We set out to bring our fans some joy in a difficult time with our #12DaysofHiba competitions, but we couldn't have predicted that some of you would make us smile in return.

Nina was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2018. During her stay in ward T16 at UCLH, her friend introduced her to Hiba fare. Nina kindly nominated the staff on the ward, telling us why they deserved a treat. Manager Mohammad remembered her orders, and the whole team was touched by her story. We decided that we'd go one better than a voucher and send some of our favourite wraps to the incredible doctors and nurses on T16.

And best of all? Nina found a bone marrow donor (who just so happened to be Palestinian)! We're so lucky to have friends like you, Nina 💜 Oh, and happy birthday! @ninaketoes

Welcome to this week's #12DaysofHiba competition!

Welcome to this week's #12DaysofHiba competition!
Win £25 to spend at Hiba Express, Mini Hiba or Hiba Street.

This week, we've devised a logic puzzle! You may want to draw this table on paper. Fill in the grid with crosses as you go to help you eliminate wrong answers and work out the right ones.

Managers Osama, Mohammad, Khabab and Moath have gone on their breaks. They've each decided to order a mezze dish to keep them company. Can you work out who ordered what from these clues?

1. Osama didn’t order the houmous or the tabbouleh.
2. The warq inab was either ordered by Mohammad or Moath.
3. Of Mohammad and Khabab, one ordered the houmous and one ordered the warq inab.

To win:
1. Solve the puzzle using the clues above.
2. Send us a DM on Facebook or Instagram, telling us who ordered what.

You have until next Wednesday at 12pm to enter. One entry per person across Facebook and Instagram. The winner will be selected randomly and announced on our pages. Voucher valid for dine-in and collection. You have until the 31st December 2021 to claim your prize.

A chance encounter with a customer led to the pain

A chance encounter with a customer led to the painting of the incredible mural now gracing the basement lounge in Hiba Express. Mohammad Saba'aneh was dining quietly in Hiba when he got chatting with the manager, Khabbab. Mohammad was stuck in London during the first lockdown and was trying to get back to Ramallah, his home. The next thing Mohammad knew, he was staring at a blank wall, a beaming Khabbab and a handful of paintbrushes.

It was early morning, when we welcomed Mohammad to Hiba and let him loose on the wall. As Mohammad painted for nearly twelve hours, he told us about his life, travels and passion for art. Between coffees, the image of a Palestinian woman in a field emerged. It tells the story of eternal hope as she gazes over fields and fruits against the backdrop of the Al Aqsa Mosque. The embroidery on a woman's sleeve used to represent her birthplace, along with her economic and marital status. The signed mural is now the centrepiece of the downstairs seating area at Hiba Express.

Mohammad is a member of the International Cartoon Movement. He lectures internationally on caricature and publishes his work in Arabic papers such as Al-Etehad, Al-Quds Al-Arabi, Al-Ghad Al-Ordoni and Al-Akhbar Al-Lubnanieh. He is also the author of White and Black - Political Cartoons from Palestine and Palestine in Black and White.

You can follow him on @sabaaneh and see his iconic work on http://www.sabaaneh.com
