Habibis Hookah - Allston

First and foremost I would definitely say the customer service is amazing. It didn't take long before my friends and I were greeted seated. The parking around the area is decent but they do not have dedicated parking so prepare for street parking. The servers frequently check up on you and always have a smile on their face. We order Tea and they did not let our cups go empty for long big kudos to them. I didn't not buy Hookah because I don't smoke but I did buy food! I've tried their Baklava, Arabic coffee, Hummus, Mint Tea and their Mixed Shawarma Platter. The food that I had eaten was small in portion I ordered a lot but was not nearly full. Typically Platters are made to share, but honestly I could have eaten 4 platters on my own and not even have felt half full the way the portion sizes are. The Arabic Coffee was in an extremely small cup 1/4 of your palm size and was not worth the $6 to get it, not only the coffee but these choices were some of the most expensive on the menu. The bread to hummus ratios was pretty scarce! Their Mint Tea tho was my absolute favorite, I drank so many cups, I would comeback for the tea alone. Aside from the food the themes, art, and structure of the restaurant is unique. They have round couches, unique Calligraphy, and beautiful lighting throughout the establishment. As someone who is foreign, it gives a feel of home, and I truly enjoyed scenery the most.

The hookah is both expensive and of poor quality. As for the food, we ordered the Chicken Shawarma Platter at HABIBIS, and believe me, it was the worst platter I've had in Boston. The chicken was dry, and the rice was difficult to chew, likely stale. This was a terrible experience for us. To make matters worse, they added a $25 tip without informing us or giving a heads up. Please avoid this place! Restaurant stated, they would charge 5% for 5 or more people. This clearly shows their motive to deceive customers like us. We were a group of 4, not 5. As mentioned before, this establishment doesn't prioritize customer care. Therefore, I strongly advise everyone to avoid this place!

Great hookah and it's not too expensive as well. They give you tea. I definitely wish they had some drinks but I don't think they have a problem with you bringing your own in. As well, they have a decent amount of food but they definitely need to work on keeping their bathrooms clean.

Don't like it, the place is not clean, charges a bit more than what I expected, and staff behavior needs improvement

I don't review the food or the place first because my interactions that create an experience are with the staff who create the atmosphere of the place. It's a connection that immediately occurs and doesn't happen with everyone, because not everyone greets you with sincerity. Someone greeting you with a sincere smile is different than one that is insincere the number of facial muscles involved is very different. Sebastian M and Juan I delivered an experience that made me feel like part of the family. Thank you, my Habibi! Sebastian's and Juan's recommendations were spot on, and they were not rushed to explain to me as I do ask one too many questions, but it does pay off. Mario Boutros, I return to the Habibi Lounge simply because I felt like Sebastian and Juan made me feel like family. Simply, they treated me with respect and did it with a smile...a sincere smile that is something that is missing in this world. Thank you for a wonderful experience. لا أراجع الطعام أو المكان أولاً لأن تفاعلاتي التي تخلق تجربة هي مع الموظفين الذين يخلقون جو المكان. إنه اتصال يحدث فورًا ولا يحدث مع الجميع ، لأن ليس كل شخص يرحب بك بصدق. يختلف شخص يرحب بك بابتسامة صادقة عن واحد غير صادق عدد عضلات الوجه المشاركة مختلف جدًا. قدم سيباستيان م وخوان إ تجربة جعلتني أشعر وكأنني جزء من العائلة. شكرًا لك ، حبيبي! كانت توصيات سيباستيان وخوان في المكان ، ولم يتم تسريعهم لشرح لي لأنني أطلب سؤالًا واحدًا كثيرًا ، لكنه يدفع. ماريو بطروس ، أعود إلى صالة حبيبي ببساطة لأنني شعرت أن سيباستيان وخوان جعلاني أشعر وكأنني في العائلة. ببساطة ، عاملوني باحترام وفعلوه بابتسامة ... ابتسامة صادقة هذا شيء نادر في هذا العالم. شكرًا لك على تجربة رائعة.
