    Chicken shawarma plate
    Mina H.

    Byblos is FANTASTIC. It's cheap, it's absolutely delicious, and the portions are large! This is perfect if you want Mediterranean food, but don't have an arm and a leg to sell that day. When you walk in, you'll notice it's both a spacious store and casual eatery. There's plenty of tables and seating to dine in, but it's a "no frills" kind of place, with no waitresses or waiters. They'll call you up, and you bring your food to the table yourself. Honestly, I prefer it this way. Another thing you might notice is that this place is CLEAN. The floors are clean, the shelves are organized, the hot foods area is immaculate, I saw zero bugs, the tables are neat, etc. A lot of casual eateries look a little messy, but this place seems to have great hygiene. I'm telling you, you have to try the food. It's PHENOMENAL the quality you get with this price. You cannot get such cheap delicious Mediterranean food anywhere else in this city. So many places are delicious, but expensive. Not here! It's so yummy and affordable with great portions. We've tried a good amount of items and I would recommend the: *Chicken shawarma or kabob plate - The chicken is perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and smoky. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. Both the hummus and tzatziki sauce are delicious. The salad is fresh and comes with a yummy light dressing that contains purple-ish spices I can't seem to identify, but love anyway. *Stuffed grape leaves - They offer both beef and vegetarian ones here, so options for everyone! I've tried both, but I personally like the vegetarian ones better, and although I don't know what's in them, I can attest that they're amazing. They're addicting, and you'd be temped to over eat way too much if you dine in. Aside from these items, they have a lot of dishes to offer as well as daily specials, I recommend just going in and checking them out. I promise you won't be disappointed.

    Sparkling water

    I like Byblos. I usually go alone and sit at the bar. The bar is pretty stocked and service is very quick. Today I was hungry and didn't want to drink. I only had sparkling water with lemon (euro style). I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer, chicken shawarma plate w/ hummus and sauteed vegetables. While I was eating the complimentary pita bread and olive oil, the bartender told me about the sauces the chef makes. He brought me a little of the chili seasoning sauce. I enjoyed it with my shrimp, in my hummus and mixed into the sauteed vegetables. It was really good. Byblos is a nice casual spot with a full bar and outdoor seating.

    Drunken Halloumi
    Alexandra E.

    This is a tasty spot with good prices! We started off with the Falafel, Meat Grape Leaves and Drunken Halloumi. All of them were delicious. For our entrée we split the Shawarma plate with hummus and tabbouleh. The meat was really tender. The hummus could have been a little more flavorful but it was still good! They have good service and plenty of parking (at least on a Wednesday night!)

    gyro sandwich

    Byblos is a local chain with a couple of different outlets throughout the city serving mediterranean food. we normally go to byblos market standard order is the gyro sandwich which is the gyro sandwich served with salad and hummus (or baba ganoush). we normally get this because the meat is really good, tender, and apparently some of the best tasting gyro in the city. they have other food including a lot of sides so well each time we try something a little different. this time we tried the meat pie which was also told was really good and better than other places. we have tried other sides which weren't as good (the spinach pie - too greasy) but overall each food has been decent with good flavors and decent portion size

    This is the same food you can get at the Byblos restaurants for a cheaper price and larger portions. Some of the food certainly gets up to four stars but on average it is about a three star place. It is also a market that has all sorts of interesting middle eastern grocery items that you can't really find anywhere else in the area. It is like a cafeteria style dining arrangement where you order your food or you can choose things from the hot plates. Most of the things I've gotten from the hot plates haven't been as good as in the restaurant so I usually go for one of the plate specials and those are almost always good. The stuffed lamb plate was one special that I didn't care for as it was just lamb mixed with a bunch of rice and I missed my salad and hummus that comes with most of the other plate specials. You get a lot of food here so it is a great value and an easy place for a quick lunch. It is also right next to the Black & Gold store so you can grab some Saints gear and get ready for the game before or after lunch!!! Byblos video review: https://youtu.be/QUQbhgE0NRs

    DRY AF AND BURNT!!!
    Big M.

