Byblos Restaurant

From start to finish everything was perfect and the food is authentic and delicious!!!

Been going to Byblos since it was Nora’s! Amazing food, 10/10 stars if I could. The owner Walid is very down to earth and takes pride in his restaurant. The servers and managers are also trained to perfection in giving friendly service to everyone that walks in! Don’t miss out on this hidden gem in haymarket near the roundabout! You’ll regret it! PS, if you’re lucky, you’ll have dinner and a show with belly dancing on the weekends during dinner time😌

The best Lebanese I've ever had, even more spectacular being so close to home!!!!

Get the lamb pizza - you won't regret it!

Our server Moh was amazing, very helpful, and very kind. I will return here again and again.

Wheelchair accessibility: While there is accessible parking and a wheelchair can get in from the parking lot easily enough, the tables are VERY close together. They can be easily moved but I highly recommend you call to let them know they are coming so they can make it easier for you.

I was excited to find a Lebanese restaurant in Gainesville since I love Middle eastern food. I ordered vegetable soup, foul medames, mujaddara and steak kebob. I traveled 30 minutes home to find the soup had exploded and the foul was falling out of the container! Very poorly packaged. The soup ended up being very sour and not edible. The pita bread was cold and thrown into the bag. The steak was so overcooked it was very dry and the French fries were very oily and limp. After spending most of my life working in and around restaurants I emailed them to let them know and so they could try to make it right with an apology, a gift card or refund so I could try them out again. I got NO RESPONSE! This isn't the way to do business. I was very sad and disappointed and will never go back again. I have been eating Middle eastern food for most of my adult life and would be sure to skip this place.
