The Best Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Restaurant in Terrigal (And What to Order When You Get Here)

If you’re searching for the best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant in Terrigal, you’re probably looking for more than just food.

You want somewhere that feels warm, relaxed, and full of flavour. Somewhere you can sit down with friends or family, share plates, and actually enjoy the experience — not just eat and leave.

That’s exactly what we’ve built at Señor Habibis.

A Mediterranean & Middle Eastern fusion, built from our story

Señor Habibis is a reflection of our own background and upbringing.

I was born in Türkiye, and Ainslee’s heritage is Portuguese — and together, our menu brings together the food we both grew up with.

It’s a natural blend of:

• Middle Eastern flavours

• Mediterranean influence

• family recipes and traditions

This isn’t fusion for the sake of it — it’s personal.

It’s the food we know, the food we love, and what we’re proud to share with Terrigal and everyone who visits.

A different kind of dining experience in Terrigal

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dining isn’t about ordering one dish per person. It’s about the table.

It’s about:

• dishes landing together

• bread being torn and shared

• conversations that stretch longer than planned

• and that feeling of abundance

At Señor Habibis, the experience is designed to feel like you’ve walked into someone’s home — warm, generous, and full of life.

A lot of people say it feels like visiting a grandmother’s house. That’s the best compliment we could get.

What to order (we’ll make it easy for you)

If it’s your first time, or you just don’t feel like thinking too much, here’s the easiest way to do it:

Go for the Habibi Feast

It’s built exactly for this kind of dining — shared, generous, and balanced.

You’ll get:

• Lamb kofta with labne, pickled chilli and walnuts

• Chicken skewers and veal shawarma with hummus and golden rice

• Scotch fillet with garlic yoghurt and fermented chilli butter

• Hummus topped with slow-cooked lamb neck

• Sarma (vine leaves)

• Plus dips, bread, pickles and sides

It’s designed for 2–4 people and covers everything you want from a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern feast without overthinking it.

If you’re unsure what to order — this is it.

More than just the food

The space itself is a big part of the experience.

It’s layered, warm, and full of character — not polished or formal. The kind of place where:

• tables feel lived-in

• drinks keep flowing

• and no one is rushing you out the door

Add in cocktails, wine, and a bit of music as the night builds, and it becomes more than just dinner.

Why locals keep coming back

We see a lot of the same faces, and that’s always the goal.

Not because it’s a “special occasion” place — but because it’s somewhere you can come regularly, bring different people, and know you’ll have a good time.

It’s consistent, it’s welcoming, and it feels easy.
