Habibi Semoran Arab in Orlando - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of my fav little places in the area. Fernando is the absolute sweetest ever and the food is absolutely amazing!

I went to Habibi with my best friend on a whim one night and could not be happier!! Fernando made the most amazing food and gave us the best customer service I have EVER received. The chicken shwarma platter blew my mind as well. I have never had better chicken in my entire life, it melts in your mouth. Love this place and will be going back!

I don't normally like to write negative reviews, but this was not the experience I was expecting from a Lebanese restaurant. Lebanese are well known for their generosity and delicious food. This place has literally nothing to do with Lebanon. I ordered chicken shawrma sandwich combo. Chicken is dry and overcooked, fries are oil soggy, and it doesn't come with any sauce besides ketchup. The wrap wasn't fresh and started falling apart the moment I started holding it. Half of the chicken fell off the sandwich. Chicken is chunky, not thinly sliced, like how a shawrma should be. Overall, I'm disappointed and won't come back. Hopefully, the owners read this and do something.

Pressed unleavened bread around perfectly tasty falafel! Side of hummus tastefully seasoned! Plus Falafel platter with hot cooked potatos, Lebanese salad & stuffed grape leaves in delicious olive oil!

Taste less food Order chicken shawarma mix Shawarma falafel sandwich and Lam kofta sandwich. It was tasteless. Worse food I have ever tasted service was subpar. I told them I wanted to go, but the guy put it on the plate and said hey it's ready. I said no I wanted to go and gave me a look wasted$50 do not go cardboard taste better then this couldn't even finish half of a sandwich

I miss your food is the Better their pickles are the best they can do, I moved to Utah and nothing like their food I would eat here a thousand times

When I want to eat shawarma I do it here, I love it

The food was amazing, the soup tops and the service and attention from the owner/cook/operator was the best part. The ONLY downside was the extremely loud Puerto Rican restaurant next door. Thank you, kind sir, for providing a fabulous meal for us as we treated our uncle to a delucious meal out ❤️

Food was great, he’s the only guy doing everything, I got surprised how people complaint about this… thank you so much!

Authentic food, delicious taste

The man working was extremely pleasant and welcoming to us coming in. Asked us our food preferences and served up some amazing food. Taste is fresh and spiced perfectly! Would return again!

Wow this meal hit the spot. Super flavorful and healthy. They even threw in extra falafel and garlic sauce and I’m blown away. The workers there couldn’t haven been nicer too

This place has Way Better food than chipotle (a minute walk away) but 1/10th the crowd. Come here… have what seems to be home made Mediterranean food. price is 13 ish date is 7/20/24

The guy bald bearded guy is rude. Just seems irritated. And I understand that he seemed to be dealing with a catering order. But I don't know why I waited 20 minutes for pre-made food. Got the shwarma platter and it was very mediocre. The pita was dry and old tasting, the humus was extremely watery. And this location charges $1 for "extra" sauce, but they don't include any sauce to begin with. I asked for toum and hot sauce. He gave me tahini and a cup of red oil. The soda fountain was also out of order. The location near metrowest is much nicer and better tasting.

The place could use an update and paint, but the food is really good. It's a hole in the wall kind of place with Great food! I have been searching for a good Mediterranean restaurant in the Orlando area. This is it. The others are fast food chains and the quality isn't as good. The food is very flavorful. The cook is even from Palestine. Great food. Got the beef Shwarma platter.

The worst ever. Not taste. It’s like u eating fake food. The guy with the beard didn’t give me good service was busy watching tv.

While I typically refrain from leaving negative reviews, I feel compelled to share my first concerning experience with this restaurant. Although the food is delicious, I must express my disappointment with the inconsistent service. Despite being a repeat customer over several visits, I have encountered issues such as fluctuating prices, missing items in my to-go orders, and varying portion sizes. It is disheartening to see such great food overshadowed by these service inconsistencies, especially after giving the establishment multiple chances over the past seven years. Honesty and integrity truly make a difference in customer experiences. The lady so far has been inconsistent !

Amazing authentic homemade food

My family has always liked this place but lately they've really fallen off. The guy that's working there now is not welcoming at all. Our 2 lamb shawarma sandwiches were the skimpiest sandwiches we've ever had. I believe we each counted 4 pieces of meat, which were very dry, a tiny schmear of hummus, barely any salad. The side of hummus we ordered was bland and came with a single pita cut in 4. Extra pita is $1. I mean I know times are tough but I really felt like there were a lot of corners cut and the value just isn't there.

