The Palestinian food here was absolutely delicious & so so much of it - we had to roll home! Thoroughly recommend this amazing place.

3 of us were at Habibi where 2 of us ordered the meze with grill course and the third ordered meze with meat. I was quite disappointed with how much the quality had dropped since my last visit almost three years ago. The grilled meat...we got tasted good. However, the meze dishes were quite unimpressive and lacked taste. One of the meze tasted like mayonnaise and was not edible. Two others included diced tomatoes and boiled broccoli in a tasteless sauce. Baba ganoush lacked seasoning. One of two meze with meat dishes had a sausage like meat which had a strange texture and taste. One positive was when we requested for rice wrapped in vine leaves, the waiter immediately obliged at no additional cost. The waiter was pleasant and very helpful but did not both English and Norwegian well which made it challenging to communicate with him - one of us did not want meze with aubergine but I think he misunderstood that all of did not want despite trying to clarify several times. However, when we later specifically requested for baba ganoush he immediately got it for us. The restaurant really needs to work on elevating the quality of their meze dishes!More

We were a family 8 dining there. As a vegetarian we had very limited dining options. Here we had an incredible selection of various small plates mezze platter. The owner and the staff well understood our dietary requirements and made us comfortable. We highly recommend...Habibi OsloMore

We were blown away by the mezze - each one delicious and loads for the 4 of us. No music so we could speak without shouting and great service too. The aubergine dish - can't remember the name- was truly amazing.

Some of the best food and service we have had. The restaurant is very cozy, with dark lighting and candles. The bathrooms are very clean. There’s a lot of cool lamps and Palestinian decorations. Its in a area with lots of popular restaurants (in the...city centre), so you will have to walk a bit to get there. The restaurant is often full, but we went on a Wednesday and reserved a table. The customer service is great, and the owner is super friendly. The food was amazing. We had lots of different mezas, and we couldn’t get enough. The bamia/okra was made in a very unique way and was great. The chicken and lamb was super juicy and tasteful. We had many different wonderful dips/sauces with our food, and the bread was served warm. There were so many unique mezas, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for stunning Palestinian food, or a pleasant ambianceMore

Its a nice restaurant that we have visited many times before. They earlier had more mezze platter and later you can add the ones you like more and 2 people can eat. However, now they have increased the prices of additional mezze which means you...have to order individually and sometimes its too much of hummus, and other dips than the actual food when you order individually.More

Avoid if you want a good meal! My partner and I ordered the mezze and were both very disappointed. For one, the tables are too small for the amount of plates they stack on your table (one on top of the other making it very...difficult to eat). They try to get as many customers in as possible meaning there is no space to move around which makes the atmosphere very overbearing. The portion sizes were pathetic. We were still hungry afterwards and assumed they had given us just one portion between two by mistake. Getting the bill and finding we had just paid 800kr for a meal that left us still hungry was a bit of a gut-wrenching experience.More

The meze for two was barely enough food for one. I never expect to leave a restaurant hungry, let alone after spending 800-. Some of the dishes tasted quite nice but I paid for a meal, not a starter. Cramped, noisy, poor service, never again.

This restaurant is down a bit of an enclosed alley which will drive your GPS crazy. The place was packed, but they did manage a table for us. I suggest making a reservation. I found the staff to be quick and efficient. You can order...the smaller plates but we ordered larger dinner portions, mostly because we were afraid that all the smaller plates would not fit on the table.More

Very mediocre food. My meatballs could have been from any Mediterranean country. There was nothing Lebanese about them. My friends veg mezze platter was bland. The service was good.
