I suspose everyone is entitled to their opinion. but I must admit the worst part of this website is people who feel they need to label a bad experience as a score of 1/10 rather than providing us with an objective review of their dining experience.
I have been to Habayib on 2 occasions and it is certainly not a world-class restaurant, but that is far from the point. The food and dining experience is great, and well in proportion of the restaurants in its immediate area.
We ordered only entrees and mains. The lebanese sausages were fantastic, juicing and really tender. For our mains we had the lamb and chicken skewers which were also well cooked and served with a wonderful side of rice and yogurt. As many others have mentioned, the restaurant has a nice cosy atmosphere, and great for couples.
In particular I thought the service was great. Not too annoying, and allowed you to eat and chat without having the overwhelming feeling that the staff are trying to get rid of you to make way for more customers. On the downside, I thought that the meals were a little expensive (in proportion to the restaurants in the area), and my wallet took a small hit!
Would definitely go again.

Nice looking restaurant with really bland food. I read these reviews and went their for a nice night out and I was horribly disappointed. I have many friends that are Lebanese and this very far from "home style"when it comes to flavour. Really too bad, nice looking place.

Excellent, fresh, home-style food. Everything is prepared with a lot of care, and the meals seem very balanced, nothing overwhelms or gets lost. This is friendly, comfortable place, with delicious food and surprisingly small bills, considering the size and quality of the meals. Highly recommended, this is my new favourite place to eat in East Brunswick.

Habayib is a beautiful restaurant, serving traditional and fresh Lebanese food.
I really like the kafta, and the service was warm and friendly, reminding me of being in Lebanon again.

I have been to Habayib a few times now and I have to say that I have never been to a restaurant that has felt like this place. The first time I went there I met the owners who treated me like a friend rather than a customer they had never met.
The food was wonderful and the coffee was excellent. I think that the people who have written bad reviews of the service at this restaurant need to pull their heads in as Habayib is the best Lebanese you will find in Melbourne and the service is sensational. It is not often that you see a place where the owners serve you themselves and are attentive to your needs, and the food is like they are preparing it in their kitchen at home. If there was a TV in the place I would have sworn that I was at their house for dinner.
I can't wait to take more of my friends there.

I went to this restaurant last night. Fantastic food and really warm service. I was a little dubious given I am middle eastern that any restaurant is good compared to my wife and mum, but I was really pleasantly suprised. It was really good. Well priced and great little restaurant.

My partner and I have been going to this restaurant since we walked past it by chance almost a year ago. I must say that always the food there has been of high quality and fresh, and for the prices charged it's great value. We really enjoy going once a week for our Lebanese food fix. The couple who operate the restaurant are the friendliest I've ever come across. The ambiance is cosy and quiet. A delightful dining experience!

This restaurant really needs to smarten up its act. As others have mentioned, the food here is extremely sub-par with apparently bought in and frozen products being widely used. Other food is certainly not fresh and service is far from attentive.
For the comical prices being charged for the frankly disappointing food here, you'd expect some sort of other entertainment to be included! There has been some attempt made at making the restaurant appear welcoming, but the experience really begins and ends there, nothing more to offer. A real pity, perhaps a reality check is in order here!
