I order my meal in a to-go container so I could easily bring the leftovers home. The feta salad was so fresh and delicious! The gyro plate was a great amount of food for the price. The hummus was homemade and I recommend paying extra to add the toppings to the hummus. I wish I would have been given more pita because some parts were so hard it wasn't great for dipping. Overall, I would definitely come back! The restrooms and dining area were clean. The dining area was inviting and I enjoyed looking at the flags and decor. I highly recommend!

Time and time again does Shaya show consistency in both their meals and their service…read more We came after Art for Art Sake on magazine and were immediately seated. From the start of the mezza to the large plate of the chicken thigh and drum; they made us feel comfortable and warm. The star always shines in the fried chicken hummus but the chicken and drum large plate was close second. There's never a doubt in when to drop in for a quick bite or a romantic evening; Shaya delivers and stays delivering!

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.

We got the lamb two-ways platter to split with rice and greens, tzatziki sauce, baklava, and Turkish coffee. Delicious, perfectly flavorful, and portioned well. Enough that we were both satisfied and we felt the price point was fair. I would definitely go here again!

Absolutely Amazing!…read more I've been coming to this restaurant for over 16 years, and it has truly never disappointed! The service is always excellent, the food is exceptional, and everything has that warm, comforting, home-cooked feel that keeps me coming back. This is one of those places that feels like home every time you walk through the door. The quality, hospitality, and consistency over the years are unmatched. I honestly wish I could give this place 1,000 stars! If you haven't been, you're definitely missing out!

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.

The wait staff was very helpful with suggestions and took time to make sure we had what we needed. We ordered falafel for an appetizer and it has just the right texture.

Portions are large, so we are glad we split it.

They have products in the local groceries and at the Covington farmers market as well. The turkey meatloaf and the spinach and artichoke lasagna are so so good. You could easily spend the same amount feeding two people at McDonald's, but this is ten times tastier and healthier. Do yourself a favor and try them for lunch. You'll be going back like we have for years.

Their food is fresh, wholesome, and healthy. It's great value. I don't think they use any preservatives and they also support other local businesses such as Mona 's and our local honey place. I love how they have now settled into this brick and mortar location and expanded the place to offer seating for lunch. They have reusable silverware and a microwave and it's just a lovely spot for a quick afternoon lunch break if you're in the area. And then you can get some food to go and take it home with you for later.

Excellent Food, Wonderful Service, and an Amazing Menu!…read more What a great experience! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the moment you walk in, the wonderful aromas let you know you're in for something special. I started with Lebanese tea, which was rich, intense, and quite sweet--definitely sweeter than traditional Southern sweet tea, but very enjoyable. For the meal, I had the lamb and beef kebabs along with the chicken kebabs. Everything was delicious, and I absolutely loved the hummus. The salad was fresh and flavorful, too. They also use a beautiful purple spice sprinkled across the plate that adds a distinctive touch to the presentation. The menu is extensive, and I appreciated being asked if I wanted to hear about the daily special. Today's special was lamb shank, which sounded wonderful. The service deserves special recognition. Everyone was polite, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Great food, generous variety, beautiful presentation, and outstanding hospitality. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back and work your way through the menu. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Highly recommended!

If there was a letdown of any kind it involved the baklava, which though still pleasant was drier than what I prefer.
