    (Translated by Google) Best Arabic restaurant in Cologne! Those who like Arabic / Lebanese cuisine will love Habibi! Here tradition, quality, freshness and taste are really passionate and capitalized. The restaurant is known in and far beyond Cologne, for its authentic cuisine, as well as the small restaurant that is covered with music / film and cinema posters from top to bottom. The price / performance / quality ratio is absolutely unrivaled and is really unbeatable. The portions are really big, the quality and taste are always convincing and all employees are family-friendly and serve every guest with baklava, tea or freshly squeezed orange and carrot juice. If you don't know Habibi, you should definitely eat here and convince yourself of a fantastic restaurant! (Original) Bestes arabisches Lokal in Köln! Wer die Arabisch/Libanesische Küche mag wird Habibi lieben! Hier werden Tradition, Qualität, Frische und Geschmack wirklich mit Leidenschaft und groß geschrieben. Das Lokal ist in und weit über ganz Köln hinaus bekannt, für seine authentische Küche, sowie dem kleinen Lokal welches von oben bis unten mit Musik/Film und Kinoplakaten beklebt ist bekannt. Das Preis-/ Leistungs-/ Qualitätsverhältnis sucht absolut seines gleichen und ist wirklich unschlagbar. Die Portionen sind richtig groß, Qualität und Geschmack Überzeugen kontinuierlich und alle Mitarbeiter sind familiär freundlich, reichen jedem Gast Baklava, Tee oder frisch gepressten Orangen-Möhrensaft. Wer Habibi nicht kennt sollte hier unbedingt essen und sich selbst von einem fantastischen Lokal überzeugen!

    My partner used to live in this area. Today, he showed me around, and we ended up here. As we stepped in, the lively atmosphere embraced us, and my excitement grew. The music playing in the background added to the ambiance. The chefs crafting Lebanese delicacies, including mouthwatering falafel and succulent shawarma, showcased their culinary skills. The tantalizing aroma filled the air, and each bite of the food was a delightful explosion of flavors. The friendly staff enhanced our dining experience, making it a memorable visit. See you guys soon!

    I ordered falafel and shawarma sandwiches. The falafel was good and fresh. The shawarma was different from the authentic one I used to have in Lebanon. This one had carrot slices and there was no sign of garlic or pickles, but still it was okay. If you are looking for cheap and good food, then Habibi is the one 👌 I would also recommend the fresh carrot juice !

    A must experience in Cologne, so far the most delicious middle eastern cuisine, ethnically, tasty and fresh. The decoration is unique and individual. Staff are extremely friendly.

  • 5/5 Animesh K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best shawarma I had in Köln. Really full with the authentic flavors. People are very friendly and the food was worth the price we paid. Portions are really good.

    I've visited many times, and it’s one of my favorite places in Cologne! This spot consistently serves the best falafel and shawarma in town. With a menu featuring halloumi, falafel, and shawarma, it's a go-to whether you want to dine in or take away. Highly recommended!

    I had a plate of shawarma with hummus and salad. Hummus and salad were naturally cold and it felt like a cold meal. I learned I would have preferred a warm one. Next time. The walls and roof are covered with movie posters, making them a pleasant sight, useful especially if dine alone.

  • 5/5 Abdel Azziz Qaasim I. 3 months ago on Google • 106 reviews New
    Great Lebanese themed eatery full of movie posters and other Arab & Lebanese cultural decoration. Order your food at the counter and pick it up yourself. Works. You won’t get poor eating here. Imbiss price level.

  • 2/5 Manuel H. 3 years ago on Google
    The place looks like a restaurant in Jerusalem or Yafo. It had been an awesome place to get the vibes of the Middle East if the food would have met the expectations of an authentic Middle Eastern eatery. Unfortunately, the hummus is watery and without any flavor. One of the worst hummus I had in Cologne, and I’d call myself a Hummus expert. The Falafel are so so. And the other options on the glas display didn’t look mouthwatering. Not sure why this place is being hyped.

