Habbouz Tunisian Cuisine

Habbouz Tunisian Cuisine, a small, family-owned eatery located just off the I-17 in north Central Phoenix, bills itself as Phoenix’s first and only Tunisian restaurant. Luckily, there’s more to recommend this no-frills eatery than pure novelty. Owner and chef Nabiha delivers spicy, fragrant dishes like ajja merguez, a lamb sausage and egg dish served in […]

Hachi Ramen

This friendly neighborhood ramen shop offers four basic bowls – tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, and a house bowl called the Hachi Special – along with delicious sides like homemade karaage chicken, which is beautifully battered, juicy, and tender. Hachi Ramen also delivers a highly flavorful miso broth, which beautifully complements the kitchen’s wonderfully melty slices of […]

Haiku Tokyo

Haiku Tokyo is a trendy, fast-casual restaurant specializing in poké bowls and Japanese ramen.

Haji Baba Middle Eastern Food

A no-frills Middle Eastern grocer and counter-service joint, Haji-Baba serves well all who enter: students from nearby Arizona State, lunching business-casual types, families, couples and in-from-out-of-towners. For cheap and delicious eats in metro Phoenix, this place is hard to beat. The lamb tongue sandwich is one of the true wonders of Tempe eating; other standouts […]

Half Moon Sports Grill

At first blush, Half Moon might seem to be strictly a “guys night out” kind of bar. After all, pictures of half-exposed hineys are scattered throughout the establishment, the wait staff consists almost entirely of young and attractive women in form-fitting tank tops, and there’s nothing but sports on all the TVs. If you look […]

Half Moon Sports Grill

Your eyes will get a workout inside this North Phoenix jock joint. Besides its abundance of attractive waitresses and bartenders you’d swear do some modeling, tasteful photos of almost-uncovered derrières hang from the walls. If you prefer to watch sports instead of indulging your voyeuristic tendencies, more than 50 HDTVs are tuned to ESPN, FSN […]

Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting

One of the Valley’s not-well-enough-known gems, the world’s largest such museum showcases memorabilia and restored antique equipment. The permanent “Safety House” installation allows kids ages 4-11 to search for hidden fire hazards, dress up in firefighters’ gear and climb aboard a vintage fire engine.

Halo-Halo Kitchen

For fans of both Filipino food and karaoke, this family-owned restaurant on the city’s west side has them both. On one side there is the eatery, a bright-white room of Filipino baked goods and groceries leading to a turo-turo, or “point-point” setup of meats and prepared stews which doubles as a place to order your […]

Hambone Sports Bar and Grill

The first thing you’ll notice at this neighborhood bar on Mesa’s Main Street is that you can smoke inside. That’s because there aren’t technically windows, just screens, meaning it’s actually one large enclosed patio. (The bar switched to this model after the 2007 statewide smoking ban.) The staff says the Hambone dates back to 1956, […]

Hana Japanese Eatery

This busy family-owned operation north of Seventh and Missouri avenues is overseen by co-owners Lynn Becker and chef Lori Hashimoto, a true treasure of the Phoenix chef scene. The place is known for well-crafted sushi and sashimi – yellowtail, tuna, salmon, crab, albacore and whitefish. We like the squid maruyaki, scallop edamame kasane age, Hana […]
