Yala Habibiz Reviews
Nice place if u like shihsa, mint tea is good and staff are helpful
It was my first time at this place. We went on early Friday evening it was cold but they have a heated deck. We wanted to experience it and asked about it. They were yet to open it, but they accepted our request and started warming up the deck. Then we were moved there and had 2 hookahs the service was to the point. They do not have food options in house but have a middle easter restaurant just next to them who provide table service. The shawarma was awesome. They accept only debit or cash. The place get filled up pretty quick so do make sure you give yourself some time.
This place was a hidden gem that we found out of the blue. Firstly, the atmosphere and the privacy per table were so amazing. The place was huge so there was more private seating on the out side as well. Music I loved (hip hop). The colors, the furniture and designs were so nice. A regular shisha with basic flavors was 22. The staff came and checked on us and even checked on our shisha from time to time. I really appreciated that. We were able to buy whatever food we wanted in their restaurant which had a separate entrance. Then we sat and the delivered the food and drinks to our table (but they had to be in take out containers per law). Food was good, we ordered the mixed shawarma plate, super delicious Their pita with hummus, omg so delicious. But we ordered their potatoes and those tasted off...like no flavour and tasted old We couldn't eat those so we left it. I think the sides were about 6. I was craving roasted potatoes so too bad I couldn't eat them. But the other food made up for the difference. Plenty of parking. We will definitely be back!
Mazen is an excellent Guy. He is always on time and takes care of his customers well. He has a great smile and makes everyone feel comfortable. He always has a good attitude and is a great asset to your cafe.
Habibiz is my go to shisha place in Scarborough. Over time the staff has become friends, like family! They are very welcoming (Ahmed, Gagan, Mahmood, Bilal, Faiez, Karan, etc). It’s very spacious, has a great mix of music genre. Enjoy hanging out with friends here. The Habibiz House shisha mix is really good & the OVO mix is amazing! Pre-covid the entertainment of Belly Dancing with the fire and snake would be pretty cool. Posted quite a lot of pictures and videos (I still have a lot). Thanks Habibiz! :)
Good place to chill with friends had visited more than 5times but recently came to know that we can dine too. During the recet visit they asked to buy two for 4 people which means 2 pax 1 smoke. I am not much into sheesha so i felt like its uncessary. Anyways good place loved the mint flavour and the inhouse flavour too
Get orange head, get coconut charcoal, you must! Would last you a long time. Any flavor would be great with this setup. Great hookahs, great service, great vibes. Would go here every time I’m in the area.
The chicken is actually really good