    Reading the reviews, I was expecting for the food to be super delicious, but in reality it was just OK. The prices were fine. The staff was very rude and impolite. Hygiene almost zero! Feeling very disappointed to have travelled one hour, only to have such an experience!

    Best Guru in Cologne! Really nice atmosphere, authentic. As a welcome drink they hand out tea with cinnamon. Enjoy the waiting for your order until they call you up to get your plate!

    The busyness of this place, people going in and out, noise from the kitchen, unique background music, people stopping by to chat with people sitting in... this place is so vibrant and truly amazing. What a great vibe!

    Normally a big fan of this place, but last week as I was paying for my food I saw not one, but TWO mice crawling under the salad counter .. Safe to say I’ll never be back!

    You want cheap and you want tasty + fresh? Habibi it is! They make your order super fast, the place usually has a small queue (there’s a reason why).

    For whoever is in charge of the kitchen, your Lebanese grandmother would probably slap you in the face and disinherit you right away after trying the food you serve in this so called Lebanese restaurant, I've never tasted such a bad hummus as the one they serve here, it literally looks like puke, the falafel is dry, the halloumi has no good flavor, the tabboule didn't taste fresh, and to top everything off, as soon as we payed, a mouse came out of the radiator next to our table, someone should definitely contact the authorities and shut this place down since it's highly unhigienic. I honestly don't understand the good reviews, maybe at a different time it was good but now I wouldn't reccomend to anyone. Save yourself time and money and go elsewhere.

    Gazing up at the ceiling adorned with film posters, I was captivated by the authentic interior decor. The music, however, was a tad too loud. Nonetheless, the food was delightful.

    Tldr: 5 🌟 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Habibi Köln, and was immediately impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they were happy to make recommendations. I started my meal with the Namaste, with Chicken, basmati rice, vegetables etc. The dish was flavorful and filling, and I especially enjoyed the fresh vegetables. I also tried the Baraka, the dish was also very flavorful, and I could taste the spices used in the cooking. To finish my meal, I had ayran, a refreshing yogurt drink. The ayran was the perfect way to cleanse my palate after the heavy dishes. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience at Habibi Köln. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in Cologne.

  • 3/5 Nael H. 2 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    The food is good enough for the very cheap price (3,50€). I go there quite often but I will admit that it is quite dirty and I did happen to see a mice or two running around in the building. The kitchen looks clean though. So would recommend if u don't intend on to eat on take away.

  • 2/5 Domas Z. 8 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    The restaurant has self service which I don't mind but was shocked that the food came immediately. The staff wasn't friendly. For them it was only to quickly serve the food and then serve the next one. The food was cheap but also very dry. For a cheap eat for a take away is not bad but for a sit down I am quite disappointed.

  • 5/5 Luka S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of a kind. Would always recommend.

  • 5/5 Giosy P. 4 years ago on Google
    Greatest shawarma and falafels I've had in Europe so far, hands down. The guys working the counter make you feel at home, to the point that "first you eat, then you pay", even at the busiest lunchtime of the week. Don't be shy, smile and enjoy Habibi to the fullest.

    Extremer Falafel ;) Wenn man zum ersten Mal den Laden betritt, werden die Sinne erst einmal überwältigt. Viel zu sehen, zu hören, zu riechen. Sehr interessante Deko die immer Lust macht, sich mal umzuschauen. Wenn man auf sein essen wartet , was wirklich nicht sehr lange war, schaut man einfach an die Decke und lässt sie auf sich wirken ;) Der Falafel hat wirklich tolle Gewürze! Das Makkali mit dem Extra Gemüse ist jeden Cent wert. Die Sauce mit Joghurt und Tahin ist sehr frisch und nicht zu überwältigend. Insgesamt sicher immer eine Pause wert!

