ready quicker if you order online.

This place was delicious!!! The girl helping with the order was welcoming and sweet! The food had the most delicious flavor and tasted home made!

Nice lil mom and pop type place! The owners were there when I went and seemed like very humble people. Overall felt like a rare family owned place. They do practice halal here and pride themselves on it which is awesome. All ingredients tasted very fresh. Ordered: Chicken shawarma plate - large portion, great quality. If you like it extra saucy be sure to order extra sauce. Chicken tawook - great seasoning, not dry at all Parking is very easy right in front of the restaurant. Will be back!

TL;DR: Habibi Grill was a mixed experience with an okay beef shawarma wrap and a tastier chicken platter. 3.5/5 Your Thoughts? 1/2 The beef shawarma wrap at Habibi Grill was just okay, lacking a bit in flavor and overall excitement. The chicken platter ordered by my family was notably tastier, featuring well-seasoned and flavorful chicken that made it a more enjoyable choice. Both meals tasted fresh and home made though, which was appreciated. Expenses: 1/1 Reasonable prices. Location: 1/1 Location was kept clean. Staff was professional and there was plenty of parking available. Able to pay via debit card. Possibility of a Future Visit & Recommendation: .5/1 I'd consider giving Habibi Grill another try to sample more of their offerings at some point.

Habibi Grill is a relatively new spot. Even if there's no one inside, I recommend giving Habibi Grill a try! There are plenty of seats and the space is clean. The staff are friendly and will help you figure out what you want from the menu. The chicken shawarma wrap is a solid choice, especially if you're overwhelmed with options. I also tried the Protein Salad with chicken shawarma. The dressing has a strong citrus/lemon flavor so ask for the dressing on the side if you prefer to add it to your liking. The chicken shawarma pieces were tasty! I'm excited to try out the other items on the menu! :)

the quality of food is great and the service is excellent. I love the chicken tawook sandwich here and the meat is halal (Hand slaughtered Zabihah). Call ahead of time and they make everything fresh and it's not processed fast food. Must try this hidden gem. The Salad (Fatoush) is very fresh and amazing.

Today's little plate of heaven with a bit of everything--as suggested by the lovely owner whom we met yesterday--was as wonderful as she promised it would be. And so my Habibi cherry has been popped and now I know where to go for legit middle eastern fare nearby. Family owned joints like Habibi are worth every penny and support IMHO. More power to you guys!

Supremely delicious authentic Lebanese cuisine! Highly recommend the shawarma plate The staff is attentive and friendly. The food was prepared fast and looked as good as it tasted. The proprietor Muhammad is welcoming and gracious. The restaurant is clean and well kept.

You'll meet some of the friendliest folks here! The staff is super attentive and always welcoming, making you feel right at home. Plus, there's plenty of parking, so no worries there! The food is incredibly fresh, just the way you want it! I would definitely order again! And let me tell you, the hummus? A solid 10/10--highly recommend! Whether you're grabbing lunch or dinner to go or just enjoying a casual meal in, this is the spot. If you're in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine, look no further--this place is the real deal!

EVERYTHING is just sooooo good here! It doesn't matter what sides I order cuz they're alllll just THAT good !! I have been trying many other Mediterranean restaurants for the past 2 months to see how others are/pricing etc. but let me tell you this place beats out every other restaurant, no other compares ! My favorite is the Chicken Tawook plate with two different salads for the sides but I always make sure to order their hummus as well. The flavors here are just so good from the chicken to the rice the garlic sauce the pita bread with hummus the SALADS. Everything is FRESH & made to order so it does take about 25-30 minutes for my order to be ready but very much worth it. Dont go when you're starving or order ahead. Also I recently tried their baklava and you guessed it, it was veryyyy good I'd definitely recommend it if you've never had baklava. I am somewhat of a picky eater so for me to make these claims is pretty extraordinary lol. It is a family owned business and they are super nice humble people who treat their customers like family! 10/10 recommend !!!!

Food: Chicken and Beef Shawarma Plate Ordered the chicken and beef shawarma plate with sides of hummus and fattoush (cucumber and tomato salad). Overall the flavors were alright, and portion sizing was okay as well. Being that there is not many Mediterranean / Lebanese style restaurants in the area, Habibi Grill will not let you down. I didn't get to taste the meat by itself as the plate is served with sauce on top of it, I would probably ask for it on the side next time. The rice is different than what I am used to as it is yellow and seasoned. It was not bad, just different. Fattoush and Hummus are pretty standard anywhere you go, and these fall right in line with the rest of them. The menu is bigger than I am used to at these kinds of restaurants which in intrigues me to try other menu items. Restaurant: There is plenty of parking and seating at Habibi Grill. It is located in a large shopping center, which means a large parking lot. You should have zero issues finding a spot. Inside there is plenty of tables! Notes: Habibi Grill prides itself in serving Zabiha (hand slaughtered halal meats). The owner mentioned to me that because of this, costs of meat are much higher than regularly processed meat that other Mediterranean restaurants serve.

