Byblos

Our server was very pleasant and attentive. Food came out at a reasonable time. The serving sizes were nice and filling. We loved that the pitas arrived hot and puffed up. We got the classic hummus which was also really good. The beef kabob and beef shawarma were okay. We did note that the french fries were heavily salted but it is to our preference so I really liked it. If you aren't a fan of that, I think you should mention it to your server. I don't think they were fresh-cut or made in-house, we didn't mind.

Byblos in Metairie serves up Mediterranean goodness with a side of swagger. The corn bisque is silky, sweet, and so comforting it should come with a blanket. The smoked salmon flatbread? Crispy, smoky, and the kind of snack you "accidentally" eat all by yourself. And the Tabbouleh salad? Fresh, vibrant, and just healthy enough to make you feel responsible. If flavor had a passport, Byblos would be stamping it nonstop.

Ok this place is legit Mediterranean food! Growing up Persian I appreciate good quality middle eastern cuisine. Got the chicken kabob with rice and hummus and it was all so fresh and tasty! Prices are very fair for the portion and quality! Definitely will be back!

Wanted to have a nice lunch after dropping my son off to family so decided to try this place as the location caught my eye. They have lots of options on the menu to choose from which is great. The Feta Cheese Fingers were a great choice for an appetizer, the pepper jelly set off all the cheese flavors. When I go to a new restaurant, my goal is to get dishes that I can't make myself or I've never had before anywhere else and this was one of those dishes/appetizers that I'm glad I chose. For an entree, I decided on the $24 Mediterranean pasta which was fresh and flavorful and A LOT of food. I took my leftovers home and felt like I had two meals! The artichoke in it was a good idea. Ambiance was great as we sat outside and the server was cute. She was very helpful with recommendations on what to get for our first time. WILL BE BACK!!

I love this place. Everything is delicious. Their kibbeh was fantastic and the hummus and pita bread just melt in your mouth. I could eat this hummus everyday if I could! Falafel sandwich was great but they could add more fried falafels to the wrap and Brussels sprouts were very tasty! We loved it all. Left soooooo full!

We absolutely loved dining here! The atmosphere is upscale casual, and there is a lot of natural light, which I find refreshing. Saturday lunch with husband. Our server was fantastic, from patience with our questions, to suggestions from the menu and keeping our drinks full and our table bussed and to go items boxed.The spanakopita app was very nice; large portion and appealing to the eye. Husband had the combo kebab with beef and chicken, french fries and fattoush salad. Not a bad item on the plate. Loved that he finally had a fattoush salad. :)My Kafta plate with lamb, hummus and rice pilaf was SO good. Huge portions on both entrees, so there were leftovers. Plus, we had to leave room for dessert.Dessert was an Ashta. If you've never had one, you HAVE to try it. It is shareable dessert; I'm guessing 4 people should eat it, but the 2 of us did the hurtin' on this one.Great service, nice food choices, soothing atmosphere, amazing dessert=Gotta Go.

This is a really good option for Mediterranean food in the area. The food was very tasty, authentic and well portioned. They make the flat bread in house, which is delicious. We had the Mediterranean humus for appetizer and was very flavorful. The bread pudding is out of this world, the baklava was for just OK, maybe because it was served cold. The house old fashion and Sangria were very well made. They have really good specials on drinks for example Tequila Tuesday is $6 margaritas, and on Thursday all drinks are $5 (martinis, old fashioned, cosmopolitan, etc)The place seats big and small parties, and has a patio. If your party is bigger than 4, you may need to request for a special table. Our server Claudia, was bilingual, and very useful with her suggestions.

Love this place. It's a little more upscale than other Byblos locations and it's in my neighborhood. The flavors are unique and the pita is fluffy and roasted in a way that reminds me of Indian bread in the best way. I've had great experiences with the staff and I recommend trying out their various drink specials.

The smoked salmon dip is amazing! Don't pass up on this delicious schwarma! Really great place and excellent ambiance.

Our server Nadia was great! Very sweet and personable. Food was delicious as well - cannot go wrong with going here! Has a really nice bar area too.
