Habibi is a lush French Moroccan supper club will debut on a waterfront spot on the Miami River in the late spring. Helmed by Ikam Rebaia in partnership with Roman Jones, Aris Nanos and Mark Lehmkuhl, these hospitality titans have come together to create a destination that evokes a royal escape to the French Moroccan Riviera while drawing on vibrant bites and cocktails, and an enchanting nighttime scene.

With nods to Moorish architecture, the design of Habibi will be a captivating immersion into the aesthetics and vibrant culture of the Maghreb.

Mark Lehmkuhl’s Ghosthouse Design Group x Love Jayne Studios is Inhabiting a tent-like structure, inspired by luxurious riads- Habibi welcomes guests on a captivating visual journey,
echoing the fiery atmosphere and unique traditions of French Morocco.

Alhambra design elements on the outside and a 30-foot long red carpet entrance set the tone for the opulent atmosphere inside with a dining room outfitted with crystal chandeliers, Turkish rugs, velvet booths and silk draperies.

The restaurant has a capacity for 200 and will include an outdoor patio with plans for sunset parties as well as a bar adorned with hookahs that will also feature one-of-a-kind tableside hookah service with customized infusions and flavors.

Nightly shows of roving belly dancers, contortionists and percussionists who will circle the dining room will enhance the nightlife-as-theater experience.

The menu encompasses a variety of tasty continental and Middle Eastern shareable dishes appealing to a broad range of palates, with highlights like Merguez Pigs in a Blanket, Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Charred Wild Mushrooms, Lemon Roasted Chicken and Herbed Yogurt, plus comfort food like Wagyu Burger Sliders, Miso-Honey Glazed Sea Bass Skewers,
and a selection of sushi, complimented by sips and tea service. Tableside dessert carts will include ice cream with Turkish mastic and Halva cheesecake.

The bar program at Habibi draws on the North African and Mediterranean lifestyle, showcasing
unique ingredients and flavors that induce a strong sense of place. In executing this motif, the beverage team employs techniques like fat washing – the process of toasting seeds to pull out their oils and infusing them in spirits overnight – to achieve rich textures and bold aromas.

Habibi Miami is due to open Spring 2024.
