A bit disappointing.We ordered the manti dumplings, the lentil fido, and the cauliflower. Clearly someone put in a lot of effort in their preparation, but the flavors in all of them were off: too much, too loud, a bit disharmonic.The atmosphere somehow also didn't work. It was cluttered without enough personal space, the noise made it hard to have a conversation, and the service felt a little unpleasant.The price tag doesn't seem appropriate for the experience.

One of the places that I always come back to and it never fails me. The food and the vibes are great and I am obsessed with the short rib kebab

Solid 4/5 - great food, vibes, and service.Highly recommend the Lentil Pide. It’s like eating a warm hug on a fall afternoon… you’ll get it when you try it.The Labneh was solid. Wish there was more of it to eat, it was that good.Tuna Tartar was more of a watermelon salad… while it was fresh I wouldn’t call it a tuna tartar.Turkish dumplings were tasty. They had a particular flavour that we liked, but not for all.I would go back, and try more off the menu!

Best beef tartare I have ever had and I eat a lot of beef tartare. The flavour is so good. The olive oil cake is to die for as well. Very romantic place

Superb food and cocktails, the short rib kebab was amazing. Great selection of dishes for vegetarians and the cocktails were great.Updated;Lamb ribs and the lamb shoulder were fantastic, beef tartare was different, nice spice to it
Had a really great experience here a few nights ago. The seating and atmosphere is very nice. Our server made great recommendations based on what we were looking for and the amount of people we were with, everything is shareable. Fried eggplant, beef tartare, shrimp and the hot honey fried chicken were amazing.

Amazing! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect as it wasn’t too loud or too quiet and all the personnel was very attentive and friendly
Had a great time at Byblos with wonderful service. Each dish we had was excellent. The cocktails were also lovely. Would highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options to share. Highly recommend the Turkish dumplings made with eggplant (and I don’t usually enjoy eggplant!)
The storefront was hard to find: it’s tucked away at the back of the brick buildings and the signage is very lowkey. Inside is fabulous.Loved the cocktails and the appetizers. Try the hummus, it’s divine.Great service too and make sure you make a reservation

Great restaurant for shareables! They have nice wine and a delicious menu. The Turkish manti dumplings are excellent and so is the jasmine rice. The service is attentive, professional, and friendly! Best way to get there is by using the subway as there aren't great parking options.

Great service, great food. Enjoyed everything we tried. Favorite dish: lamb shoulder. Favorite cocktail: the geographer (I ordered 2 and I never order more than 1. I loved this drink!)
