We had such a fantastic night at Habiba’s Smokehouse. Not only kosher but honestly one of the best meals we’ve had in ages. The food was full of flavour and so well done — we shared everything and loved every bite. The nachos with pulled beef were a great start, and the main platter was a proper feast: perfectly cooked duck breast, melt-in-the-mouth smoked rib, crispy onion rings, grilled corn, fries and a stacked burger with cheese, egg and Facon (fake bacon — and it totally worked). Desserts were next level — the chocolate fondant with ice cream was gooey and rich, and the strawberry sundae was fresh and indulgent. Service was warm, friendly and made the whole evening feel special. We really enjoyed the inventive mocktails as well!! A real gem of a place — kosher food done with confidence and heart. We’ll definitely be back.

what a fabulous dinner at habiba's last night. my friend jonathan and i enjoyed a feast of smoky delights. smoked chicken wings and nachos to start, followed by beef wellington and then deconstructed lime pie, which didn't seem too deconstructed but was delicious nonetheless, as was everything else. the restaurant was busy and buzzy. service was excellent. mind you, we had a table for two right by the kitchen service station, so everything came out hot, as it should be. it was a first visit to HS for both of us and could not have been better. to paraphrase mr schwarzenegger, we'll be back!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Habiba's Smokehouse, and we are ready to declare it the Best Kosher restaurant in London by far. This is not just a meal; it's a truly exceptional culinary event that sets a new, incredibly high standard for kosher dining. The meat selection is, of course, the star, and the quality is absolutely second to none. Our group of six happily shared an unbelievable feast: The Shared Shoulder and Lamb: Simply divine. The slow-smoked preparation resulted in meat that was intensely succulent and tender, melting in the mouth while being wonderfully flavoursome. Every bite showcased the incredible depth of the smoke and the quality of the cut. The Smoked Backbone Rib: A must-try! This was cooked to perfection, offering a robust smoky flavour and a delightful texture. The kitchen clearly takes immense pride in their offerings, providing good portions that ensured everyone left completely satisfied. Beyond the incredible barbecue, the experience was elevated by the drinks menu. The well-balanced cocktails were a highlight—clearly made with much thought, care, and attention. They paired perfectly with the rich, smoky flavours of the meat. In every aspect—from the unparalleled quality of the meat to the generous portions and the masterful cocktails—Habiba's Smokehouse delivers excellence. We highly recommend a visit to anyone seeking London's finest kosher dining experience.

Amazing Dining Experience – A Must-Visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the Backbone Rack of Ribs, and it was hands down the most delicious thing we’ve ever eaten – truly one of a kind! The flavors were incredible, rich, and perfectly balanced. You won’t find anything like this anywhere else in the world. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the owner adds a personal, welcoming touch that makes the experience even more special. This was our second time dining here, and without a doubt, we’ll be back on our next trip to London. A little tip: Arrive early if you want to get the Backbone Rack, as it’s limited and sells out quickly. It is perfect for 3 people or 2 very very hungry ones. Highly recommended – this place is a gem!

Been waiting to come here for ages and so glad we did for our anniversary. The pulled beef croissants were divine. We weren't going to get the special but felt that it was a special occasion so why not? The beef wellington did not disappoint. It was perfectly done. We then ended with a chocolate souffle which was the perfect balance of light and rich. Zev and the team were amazing and even gave us a lemon meringue on the house which my wife tells me was delicious (unfortunately, I can't eat lemon). We will 100% be back.

From the moment we sat down, it was clear that Habiba’s Smokehouse is all about bold flavors, quality ingredients, and a real passion for great food. The chumus topped with pulled beef was rich and satisfying, the loaded fries were packed with flavor, and the short rib was fall-apart tender. Both burgers were juicy and full of smoky goodness, and the chips were perfectly crisp. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, rounding out an amazing meal. The only downside was the long wait for food, and it would’ve been great to have some bread or small bites while waiting. That said, once the food arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. The quality, presentation, and care behind each dish really shone through. Can’t wait to return!

Food was delicious, service was quick. All the food was presented perfectly and there was lots of nice colours in all the dishes. Flavours were 10/10. Victoria our waitress was very calm, polite and pleasant. It was a very busy Sunday (a full house) yet we never waited more 15 mins for any course. The honey gazed tangy beef was something special (we ordered that twice). They had a few gluten free options as well. I will definitely be returning :)
