Habibi The Restaurant

Delicious meal on the rooftop of SSA out in Brooklyn with beautiful decor and ambiance. Started off with complimentary glasses of Prosecco and crudite followed by an awesome meal. We ordered the perfectly tender octopus, hummus (with lamb), and lamb and chicken gyros. Everything was well seasoned and service was fantastic and incredibly attentive. Cocktails were delicious too especially the Nur which came with a show itself (literally set aflame table side). Will definitely be back when in the area. Thanks team!

Hands down the best dining experience in New York City. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted by staff with free champagne, through the most beautiful entry way and elevator. It feels exclusive but in a great way. The cocktails are great, the free crudite and never ending pita was a pleasant surprise, and the mains and mezzes were simple yet beautifully done. The only negative I have is that the fries were mediocre, and the $60 lobster came out cold. But, nevertheless, the 5 other dishes we ordered and everything else Habibi has to offer made the visit worthwhile. The ambiance and atmosphere can not be beat anywhere else in Brooklyn. For the amount of food, the experience, and everything else— the prices are more than fair. We will be back ASAP!

The service and atmosphere were stellar. The waitress and manager Alex were beyond reproach in their attention to detail and inter personal communication. The clash of brutalism and mcm makes the dining room setting to a movie scene. The quality of food wasn’t the issue. I appreciated not making things not too salty but if the sauces were meant to be authentically ethnic. They missed that mark to cater to palettes less aggressive. I already know if I want traditional cuisines but no frills head to a Northern Blvd, or Flushing Queens. However, despite being non committal-on flavor . You’re coming for an experience and I’d go back gladly.

10/10 this was the coolest experience. The elevator ride up to the top is worth it alone, but the food was insanely good, the service was fantastic and the ambience was super cool. *Definitely do not make the trek out there without a res tho!

Nice setting. Great table decor. Yes it’s a bit out of the way but it’s that contrast what might just make be so wowing about it. Great food, predominantly featuring dishes from regions where 'Habibi' is a familiar term. Incredibly well priced.

This place is a beautiful escape from the city. Upon arrival, you’re greeted with the most generosity and a free drink. The elevator itself is a vibe. The space is massive with a working station, restaurant, hookah lounge, etc etc. This space is the next best thing NY could offer. The creative direction is immaculate and such a vibe. Forget Soho House, I need a membership here.

Probably one the most amazing restaurant I’ve been this year. Incredible service impeccable taste and delicious menu, the vide is so New York that is worth experiencing from the crazy area where the restaurant is, to the fine dining experience at the dining room. Definitely I’ll go back . Perfect for special occasions or a night out since they have 2 really cool bars

I think I found my favorite spot to dine in NYC. I was intentionally supposed to dine in with a friend, but I went solo as I had wanted to try this place so bad and was extremely hungry. The moment you go up the elevators, and the doors open to your floor, it is so pretty. 😍 The whole room is full of views. I got chicken sheesh kabobs, and the first non-alcholic drink on the menu (I forgot what it’s called but I got it 3 x that’s how good it was), and rice. All were very good. The service/ the atmosphere/ food all 100/10.

Definitely A+ for experience at this Mediterranean inspired restaurant. Once you the elevator doors open to the restaurant, you are greeted by two hostesses. When they verify your reservation, a glass of Champagne awaits as you walk towards your table. Each table is beautifully adorned with a real orchard plant. Lovely! Included with the meal is a Crude de te and pita bread for the table. We ordered the lamb, the prawns, tabouleh salad, the habibi meat special flatbread. For cocktails we had included the Layla (like the espresso martini with tequila), Bosa, Casablanca (martini), Nur (a drink fit for social media because of the presentation). Oddly, the shrimp was not good. Overcooked the first time, less but still overcooked the second time. I have had better lamb. The salad and flatbread were delicious- definitely get that. You can also partake in free hookah after dinner at a lower floor. This adds to the experience!

Came here with my friends who really know their arab food, so I was in for a treat. They tried to seat us at a disjointed table which was basically two-tops pushed together, super awkward and not condusive for an enjoyable meal. Luckily, they moved us after some hesitation. Once that was over... the meal was awesome. We ordered every single app + chicken. Obviously had to head to the lounge after for a completely different vibe of what seemed like alot of NYU kids but regardless was something fun and vibey. The waiter/dj was absolutely slaying -- playing Ice spice, We Caa done old drake and burna boy

10/10 experience The complimentary champagne in the beginning is a nice way to welcome guest into the amazing experience that is Habibi. The staff here are so welcoming helpful and pleasant. Here's what we ordered Abu Tom Lazizi Babaghanoush Halloumi manakeish Mixed grill supreme Everything was delicious and filling. I would definitely come back. Don't forget the complimentary hookah (if you're interested)z

My friends and I had the BEST dining experience here. Normally for dinner we prefer to do later in the evening. I highly suggest securing a pre sunset reservation here in order to properly view all the details of this beautiful place and food. Once we arrived to our floor we were given complementary champagne and taken to our table. Our Server was determined to amplify our experience and she did just that. The wine she suggested was top tier. We opted for the prefix which included dips, veggies, meats and seafood. Everything was 10/10 perfect. The Branzino was the best I've had in a while. They ended our meal with assorted sweets and tea. Book that reservation today! And make sure you have enough time so that you can take your time and enjoy the experience!