The best in town clean and testy

The best shawarma loves it ❤️ 💕 💖 it's really delicious 😋 yummy 😋 😍 😊

The only guy cooking and then the store seem to be a little Irritated at me for coming in there and not knowing the menu. I cleaned my own table. The food was delicious.

I went today with my family and the guy who was there, had a really bad attitude, horrible attitude, we were even scared of asking questions because all his responses were with a nasty tone and attitude. I’m not coming back.

Food was good but service was horrible. I have no idea who’d think to have such a rude and unfriendly server , like , hello, you’re working with customers, if you don’t wanna provide good customer service then switch jobs. Not only did he give us a bad look , but had such a bad tone and when my dad asked questions about the food, he decided to be vague w his answer and not helpful at all. When we sat down to eat, he literally went outside , and left the restaurant alone to go smoke, we wanted to order a dessert afterwards and literally had to go get him outside so he could charge us & we could pay for the dessert. How unprofessional!! If yall keep that guy as a server, you’ll lose lots of customers for sure and the business will go down. I def would not recommend this place to anyone and don’t wanna come back ever.

The quality of the food has dropped a lot and since Mr Fernando left the service is terrible… I will not return again…

Excellent food. We tried lamb kebabs and falafel platters. Everything was delicious, especially the falafel, hummus, and babaganoush. The cashier did not seem very friendly, or maybe he was having a bad day.

I know this place can do better, all of the potential is there, but it's like they decided to give up at this location

Food was amazing and service was just as good!

The services are not good. They barely smile or greet the customer well! Will never go back again

I don't know what happened here but before I ate excellent this deteriorated before I was served by a quality Venezuelan man and I didn't see him I ordered the shawarma but for me they lost the taste they had! Now I wouldn't go back, I'm totally disappointed, I don't currently recommend it!! There are better options currently I only ate there because it was close to the area but I would recommend shawarma to go and the king of shawarma!! So that they are safe with the investment!!

Food was subpar. I watched them microwave my rice??

Horrible food. Tasted old and reheated. The plates are sticky and dirty. Stay away from this place unless you risk of getting sick.

My go to order! The service is always amazing and the food is so yummy! 😋

Always love seeing Halal spots in Orlando! I tried this place out of curiosity and loved the food. Definitely coming back during my work lunches!

If i could give this restaurant 0 stars i would . The worst shawarma I've ever tasted in my life I don't advise anyone to eat there a disgusting restaurant 🤮 Shawarma has an unbearable smell , The employee treated as if he wanted to hit you i don’t why

I didn't like the food at this place and it doesn't compare to other Lebanese restaurants I went in Orlando and in Lebanon itself when I visited the country a year ago. I wanted to see the food and also the place, and I decided to buy the most expensive food, Mixed Kabob. I arrived in this place and it was completely empty and I didn't like all that food exposed and that Kebab meat that looked like it had been roasted hours ago, but because It was so dry and dark, it looked like the meat had been roasted the day before. A man was slicing that dried meat and putting it on the hot plate along with the chicken just to heat it up, but all the meat was dry, tasteless and hard. The rice and salad did not taste fresh. I saw another guy heating the rice in the microwave and putting together my order. It was tragic to see that. I requested babaganoush, but they gave me hummus. The only thing that was ok in the order was the pita bread. I was extremely disappointed with this place. I threw practically all the food in the trash for fear of getting sick because of the taste. There is a difference between food having no flavor and being fresh and having no flavor and not being fresh. The most expensive food I paid from this place with taxes, was $36, IT HAS NO TASTE AND ISN'T FRESH AT ALL! I won't be returning to this place again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm sorry for the comment. Ah, I strongly suggest to the guy who put together my order to take off his gloves before receiving money from orders, or change gloves, or find another specific person to receive money from others. Handling food and money at the same time is very unhygienic.

Not what it used to be.. brother working seemed like us being there was annoying him. Food was old because it seems so slow

Delicious and fresh. Very good service

This place is fantastic... it's my regular stop for a quick dinner near the airport. Food has never disappointed, friendly service.

