I called in an order for a beef shawarma sandwich and side salad. The order was ready shortly after I arrived. The restaurant is quiet with music playing in the background, but not so loud that you cannot talk. It was very clean with tables spaced well enough that you do not sit right next to someone else. The food, I was happy to see that they used Romaine instead of iceberg lettuce in the salad, the dressing is vinegar based with oil and herbs. It was a nice side. The shawarma sandwich has a very nice complexity of flavors and textures. The smell and flavor of the spices are warming. I would order it again and I would like to try the chicken shawarma sandwich next. read more

Byblos Restaurant - Beef shawarma, side salad and a side of tahini. - Salad Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Great food. We ordered a lot of mezze and were impressed with the quality and freshness of everything. I would absolutely eat here again.

We stopped here for dinner for the man's birthday. We have been planning something fancier, but in the end there we were. We started with an order of grape leaves, which tasted good, but were really tiny. He ordered the chicken kebab platter for his meal which he says was great. I ordered the moujadarah, which was quite dried out and overcooked. I mentioned this to the manager/server when he came to check on us. He looked at my dish and replied that yes, it was overcooked. He did not offer to bring me anything different, he did not offer to bring me a fresh meal, and he did not take the cost of the meal off our bill. The two guys working in the restaurant were both nice, but I was disappointed that, although they knew we were there for a birthday (they overheard us and told my partner happy birthday), they did not attempt to make my meal right in any way. read more

Wow! What an amazing Lebanese restaurant in Winchester! The Lamb Kabob was amazing with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked squash, tomato and zucchini vegetables with a slight crunch. Perfection! We will definitely be back! read more

Phenomenal! I can't wait to return to Winchester just so we can eat here every time we visit. Yelp steered us right with this recommendation. We entered wearing hiking clothes and upon seeing the decor felt very underdressed, but we were welcomed and made to feel at home quickly. The included plat of labneh was delicious and a nice touch. We ordered the mezza plate as an appetizer.... Everything was delicious!!! And the presentation on point. I ordered a shawarma and it was everything I needed. Customer service was A+. I can't wait to return. read more

Pleasant waitress and the place seems clean enough but, the food wasn't that usual taste of kebab I expected. It was rather bland and was definitely reheated. The fries were terrible... not hot or crispy. The free hummus was more like sour cream?! Portions were quite small. Other kebab places give you much more and there is usually a piece of pita bread on the platter, not here however. I've read a lot of good reviews so was surprised it fell flat for us. Could it be because it was a Sunday? Opened at noon and we were there right after and wasn't busy at all, just another couple. They still don't have a permanent sign up... tempting fate?? Personally don't think it will last out the year if this visit is the norm. Isn't a "be back" place for us... underwhelming. read more

We ordered pickup from the restaurant. We got the chicken shawarma pita, a side of fries, and the shawarma platter. Everything was promptly ready before the pickup time! The taste was great and the portions were plentiful! We would definitely go back to try something else on the menu. Give Byblos a try! read more

We ordered delivery and it's delicious. My husband had the lamb pizza and I had the Mediterranean vegetable pizza. We also loved the stuffed grape leaves. Delicious. We will order again. read more

I've been 3 times and each time the food and service were superb. The baba ghnoush is the best I have ever eaten. My friends ordered the lentil soup and raved about it. I also loved the kibbeh nyeh, the sambusek, the tabbouleh salad, and more. I'm going again this afternoon. I can hardly wait. read more

Delicious and fresh food with a Mediterranean style. Excellent, helpful service. I found some good gluten free options in the menu. Will be back soon & often. read more

Was beyond excited when we came across this place in Winchester the other day. We love good Lebanese food and this place did not disappoint! As soon as we sat down we were greeted with a yogurt dip drizzled with olive oil and some chips. The food was everything we hoped it would be. Service was great, food prices were just right, portion sizes were also on point. Will definitely be heading back soon for another round. read more

See all

We have had the pleasure of visiting the Winchester location on several occasions since its opening, and each visit has been met with exceptional food and service. read more

Great food and hospitality! I highly recommend to those who love Mediterranean food. It's on point!

Took my first order to go. Had a great appetizer while I waited. Everything was fresh and tasty. Lamb Kabobs and Moujadarah were outstanding. Definitely back soon for more from the menu. Atmosphere looks great for dine in. read more

This was the best Mediterranean food I had since I moved from California. I ordered the chicken kabobs and they were great! The plate came with plenty of chicken, rice and pita bread, I was satisfied with the portions. I am definitely coming back! My girlfriend ordered the beef shawarma with fries and she enjoyed her meal too. read more

This is a new restaurant in the Creek Side Center off Valley Drive. The food is amazing and delicious. This is a family owned restaurant at great find. The service was excellent. This restaurant is a must try. read more

