    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

    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.

Both proteins were moist and flavorful. The plate comes with a salad, hummus and rice. Once again the garlic paste had us making short work of this dish. Wonderful Lebanese food and great service will make this your go-to spot for warm comfort food.

For two, we ordered the "individual portions" of Mandi Chicken (young chicken roasted with Yemeni spices) & Lalamb Haneeth (a roasted young lamb that falls off the bone). These were both served over a large platter of Mandi rice and came with Yemeni sauce and yogurt. It was expertly made, yet still gave us the warmth of a homestyle meal. The generous portions resulted in a second meal for me! On a Tuesday night, this place was quite packed with friends and families. It seems like wonderful place to host parties or business meetings. Someone nearby us had a birthday, and a group of staff came out with a dessert, blasting a traditional birthday song over the speakers and encouraged the whole restaurant to clap along!
