Habibi Miami

The atmosphere was so fun and the place was so beautiful. Music was on point too, the dancers were absolutely gorgeous, amazing performers!! Food was phenomenal, super fresh and tasteful. The service was awesome and everyone was so helpful and sweet. The vibe was everything!!! Our server was Bastien and he was bringing the energy!!!

Habibi Miami was easily one of the most stunning restaurants l’ve ever been to with such a sexy vibe and views of yachts along the river — the decor was glamorous and the food was absolutely amazing. My husband and I loved the steak, wow! It truly felt like I was dining in Dubai! I’ll be back soon 💕

To celebrate our sixth anniversary, I decided to go upscale—and chose Habibibi for the occasion. We arrived early, just before 6:20 pm, without a reservation, and were lucky to be seated at a lovely outdoor table overlooking the busy and vibrant Miami River. We started with two beautiful cocktails and skipped the appetizers. For our main course, we had the “Lollipop” Côtelettes D’Agneau (lamb chops) and the Branzino Grillé, paired with fries and Herb Lemon Potatoes. Everything was flavorful and well presented. Around 8:45 pm, we were politely informed that we had reached the 2-hour seating limit and had to vacate the table. While I understand this is common practice at trendy spots post-COVID, it can feel like it cuts the evening short—especially on a special night. We moved to the bar for two more drinks and enjoyed the belly dancers, which added a lively touch. However, a small downside: the bar has no chairs, which felt a bit inconvenient. The interior is luxurious and beautifully styled, evoking a Moroccan or broader Arab ambiance that really enhances the experience. My only real criticism is the limited selection of main courses—only five options. While this may be a trend in modern upscale dining, I personally prefer a bit more variety, especially having lived in Europe (in the Netherlands and Spain), where I’ve enjoyed a broader range of Arab and Moroccan cuisine. All in all, a memorable evening—great atmosphere, delicious food, and lively entertainment. Giving it 4 stars due to the limited menu and time restriction.

Nothing short of amazing! Celebrated a 50th birthday on. Sunday night. Everything and everyone was 10/10. Reservation was for 8pm. We didn’t leave until well after midnight. The staff, live entertainment, service, food, ambience, decor were all amazing and we didn’t want to leave. Everyone from the owner, security, bartender, server, etc all introduced themselves and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. Can’t wait to come again. We absolutely loved this place!

Such a beautiful place and atmosphere! I love the view on the water and boats passing by. The food was disappointing tho. Didn’t taste like true moroccan food. The dumplings were so good tho! Came for the sunset so we didn’t get to see the belly dancers

Habibi was such an amazing experience! The drinks were creative and delicious, the lobster roll was one of the best I’ve had so fresh and flavorful and the view was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere was great, and everything came together to make it such a memorable night.

Our dinner at Habibi was absolutely wonderful. Firstly, the service was absolutely fantastic. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and attentive about every question we had regarding the menu. Secondly, the food was immaculate! I am Iraqi. I’ve had my grandmother cooking, and this food was not far off. Absolutely wonderful. An added bonus was the view. Walking out onto the dock outside, we could see all the yachts and enjoy the warm weather. We will be back!

Come for the drinks and the vibes. The food I was not impressed by. I also went about 3 weeks it's been open. Entertainment is great and the place looks nice, but food and service was not my favorite here. The branzino was very dry, we couldn't eat it. Also had the prawn with cous cous & veggies which we're alright. The sea bass (raw) was delicious however!

I had the worst dining experience at Habibi. The only reason I'm not giving this place a one star is because of the manager, who genuinely tried his hardest to make our experience better. Despite his efforts, I would never return. We had a reservation on a Saturday night. As we were about to enter the restaurant, the security guards refused to let us in because one of our friends didn't meet their "dress code." He was wearing a sweater with jeans and sneakers--nothing offensive or overly casual--but apparently, this wasn't acceptable. After 10 minutes of back and forth with them, our friend decided to leave, telling us to enjoy dinner without him. In hindsight, we should have taken this as a sign to leave too. When we checked in with the hostesses, they told us to wait at the bar. Fifteen minutes passed, and then 25 more. When we asked for an update, they told us we were waiting for a table to clear. Another 20 minutes went by and at this point, we had waited over an hour for our reservation. When we pressed again, they admitted there were no tables available because the owner had shown up with his friends, leaving us without a spot. While waiting, we noticed people dressed far more casually than our friend, a girl in leggings and sneakers, and a man in drawstring sweatpants. Yet somehow, our friend in a nice sweater and sneakers wasn't allowed in? After another 30 minutes of waiting, we were fed up. The manager stepped in and did his best to accommodate us, eventually seating us at the bar. Unfortunately, things didn't improve much from there. The food was mediocre. The burgers were overly salty, but the salads and truffle cheese sticks were surprisingly good. However, we never received our entrées because the "show" started, and the kitchen seemed to stop altogether. The vibe is fun if you're into the typical Miami "pay for the scene, not the service or food" experience, but it's not for me. Between the ridiculous dress code, the mismanagement of reservations, and the lackluster food, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had.

