Byblos Cafe

Food was okay there were some items that were not authentic: Greek salad was not fully Greek salad it was a fusion, had romaine lettuce in there didn't have any bell peppers. The chicken was marinated quite well, not very greasy, everything else was wonderful. I especially like the Turkish coffee, though it was a bit pricey. The ambiance was great, service was great.

Returning for the first time since the son took over, I was delighted to find that the essence of this establishment's culinary excellence remains intact. The food, as always, is delicious, providing a comforting familiarity that makes it a cherished spot. However, a tinge of nostalgia lingered as I discovered one of my all-time favorites, the tabbouleh, had been removed from the menu. Despite this slight disappointment, a silver lining emerged – a pleasant interaction with the owner. Being nice and expressing my fondness for the tabbouleh led to a delightful surprise; they graciously prepared a fresh batch on the spot. It's a testament to the personalized and accommodating service that adds a special touch to the dining experience. Even with the menu change, this place remains one of my favorite spots to grab lunch in the circle. The enduring deliciousness of the food and the warm hospitality make it a go-to destination, and I look forward to many more satisfying visits in the future.

Let me first state that my mother has been coming to this location since the early 80's. My husband and I have been dining here since 2019, so we felt it super fitting to have our rehearsal dinner for our March wedding at Byblos Cafe....and boy were we blown away with everything from the smallest details, like our personalized menus and cute bride and groom drawing, to the delicious food carefully prepared for our occasion. The entire process from start to finish was such a breeze (which is super helpful while planning your entire wedding!) and Susan was a complete dream to work with. The night of was filled with wedding day anxiety and such, but we were able to unwind with family and friends and enjoy a meal with wonderful food, incredibly thoughtful and friendly staff members, and even a special Turkish coffee reading for me (the bride :). So, if you are thinking of a cute, long time family owned (I still consider this a family ran business after hearing all the stories that night!) right in the heart of Old Towne Orange, look no further than Byblos Cafe. They will treat you like family and create for you an experience you'll never forget!

My husband wanted to try their Turkish coffee so we thought we'd try this place. Walking in we were greeted by a very nice host. She sat us right away. The whole place is very nice. The ambiance is welcoming and the customer service is Superb. Jordan took our order and we asked for suggestions. He gave us great ideas on what to order since it was our first time here. We started with the hummus and pita bread. It was yummy! I ordered the FABulous salad with chicken Kebab. It was so delicious. My hubby ordered the Lebanese Breakfast and he LOVED it! We really enjoyed our meal and Jordan was AWESOME! We highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try something different but delicious! We also ordered the Baklava. Omg! SO GOOD!!!

Yum, yum, yum. Byblos Cafe had great service, food and ambiance. Our server was awesome and the chicken garlic wraps were to die for! The ice tea was delish. Definitely going back here sometime soon! Close to the Orange Circle, just a block away and lots to see and do in this wonderful little downtown.
