Byblos Deli - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Amazing find! Visited the National Cathedral and wandered around ending up here before hopping on the subway back to the hotel. On our tour of Boston, DC, NYC....this was top of the list because it was good food and not touristy. Service was fantastic, food was great, prices were very reasonable. We ordered the Sampler, the Special, and a chicken souvlaki. Chicken was freshly cooked and vegetables were fresh. Would absolutely return. read more

The food and service is top notch! Am looking forward to eating here again!!! I had a local friend recommend this place and can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. A true hidden gem! read more

Food is pretty tasty and get a good amount of food for the price. Nothing is revolutionary but it's a good basic Greek place to stop by in the neighborhood. The guy who takes orders is pretty grouchy, but I think that's part of the schtick. I wish their salads were a little more salad and little less dip and meat with some lettuce but for $12 bucks it'll do. read more

Byblos Deli is very unassuming, but very quick and casual if you're looking for that! I'm a sucker for falafel, so I got a falafel pita and fries. The pita was more of a burrito tortilla consistency which I wasn't a huge fan of. The falafel also lacked some flavor and I felt like it was overpowered by the large amounts of hummus that were in the wrap. I think overall the falafel pita fell a little flat for me. I also ordered fries to go with my pita and they were great and hot and very fresh. Overall, it was a solid meal and I'd love to try other recommended things on the menu. read more

A really spectacular restaurant with great tasting Mediterranean food! I've been here a handful of times with my family, and we always leave extremely satisfied and full. Their plates are generously portioned, cooked to perfection, and ready without having to wait too long. We always order the byblos special platter with their gyro meat. Not always a huge fan of gyro meat, but their seasoning is wonderful and tasty. All around a special restaurant- comforting food and excellent service. read more

Byblos Deli - Byblos Special Platter with Gyro Meat - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

If you like Greek food you have to go!! Have been multiple times after discovering it when going to the zoo down the street. I've had the chicken shawarma and gyro and both are amazing! Chicken was seasoned well (I feel like I'm usually picky with chicken in my shawarma and sometimes have had more bland chicken) and the Toum in my shawarma was amazing! Only thing that would make me even happier here is fries in my shawarma and wasn't too happy with the spinach pie read more

I live down the street from this place. Summertime near the National Zoo can get pretty mobbed with people, so be prepared. After flying home from the Southwest, it was time to have two meals in one as fatigue set in and home cooking wasn't going to happen. We stopped in here on a weekday afternoon and there was only one other customer, so naturally, I was a bit skeptical. It didn't help that the owner and his assistant both seemed rather grumpy and wasn't really excited to see customers. No smile, no greeting, just stern faces and intense stares. But never mind this behavior because the food here is solid. I guess the owner knows this, so no need for pleasantries. I ordered the Byblos combo ($7.95) and my dining mate had the chicken shawarma sandwich. My dining companion has been here several times in the past and reported the food was very decent and the chicken was marinated well and cooked to order. I'd also comment that the Byblos combo (vegetarian) which comes with hummus, baba ganoush, salad, 4 grape leaves and pita bread was excellent and flavorful. Portion size was large and I did end up sharing my food. This combo is great value and taste for the money. I'd definitely come back again when I'm in the mood for Greek food again. I do feel quite lucky to live a stone's throw away from this place. I just wished that the owner could be a bit merrier in his work. After all, his food is well executed, delicious and economical. He should be proud of his cooking and beaming from ear to ear. read more

If you want home made, fresh and local Greek food, this place is a hidden gem. Located in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of D.C., I was delighted by every thing I ate. We ordered carry out on a Saturday night because i was craving a good gyro. The babaganoush was perfectly smoked and served with thin pieces of pita. The gyro meat was sliced right off the spit and was so fresh, it wasn't greasy. We ordered the Byblos special platter with gyro meat. It came with hummus and tzatziki on the side. I substituted rice for Greek salad too and the salad was fresh and tasty. Highly recommend if you are in the D.C. area for a quick carry out. They do have seating, but it's tight and pretty simple. read more

Byblos Deli - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I love this place. I live in the neighborhood and come here frequently. I don't know how they make the Greek salad with chicken so delicious, but they do. I've tried a decent amount of the menu items and they've all been great. read more

We had a scrumptious meal at a very reasonable price-- I will order from here again, and again! Lucky to have this gem in my neighborhood

wayyyy overpriced for a "greek salad" no olives no dressing not great at all don't come here better places nearby read more

Byblos Deli - 14 dollars for this ??? ripoff not worth it - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great gyro. I get the Gyro sandwich and the Greek salad w gyro meat here all the time, they're delicious

Heard great things about Marco. super genuine and a great chef. This place deserves all the customers in the area. One of the best greek foods in the area money can buy. You won't regret going. read more