It used to be a good place to eat..... Plates are TINY and prices are HIGH... Avoid

The food is absolutely delicious and very cheap also never too busy, and the service is fast and friendly! The only thing I could complain about is the atmosphere, a little too quiet for my liking and the booths and chairs feel a little outdated.

The food is not good There Service it is very poor Not recommended

Everything was awful. I had to throw away half of the food

We to tried the Shawarma platter and it was very good. Not like Tata, but very good. I recommend

El mejor Shawarma mixto que me he comido en muchisiiiiiiimo tiempo, todo estaba excelente incluyendo la ensalada Arabic. La atención 100/100...Si quieres comer rico y a muy buen precio debes venir

So much love from a palestinian customer ❤️

Horrible old food. So oily and no taste. I would never buy from here again. They over charge and give small portions of rotten food. Complained over and over again.

Great food been going for years here

The service and the food quality went down the hill. Food is not fresh specially the chicken shawarma and the meat is reheated many times. Don't be surprised when eating a shawarma sandwich to see burnet hard pieces of meat. Same with rice is hard and not fresh. On the top of that a worker who stands at the restaurant door smoking a cigarette then turn his back to go prepare your food. Terrible service. Don't waste your money there. Orlando has much better food options.

The shawarma beef was burnt and old, and the kabab lamb was made with beef meat instead of lamb. My kids cannot eat it because it is not like any kabab we have eaten before. The price was high, and the food lacked quality. Additionally, the tabbouleh was made without tomatoes.

I had ordered food via Door Dash, the food I had ordered, one they never sent me the Baklava, the lamb meat was very chewy I even ended up getting food poisoning. Reason why I gave them a 1 star rating

This place is amazing. I love the food. Every time I come to MCO, I stop by this place

Por favor coloquen el horario en la web. Fui a las 9pm y ya estaba cerrado.

If you order delibery, the food is terrible.

The food was so tasty and a great value, 3 sides with every platter. The people working were delightful to talk to!

Excelente comida y servicio del encargado. Lamentable que el restaurant no lo hayan renovado.

Excelente shawarmas! Me hicieron recordar a los que hacen los árabes en Venezuela!

The chicken shawarma and steak shawarma were very good. They had a homemade lentil soup that they that was very good. Will return

Excelente! Lugar familiar. Gran atención y la comida buenisima!

Excellent falafel and shawarma!

Amazing food, great customer service and Fernando the manager is super fun. Highly recommend the Babaganush!

A humble looking counter service place with a friendly owner and fantastic food. Ask if there are any specials that aren't on the menu (lentil soup on my last visit.)

We just had a brief dinner here, before checking into our Orlando airport, hotel, in anticipation of a very early flight in the morning. Counter service was quick and efficient. The menu is somewhat limited, but has everything you want: Hummus, salads, Shawarma, etc This is so much tastier, and so much healthier, than just about anything else you could eat, especially in this area. Plenty of chain food burger places, and casual dining places. They are all OK…at best. This was good and healthy and quick and Pretty reasonable. Definitely worth a visit.

Great food Made Fresh Great service

Delicious, reasonable price and quick service. I was just in town overnight and wanted something vegetarian, and this falafel sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had!

After a long day/vacation, this place was near our hotel and hit the spot! I love Lebanese food, and I got a platter with hummus, grape leaves and some falafel. Everything was tasty, although the hummus was a little heavier on the tahini than I prefer. My husband got a combo plate, and my kids tried the shawarma. My son decided he wants to go around the world eating shawarma, haha. The staff were also very friendly and gave us some free lentil soup to try and it was DELICIOUS.

Best restaurant I have had Arabic food in Orlando highly recommend food is delicious and they have great service

The food is not fresh. The place is not clean as needed. We will never go there again.

Muy buena la comida nos encanto

It's a beautiful restaurant but sadly it's empty. ... The service was okay. ... Food was okay. The salad and hummus was good. The beef and pita bread was dry. Yellow rice was reheated. Plating was good. And the soda was out of service. .. Price was okay too. ...

