Habbibi is a stylish all-day dining destination serving Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine. Located in Manchester and open for brunch, lunch and dinner, as well as traditional Sunday roasts, Habbibi is a popular choice for everything from relaxed catch-ups and large group bookings to birthday celebrations, date nights and special occasions. The restaurant also offers shisha, making it a lively spot for extending an evening with friends.
Inside, Habbibi strikes a balance between industrial design and softer, more inviting touches. Exposed pipework and polished concrete floors create a contemporary feel, while curved booth seating, oversized rattan pendant lights and flowing muslin curtains bring warmth to the space. Large windows flood the dining room with natural light, while greenery and a striking blossom tree add colour and texture throughout. A substantial bar runs along one side of the restaurant, contributing to its vibrant atmosphere and making it an appealing spot for pre-dinner drinks or late-night cocktails.
The Habbibi Manchester menu draws inspiration from across the Mediterranean and Middle East, beginning with nibbles and sharing dishes such as bread with za’atar, hummus and mixed olives. Fresh salads include a classic Greek salad, while larger plates range from comforting dishes like beef ragu pappardelle to tapas-style options such as bang bang chicken, calamari and orzo stew. From the grill, guests can choose dishes including flat iron steak, Black Angus ribeye and crispy chicken, while vegetarian-friendly options are available throughout the menu.
On Sundays, traditional roasts are given a Habbibi twist, with options including roasted prime Wagyu beef, roast chicken, herb-roasted salmon and charred aubergine, all served with classic trimmings and Yorkshire puddings. Desserts include the signature Golden Passion, featuring mango whipped ganache, alongside rich chocolate cake. An extensive drinks list features cocktails such as martinis, iced teas and Old Fashioneds, as well as wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks.
