Nice and casual set up here , never went inside as the patio you can walk right into. Spaced out seating, nice high top tables. The menu is a mixed bag, bit of everything. Wines and beers, good mix. We got the house Rosé, which was really good . Took ages decide one because we were talking , but our server was super sweet and kept checking back. Chose to not do a appetizer as we wanted more entrees! Went with the chicken shish taouk , Marinated chicken, served with whipped creamy garlic sauce , with yellow rice, with grilled tomatoes and onions. This was amazing and plentiful. Loved the rice and the chicken, fell off the skewers, love the garlic sauce, very garlicky! Very middle eastern. Then we got the cottage pie, which is like Shepard's pie but with beef, if your making it right! Nice cheesy and potato topping, the meat was amazing and tender, and with peas and carrots as it should be. Came out piping hot too. Loved this. Very British, so a diverse universal menu. The dessert which is the only one they had, I was disappointed they didn't have more as I'm not a fan of bananas on my desserts. The Banoffee pie, is a gingery shortbread kinda base, topped with sliced bananas and whipped cream and raspberry sauce. I tried the base and the flavor was really good as I love ginger. Only problem was that it was really hard to cut into. My friend loved the bananas and cream. The raspberry sauce was really good too. If they could make that crust softer would be better. Great place overall...with a lot to chose from. I loved the casual atmosphere. Maybe add some more desserts! read more

Simply Fantastic!!! The only reason I'm giving 5 stars is because I can't give 6! The two of us had the Mediterranean Veggie plate and the Habibi Grill, and treated it like tappas. Taste like homemade in a kitchen run by a gifted chef. Truly impressive. We will be back!!! read more

Having lived in the Middle East I have to say this is the worst rendition I've ever had. I ordered the kafta kabob. It was gristly and just plain bad. I left both kabobs uneaten. The rice was beyond bad - it was overcooked rice-a-roni. The rice is the crowning glory of Middle Eastern food!! That, a Diet Coke and a shared hummus (which was good) was $34 without tip. One and done. Finding good ethnic food here is just impossible. read more

If you're looking for authentic Lebanese food, it's here. It even has the ambiance of restaurants I visited in Lebanon. If you love toum, you'll love theirs. The fries are amazing. The dip appetizer was amazing. All of it reminds me of my mom's cooking. This is definitely a place to go all of the time even though it's 30 minutes away from me. The restaurant owner came to speak with us. The waiter was awesome too. I can't wait to go back. read more

Food was excellent. Hearty portions. My 7yr old loved the lentil soup and grape leaves.

Was really looking forward to our dinner here, but the attitude of the waitstaff really ruined the experience. You can tell it's a definite trickle down from the owner/manager- he leads with the bad attitude. The food isn't good enough to put up with the rudeness. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Visited this spot for the first time during Christmas in Davidson. We were greeted at the door by the owner and other staff. They were very friendly and welcoming. The owners father was also working the room, helping serve food to tables and seat guests. He was very funny and quick with a joke. He was not just entertaining. He seemed like a long-time friend. The wait for food was no long and did not disappoint. The flavors and smells were amazing. Everything was so fresh. The portions were perfect. Drinks were also quite good. I had the Davidson old fashioned which was crafted very well. We can't say a bad thing about this place. read more

You would never guess this hidden gem of a restaurant. I had the stuffed mushrooms and lamb shank and both were incredible. The service was friendly and prompt. Would highly recommend read more