I really need to know who okayed creating a restaurant that sells over priced street meat ??? Nothing about the food was good . Okay maybe the hummus awarma and pita . Besides that I could've easily gotten some falafel and rice from the falafel man on Austin Street and been completely fine, full and a couple hundred richer . && Whats up with those obnoxiously huge menus ? You dont even have that many options !!! For the hype it wasn't worth it . I dont care how much complimentary crudités and baklava you throw my way . 2 stars for the ambiance. I was so underwhelmed we didnt even accept the "complimentary hookah" after . And dont drink the champagne unless you're use to a cheap buzz . Definitely got a headache from it (upset me even more because I had a great day of quality drinking before it. Come here after you've eaten from your favorite street meat guy for the Lounge .

This is by far one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. The level of service, the attention to detail, the quality of the food, the incredible ambiance, heck even the hand soap and lotion in the bathrooms are Hermes... the food is probably one of the most surprisingly authentic menus with a modern twist. I highly highly recommend this place for a date night or if you want to impress someone you're with. 10/10

Amazingggggg!! Def go here whether date night or with best friends. It's not so expensive for a 5 start space

Finally, a dining experience that is quintessential New York. Tucked away in the warehouse section of Bushwick, the restaurant is identified only by the neon address number above the door. You walk in toward the elevator and are greeted by service staff that hand you a glass of bubbly while you wait. Once you get off the elevator, you are then greeted by a host that leads you through a few dark hallways that eventually open up into a gorgeous, lively, glass-encased dining room with views of Brooklyn and the city in the distance. The people who work there are extremely good looking and it reminds me of old New York. I came here for a friend's birthday with a large party. We were not given menus, but presented with options voiced over by a server: mezze for an appetizer, and for the main course, family style surf, turf, or surf & turf. Of course we opted for the mezze and surf & turf to get the full experience. Most of the food was absolutely delicious with a few misses. I'm Greek, and the stuffed grape leaves were the worst I've ever had in my life - essentially inedible - and this is a hard dish to mess up. Also, they brought a bowl of ice to the table with a whole tomato plopped on top. We sat there in confusion for several minutes until finally a server came and cut the tomato in large, haphazard chunks tableside, drizzled it with high quality olive oil and sprinkled it with salt, and served it to us. It tasted good after that, but everyone knows tomatoes in the US are generally bad, especially compared to tomatoes in the Mediterranean, so the dish still didn't really land. Also, they served us lobster that wasn't cut open properly. The servers refused to help me and I immediately employed my native New England girl skills and fought to get it out. The lamb and all of the dips in the mezze were great, though. Also have to note that the communication from the server could have been better. I'm multilingual and I hate bringing up stuff like this, but the server had a HEAVY accent, and since there are no menus and the dishes are read aloud to us, and since the restaurant is sufficiently noisy, this was a bit difficult to contend with. The other thing that was unexpected - the bill. It was about $208 per person. We didn't really go crazy with the drinks and food ordering, so it was a surprise, especially since the food didn't exactly measure up. I debated between 3 and 4 stars, but overall it was a cool experience, so I went with 4. I am not sure if I would come back here, but the restaurant is new and if they make the necessary corrections, they could have a great thing going.

Went for my girlfriend's birthday. The staff and service were above and beyond 5 stars!!! Tremendous attention to detail and very accommodating. The food was amazing and very well prepared. This would've been a 5 star review except it seemed a tad pricey for what it really is and the table next to us had a dog with them (not a service animal) which if you're charging those prices you'd need to be a bit more assertive with the animal allowing rules. Other than that it was an excellent experience and definitely recommended