Their chicken shawarma and falafel were the best I have ever had! The owners are friendly and gracious-thank you for the baklava:)

Delicious food! The best falafel I've had in a long time. Made fresh by super friendly folks.

Food is amazing. We ordered the cheeseburger, shawarma wrap and the chicken plate and everything was delicious. We plan to return.

Mohamed is so very friendly! Food is always excellent from the hummus, garlic sauce, burgers to shawarma. Support your local business and give them a shot

Greetings! Ok so first of all, this place is in a great location in the city of LA Mirada near Rosecrans and La Mirada avenues. In in a huge shopping center next to a grocery store and surrounding by plenty of parking spots. Staff including Angie at the front were super friendly and helpful. Most importantly, food was fairly priced and delicious. It's quite authentic and many of the dishes including the tabooli tasted just like my mother makes it. Bon appetite and sahtein!

Had a group of ten meet for pre-theater dinner. The owner was willing to arrange a table and reserve it for us. We agreed on pre- ordering our meals before our arrival. When we arrived we just seated ourselves and our meals were brought out in a timely manner. Great service from this small, family owned and run business! Couldn't have been more pleased. And the food is delicious! Lebanese food at its finest. Everyone in our party loved it! Thanks You, Habibi

We ordered the chicken shawarma and mint tea. Boy was it good. Great customer service too we would definitely come back- nice family res

Came to Habibi Grill on a Monday afternoon, place was quiet and perfect to catch up with some friends. I ordered the Chicken Tawook plate, and my friends ordered the Falafel Burger, lentil soup, and Habibi fries. The chicken tawook plate came with rice, chicken kabob bites/roasted veggies in a creamy sauce, hummus, and a house salad. Everything was so delicious and you could tell that the food was made fresh once ordered. The owner was SO sweet and hospitable, will definitely be coming back to dine in and also takeout!

I was a little disappointed this time because I ordered sweet potatoes, and it didn't come with my order. I guess I was a little peeved that it took so long since I was the only customer, but I should have checked the entire order before leaving. The guy who handed it to me even tried to double-check, but sigh. I also didn't get the right sides because I only got hummus and not tabouli, too. Sad story because I remember it tasting pretty good the first two times, but it was closer to their opening. The pita bread tasted like plastic, and it smelled very strange. That weird aftertaste kind of permeated through the rest of the dish. However, the beef was very tasty by itself. I also had an issue ordering online with Grubhub for pickup before, so I had to go in-store to order. I'd suggest just ordering in person or on their official websites because you won't be able to see the full menu. I think next time, I'd go elsewhere just because I'm a little disappointed they could make such mistakes when they're not busy.

This was my first time at Habibi Grill and I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer. The food was great and tasted homemade with lots of care. I got the kafta plate! Thank you to Mohammed and Angie for the great experience and amazing service!

This is my first time here and they only had two other customers at lunchtime. I was disappointed as it took 30 minutes to get a very basic salad. it seems like others are waiting a long time for what they ordered as well.

I am from Lebanon and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. Everything was fresh and made to order. I highly recommend. The owner is very personable and loves to interact with the customers It felt like home

Food freshly made after you order at the kiosk. The food is flavorful and hot and the restaurant is clean and well lit. Perfect for casual lunch.

Wow, where do I start? Food is amazing. I got the chicken tawook plate with hummus,baba ganoush & grape leaves. Also my first time trying baba ganoush and that was delicious. Very good customer service and the restaurant was clean. I would definitely recommend. I live in Montebello and I will for sure be coming back! My new fave spot!

I had an amazing experience at Habibi Grill! I ordered the kafta wrap, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor. The food was clearly prepared with care. What made my visit even better was the outstanding service. The owner, Mohammed, and Angie were both incredibly kind and welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern food with fantastic service, I highly recommend Habibi Grill. I'll definitely be coming back!

First time visit Habibi grill in La Mirada with my husband. It was so yummy homemade food , made from scratch fabulous customer service . Mr Mohamed made our experience even better with a great hospitality skills ,would absolutely recommend coming here. We will see you soon. Thank you very much I love the Falafel and beef kabob , tabouli and salad .

A shout out to Angie, who was so kind at the counter when she took our orders. The food was wonderfully spiced, and delicious. Portions were generous; we left full! We had the Kafta wrap and chicken shawarma with baba ghannouj and fattoush salad; wonderful! And the baklava - so good! The owner talked with us. Everyone was friendly, and I will be sure to eat here again the next time I come to La Mirada.

Good food and good people, well worth the wait! Fresh ingredients and delicious first time visiting and will be back again. Thank you!

Visited Habibi Grill for the first time with some friends and could not have been happier with my visit. Upon entering, we were greeted with a smile. We devoured 2 orders of Beef Shawarma Fries and a delicious Kofta plate that included Tabbouleh and Baba Ganoush. Both sides complemented the Kofta perfectly and both proteins ordered were tender and juicy. At the end of the meal, we were recommended to try the Knafeh and it did not disappoint. My friends and I were left speechless and were scrapping the plate almost ordering seconds. Overall, Mohamad and staff treated us with the utmost respect and I am already looking forward to my next visit to this clean and vibrant shop.