Habibi Lebanon is an absolute gem in Davidson, North Carolina. We found this restaurant while visiting the area, and we are so glad we did. The food and service were both excellent, and it left us hoping we have another chance to make the trip very soon. We started off with the Jebneh with Lebneh cold appetizer, and the grilled halloumi cheese was perfectly cooked and so delicious. The platter also comes with various spiced Lebneh dips and pita bread for dipping as well as some Kalamata olives. The dips were such a treat with the Lebanese wine that we ordered to pair with our meal. We also got the Chef Signature Mixed Grill and the New Zealand Lamb Shank, both of which were delicious and huge portions. The standout for me was the kafta kebab -- perfectly spiced, flavorful, and moist -- especially when paired with the garlic toum. I was also pleasantly surprised with the beef kebab because I'm not normally a big fan of steak, but this was so well cooked and so well seasoned. I also loved the shrimp which had a wonderful chargrilled flavor and was a lighter option on the platter. The lamb shank was also cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully -- such a rich combination of spices, especially with the onion gravy. And as delicious as our food was, the meal was made that much better by the wonderful and friendly service we had from the moment we walked in until we walked out the door after chatting with the owner/chef. Not just our server, but other employees as well made us feel welcome. It was a great meal and experience from start to finish. We wish they had a location where we live, but we will definitely come back l next time we visit the area. read more

Excellent food and Excellent service. I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. Pub style restaurant. Family owned. Been here few times; and their food is always freshly made. read more

We came to restaurant x wanting to use our offline offer on the last day that we could and they refused our service saying we needed reservations even though offline doesn't say anything about reservations being required. Their website suggests reservations for parties of 5 or more. There were only two of us. We drove 40 minutes to get here to be denied services. They claimed that they were waiting on 24 people with reservations but we waited around for about 10 minutes and none of the "24 people" with reservations showed up. There were about 5/6 empty tables in side that could have accommodated my friend and I. They didn't even give us the option to take food to go. Will never return read more

Ate here three weeks ago and should've reviewed immediately. Owner and his mother are the real deal. They visited my table, recommended wine, apps and a delicious lamb entree. The menu and the name have been retooled and everything is better. The Banoffee pie is multi layered and decadent. It is clean, local and quaint. Put it on your list. read more

Top restaurant in Davidson by far! Do not waste your time at kindred or flat iron - the service doesn't come close to the quality of Restaurant X. Get the pork chop, you won't regret it for a second! Worth every cent - locally owned and operated! read more

We had a lovely first meal at Restaurant X. Great small restaurant feel, wonderful covered patio seating area where we could sit outside and enjoy the nice spring air. The staff is family and we felt catered to like VIPs, very timely and friendly service! Each of our kids found something they wanted and we both enjoyed the seafood trio dinner that was presented very beautifully and tasted delicious! We cannot wait to return and try more items. We really had a great meal all around! read more

Went here for my birthday... honestly wish I had chosen somewhere else. That was in March and I can still get irritated when I think about that dinner. Food was good - unfortunately the service was a train wreck - just really unprofessional and unpleasant read more

Was very disappointed with the fattoush salad. In fairness I'm from the Detroit area where we have a ton of truly amazing Lebanese restaurants...but this salad was not a fattoush salad. And not having protein options at dinner for the salads is just wrong. My husband enjoyed his food but agreed it didn't compare to what we are used to. read more

Great food and service, drive from Charlotte to try. We are Lebanese and loved the food and service!!

In response to the owner. Thank you for responding to my review out of the other 1 to 2 star reviews. I'm not understanding the obvious disrespectful tone in the response however....my plate clearly does not mirror the standard of your "top selling item" I think you have me mistaken I did not finish my plate or leave a jacket. The lack of accountability and accusations from an owner is disgusting when giving a fair unbiased review read more

Excellent after Church Brunch We've lived here for 21 years and I know there have been some recent changes but they have only been for the better. We attend Church probably no more than 200 yards up the street and used to come here fairly often but the cuisines were bland and too predictable They have been closed for several months after a motorist lost control and took out part of the front of the building. Opened again and my wife and I chose to drop in after Church yesterday. Still a British theme restaurant do er opted for traditional fare. My wife went with the Banger and Mash and loved them Last time I had the Banger here was several years ago and I was somewhat disappointed but from the look of the big moist and plump sausages, they were dead on. The Mashed Potatoes were excellent and definitely home made and portions were more that ample. Shepard Pie is one of my favorites but at the last too restaurants I ordered Shepard Pie at, I was very disappointed. More like from a Food Service Company as opposed to home made. Not here. Definitely home made with good chunks of meat as opposed to ground beef. Savory vegetables in a thick rich broth topped with mashed potatoes before it was popped in a proper oven and served nice and hot. This was Shepard Pie the way it should be. Service was excellent and owner came over and introduced himself which was a nice touch. Dining area is a bit cramped but better on warmer days when the patio is open. All in all, excellent with great food and service and a place I would definitely recommend. read more

I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is friendly, welcoming and service oriented. Personally, the pork chops are truly fantastic. I can't get enough of them.

