Pumpkin kibbeh was my favorite! Super good! Also liked the foule, dolma, and lentil soup

An authentic experience that was welcoming and informative of the menu. This experience allowed my husband and I to try something new and feel comfortable not knowing everything listed on the menu. The staff aided in our decision that offered a diverse taste of the culture. Throughout the dining experience in this small yet cozy restaurant checked in with us to ensure we were pleased and knew how to use all components of the meal. The flavor was rich offering a satisfying taste. Highly recommend giving this truly authentic restaurant a try.

Highly, highly recommend the lamb shank entree. The meat was fall off the bone tender and the potatoes and rice were delicious. Loved every bite. My wife had a salad and she really enjoyed it.

A Disservice to Mediterranean Cuisine – Overpriced, Bland, and Deeply Disappointing
As someone who’s well-traveled and has experienced authentic Mediterranean food across different regions, I have to say — this place is a complete letdown. It's not just overpriced; it’s a disservice to anyone trying Lebanese or Mediterranean cuisine for the first time.
The meat was overcooked and dry, lacking any of the rich, spiced flavor that defines Lebanese dishes. The rice? Utterly bland — no aroma, no seasoning, just filler. For the portion sizes, taste, and quality, the prices are laughably unrealistic.
What’s worse is that someone unfamiliar with Mediterranean food might walk away thinking this is what the cuisine is supposed to taste like. That’s the real shame. Even venturing just outside of Davidson, you’ll find better, more honest food at half the price.
This place isn’t just missing the mark — it’s missing the essence of the culture it claims to represent. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone seeking a true taste of Lebanon.

Habibi is a cozy, family-run restaurant with both indoor and patio seating. George is welcoming and adds a rich warmth to the atmosphere, especially with Lebanese music playing softly in the background. The lamb shank falls off the bone, and don’t skip the baklava – great way to finish the meal. A relaxed spot worth trying in Davidson.

Delicious and authentic Lebanese cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy and fun. The starters (grape leaves and falafel) were light and tasty. The mains (chicken shawarma, kabob trio) were excellent. We also enjoyed the fattoush.
We ended up taking the baklava home and it was delicious. Subtle rose water flavor and not overpoweringly sweet.
I also enjoyed the Kentucky Mule cocktail. The staff could not have been nicer. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back again soon.
The food and services is excellent. I highly recommend.

The whole team helped me coordinate a wonderful surprise proposal celebration lunch for my fiancée. Everyone was so helpful, kind, and efficient and made the 20-person event go so smoothly.
To top it off, the food was SOOO delicious. Some of my favorite food in the area!
Thank you so much to the Habibi Lebanon team!

Food is very good taste-wise but tiny portions for the cost and the location and the restaurant atmosphere doesn't justify the cost.
