AMAZING FOOD!!! I googled traditional Arabic food and this place came up. I called in and ask for a recommendation as I did not know what to order. I was told the lamb and beef kebab and half chicken. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! I cannot reccomend enough.
Oh wow. Hidden gem. Beautiful atmosphere . The food is delicious. Always been a gyro girl but the beef shawarma is my new go to, Talk about a flavor party in your mouth. And get this you can watch them prepare your food Yum Yum.
Halab Cafe offers a fantastic dining experience! We tried the chicken burger and the cheeseburger, and both were delicious. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and well-prepared. The service was friendly and quick, making it a great spot to enjoy a satisfying meal. Highly recommend giving it a try!
I discovered Halab Cafe while searching for some good Middle Eastern kebab, and now it’s my regular takeout spot. Their LB kebab over rice is for two, comes with four juicy ground lamb skewers over rice, all for under 20 per person. Every time I ask for extra tomatoes, they hook me up without charging. Their kebab wrap is awesome as well. I’ll keep coming back!
Great authentic Syrian food and super nice staff
I would have taken a picture of the food beforehand but it was too good to waste any time. My family and I devoured the food, coffee and tea. Very good all the way around! We’ll be back for sure.
