After driving past the restaurant many times I finally made a booking and met a friend there for dinner. The service was incredible and after much deliberation and conversation we chose a couple of Starters to share. Several dishes were recommended by staff and they were a good choice. Arnabit - fried cauliflower with tahini sauce was very tasty and elevated with a sprinkle of salt. We also chose Sambousik Blahmeh small Pastry parcels filled with mince, onion and pine nuts. Both very delicious. The main was a Mixed Grill to share with kebabs - lamb, chicken and kafta served with dip, chips and Lebanese salad. The flavour of the kebabs was tasty from the charcoal grill and the chicken was still moist. We really enjoyed the meal and the service was exceptional. Thank you Byblos for a great night. I look forward to my next visit!
Always amazing friendly service. Was our 5th visit this year. Absolutely yummy authentic food and experience. Our favourite restaurant.
Delicious food all our dishes were yum, great service, decor and setting were both attractive, comfortable and with an authentic funky Lebanese atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back to this awesome Lebanese restaurant.

No vegetarian choice on main menu. Quite expensive compared to competition. Food was good though. A bit noisy with the Mediterranean music.

We had a wonderful lunch. The food was great, the service was fantastic. We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived, lovely to see happy staff. A beautiful gem in North Adelaide.
Very friendly staff and great food. The owner was there and he was very friendly too
Delicious food and friendly staff, the food also arrived very quickly after ordering
The was the best I have had will be back
Go to this venue frequently, love the food and the service.
Bad customer service I was hoping for a more enjoyable meal, but the taste and execution fell short. I believe there is significant room for improvement in the culinary aspect of this establishment.
Delicious food, amazing service and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic!!
The servings were delicious and very generous. Our server was having her first night and was bright and helpful.
Fabulous food. The waitress was a little inattentive and there were only two other people in the room eating.
Food was excellent unfortunately we had to go up to the counter to ask for everything we needed, no one came near us to ask if we needed another drink or more to eat. Our used dishes were still on the table an hour when we left, an hour after we finished lunch. Lovely restaurant and great food but the table service left a lot to be desired. With thanks Christine Lock
great food and service we will definitely be back soon
been here before however this time we found the food took far too long to come out and the chicken was quite dry.. other than that it was a great experience
Fantastic venue starters mains deserts and coffee ten out of ten
We really enjoyed the place ,the meal and the service
meats were overcooked&dry as& tough& hard2cut& far2much garlic covering baby octopus that was huge&supposed2be lemony but couldn't taste lemon coz so much garlic (when last ate here got seafood platter& not one thing was garlicy, so wasn't expecting big garlic taste this time& was way2much...... service& staff& pace were good though& giving up on them yet, so will be back2try again, but next time have2ask@garlic& can't presume all seafood not have huge garlic taste.........
This was great, the food was fantastic and just like being back in Beirut. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the music was just at the right level that we could still have a conversation. Excellent evening!
Food was great. Very friendly waiters and great service. Will definitely go back 😊
Restaurant cold and lacking atmosphere. Service fairly inattentive given how quiet they were. Food quality very good though.
Amazing food and service. 2nd visit will be back again.
Excellent service, meals were generous and tasted sensational. Came away with an enjoyable evening.
Delicious food like always , very friendly and fast service 👌
Attended for my son’s birthday and the food and service was excellent. When we said it was his birthday and ordered one of the sweet drinks they rushed to add a small piece of cake with a sparkler and played happy birthday for him making the restaurant all clap and cheer. It was a very nice touch. Thank you.
Lovely restaurant and lovely people and service was quick and polite
Great food & great service, returning customer and will continue coming back.
A variety of choice table spaces, great ambience, friendly, respectful and professional staff. Delicious food, fascinating desserts, beautifully presented, and clean toilets. Highly recommend.
tasty, fresh, fast, flavourful food (stuff we know but done slightly differently with more different flavours added with different spices)....... Staff are friendly, but coz so busy on both levels of restaurant, not everyone got chance2be trained in everything......... Had few small stuff-ups but staff offered fixups/remakes2fix issues&the2nd offeringd were fantastic......... Very warm inside on winter night, but don't leave balcony doors open 4balcony diners or you'll freeze upstairs in 10minutes........
We had the mixed grill platter for 2 and the Byblos salad. It was beautifully presented and had authentic flavour
We were seated upstairs that was freezing cold with doors to outside left open, smoke and fumes coming in from outside smokers. Our main was bought to the table 2 mins after our entrees were put on the table. We were never checked on and asked if we wanted more drinks. We ordered the trio of dips but it only had 2 types of dip, there was no hummus ( thus was evident when our main came and had hummus on it - definitely wasn’t on our trio of dips). Eggplant dip was pretty tasteless. We were so looking forward to coming to the restaurant and it was very disappointing. Main was pretty tasty but chicken was dry,
Beautiful warm bread came out on arrival. Generous meal size. Saw lots of other yummy dishes being served to others.
Lovely tasty food friendly staff really enjoyed it! Recommend a group of 4 at least to try a few dishes.
Great service Friendly staff Really good vibe I was pre warned that there’d be too much food and we needed a doggy bag lol Highly recommend