If you have, I'm sure you know what I am talking about. read more

It was surprisingly open on New Years Eve (12/31/22) and we were grateful as the food was divine and the service exceptional !

Aside from having the best fries in Davidson, the staff really takes this place to another level. Everyone is incredibly friendly and you are treated like family. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

We came over to this restaurant because we bought a LivingSocial deal. The decor doesn't tell much about the restaurant but WOW the food is absolutely fantastic! People usually gather in Davidson to have brunch at Toast but this restaurant is as good or better than Toast. The staff is extremely friendly and they were always checking on us. I had the Steak Benedict (sounds yummy no?), my wife had the omelet and my kid had the pancakes. All of the dishes were outstanding. We read online about the dessert Banofee Pie and I ordered it - WOW!!! Amazing!!! This has become now a spot for us on Sunday brunch :). read more

Habibi Lebanon - Eggs Benedict with Steak - Mediterranean Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

The food was okay, lentil soup very good. Annoying part was the father who was helping the son. He had to make his presence known, explained his life story in first 10 mins being there. I used the mens room "quickly" before leaving. Came back and he took it upon himself to pour my wife a half glass of wine while I stepped away, and laughingly said, you left a woman alone. What the hell does that mean? So, a patron hits the rest room and you make an ass move? Wouldn't have bothered me if he asked my wife and I if we'd like a half pour on the house, as I paid, always do. Meanwhile, the son was the only one tending the bar, so he snuck around as soon as I walked away. Pretty sleazy move from a place you expect to provide good service read more

Gracious service and delicious food in a cozy dining room/bar, with additional outside patio seating available. Our table of four enjoyed a variety of dishes and top favorites included the meat pies, the appetizer kibbee, and the tabbouleh. The shrimp kebab and fresh pita were delicious. The owners/chef were very accommodating with our various questions and requests. read more

I went in tonight to give this place a try. I only eat put once a week, and this was my pick. Very cramped space. I was ignored,and then finally when I asked about placing a to go order, I was told they were not taking to go orders this evening. I love Mediterranean and middle eastern food, and am new to the area and was looking to find my place. Oh well, it won't be here. Plenty of others in the area. read more

Reserved a table for two here for 2/12 (for Valentine's Day) when I couldn't find reservations anywhere else. Looked at the menu, looked decent, tables looked on the fancier side. Pulled up and was immediately skeptical with the neon "Open" sign and the overall look of the restaurant. Food was WAY overpriced, they asked us to write a review no less then 4x our $13 bottle of wine was priced at $50. Food was mediocre at best. We won't be going back. read more

Lovely place. Kind staff. Great patio and of course good food! We had the Mediterranean beef kebabs which we great. Their mussel appetizers were a nice way to start the evening. We had a nice time and we'll be back again! read more

Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and great food. I'm almost scared to let people know about this neighborhood gem!

Brought my wife here for Valentines Day dinner. What an amazing meal! They were offering a Valentine's Menu that was full of delicious options. Even a Vegan option. They are offering it tomorrow from what I read, tempting to come back We had Seafood Soup, crab stuffed mushroom caps as appetisers. The entrée was a crab stuffed flounder (me) and an Ahi seared tuna on risotto (wife) though we split and share. Nice presentation and simply delicious. The dessert was out of this world. We ate one at the table and took the other home. Best food in Davidson, even compared to the upscale restaurants. The host was very courteous and attentive as was the chef, his wife, that came out to speak with us. I found this place on Yelp and as usual, I'm. not disappointed. I think this place deserves 5 stars without hesitation. My wife says finding this place was a home run. Highly recommend and we will be back. read more