Walked into this deli honestly not expecting much. Looked pretty ok from the outside, but didn't quite seem so welcoming inside. There were two people behind the counter, both who were very reluctant to acknowledge me, never mind take my order. I eventually ordered a pork gyro with the spinach pie. When I took a bite into my "pork gyro", it was just a turkey wrap. How that happens doesn't make quite much sense. However, I do have to say that the spinach pie came out great, little too much oil though. Definitely not worth it. read more

Byblos Deli - Outdoor view of restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Byblos is a neighborhood staple! This is my favorite Mediterranean spot in town. Whatever you order, make sure you the the garlic paste. It is a potent mash of garlic that so so good and needs to put on everything. They also have incredible baklava. They give you a hearty piece. It's a sweet fluffy pastry with just a hint of savory and completely delicious. read more

Very good local spot. Not much else to say, the food is very good and priced fairly. I like getting the spinach pie then adding gyro meat to the side salad. Owner and employees are very friendly as well read more

Byblos is one of the few remaining cheapish, totally delicious, neighborhood spots around. We've been enjoying Marco's cooking for 15 years, and there's no replacement. Everything is good. We particularly like the chicken shish taouk and gyro. Fingers crossed this place never changes. I wish there were many more places like Byblos in DC. read more

Amazing authentic Greek food at an affordable price. Everyone in our crew LOVED their meal. Service was great. Thanks Mark! read more

Byblos is fantastic. Although it seems a bit quiet when you walk past their food is so fresh and simply satisfying. The prices are extremely reasonable $8-$10 for a meal and the service is friendly. Definitely a no frills type of place but if I lived in this neighborhood it would definitely be a once a week type of place. I got the classic gyro on pita and it was so fresh and the meat was hot! My boyfriend got the salad with gyro meat and he was also very happy. read more

Byblos Deli - Gyro on pita - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

Byblos is your generic, no frills quick Greek bite in the area. Instead of paying the exorbitant costs of eating right outside of the National Zoo (only newbs eat at museums/nearby!), I bike shared it a few blocks up to an area for more affordable eats. Everything else was closed for the 3pm lunch lull, but thankfully Byblos was open. I got the chicken shawarma and babbaganoush. The chicken shawarma was not the sliced pit meat you'd expect, but chicken chunks - it came with a tsatsiki sauce and French fries inside which u didn't mind. The babbaganoush was fair also, but seemed to come out of a jar with cold pita on the side. They had outdoor seating and brought the food out - which was nice for people watching. Honestly, it something else was open during this time I'd probably go for that, but Byblos is a good old fashioned "meh". read more

The food was good, but my girlfriend (obviously a woman) was misgendered numerous times. Not a safe place for the LGBT+ community.

Best Greek food I've had in the DC area. The owner is very friendly and prices are great. My favorite is the gyro, stuffed grape leaves, and the tzatziki. read more

Byblos Deli - Gyro with Greek salad and stuffed grape leaves - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great values here and hot food! The staff is just wonderful, including the entire restaurant in cheery conversation. My beef and lamb gyro was stuffed with meat and the flavors are great! With plenty of seating it was a relaxed place to eat lunch in the middle of the work day. And portion sizes are big! read more

I'll start off by saying this is my first review ever! But I had such a great experience picking up from them 30 minutes before they closed, that I figured I might as well say something about it. Chef/Owner was visibly tired (I read he works 7 days a week?) but still took the time to explain the preparation and ingredients of the different types of meat they offered. On top of that, gave me a sampling of each meat to add to my original order! So that I may "experience" the other foods they offer... and experience I did. Solid overall restaurant, needs more traffic. Will be back again in the future read more

Great prices for solid Greek food. I loved my chicken schwarma sandwich, which has a big helping of hummus inside in addition to moist chicken. The spanikopita is also very good and light. I also dug into the baba with zeal. This is a great option if you're craving Mediterranean without the grease or high cost. read more

All the food here is Delicious very flavorful! Definitely recommend it particularly the chicken shawarma!

