Solid Mediterranean spot in OC. I came last Friday night and ordered their beef shawarma platter. Lots of meat and very flavorful. The hummus was just ok, and I would have preferred more rice. I appreciated that they gave lots of their bread and sauces. The garlic sauce tasted great with everything. Inside wasn't too busy and average amount of seating. Price is not too bad Overall 7.8/10.

First time trying this place and I give it a 10/10 the food was very fresh. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. I will definitely eat here again.

If comfort food and a warm hug had a baby, it would be this plate. I ordered the chicken & beef plate..omg..this meal understood the assignment. The rice? Fluffy, flavorful, and living its best life. The hummus? So creamy i couldnt phatom each bite.. But what really caught me off guard in the best way was their house hot sauce. U don't always find a Middle Eastern spot that nails heat like that, and wow... it elevated everything. Pair that with their garlic sauce and suddenly I'm questioning all my past food choices. Huge shoutout to Shenn, who was incredibly sweet and helpful just pure good vibes from the start. And Paco in the kitchen? Absolute legend. He spoke Spanish with me, showed me the ropes, and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. También se agradece el cariño, hermano And then there's Sam. The man casually checks on you while you're eating outside in their beautiful, serene patio, asks how the food is, and actually means it. We ended up chatting, and the whole place just felt like home. No rush. No stiffness. Just good people, good energy, and incredible food. Byblos isn't just a meal..it's a vibe ‍ Come hungry. Leave happy. Probably come back the next day

1. Chicken Kabab Platter, rice was extra.

I've been here many times and need to finally post a review. What can I say? Byblos is the best food in the area! Fresh, very clean, delicious, the best friendly helpful staff, and I'm extremely satisfied!!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't forget the garlic sauce and the hot sauce is just right for my taste buds!

A nice fast casual Lebanese restaurant. The man at that counter was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to make our experience great!! The menu is simple and I thought prices were very fair. The food was excellent quality and it options were above average. L I had the steak shawarma plate and my daughter had the chicken kabobs plate. I thought everything was good -- proteins, hummus, tabouli, pickled vegetables. The garlic sauce was as good or better than Zankhou's. Rice and pita were average. I would absolutely return here!

Easy 5 stars for me! The only sad thing is not finding this place sooner. Located in a plaza right off the 91 freeway, this was a great find. The owner, Simon, was very friendly and welcoming. We looked over the menu and wanted the combo kabob plate. It comes with chicken, kofta, and I think filet mignon. Of course, they include rice, hummus, and some greens. Oh and pita bread too. The food was made fresh and when we got it, we instantly knew it was going to be delicious. Just look at the pictures! The meats were all seasoned well and tender. No joke, the best Mediterranean style food I've had. I really wanted to try their baklava but I guess they ran out! Which means it's probably worth getting the next time I see it available. Will I come back again? Absolutely! Already planning the next time I can come back and enjoy the delicious food from here again. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. The food is great, but the hospitality is even better. Thanks again, Simon!

Update: Went back today, (a week later) got the fries - WOW!!! And the rice, DEFINITELY improved- updated my 4 stars to FIVE!! I love this place!! Saw this on IG, and decided to turn around from where I was headed to get this instead! And what a fantastic decision!!!! The cashier was super friendly and helpful- and I ordered the combo shawarma plate, and a side of falafel The falafel was absolutely delicious and melted in my mouth, so far my favorite from anywhere The meat - holy moly - the steak, tender and charred on the outside, and the chicken, also charred - so good And let me tell you, grab a bag or two of those pita chips!!!!!!! Sheesh - amazing My ONLY note? The rice was a bit dry, maybe needed some more butter? I'll try fries next time, probably in a day or so! LOL

Delicious food served fresh! Portion sizes are very filling and there are a lot of healthy options. Customer service is excellent and staff are friendly and hospitable. There are no waiters, but staff always check in to make sure everything is good and to see if we need anything. It's a small place and gets packed during lunch time. There is plenty of outdoor seating as well, which is great. One of my favorite places and highly recommend!

If you haven't tried Byblos .. then today is your day ! I was greeted by Sam and what a wonderful experience I had right from the beginning . I ordered the number 5 on their menu and I give that a 10 out of 10 so flavorful of a plate. Highly recommend!

Beef Shawarma Wrap
Kelly S.

Oh my god... I had this place twice this week and it's so delicious. First, I tried the Byblos Chicken wrap then I came back for the Beef Shawarma wrap. I give each of them 5/5. The flavors are so good and it didn't leave me feeling bloated. I loved the garlic and hot sauce they give out on the side as well. The workers here are so nice and friendly. Plenty of seating inside but it does get packed/crowded during lunch time.

Is this food Halal?

Is there a corkage fee?

It's a little fast casual kind of place not really the type of place I would bring a bottle of wine to. Like, you order at the counter. But you could call them and ask them.

I don't think so but if it is would have been stated in menu , website or posted the halal sign somewhere in the store.

If you're looking for authentic, fresh Mediterranean food near Disneyland, Zait Zataar is…read moreabsolutely worth the stop! It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

I placed an online order for the baked fish plate around 12:45 PM and expected a bit of a wait since it was fish. After waiting about 25 minutes, I called and was told it would be another 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was busy, so I understood. However, after waiting longer and checking inside twice, my order still wasn't ready and there seemed to be confusion about its status. In total, I waited close to an hour for an order that was placed online in advance. What bothered me most was seeing customers who ordered in person receive their food before me. It felt like my online order had been overlooked. If online ordering is offered, those orders should be monitored and fulfilled properly, especially during busy times. The food itself was good, but the plate could have been put together better. The fries were placed directly on top of the fish, which made them soggy and took away from the presentation. It would make much more sense to serve the fries on the side. Overall, the food is still good, but the long wait, confusion with the online order, and lack of attention to presentation make me hesitant to rely on the online ordering system again.

The young man who took his order was very polite and made great recommendations based on his favorite flavors. Everything was delicious: texture was amazing, VERY fragrant, and not too sweet. Although, It might've been too sweet if I didn't order the drink half sweet. I'm not sure how much everything cost because i didn't pay for it but i assume it's expensive as they use real, quality ingredients. My latte tastes pricey, probably $8 My photos don't do the items justice. I'm most excited to come back for another latte and their rice pudding (it tastes like roses!).
