Habibi Halal Lebanese cuisine - Lebanese restaurant in Hanoi

If you're looking for the best of the best when it comes to Lebanese food, this place is it. The food was magnificent: fresh, zesty tabouleh, perfect humus, and tender shawarma fresh off the spit, in very generous portions. The service was wonderful, the waiter was happy to make a couple of minor dietary adjustments to my order. The owner, Sultan, was gracious and professional, running a tight ship. Beautiful decor in a quiet nook outside of Hanoi's hussle. Perfect for a date night or a quiet family meal. We will return.

Very close to the original flavours we get in Middle East & Lebanon...i guess they changed a bit to Vietnamese style. But this is the closest it has ever got for Middle Eastern cuisine in Vietnam. Grilled meat is delicious, get that. Assorted hummus is amazing too, so yummy. The restaurant is very hot though...AC was not working properly at all.

Mark: Solid , better than average middle eastern places. 8.5/10 Note: No AC, inside a small alley. Big space. Food: + The mixed grill was excellent, the sheep shish kebab was very well seasoned and authentic, then comes the tawook (chicken) which tasted juicy and flavorful (different from many other places where it is usually dry). + However the beef was not really spot on. The dipping sauce was great but be cautious that they did charge 40k additional for extra Hummus so be careful (i got baited). I really enjoyed the food and the staff were really friendly and enthusiastic. I would recommend! (Quite expensive but it’s worth a try) Havent got a chance to try other dishes but prob comeback.

Habibi Restaurant is tucked away in one of those typical narrow Vietnamese streets just off the main road. It’s not difficult to find, but the setting gives it a slightly hidden, local charm. The building itself has an old-fashioned feel, with hints of its past character still visible, yet it’s clean and well maintained. The tables were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. The staff were particularly impressive—attentive, friendly, and efficient without being overbearing. The highlight, without question, was the food. I ordered a full platter to get a broad sense of their BBQ offerings, and it delivered across the board. The seasoning was well balanced on everything, which is not always the case with mixed grills. Even the shish taouk, which can sometimes be bland, was surprisingly flavorful. The standout for me, though, was the kofta kebab—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with taste. To finish, I had the kunafa, and it was genuinely excellent—rich, well-textured, and not overly sweet. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Given that I’m based quite far out in West Lake, it’s not somewhere I’ll visit regularly in person, but it’s definitely a place I’d order from again.

It was my first time having Lebanese food and I quite like it. I recommend the Lebanese Wings because it was at first kinda overpowering but it will grow on you. I also ordered the chicken mushroom tawouk and I enjoyed it. Service was great because the servers would help you if it’s your first time eating Lebanese cuisine by explaining how you should eat them. My husband devoured the dessert which was the Knafeh topped with sugar syrup and pistachios. Just a reminder that if you get a grab car, you need to walk in the alley like 3-5 minutes to get there. However, motorcycles could get you there with no problem though. Great place. Great people. Thanks and more power.