Great meal at Byblos! My wife & I had dinner the other night. They start you with yogurt & homemade chips. She ordered the shish kebab plate with rice. Dee-lish, very flavorful. I had 2 appetizers, the Mezza Platter (hummus with pita, tabouleh, stuffed grape leaves, sambusek (meat pies), & falafel) and Cheese Pies (feta cheese, diced tomatoes, onions). Lots of food. We both had hot tea with our meals. Quick service. Everything was wonderful! (I thought about making this a 4-star review due to the atmosphere, which feels a little spare/industrial, but hey, you go for the food which is great.) read more

I ate at the newly opened Byblos restaurant in Creekside today. Loved it! I have been waiting forever for Winchester to get a decent Middle Eastern restaurant. It's probably my favorite food and of all the Middle Eastern I've eaten, I've always found Lebanese food to be the best. Service was great, food was even better. I had shish kebab which perfectly flavored and grilled. My girlfriend has lamb chops and loved them. We also had humus and pita. Pita basket was big and they brought us more when we ran out. They also brought a few things for us to try on the house. Not sure if this was because they are new or were just being hospitable but either way, this is my new favorite place in Winchester. read more

Flood was wonderful. Service was quick..not much atmosphere but quality and taste overshadowed that

Great food. Great service. I cant wait to go back. One of my new favorite places. It is a new, fun, unique addition to the Winchester area.

The service at Byblos 2 in Winchester, VA has got to be the very worst. It started off ok. The waiter was somewhat attentive. He upsold us a bottle of wine while looking at everything else going on around the restaurant. Other people were coming in...at least 4 tables after us. He left and took all their orders. We hadn't ordered yet. We finally got the attention of another waiter to take our order. This 2nd waiter came back a few minutes later to ask what we ordered. The appetizer came out. Delicious. After the appetizer and almost the entire bottle of wine, still no dinner. 3 of the tables that came in after us finished their meals and left. We waited. It had been over an hour and we couldn't wait any longer. The food came out and we asked for it to go. It looked delicious. The first waiter came out with the check and apologized and the wine was on the house. Still tipped and still we waited. And waited. No order ToGo. I asked what the hold up was. There was some confusion and they had to remake it. We decided to cut our losses and leave. Out $50 and dinner. read more

Great fresh Mediterranean food and quick service. Little hidden gem. Fresh and not over-seasoned. Happy to have found this in the neighborhood. read more

Excellent food! Definitely recommend trying the falafel appetizer, lamb and shrimp options- everything was lovely and the staff was super friendly! read more

I had ordered the chicken kabob plate with rice and two of the sambusek. It was incredibly good and very reasonably priced. All the ingredients tasted very fresh too. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone. read more

Our first time at Byblos, we did a did an Uber eats, ordering lamb kebab plate, the Branzino and a number of sides (lebneh, spinach pie, salads). Everything was delicious. Food was fresh, tasty, ample and seasoned to perfection. Sorry that Nad T was disappointed. Winchester doesn't have enough mid-range excellent family spots. Delighted to have Byblos close by. I'll be a a frequent guest. read more

This is the restaurant that I have been waiting for in Winchester for so long. I swung by for an early dinner around 5pm to give Byblos a try and Decided to start with a small Hummus and have the Chicken Shawarma with fries as my main course. I have spent much overseas around the med and knew this to be the safest test for a new Lebanese restaurant. If I could sum up my experience in a word, it would be 'Fresh'. The food was fresh and delicious, the hummus was perfect as was the fresh pita. The Shawarma better than I had in Dubai with its wonderful aromatic blend of spices. She flavor brought me back to some very fond memories overseas. The linen and restaurant was impeccably clean and the folks that worked there were kind, they smiled with their eyes. This is my new favorite place in Winchester and I truly look forward to trying some of their more elaborate dishes like the Lamb Kebab Plate, I know it will be amazing. See you all again soon! read more

The food and service are we talking about?great!!! Will definitely be going back again!

This place is maybe 1 star of that had there chicken tasted blande and tough the bread came out in a bag they order the bread from. I guess Winchester is low end and don't know good food. read more

We went for dinner on Valentine's Day and luckily got seated just before the line formed. My wife had the shish kebab and I had the Lamb. We both would order them again. The meat and veggies had the perfect char on them and were nicely seasoned. The meat had a crispy outside but not to the point of being burned. I can't stand cooked tomatoes but these were grilled to the point where they were warm but still had that raw firmness. I could eat those all day long. Definitely recommend this restaurant and can't wait to try the shawarma read more

We tried this restaurant the weekend it opened. The owner is very kind. Nice staff and very good food. We will be back. We recommend you try. read more

I grew up in a Midwestern town where there was a Mediterranean restaurant every other block. So, naturally I was thrilled when I saw Byblo's was coming to Winchester; they did not disappoint. They have many options on their menu. The food I had today was delicious, and authentic. Portion sizes were generous and everything was reasonably priced. I and my family will be regulars! read more

We've been here twice so far and I'm so excited they're here! My favorite things so far are the beef shawarma sandwhich and the moussaka but everything was great! We moved to this area about 2 years ago and I would complain that the only thing it was missing was middle eastern food, and here they are! read more
