The food was delicious, very quick service on a Saturday early evening. The baklava was yummy. I will have to try your breakfast menu & Turkish coffee. Nice waiter.

The chairs were so uncomfortable. I don't know why restaurants use the chairs that dig into your legs/bottom so much. They sat us at the back of the restaurant and I could smell some kind of citrus cleaner the whole time. The food was just okay, it lacked a lot of flavor. Won't be going back.

It is a nice, modern, quiet cafe. We were seated at the front window and also enjoyed the activities and people outside. The music was just the right volume, being able to hear, but not making it difficult to hold a conversation.

Chill relaxed environment. We had the burger and salad with chicken kabob. Both excellent. Nice Mediterranean twist on the burger.

We were just a party of three but seated as you enter and across from the bar. Plenty of loud unnecessary music interspersed with the sound of clanging dishes as the plate bus area appears to be right next to the bar. There was no effort to keep the din down so just be aware of where you are seated. In the main dining section you are either going to be sitting on a bench or metal chairs with wood seat area, read (not too comfortable!). The appetizer we shared was the falafel and it seemed fine enough with a white cream sauce draped on top that did not have much flavor. It was $9 so the value seemed good. All three of us ordered "wraps" at $16 to $17. Why did I put "wraps" in quotes you ask? Well because the wraps are actually not wraps. The food is presented like a unwrapped burrito on a thin tortilla kind of like pita bread but NOT, really more like, well a tortilla. The flavor on the two meats, both chicken and beef, were good. The falafel wrap had the driest falafel I have ever had. The wraps did come with a nice, albeit small side salad. Overall the meal was just really lacking in any inspiration or value.

I'm sad. I've been coming here for over 20 plus years and they changed the food. Very disappointed ?

I love this place. I have for years. The facelift is remarkable and is a fun atmosphere. It was a busy Friday night and the service was friendly but it took an unreasonable amount of time from hello are you ready to order and the delivery of food.

The menu had everything that you would want to order on the Mediterranean diet. we started with a Humus plate. The humus was and delicious and came with fresh baked Pita. I ordered the chicken kabob - my "go to". It was marinated, seasoned, and grilled perfectly. The rice was perfect too! My friend had the lentil soup and Mediterranean salad. Also very tasty. Lastly, if you like a strong dark coffee like me, you have to order the Turkish coffee. Nice!

Food was okay there were some items that were not authentic: Greek salad was not fully Greek salad it was a fusion, had romaine lettuce in there didn't have any bell peppers. The chicken was marinated quite well, not very greasy, everything else was wonderful. I especially like the Turkish coffee, though it was a bit pricey. The ambiance was great, service was great.Vegetarian options: Made to orderParking: There are parking lots and parking structures nearby and mostly street parking but no dedicated parking lot for the restaurant

Really good Mediterranean food that isn’t expensive. Nothing special as far as vibes.Must try the pomegranate baba ghanoush.Parking: Typically you have to find one of the various parking lots scattered around the Orange circle. One thing I hate about going down there.

Loved our dinner at Byblos Cafe! The hummus and chicken kabob plate were delicious! The server was friendly and attentive. We also loved the Mediterranean ice cream sundae with olive oil, pistachios, and sea salt! Will definitely return soon!