    Had a great dinner here with my wife, and I highly recommend this restaurant. No matter what you get, I recommend drinking their homemade juice, it is a blend of carrots and orange juice and with the flavors of the shwarma it was an excellent meal. Habibi also only takes cash and you pay at the counter when you're finished with your meal.

    Veru good place for great Lebanese food and value for money. The plates are named uniquely and portion size is enough. The place is small bit enough seats for people. Their service is really very fast. You come, you take a table, order and in 2 minutes your food is ready. I liked the taste and also the presentation( how it was seved). It is also cheap. I would say its is must go place atleast once.

    (Translated by Google) I liked going here, but when I saw today that the meat for the shawarma was being warmed up in the microwave and everything was clapped together lovelessly afterwards, I lost my appetite. In the end, it tasted the way it was prepared ... Unfortunately, the good reviews don't match reality at the moment. Maybe it's the frustration about the lockdown ... who knows ?! (Original) Ich bin hier gerne hingegangen, aber als ich heute gesehen habe, dass das Fleisch für das Schawarma in der Mikrowelle warm gemacht und alles danach total lieblos zusammengeklatscht wurde, ist mir der Appetit vergangen. Am Ende hat es auch so geschmeckt, wie es zubereitet wurde... die guten Bewertungen passen im Moment leider nicht zur Realität. Vielleicht ist es auch der Frust über den Lockdown... wer weiß?!

    (Translated by Google) The falafel themselves are well done. But unfortunately the bread wasn't fresh. 😐 The Sharwarma is really terrible and has nothing to do with the original. There is fresh salad and carrots in it. The original Sharwarma is only prepared with pickled and garlic paste, because it is toasted in oil after rolling. So a kebab in Arabic flatbread! (Original) Die Falafel selbst, sind gut gemacht. Aber das Brot war leider nicht frisch. 😐 Der Sharwarma ist echt furchtbar und hat nichts mit dem Original zu tuhen. Es ist frischer Salat und Möhren drinn. Der original Sharwarma wir nur mit eingelegtem und Knoblauchpaste zubereitet, weil der noch nach dem Rollen in Öl getoastet wird. Also ein Döner im arabischen Fladenbrot!

    (Translated by Google) I have been a Habibi customer for several years and enjoy not only the fresh, delicious meals but also the humanly tolerant atmosphere. Arabic and Hebrew lettering. This is how peace works. Even now in Corona times, Habibi is on. Unfortunately, you can't sit there now, but you can take your food home with you. Habibi has a unique flair and the prices are cheap. Habibi is something special. (Original) Ich bin schon seit einigen Jahren Kundin bei Habibi und genieße nicht nur die frischen leckeren Mahlzeiten sondern auch die menschlich tolerante Atmosphäre.

Habibi hat ein einzigartiges Flair, und die Preise sind günstig. Habibi ist etwas Besonderes.

    Best Fast Middle East Restaurant in Cologne. The offer of dishes is wide and for any taste. They have vegan variants. I ate here the first time in 2005, the Sharwarma and Falafel prices has remain the same for over 15 years. That's already a solid arguement. The atmosphere is relaxed, you seat, eat and then you pay. The food is very fresh, since the Restaurant is always bussy, and have a huge reputation. The travel and food guru Anthony Bourdaine featured in his former Show when he visited Cologne. The owner has travel all over the world, the restaurant is full with souvenirs, posters and pictures.

    Super cheap, pretty fresh falafel and shawarma. Good spicy sauce. One of the better ones I've tried. The falafel plate is pretty healthy too, you get hummus, 6 falafel and a pretty good assortment of salad. It's a must try.

