Habibi Express Aruba: Quick Lebanese Shawarma & Falafel

Habibi Express is the quick-service Lebanese spot for shawarma, falafel, and Middle Eastern wraps when you want authentic flavors fast and cheap. Counter-service format, generous portions, fair prices, and food quality that punches well above the casual setting.

About Habibi Express

Habibi Express is built for speed — order at the counter, food in 5-10 minutes, eat in or take out. The space is compact and casual; this isn’t a sit-down date spot, it’s where you grab an excellent shawarma between beach time and dinner plans. Open lunch through dinner with consistent hours. Cash and card both accepted.

Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights

The chicken shawarma wrap is the menu hero — well-spiced meat, garlic sauce, fresh vegetables, warm pita. The falafel wrap is the strongest vegetarian option — crispy outside, herby inside, with proper tahini and pickles. Add a side of fries with garlic sauce; thank yourself later. Hummus and baba ganoush are both made daily and worth ordering as sides.
