Habibi’s Cafe & Market

I just love this place, it amazing food and the staff is so nice and helpful. They have a store you can shoot after enjoying your meal.

This place is incredible. When i walked in i asked to see a menu. I didnt have high hopes for this place because i have had meterainian food several times and usually it has just been ok and edible and maybe fresh. Im not from around mb so this was pretty much my only option for this type of food which i like because its usually fresh.
Boy was i amazed!!! I ordered the combo beef with chicken and everything was fresh flavorful and incredible! The hummas was full of flavor and fresh! The salad was excellent. The beef was actually put together with spices and flavoring inside. The chicken was soo good.
On top of that the service was too
Perfect and friendly. The lady working there was very nice. I dont see it possible that a place could beat this place in terms of quality and value.
I cant wait to come back!

First visit after reading the great reviews. We were so happy with the food and service. Very generous meat servings with the Gyro’s. The combo platters were amazing. Lamb was melt in your mouth tender. Chicken was tender and juicy. Hummus was creamy as clouds.
Both the pistachio and the walnut baklava was top notch for dessert.
We stopped at the attached market after dinner for great selections of tea, Turkish coffee, sodas, Turkish delights, etc.
So much fun to take the family here and enjoy a delicious Lebanese meal in a casual and relaxed atmosphere.
We will be back on our next visit to MB.

For a mediterran place, this is pretty decent. If your looking for gyro and just any mediterrian food this is the place. I personally like good hummus and pita bread. Their pita bread was alright but not the best. As for my husband he’s been to dubai and qutar and had authentic hummus. He likes this place, however it can’t compare to what he had in those two countries. If your hungry and looking to try something new in Myrtle Beach, this is the place. The store is small and have enough seatings and customer service is great.

Don’t advertise New York pizza as a middle eastern market I mean come on! They don’t even sell by the slice being from New York I fail to understand that’s just ridiculous. A deceiving presentation but not surprised I mean then again every other place says Ny pizza and come no where close… cmon SC your not fooling anyone

Ethnic restaurants are a rarity in the myrtle Beach area, so we were very happy to find this place. We came here twice a month. We always got the sandwiches. The chicken pita sandwich was my favorite. The food is flavorful and authentic. They also have ny style pizza, which is also very tasty and again authentic as it doesn’t pretend to be ny style pizza, it is ny style pizza. They have a grocery store next door so you can grab some mideast treats as your food is being prepared. From the grocery store I recommend the Turkish cookies and the madjoul dates, which are so fresh the twigs are still attached. The fresh olives are amazing as well.

Called to order delivery and the girl on the phone paused and then said «uh, we can’t deliver to you tonight.»
Don’t know what type of restaurant has selective delivery at 5 PM during normal restaurant hours…
Very rude, won’t be going back.

I enjoyed the food very much but felt that the waiting time was quite unreasonable.
What I found very disappointing was the fact that the restaurant does not have any real plates, bowls, or even cups –only plastic! I felt that this degraded the atmosphere of the restaurant, since it takes away from the authenticity of the culture.
While I may have enjoyed the food, I think that I would rather spend my money on a more environmentally– and customer friendly restaurant.

Food is very good and authentic connected to a really cool market but don’t let this fool you, everyone that works here is a fucking cunt. Everyone is rude, very rude. The workers don’t respond to you, they roll their eyes and they act like anything you ask is a complete hassle. The food is good but everything else is bullshit. The only nice person is the lady that works in the market

Came in for dinner at around 3pm, we were one of two groups. One group was a family of 5, we were just three. Ordered basic platters of souvlaki and gyro.
We waited 75 minutes for our food to arrive… The other party was getting course after course of food all the while we received nothing at all.
The one saving grace was that the food was phenomenal. When I asked the waitress if they were going to compensate us for our hour and 15 minute wait, she said they would give us each a piece of baklava. That’s it.
Needless to say I’ll never be coming here again.

My family loved the food and the service!!! You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes here!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!

When I first ate here several years ago, the shish kabob platter tasted great. After the business was passed on to the owner’s son, the portions of the food shrank and the food lost a lot of flavor. If you eat here, you are going to get a mediocre Middle Eastern meal that will not be terrible but it will not be phenomenal either. Disappointed in the loss of quality.

Meh. I’ve had better. The food was just OK. They charge top prices for mediocre food in a deli setting. Portions are ok. Ingredients seem ok but not the freshest I’ve had. Pitas aren’t homemade. I ordered the mezze platter. Baba and hummus were alright, grape leaves tasted off, falafel were a little greasy and the tahini was watery. The tabbouleh was good though. My partner ordered the chicken platter. The chicken was odd… Weird color and taste. $ 30 bucks for 2 entrees… No. I’ve eaten at Mediterranean cafes all over the country and this place just doesn’t add up. Those are top prices in a deli setting. Go elsewhere.

