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.

We ended up here after the other places I wanted to go weren't right for us! It's fairly small with…read moreapproximately 20 tables and bar seating, but very cozy. Our server Bryan was outstanding. So friendly and helpful from the beginning. We decided to share the Gyro platter with hummus and rice pilaf and my husband wanted to get the Greek salad. They do bring warm pitas with olive oil to every table. I also tried the Pomegranate martini which was delicious. The Gyro platter was large and full of the delicious meat. My husband was in Heaven with his Greek salad. He usually goes with whatever I choose, but this is was his jam! He thoroughly enjoyed every bite. If you love Greek food, I highly recommend trying this. There are other spots as well. One in Elmwood and one on Veterans near the Orleans line.

I had the eggplant parmigiana and it was very well cooked with lots of eggplant and loads of pasta with sauce. Everyone was friendly, waitress was new but she was polite enough to say she was. The male staff member (owner/manager?) asked how everything was and made sure we had everything we needed. He took my dish and my husband's and put them in to go containers. The ambiance was great there were two dining areas one i couldn't see very well but looked clean and neat with the appropriate decor. We will go back.

You can tell that they put a lot of effort into their dishes and customer service. I always get the chicken shawarma wrap with hummus and it is delicious. All of the food is so fresh! If you are a Diet Coke lover, their DC is crispy (IYKYK). I even love their baklava. The restaurant is very clean and they have a great seating area. I think the pricing is fair because the portions are a great size! I always have leftovers for lunch the next day. I will continue to support this business!!

I'd give this restaurant a solid 3 stars. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavor. As…read moremy 8 year old would say, it was bussin'! However, I do have to mention the bathroom situation. My son went to use the restroom, and the doorknob was broken which is a little unsettling, especially for a kid. When I went to the ladies room, it was unfortunately pretty dirty, which definitely took away from the overall experience. I don't want to take away from the food and kitchen staff, but if we're factoring in the whole experience including cleanliness, that restroom situation needs attention. Also, between both of our meals, I spent $50.46. That feels a little pricey for a quick lunch.

Dinner comes with some pickled veg (carrots, peppers, and olives) and pita bread. Such a tasty addition to the Lamb kebabs i ordered cooked to medium perfection.

While I'm not personally a hookah smoker, the atmosphere was still enjoyable; I could see how it might feel different if the space were full of smokers, but it didn't take away from our experience during this visit. The food arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and the drink specials were just as impressive. This place is truly a hidden gem for lunch, offering great value without compromising quality. The music added to the vibe, and I can easily imagine it being an even livelier spot in the evening. What really stood out was the owner taking the time to visit our table, that level of hands-on hospitality makes a big difference. The bathrooms were clean, the water was hot, and everything felt well-maintained. Overall, a great experience with excellent service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

We sat at the high top tables across from the bar. I feel bad that I forgot her name but our waitress was the sweetest girl ever, she made our evening so enjoyable. I was full from everything that I had already eat that day so I was just enjoying my espresso martinis and hookah. My boyfriend did order the nachos and added chicken. He liked them a lot. The music was giving early 2000s vibes with a heavy emphasis on Nelly which was interesting lol we were expecting to hear a lot more Louisiana rappers. The vibes were great tho, the hookah was super smooth and I enjoyed my drinks. We had a great night. I would definitely recommend for a cute date night out.