For the price, I felt like the food could've been a little bit better. I'm definitely willing to come by and try it out again though. The Habibi Burger was good but my plate was aiight. They ran out of hummus and was a little bummed, but it's ok. Service was friendly and the person at the register was patient. I did come at an off-time right before dinner so it was quiet. Ambiance seemed chill and again, I came at an off-time and also did takeout.

I had beef shawarma and it was absolutely delicious! The food was quickly made and fresh. The service was great as well. Mohammad is kind and attentive. Thank you!

Went yesterday. First time ordering frim here. Ordered 2 plates and was asked which sides, so we ordered from the side orders section. I'm legally blind so I didn't notice the sides are listed above the plates section. My kid didn't notice either, and they can see fine, lol. We ordered the from the side order section on the right. There was an additional charge. +1.50 for each side. There was one large group already there. I'm assuming they were friends or family since they kept bringing them dishes that looked delicious. One person even said we are already full. Our food took quite a while to get. I didn't look at the time cause we weren't in a rush. Two employees apologized for the long wait. Three out of 4 of us enjoyed the food. I enjoyed the falafel plate. Not blown away but good. On our hour drive home, my stomach turned, and I had to find a restroom quick. I was the only one to get sick & that was my only meal that day.

Sorry but we are going to say no to this place. We got there and my girlfriend was standing in front for 10 minutes waiting for help. Nobody was around until I came inside and said...are you still waiting? Anyway, we even gave a nice tip but the meal was bad. The rice was sticky, the salad was bad and there was hardly any meat. It was probably the worst Mediterranean food we ever tasted. We will definitely not go there anymore. Also, we had to wait 30 minutes for the take out.

Updating my review for 2024, but I have gone to Habibi Grill a couple times for takeout and I am glad to say that this place still hits the mark when it comes to flavor, freshness, and the sweetest service possible. Mo and his staff were so generous when taking my order and I did notice that they added a few more items on the menu like arayes and a plethora of desserts (cannot wait to try their knafeh). I am a huge falafel fan and I've had it in various establishments all over, but the way Habibi Grill's falafel are crafted is magical. Each bite yielded a herb-packed kiss of flavor accentuated by the sweet onion undertones. I usually get baba ghanoush for my order alongside the tabbouleh, but decided to be a tad healthier and get their house salad as a refreshing addition. Did I mention that the portions are so generous? I can easily make two meals out of them and given the cost of everything these days, it's a steal. Usually I am pretty picky about where I tend to eat or get takeout from, but Habibi Grill always left my taste buds and my tummy happy. I hope Mo and his staff continue to have great success in the new year and I will add his restaurant as a mainstay .

Came in with my husband to grab a quick bite to eat before a movie. We were instantly greeted warmly by the owner and his family. While others have indicated that there's a bit of a wait, it's all worth it. They cook the food right after ordering, resulting in delicious, fresh, and warm food. Some other places have the items at the ready but cold, and quite frankly tasteless or too salty. At Habibi, they cook it like you are guests at their home. We're happy to have found this place for our middle eastern cuisine. While we only had the chicken shawarmas and falafel, we will be coming back soon for the plates (and Habibi burger!)

One of the best restaurants in town! Hidden gem that lives up to ALL the hype! This is my 4th time here and they never disappoint. I'll be coming back again and again!

I have eaten their food twice, once order in to go and once via DoorDash and while the food is good they are frustratingly slow. My favorite dish is the kofta plate with baba ganoush. Wrapped grape leaves were good. Baklava is good. Husband thought his chicken shawarma was dry. I got my kid the chicken nugget plate which I appreciate them offering, but you're getting Walmart nuggets for $9. From ordering to taking out we spent 40 minutes, for 3 plates, one of which was frozen nuggets. My DoorDash driver waited a good 20 minutes for my order. Maybe calling ahead to pickup would help? I have yet to try their mint lemonade, it was sold out both times. They are the nicest people and their food is good. But the wait time makes me think twice before coming again.

Friendly people, tasty food. The ordering kiosk isn't very personal but not a big deal.

We had the chicken schwarma plate and protein salad. We also ordered the falafel and had the backlavah for dessert. Everything tasted fresh and our meal was made to order. Mohammed came out to check on our meal and he was so friendly and made us feel welcome. This is the best spot to eat near Biola University in La Mirada. 10 Stars! We'll be back soon.

Hidden gem in the heart of la Miranda. We got the falafel plate with hummus and tzatziki, and the beef shawarma plate with baba ganoush and tabbouleh. Every aspect of this meal was fresh, delicious and bursting with flavor. The sauces were all on point. The falafel was crispy and tender and had obviously been freshly made. The baklava was one of the best I've even had, crispy, honey- drenched heaven. Nice family-friendly ambience, great welcoming service, and plenty of parking.