My girlfriends and I loved the ambience and spots for pictures. We didn't have a reservation so we didn't have dinner there. Beautiful spot and the security guys were very nice and let us check out the bar and everything. Hopefully, we will come back for the whole experience.

Where do i start? I attempted to make a reservation, but the restaurant showed as booked all night except 7pm. I made the 7p reservation and arrived and the place was completely empty and only filled about two or three tables the two hours i was there. The servers and managers tried pretty hard which was the one upside of my experience. It was too dark and the music was too loud. The babaganoush was watery, the hummus was just ok, but there was option for one or the other you had to get a three item platter. The sliders were slightly undercooked, the bread and the beef. The brussel sprout salad left a lot to be desired. The branzino was undercooked and covered in a dill based sauce that just wasn't very good. Unfortunately i didn't have a great experience at this restaurant.

Service was great! Ambiance great! Food taste was ok nothing to write home about. Portions too small, prices too high. $200 for a hookah is pricey and ask for more coal $200... That pretty much sums up my experience.

One night i decided to come by and check this place out before i decided to do my bday dinner here keep in mind if there's a party of 7+ you need a set menu and that's about $200 and something a person so i decided to go with a party of 6 ...you do have 2hrs only to eat and enjoy the place or go to the bar ...the food was good but was kind of bother of the fact that they have us so many dips with a little bit of bread to dip it in so I order more bread and that was an extra $6 didn't even touch the plate and still go charge the entertainment was super nice loved the whole layout and theme of place but the photo spots had the worse lighting so the picture didn't come out as well ...they do rush you out your table even thought the place was empty I'll say come to the bar and hang out but not dinner ...tab came out to $300 and something 4 people not bad the water was expensive just keep in mind it's an expensive place but it was nice ..

First place I've been to in my life that they are so greedy for money that you can't get ice water. You have to order bottled water. Literally they won't give you tap water. Ordered the Wagyu Steak Filet. The meat wasnt good at all. Maybe a 3 out of 10 and it cost 77 dollars. To top things off they add a 22 percent gratuity. It's tacky. Why would I pay more than the standard 20 percent. Spent 700 dollars for myself and two friends. This place won't last unless they change business practices. I'm not a cheap person and this was a rip off.

My time at Habibi's was very interesting. I ordered the Cleopatra which was a bit overpriced but tasted great - a smoky mezcal to say the least. We initially had a girl server that wasnt the best, she wasnt very engaging. We had booked our table for 2 hours and were escorted to either leave or switch tables. She had sent over someone else to give us the news. This was very disappointing as there were numerous tables available and my friend was celebrating her birthday and all of her milestones. However, after discussing the unprofessionalism with Moussi, he was able to change our whole experience around. He was respectful, checked up on us a lot more, he also went above and beyond to provide dessert for our table to make up for the experience being a complete 0/5 for the birthday girl and the rest of the guests. Habibi definitely needs more people like Moussi because I almost gave this spot a 0.

The decor at this place was so incredible. Such great vibes and lots of insta worthy photo opps. The drinks were cute and delicious. Recommend the Moroccan margarita! The food was just ok to be honest but it was a creative take on Moroccan flavors. Service was nice. They also had a belly dancer show after 9:30 and DJ so the vibes were good after that as well. Would come back purely for the vibes and drinks.

Reservation was at 10:00 pm but did not get seated until 11:30. The booth we got placed at was open the entire time we were waiting to be seated. While there was a lot of people taking pictures throughout the night, they stopped allowing pictures once a very well known social media influencer was seen at the restaurant due to them not having a " photo permit." The ambiance was good but the food was not all the great. Wouldn't come back, better off going to Komodo, Mila, or even Seaspice that's next door.

We went to Habibia last night (Sunday 2/16/25). We had an absolute 5 star experience & a fantastic evening!!!!!! There was 4 of us, we had a really nice booth and we loved all the food. Our waitress Valentina was awesome, she took excellent care of us - she was so fun and sweet! I guess the DJ was brand new that evening, but WOW he played the best music all night - he made it so fun!!!! Habibi was overall such a great vibe, the belly dancers were beautiful and when we left we described it as an EPIC NIGHT!!!! Definitely would recommend and we will be returning next time we visit from Colorado!

We felt very rushed couldn't enjoy our night. Very over priced. The 2 hr max is enforced. Took 35 minutes to get drinks. Wouldn't go back.

Went there for girls night out Saturday night we waited almost an hr for our table what a chaotic situation I think they over booked but otherwise the place is beautifully done DJ was fantastic the food ok half of the food we ordered didn't come so after a while we canceled it at the end drinks were good but pricy overall dj made the night

Drinks are very expensive! Food no the best. Shrimps overcooked , dessert look and taste old. Ambiance beautiful decor ! Love it As far food needs improvement

It's my second time in this place Last time was 2 weeks ago with my family which was very good and we really enjoyed. We decided to come again yesterday, And unfortunately we had a super uncomfortable and awkward situation. We reserved a table for 4 people at 10pm We arrived on time, they asked us to wait until we get a table, which we never got. We waited 20 minutes, standing in the middle of the place, asked a few times what up with our table And then came one of the workers to explain us that they simply don't have a table for us even though we made the reservation. It was very uncomfortable and unexpected, and they offered us to go to the Kiki On The River instead, which we didn't really wanted but we had no choice. More then that, no one really took care of the transition of the situation, we went by ourselves to Kiki to ask for a table , and basically that's it. The guy from Habibi said he really sorry, but besides asking for forgiveness, no other actions have taken place, transition never took place and we not even one thing to try make this situation better. BYW, the food in Kiki was horrible and we didn't even wanted to go and eat Greek cuisine. But that's a different story. It really felt like they had preferred others to seat in their place than us, maybe because our look (not fitting the young and bougie vibe?) or maybe because we were just 4 people compared to other tables that had more guests. In any of this cases, it's unacceptable.

