Byblos Downtown

Visited here for the first time and it was amazing! We had the labneh, manti dumplings and harissa roasted half chicken, all of which were tasty! The staff were kind and we got our food pretty quickly as they respected we had somewhere else to be in an hour. Only downside is that it was challenging to find the place as their sign (name) isn't very visible from afar. Overall, great experience and will be visiting again.

This place is amazing!! We have eaten at some of the best restaurants and it’s the best we have eaten at. The food is so flavorful and well seasoned. Every dish we had: Labneh: that bread was seasoned so well and the sourness of the yogurt. I could have licked the plate Lamb shoulder: the lamb was so moist and flavorful, the garnishes were on point-garlic sauce, pickles, hot sauce, perfection Sweet jeweled rice: I couldn’t stop eating it. The sweetness is the saffron and crunchiness of pomegranates and other things were so satisfying Roasted beets: it was a great counter point to the rich food. It was earthy and syrupy, so tasty For my husband’s birthday, we had the chocolate olive oil cake and Turkish coffee. It was literally the moistest cake I’ve ever had. The service was amazing! My water glass was never empty and she was so knowledgeable. The restaurant is also so warm and vibey. This is one is the best restaurants we have ever been to and can’t wait to come back!!

This place was awful. Came a couple years ago and it seemed decent. Attended this weekend and it was terrible. Loud and hard to hear, the food was greasy and overly salted. The halloumi has sat under the salamander until it is as black. The fried eggplant was disgusting. Like eggplant chips but literally dripping grease and inedible salty. I won’t go on but the rest of the meal was even worse. This place is about the scene and the dj not the food and he atmosphere. Our server used the exact same script to talk to us and the adjoining table. This is a place people go to be seen. It’s awful and in a town with so many great restaurants it’s odd it’s so successful.

Dined at Byblos for my 4 year anniversary. The restaurant itself was beautiful, both floors were beautifully designed. Our server Alex was extremely pleasant. Great conversation and she made fantastic recommendations. Started with the beef tartare and hummus. The tartare was a 10 for me, absolutely amazing. Lavash crackers were a great side. My girlfriend found it a bit spicy but amazing. The hummus was great. The sumac onions and Turkish chilli really uplifted the dish. I felt the actual hummus was a tad bit under seasoned but everything meshed well. We got the short rib kebab and the black truffle fries and a side of their fries. Everything was delicious. Their menu is well thought out and everything pairs well. Got the chocolate olive oil cake to finish. The attention to detail was insane. To the entire team that were with us tonight. Thank you

Service is top notch and great to share everything

- Lamb Shoulder: 9.5/10, tender and succulent, goes very well with the pita and dips. - Pear and Arugula: 8.5/10, love this unique salad recipe, it also has castelfranco, green grape and cumin - Black truffle & cheese pide: 9/10, a boat-shaped cheese flatbread with a subtle truffle flavor - Turkish Manti Dumplings: 7/10, stuffed with eggplant, a little too sour for me - Pomegranate sorbet: 8/10, worth trying

Had a 10/10 experience here for my girl’s bachelorette dinner. Let them know in advance about dietary restrictions and they were extremely accommodating without even having to ask. No one felt left out of any menu item due to dietary restrictions. Our server Cody had excellent menu knowledge and great recommendations for us. Very patient and attentive as well. Everything came out on time. Food was very delicious. I have only good things to say about this experience, would definitely come again! Thanks so much for making the evening seamless.

I visited Byblos tonight and everything was delicious! I shared the Turkish manti dumplings, lamb shoulder, and labneh cheesecake. The ambiance of the 2nd floor made for a very pleasant and cozy dinner. Hope to visit here again in the future!