In a dark and desolate section of industrial Bushwick you enter a door to a rather nondescript building. While first concerned for your safety and well-being you are quickly calmed once greeted by the gracious host. The adventure begins from there. First up is a welcome drink and then you are whisked up an elevator to a lounge until your table is ready. Here you can order another drink to enjoy out on the terrace or choose to relax inside while enjoying the music played by a DJ. After a short while you are escorted up a staircase to your table in a beautiful large indoor dining room (outdoor dining on the adjacent section of the rooftop would have been first choice in the summer) with big glass windows and incredible views of the Kosciusko Bridge and its changing colors. Next comes the food. While you can order a la carte options, the best deal is to do one of the deluxe offerings for the table. Portions were generous. We chose the mixed grille which included: Hot and cold mezze (a large heirloom tomato cut table side, a bowl with carrots and peppers, pickled vegetables and feta, hummus, baba ganoush, labneh, flatbread with cheese, falafel, grape leaves, chicken wings, and of course pita bread). A large platter of grilled meats (lamb chops, lamb kebab, chicken kebab, and kofta). Sides (rice, stewed okra and zatar fries). And, dessert (fruits, Turkish delight, baklava, ice cream - chocolate, pistachio and vanilla, and mint tea). The food was very good to excellent. All the starters were delicious especially the dips. The lamb chops and lamb kebab were spectacular. Well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The desserts were good too (although by then we were too stuffed to finish it all). I would be neglectful if I forgot to mention that they had a good cocktail menu and wine list. After dinner you can continue your evening in the lounge where they also offer hookah. We enjoyed every minute of this unique and delicious dining experience. Since this is a pop up venue, try and go before they are gone. You will have a night to remember!

The service is impeccable. From the complimentary glass of rose upon entry into the elevator, to the attention to detail with the crudite, the servers really go above and beyond. We got the lamb chops and branzino, both were good, but the lamb chops were quite rare. The server didnt ask what temp we would like it cooked at, but maybe that was on purpose?

Me and wife were celebrating our birthday we had a great time .... Will highly recommend ..

Grown and Sexy vibes! Food was amazing and the views are to die for! Love that they give you a complementary hookah after dinner! Amazing spot! Will be back.

My second time at Habibi was just as memorable as this first. The experience from start to finish was out of this world. From the complimentary Prosecco in the elevator, to the brief wait in the scenic bar and lounge area, you have already had a 5 start experience before you make it to your table for the main courses of delicious cuisine.

I haven't been to any thing this good in NYC (Brooklyn) in a long Time, the Food was Amazing , the restaurant is very very chic, and the crowd / music was great, the service was on point, I love how it's in the middle of nowhere, and I loved the guy in the tuxedo that greeted us at the door before we went up to the official Hostess/supermodel with complimentry champagne Who gave us the best table in the house,,, I'm a big fan, I very rarely give 5 Stars , I live in manhattan and I have to say I rolled my eyes when my Friends said we were going to Bushwick, but it's worth the trip, and I hope it doesn't get Flooded with the wrong people, I want to go Again and Again Everything was great, it was a very memorable evening Did I mention how great the Food was

When you first walk in you are greeted with champs which set the tone for the evening. Definitely a vibe and great experience. The food was traditional Levantine. Would be great for a private event as well. I look forward to coming back in the summer!

Great ambiance and amazing food. Very picturesque. Hookah was good if you like, love 66, it's the only flavor they offer...but hey it's free. The tester at is an experience from the time you walk in.

Cancelled a large birthday reservation the day before. Incredibly frustrating and unprofessional way of dealing with customers. I get changes happen, but not allowing any suggestions of what to do next week.

Really enjoyed my experience. Great food,ambience and service. Our meals were incredibly tasty and the meats very juicy and tender!

Food was all undercooked, the chicken was pink and the prawns didnt even peel of the shell...basmati rice was flavorless...for the price...go get a slice of pizza instead thank me later.....

Food = delicious Service = spectacular Ambiance = impeccable I enjoyed a wonderful date with my partner of 14 years.

The food was rather bland and tasteless. All of the meat literally tasted the same, like a charcoal grill. I was really looking forward to the lamb chops and asked for medium rare. They came out completely under cooked and flavorless. The rice had fake saffron in it which made it taste like plastic. The best part of our dinner was the vanilla ice cream. Seems like you're paying a premium for the ambiance and nothing else. Dinner for 2 was over $200 (without drinks) and totally not worth it. Save your money and go somewhere else

Honestly, this restaurant feels like a scam. the food is pretty awful. Like, feels like it's catered from a grocery store bad. the ambiance photographs well for Instagram & but feels like you're at a cheap wedding irl. the saving grace was how nice the servers were and how hard the staff was clearly working but I would not recommend if you want to be eat a nice meal.

Nice vibe, view, music and drinks. Went here with friends while going to catch a concert nearby. This place is going to end up being big.

I am still amazed at the hospitality at Habibi Rooftop the Restaurant last night. So welcoming! Typically these trendy, exclusive spots aren't that welcoming but I don't remember the last time I went out to dinner and every single staff member made me feel like they actually wanted me there. From the elevator to simply being guided to the table...top tier service.. The food was yummy the drinks were great. Whoever staffed this place clearly wants it to be around for a long time. You are not rushed! They actually want you to stay longer! A+ make the reservation I'm making my next one now lol.

Why should you come : cool vibe and nice view (but loud). Why you should not come : mediocre food at best (worse than that really) and really really awful interminable service . Fine to be cool but if that's all there is , you will be as disinclined to return as I am .

Can someone tell me if they've ever showed up without reservations ? I checked for this Fri. evening and nothing and how's the parking ?
