Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

As a Kansas City local, I’ve been going to Habashi House for years, and it’s the first place I take out-of-town friends. Whether you eat meat or not, the flavors and textures here are crowd-pleasers. The classics are outstanding—gyros, falafel, tahini, tabouli, tzatziki—and the rice with perfectly toasted almond slivers is the fragrant stuff of dreams. In colder months, do yourself a favor and order the lentil soup; it’s simple, comforting, and deeply satisfying. Don’t skip dessert—baklava or the fig cheesecake—and consider a take-home pint of tabouli or hummus. Then pop next door to their market for spices to bring the flavors home. The setting is open and breezy, and the location in City Market puts you steps from other local favorites; if you’re with a group, everyone can find something they love and enjoy the covered veranda outside. For me, Habashi House feels like a little day trip to Petra, while being very much a part of my own hometown. Don’t miss it.

This is literally the best place to eat in the city. The lady who runs it does an absolutely fantastic job! and is so incredibly kind and caring and sweet. My card wasn’t working one day and she was gonna let me come back and pay for it the next day The food is always fantastic!!
