    Amazing experience at Byblos Mediterranean Grill! The beautiful, clean interior and patio make it a perfect lunch spot. The salmon was so delicious that even my wife, who never eats fish, couldn't stop eating it! The shrimp had an incredible chargrilled flavor, and the combo platters with authentic Lebanese rice were fire. Delicious food, warm hospitality, and an easy 10/10! Highly recommend!

    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.

    Soo good! My boyfriend and I had the number 7 -- all of the meat was stupid tender and flavorful. And the garlic sauce is fire! The staff are very friendly and polite, we got our food in 5 minutes even during the lunch rush. Overall the restaurant has a really chill atmosphere, with great seating inside and out. The aroma hits you right as you walk in the front door. Wonderful food and wonderful experience. We'll be back soon!

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Yes we have a vegetarian meal, sandwich and sides.

    Do you have catering? If yes how much for 150 people?

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!

Even better -- it was my parents' first time trying Lebanese food, and they absolutely loved it. Watching them light up with every bite was honestly the highlight of the whole meal. The chicken kabob was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with that bright lemon‑garlic flavor Lebanese cuisine is known for. Every piece had that beautiful char from the grill -- the kind that makes you pause and appreciate how good simple food can be. The beef kabob was rich, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. Tender enough to cut with a fork, packed with warm spices, and grilled just right. My parents kept saying, "Wow, this is delicious," after every bite -- and honestly, same. The falafel plate was a total winner -- crispy on the outside, soft and herb‑packed on the inside. Paired with creamy hummus, fresh veggies, and that tangy tahini sauce, it felt like the perfect balance of comfort and freshness. My parents were surprised by how much they loved the falafel. This spot delivered true Lebanese comfort food -- bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and plates that make you feel like you're being welcomed into someone's home. And seeing my parents fall in love with Lebanese cuisine on their very first try made the whole experience even sweeter.

With some updating and attention to cleanliness, this place could really stand out because the food is definitely worth coming back for.

Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.

They are located in the Brookhurst Plaza in the Little Arabia district. There is plenty of parking out front and access is very easy. The interior is small and basic but yet warm, inviting and comfortable. They also have loggia seating outside in front of the bakery. The service is excellent and everyone is so friendly and accommodating that it feels like you are at a family gathering. They serve a vibrant mix of delicious, savory, traditional Lebanese flat breads including the "manakeesh" which comes in many different ways with Zaatar (a blend of thyme, sumac and sesame seeds), cheese, spiced meats and much more. They also serve spiced meat hand pies such as "Sfeeha and fatayer" which are small hand pies, folded into triangles or squares, typically filled with spiced ground meat, spinach, or tangy cheese. They bake the dough to a beautiful golden brown. They offer a lot more than i can list here [See full menu in photos]. They have something for everyone. They use the freshest ingredients. They prepare the dough daily. They grind the meats in house and they use nothing but Halal meats. You can taste the quality in every bite. In my opinion, it is one of the very best Middle Easter Bakeries in the USA. Delicious food, very reasonable prices and great service. I highly recommend giving Al Amir a try. PS: they also have a location in Claremont. Shukran (Thank you) Haj, Radwan and the rest of the crew. Khaled- :)

They have a call button at each table which grabs the wait staffs attention which is helpful. Stopped by here on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty empty. They had 3 wait staff working, but they didn't pay much attention to us despite being the only ones in there. The waiter who took out initial order did help out with initial suggestions though, but didn't go into depth about the dishes-just told us what's popular. Ordered the Mandi lamb and the waiter suggested the chicken dish as it was boneless and had a different taste than the Mandi lamb. Small thing to note here- they don't provide water and charge $2.00 for a bottle. Our meal of 2 dishes, a water, and a karak chai came out to $80.00 which is pretty much expensive in my opinion. Most of their main dishes cost $30.00 but are meant to be shared. The Mandi lamb was good! Nothing extraordinary, but the meat was very tender and juicy. It didn''t have any distinct flavor,but did have the slightest tinge of "gamey lamb" taste still. The rice was super flavorful however and not too greasy which I liked. Overall would recommend ending up here if you're looking to splurge, with a big group of people and in the area.

Their menu has a lot of photos, which helped picture what we would get. Sarma Beyti: This is largely the reason why we came to the restaurant. My girlfriend tried this dish at another restaurant years ago and wanted to try it again; while it was my first time having it. I was truly blown away with the combination of spices, tomato, and ground beef all packed together. This also came with a salad which was seasoned but leaned to a more sour taste profile. Kebab Plate: Kebab came with hummus and for the side, I decided to get some french fries. Another great dish to alternate between with the Sarma Beyti. Noteworthy to mention that Pita Bread was included, but I couldn't remember from which dish. It was great to pair with everything else! Kunafa: This was our dessert pick to wrap up the night. The server mentioned it would take about 15 minutes to make and we were good with it. Once it came out, I was impressed with how it looked. It was cheesy and not too sweet. They also gave extra syrup on the side as well. Overall, it was a very positive dining experience throughout. As the night grew, there were more parties that showed up, which added some strain to the staff. It was apparent as the server kept apologizing for their slower service, but I had completely understood. With the level of freshness from the food, you could tell everything was crafted with attention. American Express is accepted here.