Good food but not great and way overpriced for what you get. I’ve had better mediterranean/​greek food for half the cost. Not worth the money.

While on vacation I tried habibi’s and was happy that I came by on the last leg of my trip. Habibi’s serves as a market for middle eastern (Lebanese) foods and products as well as a pizza shop and finally the restaurant portion on the left hand side of it all. It is a quick dining place with limited seats and a small dining area. You order at the register and await your food. As a family we ordered an assortment of dishes the mixed kabob plate, gyro plate, pizza, and shish kabob. It was all very good and perfectly grilled. I loved the lamb and shish kabob dishes the most, and the gyro meat. It was all delicious and definitely a memorable experience. Definitely will stop by again if I make it up to Myrtle Beach soon.

Gyro is pretty much pre cooked and package. They just throw it on the grill to heat it up and slap it in the bread. Tzatziki sauce is far from Tzatziki. Mostly garlic flavor when you taste it.
Lentil soup is just like the one you can buy in a can at Publix. No difference.
NY STYLE PIZZA? yes if you think that pizza is pre-​made and sits there until someone orders it. That when they hear it back up in the oven for a few minutes.
I are way better Mediterranean and Lebanese food in Atlanta. Maybe that’s why I’m so harsh on them.

It’s not exactly the same as what I had in Beirut but it’s pretty close. It’s especially close considering where it is.
The cliché Middle Eastern eats are just cliché, not super great but not bad either. The fusion stuff isn’t bad either. Things Americanized like the falafel, kabobs, gyro, etc — stuff the tourist types know — is plenty good though not if you’re expecting the real in-​country authentic.
Step out of the box to the «real deal» eats and you get some fine food indeed. If you don’t know what to try, ask for suggestions.
Price: not exactly cheap and more than you’d expect from a corner market type place. It’s not as high as many other places though. Don’t expect fast food prices, it ain’t McDonald’s.
Location: west of the waterway right on the 501 frontage road. It’s not really a tourist part of town so don’t expect nearby things to do after you eat. It’s not far from the ocean though and 501 is easy to find.
Worth a try if you’d like something different than the usual tourist eats. Don’t expect the ingredients they get here are going to be exactly what they can get in the Middle East or even big US cities.

In my constant search for perfect hummus, I found Habibi’s. Get it to go or visit the market for things to make at home.
The service I received is only what I could describe as «awkward». It was a rather disjointed affair of both a standup ordering process and a seated menu server experience with a bottled water to drink.
The hummus, when it arrived, wasn’t bad, though it didn’t make as much of an impression as several of the other places I’ve had hummus.
The falafel was passable, though I believe the oil they used to fry it needs a change, based on my experience as a fry cook. The sauces and pita were good.
The grilled buffalo wings were a surprise treat, and quite tasty.
However, everything comes on a Styrofoam plate, circa 1980, back before we all learned that Styrofoam lasts 500 years and ruins the environment. That, along with copious thin paper napkins and plasticware means that if I lived here, I’d take my to-​go containers home and save half the waste generated.
Or heck, scrap that, and purchase your ingredients directly from the well stocked market next door and cook it all at home your way. The market has everything in it one can find on Devon Avenue in Chicago, which is nice.
The establishment also has New York style Pizza, which doesn’t surprise me, given that not many in this area seem to appreciate good Lebanese food.

My husband ordered the Gyro and I had the Shish Kabob pita sandwich. SO GOOD. Best we’ve ever had. The falafel was amazing as well.
The hummus was incredible. Kind of chunky, and had a really great texture. They completely hook you up on the meat portions and definitely do not skimp. This was definitely authentic. Reasonably priced too! Huge portions.
The service was great. The actual Deli is kind of small, and sits just off the market. There are plenty of tables for groups, and the staff was so nice to my son– so definitely kid friendly. There is something for everyone!
You could smell the amazing food from outside. We will definitely be returning.

Can’t say enough about this place! My team from work and I went there 2 nights in a row, solely because of the great uniqueness and excellently fresh food here.
The first night, we missed the hours on the door and strolled in right at 9 as they were closing up shop. Still, when we told them « Unilocal sent us,» they took our order anyway and made us some excellent grub. The second night, having arrived a bit earlier, we had time to check out the attached market while waiting on our food, which revealed more than a few hidden gems.
Overall, the shish kabobs were the biggest hit amongst the group, including our 99% vegetarian friend! The babaganoush was pretty awesome too. Don’t let the awkward strip mall scare you, this place is well worth the trip away from the typical Boardwalk on the Beach fare.
