Our story · Yallah Habibi
From Syria,
with love.
Authentic Syrian food, handcrafted sweets, and a warm welcome in Staten Island. Come for a meal. Stay for something sweet.
Our roots. Your table.
Our family’s story begins in Syria, where food brings people together and recipes are shared across generations. At Yallah Habibi, we bring that spirit to Staten Island through the flavors we grew up loving.
What began with Middle Eastern desserts has grown into a full restaurant. The heart of it is still the same: generous hospitality and food made with care.
A little savory. A little sweet.
Make a meal of chicken shawarma, the Habibi Sandwich, loaded fries, or a shawarma quesadilla. Then save room for golden Kanafeh, creamy Kashtota, Baklava, or a freshly prepared crepe.
From Turkish coffee to matcha and fruit refreshers, there’s something to sip alongside every favorite. Traditional flavors and new creations share the same table.
Come as you are.
A family meal, a coffee with a friend, or a dessert just for you—there’s a place for it here. We want every visit to feel welcoming, relaxed, and full of flavor.
Find us at 949 Jewett Avenue. Your next favorite is waiting.