Delicious, extensive menu, fast service, and incredible prices all make Byblos Deli a total win. I love, love, love Greek food and was thrilled when a friend suggested we check this place out for lunch today. Byblos is totally unassuming and simple. The tables are small, the chairs are squeaky, and the decor is simple. The gyro I ate had the juiciest, most tender meat. Besides the fact that it was dripping oily drippings all over the place, it was one of the best gyros I've had this side of the Atlantic. My friend was equally happy with her baba ganoush. To be honest, Cleveland Park is not a neighborhood I've explored much at all, but now that I have experienced the simple joys of Byblos, I'll be coming back. read more

Byblos Deli - Gyro! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We have eaten at Byblos for years and would always recommend them to anyone heading to Cleveland Park. This weekend we scheduled catering through them for our housewarming party. We got platters of falafel, chicken, hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, spanikopita, and Greek salad. The food was delicious and got lots of compliments from our guests. Also, it came on real platters (which you return after the event) which made the whole event seem even nicer. It was also ample and more than enough for our very large party! Everyone loved it and we will definitely use them again. We would definitely recommend them to cater events. read more

Delicious food, good portions and decent price. Customer service is also great and quick! I'm coming back! I really like how the platters give you a combo of meat, rice, hummus, pita, and taziki (definitely not how you spell that but you get the point). Will be coming again! read more

Byblos Deli - Chicken shawarma platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I really liked this place and usually everything is delicious, but I stopped in today for my favorite: Greek salad, with chicken, no feta and got home to find yellow lettuce and no olives. Also, the chicken didn't have the herbs it usually does. I wanted to take it back, but I was starving, it's cold and not worth the trouble. I love their baba ganoush and more often than not, the my salad is incredibly good, so I'll give this place another try. read more

Awesome hidden gem for a Greek restaurant in the NW located near the zoo. Authentic Greeks working there which is a plus. Owner was super cool and laid back and fun to talk too. Prices are amazing for the area. Food was delicious and well prepared and came out the perfect temperature. If you like simple yet delicious Greek food check it out. read more

Byblos is a nice fast food middle eastern joint literally steps from the Uptown theater. Point being, this might be the best spot for a quick bite of you're waiting for a movie to begin. Especially clutch is the nice little patio out front that is pleasant in nice weather and great for people watching if that's your thing. The food is good, too. I ordered a chicken schwarma sandwich with fries. Good flavor, good pita, what more could you want? Sadly the hummus is just ok and is served with small pita triangles that are not soft enough in my opinion. Nonetheless, they are very quick, very kind, and will fill you up good. read more

Delicious. Came with the wife, 3 kids and the mother-in-law and everybody was happy! I got the gyro platter, fresh and tasty. 13 year old daughter loved the burger (she's fussy). M-I-law loved the steak and cheese and wifey thought the chicken and cheese sandwich rocked. The two boys got the hotdog special with fries. It all came up quick and hot, always good when you have young'uns. Nice to have a little decompression time from the zoo before we returned to see elephants etc. Shaded outside seating a big plus. We now have a 'go to' when visiting the zoo. read more

Byblos Deli - Beautiful day to sit outside. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Good Mediterranean dishes at this very family friendly shop. DC Cops approved based on how often I see them there! Price: Look to spend about $10 per platter (which comes with your main dish plus a side salad) Food: Chicken platter: the rice is very good alongside the chicken. The rice is a little different from what I've had before, but it was still good. Fries: Basic Spinach Pie - It came out to be kind of soggy. Not sure how long ago it was made. The cheese and spinach was a great combo though. THEIR HOT SAUCE IS THE BEST (+1) Service: Good read more

Omg. I love that place. I always stop by Mark's to get a Gyro or a chicken salad. Sometime I would ask for a cheeseburger and let me tell you, it melts in your mouth. Recommend to anyone and everyone who like Mediterranean food. read more

Byblos Deli - Middle Eastern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Byblos is GREAT. The food is delicious, the chefs are as friendly and helpful as can be, the location is perfect for visitors to DC, the prices work for a family of 7. Byblos is right down the street from the Cleveland Park metro stop, maybe half a block. It is super convenient. If you are visiting DC you are likely going to visit the National Zoo. The zoo is about half way between the Woodley Park and Cleveland Park metro stops. You might as well get off or on at the Cleveland Park metro and eat at Byblos. We visited DC from Colorado the first week of April 09. Our hotel was on the red line, as is the zoo and Byblos. We noticed Byblos when we were walking to the zoo but did not stop. We came back later for dinner and were very pleasantly surprised. We have a family of 7 so eating out can be expensive and it's tough to please 7 different tastes. But Byblos worked out great on both parts. The entrees are well under $10 a piece. That's with fries or pita and hummus. The baba ghanoush is delicious. We ate it with the pita and when the pita was gone we started dipping in fries. Everyone enjoyed their meal, from our pre-teens through teens through old codgers (that would be me). The food really was good and the prices better than anywhere else we could have eaten out. But best of all are the guys behind the counter, super friendly, they welcome you in like family. We came stumbling in the first night, out of a light DC rain, and the chef stepped into the kitchen and came back with a big bowl of hot chicken soup fresh from the stove before we had even placed an order or even gotten ourselves shook off from the rain. The soup was delicious and really felt welcoming after walking all day and dodging the little bit of rain. We ate there twice the week we were in DC and would recommend Byblos in a second to anyone visiting DC. read more