    Ordered from here via Uber eats. Food arrived and it was CHARRED!!! The chicken is so thin and dry and charred. I couldn't eat it. It's like they have me what's been sitting there over night. I had to throw it in the trash. Only one piece of pita too. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

    The service was excellent. The staff supper friendly and helpful.The restaurant was very clean…read more My husband and I had got into a minor accident making a u-turn to go eat here. One employee witnessed the accident and offered his help. My husband and I are truly grateful. The food is fresh and delicious! And portions are more than enough. We will return to have one of their specials. Not much parking. But their is a big lot next door.

    Stopped in for lunch around 1:30 the day after Christmas. Hate that this is where we part ways…read more.. Decent amount of business happening inside. Order taken quickly at the counter: gyro wrap w/side of yellow rice, an order of Dolmas (8) and a soda. With tax & tip $34.88. Sat at a booth type table for comfort, only to discover we had to tip toe around the messy floor and I kicked away a ball of something rather than squish it. Husband said wrap was tasty but didn't remember they use a wrap instead of a pita for the gyro sandwich. (I had the gyro on our last visit.) Rice was good. My dolmas, however, were gross. I don't dip them in tzatziki, I typically like the taste. However, today the rice inside them was very, very gooey, as if they sat over the holiday. I ate 2.5 and threw the rest out. Someone came out to ask how things were but apparently didn't notice they were standing on rice. I didn't say anything about the dolmas, because by this time they were in the trash. Took home the remaining portion of the gyro, rice & tzatziki. Asked for a to go box, then asked again for lids for the sauce. Both times I interrupted someone playing on their phone, and the rest of the staff was hanging out talking behind the counter. Really wished they had taken the time to check the dining area.

    This place has been so good for so long. Never had a bad meal here…read more We had some friends in town and we were hanging out uptown. Got some reservations to grab lunch and fuel some more shopping. All the hummus is good, but we started with my favorite the fried chicken hummus. Got a few other small bites. The star of the show was the chicken schnitzel sandwich. If you talk about the chicken sandwich wars this one wins it all. It's so crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. First time I've tried this and I'm going to have a problem ordering anything else from now on. Service was great and my friend introduced our server to the term fridge cigarette for a Diet Coke, which was funny.

    Second time here! Both times were delicious! I love the homemade fresh pita…read more First time I came here for dinner with my significant other. Was seated at the bar until a table was available. Second time I came for a private event. Very nice exclusive upstairs private event space and bar, I loved the interior. I had delicious pomegranate lemonade mocktail. I loved the fried chicken hummus, Mediterranean cucumber salad, Brussels chicken, steak the most. Everything was amazing and flavorful, I don't think you can go wrong. The cinnamon date dessert just tasted like bread XD but overall I would totally come back! I think I prefer the sister restaurant though Parking: limited parking lot, limited street parking

    This is the most upscale and newest of the Byblos restaurants. For quite awhile after they opened…read morein Elmwood I was really happy with the food and service here. They were doing a lot of unique things here and the food really was quite a step up from the other Byblos locations to the degree that there was zero resemblance. I really enjoyed everything I ate here and while it was more expensive than the other Byblos locations it was of better quality. Unfortunately something has changed as the quality seems to have dropped, the menu has changed and service has really deteriorated. They have a pizza type oven like Shaya and Saba have and they were putting out a similar type bread to those establishments but on my last visit I just got generic pita bread. The experience used to rate a higher price but now things have really declined and the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. I hope my last visit was just an anomaly but I've heard from multiple people that the standard has dropped and the generic pita is the new usual. This was a four star joint and one of the top Middle Eastern joints in the area but sadly that no longer seems to be the case.

    I usually love the restaurant. However, the waiter was horrible this time! The hostess sat us in…read morethe corner in a tiny table and chairs. I could not see much of the ambiance. I was not comfortable with the seating. The waiter dashed in and out to ask if everything was alright and hardly got a chance to answer. He did not refill our empty drinks until my boyfriend had to almost yell at him to do so. My Brussels sprouts were brought out cold. I asked him to bring me hot brussel sprouts and he brought them back burnt which I did not eat! Was that supposed to be funny!? All I can say after that experience, I am never going back!
