Came in with a group of 6 while the place was packed. In such cases, I don’t expect the service to be great, what with staff attention being stretched thin and all. Wasn’t the case here. Food was out quite quick and was absolutely delicious. Service is amazing and we got to meet the owner, Brian. You can tell when a restaurant has soul. I’ll be back.

My god! I remember Byblos back in the 2000s. Took a few friends back here and the food couldn’t be better. That chicken is always so flavorful and moist. Glad they are back open and will hopefully have them cater a summer party. Go Byblos!

Byblos Cafe & Grill visited the Rivian Plymouth site in Plymouth mi. I must say Hasan and Ali were very friendly and courteous. My food was prepared with a smile. We had a nice short conversation. The Food was good I'd definitely eat Byblos again. Please send Hasan and Ali there both assets to the company

Brian, the owner and chef of this establishment is doing a phenomenal job! I only came here because he recently catered an event at my place of business, and I was only able to try the LEFTOVERS which were super delish! I absolutely had to hunt him down! I walked here on my lunch break and he did not disappoint!!!

I ordered the large chicken shawarma that came with 2 sides. I chose rice and salad! I also ordered the half deboned baby chicken with fries and a salad! It came with pourable garlic sauce! I also grabbed some house made baklava for an after snack! The chicken was flavorful and moist! The rice was perfect! Fries, on point!

Everything was “cooked with love” as Brian said from the kitchen! I can definitely tell! My heart felt it! I will for sure be back!

Byblos has now opened back up, so I decided to give them a try. The first time I had their deboned chicken, not a lot of flavor, it was ok. I asked for a side of garlic sauce, the garlic sauce was watery, which I've never seen before. I decided to give it another try, I had their chicken fatoosh pita wrap. It was good, but again, not a lot of flavor, just ok. Service and atmosphere is great. Beautiful renovations! But the food is just ok in my opinion.

I ordered on door dash and was told they don't have the tablet to receive orders yet ( ended up be 2x more in person )

I got a mixed shawarma with rice and soup. I'd say the food was ok, the lentil soup is one of the best ones I've had.

very kind staff, but the food was a little lack luster and more expensive if you're familiar with the original days of Byblos.. side of garlic sauce was watery and separated, lentil soup was the worst lentil soup I've ever had. way too brothy for me and not creamy/chunky from the lentils. I had to ask for more fries with a $14 Shish tawook combo because there we just a small handful at first. They accommodated the request with kindness and patience. Don't think i'll return unfortunately.. $30 spent on something that felt cheap and tasted cheap.

The lentil soup that was in nasty containers near the register was horrible. Watered down with no flavor. The cashier took my money and without washing her hands, fixed me soup. The location on Palmer is filthy. I will not be back.

With so many Mediterranean options for food in metro Detroit, I don't find myself Jones'in for Byblos.

Ordered the Majadra. Was sad to note that the best part of the meal, well fried and carmelized onions were not present. Not the same taste I am familiar with from Dubai to the UP. Service was OK. Clean place but just didn't like that dish.

I recently used Byblos to cater gathering at my home. Everyone raved about the shish tawook and kafta. The hummus was fantastic! And best of all it was delivered to my home and they were on time, I would definitely recommend Byblos for a catered event or just a night out

Friendly Staff. The food was really good and delicious:) The Chilli there is my favorite. What a cute little place. Very satisfied:)

Good food, quick service. Try the chicken Byblos, fattoush salad, or falafel pita. Do not order the coffee.

Filthy bathroom. Carryout is a hit or miss especially towards the end of the night. You may get cold leftovers.
