Byblos - Mediterranean Lebanese Restaurant & Hookah Lounge/catering

Overall amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Our waitress was so sweet (was her second day, but so welcoming and efficient). We went pretty late so caught a 10 min glimpse of the belly dancing. We decided to go with the shareable feast because we wanted to try so many things but it was definitely meant for 3-4 people. It came with the app sampler and multiple kebobs which were super tasty. Even the house salad was spiced perfectly. So much food and two drinks for under $100. We took some things home, but if we had more room the entire meal would have been devoured. They make their own pita, and our only regret was not getting a chance to try their pizza. Will definitely be back.

It was an unexpected surprise. Food was incredible, such variety. Really looking forward to going back. Our waitress was on her second day and was awesome. Thank you all for everything.

The freshness and flavors here are always a hit of pure pleasure to my taste buds! Mario has the finest Mediterranean cuisine for nearly 30 years . I can not more highly recommend trying out his consistently delicious food!!!

This was my first visit to this amazing restaurant and really I’d never taste a food like this before. They know how to cook and prepare your meal. I’m pretty sure they have a wide experience.

We met Nicole, one of their employees around 9PM at night. Since we were visiting town for business @brownrigg.insure we had a short window of time to visit the Stock Yard area and didn't smoke hookah. But, in case we had time tommorow, Nicole showed us the ambiance of the hookah lounge. The outdoor section transported you to a different time and place due to the juxtaposition of light and perspective. I felt like we were on the set of a film.

Check out the back patio, bring some art to sketch or a poem to read. You'll feel right at home.

I came once back in 2007 & hadn't been back since. MAN, I was missing out! My fiancé and I came for an impromptu Monday night date night. He'd never been, but was delighted as soon as we walked in the door. The atmosphere is beautiful & we loved that it was a quiet night. We ordered some of the aramish, some tabbouleh, and a couple of gyros. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were gorgeous. We are both huge Mediterranean food fans & we cannot WAIT to go back!

Amazing! The food is SO FRESH! I found this place about a month ago, and I have returned at least four times already. They bake their pitas, and they come out steaming hot and puffy. The tabouli and hummus are made fresh and you can taste the quality. The lamb shank is so tender and tasty! It comes with potatoes and carrots, just like a roast. Check them out! You will be back for more!

We stopped by Byblos on a Wednesday night, we were greeted by Marios Hedary and half price bottles of wine! What a win! We ordered the sharable feast, a great way to try SO MANY different dishes! To our surprise, this was more than enough food for the both of us! We enjoyed a bottle of Pinot Grigio with dinner, and then grabbed a bottle of cab while we took our time in the Hookah lounge! We will be back on the weekend for the belly dancers, but also on a quiet weeknight! We got 5 star service, recommendations from Marios, himself AND learned of the rich history of Byblos restaurant and their family.

Fantastic food. Excellent service. It’s supposed to have a lively night experience but we were early in the afternoon. Demolished the vegetarian combo. There’s a lunch buffet that ends around three. Highly recommended. There is a parking lot just north of the building kinda hard to see when the street is so busy.

Mario and staff offer Great Food + Service in a Central Location on Main St. Highly Recommended!

My husband and I frequent this place and we absolutely love it. The best Mediterranean Lebanese food we’ve had! Excellent service, amazing food and great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, hookah lounge a bonus!

Love this place! Still has the same character and charm as it did 15+ years ago. Food, ambience, etc exactly as I remember. This place is true to itself and doesn't buy into restaurant industry trends: so refreshing! Love the hookah longue, which is also almost exactly the same as it was 15 years ago, except now there is somehow an awesome outdoor courtyard with a soothing fountain! Love this place as much as I did back in high school and will always drop by whenever I'm in Fort Worth.

Visiting from out of town and wanted Middle Eastern cuisine. Wow!!! This place exceeded my expectations, by far. I wish I could give more than five stars. Outstanding service. Hefty portions. Very reasonably priced. The best part is, the taste!! You can taste all of your traditional Middle Eastern spices and flavors. The food is prepared with soul and from the heart.
I definitely recommend to anyone. Especially who hasn't experienced this cuisine.

I can't wait to go back! True Lebanese cuisine, finely crafted and exquisitely presented. Chef Joel's Garlic Whip is the best I've ever had and is the real deal; no fillers. Though Falafel is not my favorite, his Falafel has made me a fan. Not the usual deep fried overcooked; his is crispy but oh so tender. My family also ordered Baba Ghanouj, which I haven't been able to find since I last visited Omar's near Seattle. It was creamy, and had the right balance of sesame paste, garlic and lemon. The same can be said of the Hummus. Yes! We ordered three appetizers just to try them all. For dinner I had the Mix Grill which included Kafta, Taouk and Shish Kabob. The chicken was moist and tender, and perfectly seasoned, same for the Kafta and Taouk. And each with the Garlic Whip will have you swooning. My husband had the Beef Shawarma which he devoured. For dessert, Baklava and Namoura. The Lebanese way of making Baklava is not the sickening sweet kind like other Mediterranean cuisines. Theirs includes a sprinkling of pistachio's on top and just the right amount of honey and walnuts. I'd never had Namoura before so it was a great surprise. It was moist, almondy, and the hit of orange blossom flavor was delightful. Joel, has 19 years experience as a chef and was classically training. He and his wife are friendly, personable and eager to please. The restaurant was super clean and décor was hip and modern. What a refreshing addition to the staid restaurant fare in Lake Mary!

The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I loved it! I wish I had taken more pics of the food!

Food was good and the belly dancer was entertaining. We got the Mezza appetizer which was a nice sampler since this was our first Mediterranean restaurant. Didn't have time gor a hookah, guess we'll have to come back.

This place is a vibe for sure. Down to earth feel. The server, the food and drinks were top tier 🤌🏽🤌🏽 absolutely delicious and flavourful. Plus you get soooo much food. Totally worth the price.

Came for Mother's Day Brunch and will come back 1k times. There was such a great variety of dishes on the buffet, including vegetarian. Staff was helpful and the drinks were fantastic.

My spouse and I had a terrific time! 😊 The atmosphere was gorgeous and relaxing; the service was friendly and helpful; the drinks were delicious; and the hookahs were delightful.

We got jasmine shisha, two mojitos, arak, and a margarita for less than $80 (after 20% tip). Looking back, I think I should've tipped bigger, and I'll remember to do so when we go back.

We arrived too late to try the food, so I can't speak for that. But everything else was perfect.