El señor es muy amable y nos atendieron súper bien, la comida también es muy buena, el único sitio del que me gusta comprar shawarmas

Terrible. Not authentic, messed up my order 5 times and I’ve only been 5 times, will never go back! And one of the workers came straight from the back threw away garbage and continued handling food with NO GLOVES ON. Horrible. No es auténtico, arruiné mi pedido 5 veces y solo he estado 5 veces, ¡nunca volveré! Y uno de los trabajadores vino directamente desde atrás, tiró la basura y continuó manipulando la comida de la gente SIN GUANTES PUESTOS. رهيب. ليس أصليًا ، لقد أفسدت طلبي 5 مرات وقد مررت 5 مرات فقط ، ولن أعود أبدًا! وجاء أحد العمال مباشرة من الخلف وألقى القمامة بعيدًا واستمر في التعامل مع طعام الناس دون ارتداء قفازات.

Delicious falafel platter served with friendliness.

Amazing food and Fernando was so kind!

La comida sin duda alguna no tiene ningún tipo de crítica, al primer mordisco me sentí en venezuela todo excelente y la atención de igual forma excelente, por otra lado solo recomendaría modernizar el lugar y los platos prestar un poco más de atención porque se siente algo grasosos en la parte de abajo pequeños detalles que marcan la diferencia, de resto los mejores shawarma que he probado y déjenme decirles que han sido mucho pero estos ganaron 👍🏻👏😋

Very tasty, decent pricing, clean place. Definitely going back.

I've been in Abu Dhabi and tasted great lebanese food and this was deilicious and cleaned. Highly recommend it!

So unprofessional customer service so rude for no reason

Excelente servicio y comida, gracias al señor Fernando! Recomendadisimo

Taste of Mediterranean. Food was great and really nice costumer service

The food wasn’t really fresh and tasty like it used to be. The bathroom was dirty, the tvs on the table were grease. The worst part is to see a GERMAN ROACH crawling on table towards the end of my meal. We left our food on the table got up and left. I willl never go back there to eat.

Customer service was poor. Extremely rude. I would’ve left if i was not starving and with family members

The taste of shawerma beef and chicken is BAD and has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AUTHENTIC LEBANESE TASTE ! The lady who is working there doesn't understand English nor Arabic we had to repeat the order 3 times and ended up having the wrong order ! PAID +100$ for wrong order ! The restaurant is over rated definitely NOT RECOMMENDED !

Good Arabic food made the traditional way. You can’t go wrong with their shawarmas! The babaghanoush is also very good

Excelente atención de parte del dueño! Muy buena comida!!

Service so slow one person working in the restaurant and the food is ok not the best

Buena comida y buena atención! El Shawarma con el sabor que buscaba!

Excelente atención y la comida muy buena

Best Shawarmas and humus in town. Great customer service. Reasonable prices. The restaurant is big and clean. Thank you for your help and great service Fernando. Please keep up the good work.

Got the lamb kabob platter and it was delicious! Garlic potato, tabouli, and yellow rice for sides. Everything was fresh and tasty. The owner was very nice and gave us treats on the house!

This place needs aloooot improvements if they want to go forward. Their customer service is so below average. Their welcoming to customers is very very low. Their following up to customers orders is disorganized and failed. I hope they correct their mistakes in future and know how to communicate with customers in respectful way.

i loved the service and food was incredible

Bueno shawarmas excelente nose los demas pero yo si vuelvo

Incredible food, great service, the guy working (I’m assuming owner?) was super sweet and gave us some lentils and falafel to try in addition to the food we ordered. Everything was fresh and super tasty. Highly recommend!

This is the best food in Orlando!

Fresh and delicious as always. The Lebanese Venezuelan cook he uses his mom’s recipes and said his number one ingredients in the food is love and you can definitely tell that. He really enjoys what he’s doing and wants the customer to experience mom‘s recipe his mom‘s recipes. I’ve been there over 20 times and it’s always great quality and tasting. He is there on Sundays and don’t forget to try the homemade lentil soup it is outstanding.

The food taste like it's expired and smells bad. I don't recommend it.

Rude service and place wasn’t clean and the food was lousy with no flavor

We were very excited to come here as the menu looked great. We walked in and two people were working. We came in, no welcomed or said hello, ok fine. Then we went up to the register to order. One of them glanced quickly at us and then went back about their business. No one asked what we wanted or anything. We literally just stood there while they were right there ignoring us. We waited a little longer but it was justbso uncomfortable. Despite how hungry we were, we just walked out. No customer service at all. We went to King of Falafel instead and it was a great experience!

Excelente comida . Pregunten por Fernando.! El lo va atender de maravilla
