Habiba's Ethiopian Kitchen, Syracuse NY

A very nice Ethiopian restaurant in Syracuse. We got veg and chicken platters that allowed us to try a lot of different items on the menu. Very good food & ample of seating space. Reasonably priced as well.

My friend & I wanted to try something new today for our friend date. We decided on Ethiopian cuisine and I wanted to try this location for awhile. The service was good, but we found hair in our food. The lady apologized and refunded my money.

I'm consistently impressed by the staff's willingness to accommodate special requests and their dedication to making every visit enjoyable.

Habiba’s is incredible: the food is delicious, and it comes with an infectious smile that consistently brightens our day. We heart the beef tibs and veggie dishes.

Delicious- what talent! We got the chicken and beef sampler platters.both amazing. She makes the injera on site in what looks like a tiny kitchen.so impressive! If we lived in Syracuse we would probably eat here weekly. Or more often!

Discovered them at Taste of Syracuse. Plenty of plant based options, food is amazing, and I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu.

From a real Ethiopian, this is not real Ethiopian food! I ordered Tibs and Beyanetu Doro (which should have been a giveaway b/c I've never heard of that) and both were awful. I never, ever leave reviews but it was that terrible, that I had no choice. Any Ethiopian person would agree that this is not remotely close to real, traditional Ethiopain food. But for other ethnicities, I want to let you know that Ethiopian food is 100x better than this.

Delicious! Had the vegetarian selection platter and it was huge and very filling. Mango smoothie very tasty as well. Good value for money!

Naturally, that type of cuisine is not for everybody’s taste. However, if you’re in the mood for a vegetarian quick bite somewhere in downtown, Syracuse, you simply cannot beat this place.

Moving to Syracuse as a vegetarian has been a little rough, but Habiba's has so many delicious vegetarian options. The Shiro Wot is incredible.

The customer service was also great. They are very kind.

Superb. Had the 2 chicken -3 veg plate. The veg inluded a dal, a saag-like greens dish, and some potatoes-carrots. Perfectly cooked. Chicken was flavorful and tender. My favorite part? They give you extra injera bread to mop up all that goodness. In the Salt City Market, so really worth going.

Delicious food. Chicken a little dry but great flavors and spices. Always a fan of Ethiopian food

Had Injera. Worth it. Its fills your stomach and is very tasty. The food is halal. Its an entrepreneurial local business. The ambience is really nice. The hub is very close so you can travel and go to Salt City Market and eat at this place alone or with family and friends

The doro wat was very dry! The beef Siga wat was tough & very hard to chew. The Gomen had little to no flavor. I'm used to more flavor, sauce and garlic in my ethiopian food. I live in rochester ny but i travel for work so i decided to stop in syracuse on my way to my hotel. My hotel is 40 minutes further from syracuse. I've been to a few more places besides habibas in different states & none of the restaurants compare to the ones in Rochester, NY. The detour wasn't worth it.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. It was so flavorful and filling and I absolutely enjoyed the experience. I was just visiting and I can't wait to explore some of the Ethiopian food near me. I love the blend of spices and flavors. I love to cook but would never attempt to cook this as I imagine it wouldn't taste like this. The flavors are layered. I loved this so much that I kept eating after I was full.

Delicious food and friendly service. I had no idea what to get, so a lady kindly explained the different options to me. Super helpful!

One of my favorite places! My friends and i love coming here especially for their injera bread and some combo plates. We'll never get tired of the food here. Superb!

Desire. Go support my sister from Ethiopia she is a good cook. The taste of injera is delicious plus different dishes. East African food is delicious. Habiba kitchen is the best delicou

Habiba’s Ethiopian Kitchen opening day in Salt City Market. I have been meaning to try this place ever since I heard about their opening and was blown away by the quality and the flavors of each of the selections. Each bite that was taken was full of balance with earthy, spicy bliss. The food is full of love and as you eat, you can feel how nourishing it is for one’s body.

I got the Yebere Beyaynetu which is a choice of 2 beef dishes and 3 vegetarian dishes. I ordered Gomen Besiga (beef stew and collard greens in a curry broth), Siga Wot (beef cubes slow cooked in berbere sauce and mekelesha), Misir Wot (red lentil stew with berbere, tomato, black pepper), Shiro Wot (middle one, ground chickpea stew with curry and berbere), and Kaye Siir (chopped beet stew with potato, onion, garlic). Everything was served on injera with more on the side. Injera is a fermented pancake like flatbread with a spongy texture.

Whatever you end up ordering here will tantalize your tastebuds and have you coming back for more.

LOVE Habiba’s! I first had their food back in 2020 at their old location (loved it then too), so I wanted to check out their new location at the Salt City Market.

Wow—just as good as I remember! I got the Yebere Beyaynetu (2 beef dishes and 3 vegetarian) with chef’s choice. Everything was delicious. They were super friendly as well!

Already can’t wait until my next visit. Wish I got a photo of their setup, their restaurant sign is gorgeous!