Habibi Lebanon - Valentine's Day Menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

We come here at least twice a month on Sundays for brunch. Make sure you get there before 1pm as they start closing the kitchen at 1pm. We always order the same dish, as we love it, the full English breakfast. My husband loves the London Pride beer, a very tasty traditional English beer. I like to have a glass of rose. They have half-priced bottles of wine on Wednesdays. We had shepherds pie for dinner. It truly is the best shepherds pie we have had. It came with a side of roasted vegetables, just the way I like them, very crunchy, fresh and tasty. read more

My wife and two friends were here for dinner. The staff greeted us with a huge helping of warmth and attention. We shared the brisket, The pork chop and the Ahi tuna. The brisket and pork chop were both tender and scrumptious, I can't remember having anything so delicious. Also, I'm not much of a seafood person but I have to say....the ahi tuna was one of the best meals I've ever had. Kudos to the chef and staff for our great experience. They are amazing and we will surely be back for more. read more

I really want to rate Restaurant X higher. It's charming and the owner seems lovely. We had a reservation for February 15th - it was not clear on their website or Open Table (where the reservation was made) that they had a special menu. Had I seen it, I would have never booked. It seems as if we were not alone in this -- during the hour we were there, 4 tables were seated and left before ordering. When we arrived, we waited a few minutes to be greeted and sat, no big deal. The indoor seating is small and the TV was off (I guess for a more romantic vibe) but it didn't make for much private conversation. We waited a few minutes longer for a waitress - no luck - so the owner, who was just sitting at the bar, finally took our drink order. After being seated I quickly realized there was a Prix Fixe menu: $50 for 4 courses. I realized I didn't like many of the options and my husband asked if we should leave but I didn't want to be rude and we like to try new things so we stayed. I asked the waiter if the regular menu (which looked delicious) was available but no-go there. After the 4 courses and drinks my husband and I agreed: our favorite part was our wine. The portions were small (3 stalks of asparagus and half cup of mashed potatoes) and each item we tasted felt like it was missing something. I'm undecided if we'll go back. The regular menu does look delicious, but if what we tasted is any preview, it may leave us hungry and wishing we brought seasoning with us. read more

Habibi Lebanon - Shrimp and Grits - Mediterranean Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

What a cute little restaurant tucked away in the pleasant town of Davidson. I dined here on a Saturday, arriving around 6:00 - just beat the crowd. When we arrived, there was literally one couple on the patio and no one inside. The place was FULL when we left. I ordered the daily special, which was a flank steak w/ mushrooms. It wasn't the best cut of meat, but had good flavor. They have large pours of wine. My sides were tasty. Unfortunately, I was unimpressed with the creme brûlée. No caramelized sugar on top. Just some whipped cream. It seemed out of place. I tasted my friend's appetizer, brie, for the first time. Turns out, I don't like brie very much. She said it was good. I'll take her word for it. She had the pecan crusted chicken breast and enjoyed the meal. For dessert, she had the pancake with ice cream and was not a fan. Service was excellent, with the owner coming out to greet us. Our waitress was very patient, keeping water glasses full and was very pleasant. The staff worked as a team, which is always a sign of good service. I'm recommending Restaurant X if you're looking for something different just a short drive from Charlotte. read more

I have passed Restaurant X a number of times but finally had the opportunity to visit. I have to say that the food was really good. Started off with a side salad and was very impressed with the way it came out. For the main meal I ordered the Dinochop. They were not joking when they say Dinochop (see the picture). There was a lot of food and it was all good. The service was also good and would definitely return again. read more

I found Restaurant X here on Yelp. I was going to be in the area for Valentine's Day and took a chance and made a reservation. I was not disappointed. They had a limited menu with a four course meal. I had the best filet mignon I have ever had. I could - and did - cut it with a fork. The Banoffee pie for dessert was amazing. I don't know of anywhere else I could have had this experience on Valentine's Day. Corey was working hard and took good care of us. If ever in the area again, I would definitely return! read more