Please do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else. They ruined our birthday celebration! Disappointing experience with even worst customer service. After spending around $2,000 (in food and drinks) We were abruptly asked to leave before finishing our meal because they needed our table for a 10pm reservation (and basically they had already made the money with us) . Asking guests to leave in the middle of their meal, especially after spending a significant amount, is beyond bad service, particularly if you weren't informed ahead of time. They simply prioritized profit over customer experience. We were asked to leave our table around 9:50 PM even though we hadn't finished our meal or ordered dessert, not even a chance to sing Happy Birthday. It was that bad. I know it's hard to believe. No time limit was mentioned when we booked or arrived, or even during our meal, NOTHING... basically KEEP IT QUIET AND LET THEM SPEND... our server even took another drink order right before we were told to leave! Drinks had not even arrived to the table. We were so upset that we chose not to leave a tip as a form of protest against how we were treated. In response, the restaurant immediately sent a security guard to escort us out! Yes, they still had not returned our credit cards for us to sign and the security guard was asking us to leave, we are decent people and were literally on our way out, just waiting for our credit cards to return, sign, and go.... so this was a completely unnecessary and hostile response from their part. Literally the WORST EXPERIENCE ever. We have never had a worst experience in Miami. This was a first. Please do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else. There are plenty a good restaurants in Miami, no need to give your money to people who don't deserve it. We hope the management takes this feedback seriously, clear communication at the right time would have set the right expectation. No one wants to be rushed through a meal, especially when celebrating a special occasion.

Came here for a girls dinner and had such a fun experience! This is my second time going and both times were amazing. The first time, there were belly dancers and everyone in the restaurant were so lively. This time there was a dj to bring the excitement. The service was amazing and we had such attentive staff helping us. I highly recommend coming!

Over rated, Over price, Horrible service, NOT- Moroccan ,Super disorganized (drinks, bar, food). After the main course Little Eddie will rush the waiters to get the people out of their tables. They offer you dessert BUT Little Eddie make sure that you don't eat it and bring the check right away and "GET OUT". (table time is 2 hours ). You will NOT make the 2 hours bc Little Eddie will make your night so miserable that you want to leave earlier. From 10:30 until 11:30 the restaurant was half empty. After spending $850usd I will not come back or recommend the restaurant to anyone to have a Horrible Experience. FYI: they make people wait in the Lobby to believe that is full but its actually empty. LOL!!! We are in MIAMI, baby don't waist your time or money here.

I was dying to try this place and after multiple attempts to make reservations, I finally scored one a month in advance. We got to our reservation maybe 30 min early and it was pretty empty inside, but they still made us wait the 30 min. at the bar before seating us. I'm not sure if this is to make sure timing is right with their belly dancing performance, but I think they could maximize seatings by a ton, because as I said, it was quite empty when we got there. The decor was out of this world. I'm in awe of how much attention was paid to every small detail to transport you to Morocco (e.g. the flying carpet coasters, the zebra heads on the wall). The food was also amazing. My husband and I shared a bunch of appetizers and they were all delicious, as were the specialty drinks in their cool on-theme glasses. The dancers were great, I just wish we got to see more of them or hear more of the Moroccan music playing throughout our dinner. I also expected it to be more of a dinner/club vibe, but there was not much dancing going on, outside of the few minutes when the belly dancers performed. Maybe it was still a little early at 10pm? Staff was also so friendly and easy to talk to. Fun place to try out.

It's new, so I'm going to be fair. Aside from drinks taking a while to come, I highly reccomend this place. The food was amazing. My favs were the carrots, the shrimp, and the crispy roll with cheese. Very lively and the dancers are amazing. The decor is stunning!!!! Food was good. My server Mohammad Ali was the highlight of my experience

Amazing food everything was so carefully crafted and delicious. Also everything came super quick! Service was insane Mohammed legit was the best service we have ever had in miami. He gave the menu a n exceptional explanation and story. He truly made our night and deserves such recognition. Thank you for taking great care of us.

Horrible client service. They cancelled my reservations few hours before my dinner. No reasons was given. Will never make another attempt to dine in this restaurant again.

One of the worst restaurants I have ever been. The food was terrible, it made us sick and nauseous. Avoid

Not l worth the money food is trash and tasted old decoration is the only nice thing about this place but food quality IS NOT worth the money.

The food the ambulance the place everything is amazing you come to Miami you must go . Best dinner party in Miami
