Habibi Lebanese Grill sits on Royal Street in the Marigny, working through a menu of Mediterranean-spiced grilled plates: chicken and beef shawarma, lamb and kofta shish kabobs, lamb chops, and chicken tikka, each served with rice, grilled vegetables, and house-made sauces like garlic sauce, tzatziki, and tahini. Schnitzels come in chicken, veal, and pork versions, and hand-rolled grape leaves are stuffed with rice, ground beef, and Mediterranean spices.
Mezze fills out the rest of the menu — hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, labneh, tabouleh, and fattoush — with baklava and Turkish coffee or mint tea to close. Saj-bread sandwiches wrap shawarma and falafel for a quicker version of the same flavors.
The restaurant is locally owned, and regulars point to generous portions, attentive service, and a wine selection that stands out for a spot like this. NOLA.com's Where NOLA Eats named the kebab one of the city's best in 2025.