    Habibi was one of my fav place for chicken shawarma for their quality and price. I recently ordered a takeaway ‚namaste‘ platter. The chicken had literally gone bad. I could literally feel the spoiled taste. I wasn’t happy about it and will not recommend this place anymore to my friends

    Absolutely delicious falafel and grilled cheese. Cheapest döner-sized stuff I've ever seen in Germany so far. And, they even give you free tea, and the cooks/servers are nice. Would highly recommend

  • 5/5 Tiago M. 1 year ago on Google
    Habibi is an institution. If you don't know this place yet, then just get moving and go try it. The falafel of this place has saved countless lives from depression, heartbreak, and alcohol poisoning. Affordable and tasty, and with free bathrooms on site (!) what else do you need!?

    Delicious Flafel and good taste shawarma. The place is simpel with unique Arabian traditional atmosphere. Prises for sandwiches is reasonable. I just think it needs to renew the walls and the ground.

  • 5/5 Nouman Q. 1 year ago on Google
    You'll be transported to back in time in Beirut on entering this restaurant. You'll forget that you are in Köln, Deutschland for your time there. It's a very small restaurant and your back might be touching to other guests when you're eating your food but that whole cosy experience with such a delicious food is what that restaurant is all about. We totally loved the food and the overall experience. The food is prepared like the old times on gas stoves in cast iron pans and everything is served fresh. The platters are also nice looking and easy on your pocket. It's nothing like your local kebab shop as everything is freshly made. So many vegetarian options as well. One of the best Lebanese restaurant i have been to.

  • 5/5 Merlyn M. 8 months ago on Google
    Visited Habibi over 4 times in total now, and everytime we visit we tried a new plater and everytime it was delicious. I truely enjoy the ambience of this place with old posters and pics.

  • 5/5 Kamoranesi 1 year ago on Google
    Habibi is a household name and has been around for a long time now. They are incredibly fast, food is always delicious and fairly priced. Since it's in the student quarter expect it to be jam packed most of the time. You'll get your food fast nonetheless.

    The best authentic Arab food in Köln, I used to go there alone or with my friends, We had lovely times and precious memories. The owner and the staff are great and easy to talk to! I will come back again!

  • 5/5 Mert �. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delicious. Shawarma and Falafel are both tasty in a wrap, and sold at a very reasonable price. You can also get them in a big plate with a variety of vegetables. Atmosphere is good, covered with film posters. They also have a small coin collection from all over the world. Service was fast on a Sunday night, and there were many available seats for enjoying the food inside on a cold winter night.

  • 5/5 Molly A. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious lunch at Habibi! The fresh carrot and orange juice was so good, as was the falafel & halloumi wrap and shawarma plate I shared with a friend. Would definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Milena G. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything we tried was very delicious. Portions are huge (in my opinion). The stuff is so polite . They put everything left in a box for take away. This place in Cologne is very busy. Literally Fast Food Restaurant. Not luxury at all but it’s wonderful place to feel the atmosphere of the busy town.

  • 5/5 Johanna T. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious, efficient and affordable 🩷 fresh tabbouleh salad, falafel that are well-textured (grainy inside, crispy outside), sitting on tasty hummus. Very well-flavoured rice (with peas) with well seasoned chicken shawarma - paired with orange and carrot juice... Surrounded by friends in a cosy ambience - this place is amazing 😍

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Habibi, and it was an incredible experience that transported me back to the ’90s in the best way possible. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that oozed ’90s nostalgia. The decor, with its neon lights, retro posters, and vintage furnishings, made me feel like I had stepped into a time machine. It was like reliving my favorite decade all over again. But what truly stole the show was the food. The menu at Habibi is a delicious throwback to the flavors of the ‘90s, with a modern twist. I couldn’t resist starting with their take on classic chawarma, and they did not disappoint. The chawarma and foods were pure perfection. The service at Habibi was self-service, which feel like you are in your home, friendly staff who clearly share a passion for the ’90s theme. They made sure every aspect of the dining experience was enjoyable. I can’t recommend Habibi enough, especially if you’re a fan of the ‘90s. It’s a place where you can indulge in delicious food while basking in the nostalgia of one of the greatest decades. I’ll definitely be coming back for more trips down memory lane.
