I went but was confused at the large name on building was not "Athenos Greek & Lebanese" but was RED SEAL something!

We love the Jordanian wrap loaded with meat. However, our new favorite is the tuna with this beautiful white cream sauce with shrimp. I'm drooling writing this. Of course, it comes with rice and super hummus. It's a must try. And bonus you can bring your own bottle of wine to enjoy. The people are always nice and the place is alway clean. Give it a try.

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.

Second time here! Both times were delicious! I love the homemade fresh pita…read more First time I came here for dinner with my significant other. Was seated at the bar until a table was available. Second time I came for a private event. Very nice exclusive upstairs private event space and bar, I loved the interior. I had delicious pomegranate lemonade mocktail. I loved the fried chicken hummus, Mediterranean cucumber salad, Brussels chicken, steak the most. Everything was amazing and flavorful, I don't think you can go wrong. The cinnamon date dessert just tasted like bread XD but overall I would totally come back! I think I prefer the sister restaurant though Parking: limited parking lot, limited street parking

We accidentally stopped there first, but made our way to the other location with a very short and easy walk. We were the only patrons, but the server was very attentive while still giving us our space to enjoy the meal. The food was phenomenal. 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!

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. For dinner we split the chicken shawarma with hummus and fries. The waitress had recommended the chicken and she was spot on. It was tender and well seasoned. Portions are large, so we are glad we split it.

I love this place. I've been eating their food since they used to be at the New Orleans farmers…read moremarket many many years ago. They are Turkish owners and chefs and their recipes are fantastic. 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.

He did take time to chat with Mom about her trips abroad. On a better note the appetizer came out quickly and was delicious. The hummus was smooth and creamy, the falafel was crispy and flavorful and the kibbey was perfection. I didnt try the grape leaves but Mom ate them all up. I ordered lamb chops which came with a fresh salad and more hummus which I shared with my Bf's Mom. Bf ordered two meats beef and chicken. The beef tasted more like lamb but the chicken was tender and delivered the Mediterranean spice. The pita opens so you can fill and eat or just dip. We had leftovers and the bill for three was around $100 including tip. I think the real waiter showed up towards the end and he was more attentive to the tables that came after.

We were a little more divided on the grape leaves but the flavors were excellent - just not everyone likes them piping hot. Hummus was delish! As was the salad.

My lula kebab platter was pretty good too, particularly the accompanying hummus. My waitress was a pleasure as well, not only because she was good at her job but because she came across as a genuinely nice person. If there was a letdown of any kind it involved the baklava, which though still pleasant was drier than what I prefer. Still, Lebanon's was in every respect a worthwhile stop (and a pretty economical meal too).
