The food was good but I didn't really love the ambiance of the restaurant. The tables are all really close and it was really cold. I got the chicken and beef skewers which were tender and juicy. We also started off with hummus and bacon wrapped shrimp which were both pretty good.

I've been eating at Byblos for decades and always enjoyed their great middle eastern food. Usually I prefer to eat at Byblos Market which is their combo of a Middle Eastern market that also offers hot food where you can get a lot of the food offered in this restaurant for a bit of a cheaper price. They do have many items on the menu here at Byblos restaurant which they don't typically offer at the Byblos Market though so you do get VERY different experiences at each spot. Overall this is a great spot and one of the very few Middle Eastern spots that also slings booze. My video review of Byblos Restaurant is here: https://youtu.be/dsUsKKvaqOM

Drunken Halloumi and Spanakopita
Kellen P.

Absolutely love this spot for Mediterranean cuisine. It's right off of Metairie Road next to the bank with plenty of parking. I'm a sucker for their spanakopitas, fried halloumi cheese with garlic spread and tomato, the Pine Nut Salad with salmon and Chicken Shawarma. The service is great, very polite, although they can get backed up during peek hours. The dining room has been fairly average in terms of noise level, maybe even on the quieter side during lunch. Will definitely be returning!

Stuffed Grape Leaves

I wanted to try this Byblos location because the menu is more extensive than the location closest to me. Upon entering, we were told to sit wherever we'd like (which was nice). Service pretty good but the overall environment was dull. Also, the dishes looked dingy and my veggies were in a cracked bowl. We started with the stuff grapes leaves and they were pretty good! I had the redfish entree (bland). The veggies were good, but I didn't feel comfortable eating anything that was placed on the cracked portion of the dish. The other guest had a beef gyro and the meat could have used more seasoning. The entire experience was average at best.

hummus and things

I mainly go to the Byblos in the Lakeside mall, but my friends wanted to have dinner here a couple of months ago. At Lakeside, I usually get the Schwammer with hummus, pita bread and greek salad. Here I had the hummus and the medditerranean pasta. I have to sadly admit, the hummus was not as good as it usually is, or at least as good as it was at Lakeside mall. And the shrimp had little flavor, I was expecting it to be garlicky and good. The pasta itself was not easy to eat since they were thick, long noodles and non bite sized veggies that all needed to be sliced and since it was all in a bowl, the bowl would nearly tip over when I would cut the pasta or veggies so I could cut them small enough to eat. It almost needed to be served in a plate or served with smaller veggies, at least. Now the good news. The service is great. Our waitress was funny and kept our drinks filled. Lots of ample parking. They have specials on Wednesday nights for wine too. It is a decent size too, so may be good for groups as well. I think I may just stick to the Lakeside mall location for now on.

Chicken Shawarma with rice pilaf and Toulash salad
Tyneka D.

This place is delicious. Caters to large parties as well as small. The food was fresh and portrayed an authentic taste. The service was good. The server was attentive and engaged in conversation when appropriate. Entrance/hostess I was waiting quite a bit up front as several employees passed me by and didn't give a greeting. The bar was near by and still no one greeted me. I was on the verge of walking out h til someone finally greeted me and basically said "hi, feel free to sit wherever you like." Appetizers: We ordered the Labneh dip. It was delicious and came fast, it included pita bread. The bread wasn't as warm as we would have like but it wasn't cold either. Entree: The main course came out at a decent time. We order the Gyro plate and Chicken Shawarma plate. Each plate comes with two sides of your choice. Overall, I would give the over all experience 4 out of 5 stars because we had to request our waitress from a different waitress.

We are out-of-towners with dogs. Yelp marked this business as dog allowed. They placed us at the…read moreporch's table. It's all went well. Foods are delish and the owner was attentive and checking on us periodically. He welcomed us and our paws kids with a big smile!! Totally recommend when you are so full of NOLA cuisines and want to break out of the local palate.

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.
