"I recently ordered the roasted chicken with rice and chips from Yalla Habibi in Watford, and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations! The chicken was perfectly roasted—juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The rice was well-cooked and complemented the chicken beautifully, and the chips were crispy and fresh. It was truly a finger-licking experience from start to finish. Beyond the food, I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the shop. It’s clear that hygiene is a priority here, which made me feel comfortable and confident about ordering. The staff were incredibly welcoming and polite, providing excellent customer service with genuine warmth and professionalism. Overall, Yalla Habibi offers a fantastic combination of delicious food, a clean environment, and friendly staff. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or ordering a full meal, I highly recommend giving them a try. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!"

"You can tell the team put so much effort into what they do - the food was seasoned perfectly, everything from the meat to the salad was fresh and delicious. I had the mixed lamb and chicken shawarma wrap and it was SO good. The price was really reasonable considering the portion size. The service was also friendly and kind! Highly recommend this place, just a short drive from Watford Junction station"

"Amazing establishment for quality food. Super value for money in terms of pricing vs portions. And in my experience value can sometimes be at the cost quality. Quite the opposite here.. the tastiest chicken Shawarma I've had the pleasure of endulging in. Then tried lamp, wow. Very juicy and tasty. Roast chicken to enjoy anytime of day, I saw these bad boys flying out the door, so my review is too late, everyone in Watford seems to already know how good this food is."

"This family-owned gem deserves all the love because once you try their food, you’ll know exactly what I mean They opened a few months ago and they are serving some of the best halal rotisserie chicken I have ever had. The prices are ridiculously cheap for what you’re getting, and if you’re a gymbro like me, this might be the ultimate cutting meal. Anyone can make rotisserie chicken or shawarma, but perfecting the seasoning, tenderness, and flavour is a different story, and Yalla Habibi have absolutely smashed it. P.S: You used to be on Uber One for me so I didn’t pay any delivery fees but now I have to pay £7 to get it delivered to Colindale so I would request if you could please fix that.

To top it all off, the owner was so warm and friendly. It's clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Will definitely be coming back again"
