    Excellent food, layback casual environment, free hot tea. Falafel platter is my all time favorite. Friendly and helpful staffs. The hummus was very creamy and smooth. $20 is enough to feed a hungry couple.

    Great option since middle eastern cuisine is not common in the Midwest. Helpful staff for my first time ordering this type of food. Would recommend the lamb dish (think gyro meat) they served me for my first experience. Definitely take the free hot mint tea as it compliments the flavors.

    We love the food from habashi house, and we love the baklava so much that we ordered it for dessert for our wedding. The staff were very responsive to my emails and had the baklava promptly ready for pick-up on the day of the wedding. Our guests raved about it. Best baklava in Kansas City.

    My friends and I have eaten lunch at Habashi House almost every Saturday since 2010. The beautiful Maisoon Habashi is always smiling when she takes our order. The food is cooked fresh and is the best Middle Eastern food I have eaten in the city. My favorite is Shawarma Hummus, House Combo with Chicken and Pita Kabob, with a side of their hot sauce.

    My family has been coming here for 20+ years. My grandfather immigrated from Palestine and this is where we would take him for great middle eastern food when he'd come to visit. He loved this restaurant and so does my entire family. I recommend getting the combo plate and add a meat. All of their food is fantastic, but the combo plate lets you have a little taste of everything. Very affordable, welcoming family run restaurant.

    The food is amazing, but what sticks out to me is the patient staff. I wasn't sure what to order. It was my 1st time. They were kind and helpful. They walked me through and answered all my questions with a smile. This is some amazing food.

    I came here for a quick bite, and ordered the chicken sandwich. I waited around 30seconds-1 minute for my food, and the food tasted great. The rice that came with the sandwich was good. The service was good. Will always remember the wait time. If you’re from out of town and looking for some good food, I would recommend Habashi House.

    This is the place to go if you want amazing hummus! Have had other food here, but return for the hummus! Service has always been top notch and they are receptive to reasonable requests. Atmosphere isn't anything special, but it's clean and it's not like there are exponentially better atmosphere options at the market. Will be back!

    I wish there were 6 stars. Really authentic middle eastern food. Very nice people. Try the market next doors as well. Note the art on the wall everywhere. We ordered gyro. Falafel, hummous, taboleee.....u can’t go wrong. Everything is so delicious. And Oh! Free mint tea. Unlimited refills.

    This was a solid place to eat. I enjoyed the gyro and the tzatziki sauce was very flavorful. I didn't feel bloated and disgusted with myself like I get when I eat at American chain restaurants. I just wish I could have had maybe another side to my $10 if I am just getting a small gyro and a little rice. Other than that it was quite tasty.

    The food is delicious. I got the house combo with beef shawarma. They had mint tea, water and soft drinks. You can also buy hummus and other sides to go. Their hummus is best I've tasted. Service is good and everyone was nice

    Surprisingly good middle eastern food in the city market circle. Love the hummus and the meat. I ordered a basic beef shawarma dish, came with really good hummus, beef and some pita. Enjoyed every bite. Maybe it would be even better if the meat was hotter. But highly recommend this place and will be back if I am here for lunch.

    Why are there only five stars? It should be 100 stars. Amazing place, food and staff. No where else could compare to how delicious your dishes are. No food photos to add because I always inhale it too quick.

    I had the gyro sandwich and salad. Delicious! My buddy had the gyro plate with hummus and he tore thru it, meaning it was really good. I work 2 blocks away and will be going back!

    Very fast service, especially if you go on during the week. Paid about 12 bucks for a gryo sandwich with a side and they offer free mint tea for customers. Beautiful atmosphere full of middle eastern art.

    Love this place. Best pita bread I have ever had. Had the pita kabob with the Greek salad. All I can day is yum. Love the flavors of this place. Cant get enough of this place. Great family run and family friendly restaurant. You have to try to spicy hummus. It is absolutely delicious. Carry out they are still serving delicious food here.

    This is an enjoyable restaurant with a pleasant service and atmosphere. For $10-$13 a plate they actually have table delivery and give you a free tea, which is pretty nice. Hummus and kebab items are five star dishes, but the salad was a disappointment. It was waterlogged and overloaded with too many banana peppers & vinegar. It has a great vibe and decor. And a picture of me. It can get busy so it might be hard to find a seat from time to time.

    The food here is delicious. Try a shwarma. Its kind of like a gyro. The sitting area is pretty cool and has rugs and heavy pillows. Cool decor and the whole feel is definitely Middle Eastern. The service was great. If you're trying to get out of the norm and try something tasty but not too risky, this is your spot.

    We were there for the open air spices. 3$-4$ a scoop and a scoop is about 3/4 a cup. Tons of otherwise hard to find spices and many middle eastern specific items like pickled lemons. Good prices and friendly store keep.

    Hibachi House is a culinary haven! In love with their diverse menu and impeccable flavors. As a devoted patron, I'm hooked. Each dish is a masterpiece, Can't wait for my next visit; I'm a dedicated repeat customer!

  • 5/5 S X. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best middle eastern places I ever tried. The highlight is the rice which is one of the best I ever had, it's flavored not just bland white rice you get in many turkish restaurants. Also the beef skewer is exceptional, very succulent. Food get to you very fast!

  • 5/5 Megan b. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal! I absolutely loved the food. We got chicken/ beef on hummus and loved it! However we did get the gyro meat on hummus and did not love. The menu could use a little more solidifying as I thought I ordered the same thing both times I ordered ( loved it so much the first time had to get some to go) and ended up with the gyro meat. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Wait time for us was a little longer. Maybe 10-15 min, but cooked fresh.
