Wow, what an absolute gem of a place the falafel wrap was absolutely amazing and so tasty. This is coming from a non-veg eating kind of person so very much surprising how tasty and flavoursome the food at Habibah is. Much more than this the staff are all very friendly, welcoming and warm people. Made the experience all the more enjoyable. Hope Cheltenham support this gem of a restaurant as very high quality ingredients and lovely people running it. Well done guys . Amazing service

If you’re looking for the freshest falafels and salads in town, look no further than Habibah Cafe! The falafels are perfectly crispy on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. You can taste the freshness in every bite! The salads are vibrant and packed with flavor—each ingredient feels like it was just harvested! Flatbreads are prepared just in front of you and they are my favourite Habibah team is adorable and friendly and the cafe is very authentic and cosy. I highly recommend giving this place a visit! The best soul food you can get in Cheltenham

Excellent fresh vegetarian Mediterranean choice. So healthy and wholesome. When done you don't feel stuff at all. No gluten is used instead the wraps are made of spelt. Suleiman is an amazing host

Best Falafels I have ever had Packed with flavour and a great portion choice. Small for an average day. Regular Pita or Flatbread are really filling for when you have a busy day. Always worth the walk from the other end of the high street. Lovely family run independent business and highly recommended
