Habibi Grill & Bakery Fayetteville, NC

The Manager today force me to update my earlier 5 star review, as you can see I regularly visit this place it’s one of my favorite spots in Fayetteville. I’ve always enjoyed their authentic Palestinian Mediterranean food, generous portions, and fresh bakery items. I’ve also recommended Habibi to my many friends because I genuinely liked the overall experience. However, I recently had an experience that really disappointed me. I purchased Ajwa dates from the store section. Ajwa dates are one of the finest and most premium dates from Saudi Arabia, known for their rich taste and soft texture. The ones I bought were very old, dry, and completely tasteless nothing like fresh Ajwa should be.. my expectation were high from my past great experiences when i went to exchange those dates but the manager’s attitude was rude and unprofessional. I was shocked how he is talking to me like I’m his servant While he did exchange the item eventually but he made unnecessary and inappropriate comments such as "we don’t return or refund" and "next time don’t try to do that again." That was honestly shocking to hear as a loyal customer. I wasn’t asking for something unreasonable I simply expected fresh quality dates that i paid for it. It was not charity Man I paid it I have a right to ask you why this food quality is not good. YOU SUPPOSE TO SELL QUALITY FOOD. Customer service matters just as much as food quality. A respectful tone and professionalism go a long way, especially during Ramadan, when patience and good character should guide our behavior even more. I am sharing this because I care about this place and want it to succeed. I still believe Habibi serves great food, but management should seriously work on communication and customer service. All customers deserve respect especially over a simple $25 exchange ?

A beautiful Welcoming spot and the young manager is very positive gives u a nice warm feel. Interior is beautiful 😍 Food is fresh tasty and food serving size for good price. Must try with family This place is hidden gem 💎 ✨️

Fresh, delicious food…they make it with and serve it with Love= they have captured the true spirit of hospitality! Whatever we ordered ( chicken sandwich, kofta on rice, tzaziki, tabbouleh, hummus etc) was fresh and made from scratch! Their ‘Mandy Rice’ deserves a special mention - it’s colorful and bursting with subtle flavors! God bless their business!!!

The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and our waiter Said was the best, the other young lady as well, we didn’t catch her name. Lamb chops were perfect and the rice 😘; we also had the Lamb Mandy, everything we had was delicious. The portions are pretty generous, and you get a soup of the day too. They also have a grocery store inside, we got juice from it and drank it during our meal. My husband and I were both very satisfied and will most definitely come back with more family.

I came to the new Habibi Grill & Bakery on Bragg Blvd and honestly, everything I tried was really good. I went around 7pm on a weekday so it wasn't too busy very peaceful. The lentil soup was warm and comforting, the hummus was super creamy, and the pita bread was fresh and soft. They make their own bread, and you could really tell it was still warm from the oven and had that fresh, just made taste. It was worth the wait time! I had the lamb chops over mendi rice, which was super flavorful and tender, and the portion was generous. The grape leaves were also good and juicy. The cheese pie might've been my favorite. (since I love cheese haha) Everything had that homemade feel, like a meal made with care. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! I will definitely be coming back!!

Just a huge no from us. We arrived on a slower time of day/week. A Wednesday around 2. There were about 6 patrons in the restaurant. We waited approximately 15 minutes to get our drink order and menu. We waited another 50 minutes to get our food. Once our food arrived, it wasn't very good at all. We had a huge feeling when we saw Cholula on the table as a condiment that this experience was going to be lackluster. Mexican hot sauce at a Mediterranean restaurant, so uncanny. The best food we had was the lentil soup. We love Mediterranean food, but this was the worse we've had thus far. From the wait time, customer service, and taste...never again.

This place was a delightful surprise. Everything was delicious and the portions are big! My absolute favorite was the mandy rice and lentil soup. The chicken kebab and beef tikka skewers was tender and flavorful. My husband got the beef kebab wrap and thought it was perfect. We found our favorite middle eastern spot. If you’re open to something new and is not in a rush, i would say go for it but go easy on them as they’re not fully staffed and prepares meals as ordered. Didn’t get our server’s name but she was a sweetheart trying to hustle and bustle through tables. We’ll be back to try their kunafa and other dishes.
