“ Bright color, full of taste, I have eaten a lot of delicious food here, this is also a very unique one, I will order it again ”
“ Been living in the foothills almost my entire life and I only recently discovered this place. Been coming here ever since. Truly a gem. Everything is so fresh and tasty. Service has always been on point and everyone at the restaurant is so nice. It's been really hard for me to go to any other spot when I'm craving a Mediterranean dish. Feel free to try it for yourself if you don't believe me. Thank you Byblos! ”
“ Byblos Mediterranean Bakery is amazing! The classic pita bread is a must-order, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, paired with homemade hummus that's perfectly spiced! The meat wraps are generously portioned, with tender, juicy lamb, and the yogurt sauce is refreshing and cuts through the richness. The freshly baked sesame crackers are fragrant, and they are perfect with honey! ”
“ We were next door for a birthday party. Stopped in for lunch before heading home. Ordered at the counter and grabbed a table number. Then waited for a table to become available and seat ourselves. Every item seemed to be freshly made (even the pita bread). So it took about 20-25 mins for our foods to come out. (Thankfully we had party favors from the birthday to pass time for my kids). The foods were delicious so the wait was def worth it. We noticed lots of regulars stopped in. Def a local fav. Wished Byblos is a bit closer to us. Would def stop in again if we are in the area. ”
“ This new location sits just a few blocks down from the original and luckily nothing has changed as far as taste, family friendly service and the many glorious bites they offer. My love for Byblos runs deep man because from the moment I had one of these flatbreads in 2021, it's be Byblos 4 lyfe. The Za'atar and Mediterranean Cheeses flatbread is one of my favorite things to eat in the whole city. It's salty, cheesy, lemony and delicious every dang time. Baked fresh in a wood fired oven right in front of you. ”
“ So happy that Byblos is back! They were closed down for a bit due to structural damage at their old location;however, they relocated about a block away and still in the city of La Crescenta on Foothill. Their food is great! Expect a line and a little wait - a popular spot for Lebanese-Armenian fare. The freshly baked pita and flatbreads are so good! Ambiance: inside seating available but kinda cramped (weird layout). It's a fast casual restaurant. Locals do mostly takeout and catering. Again, the food is delicious here. ”
“ This tiny spot brings huge Mediterranean flavors. On a Sunday afternoon, wait times were fairly astronomical, but it turned out well worth it. The vegetarian plate was excellent, as was the falafel sandwich. Freshly baked pitas were fluffy and light, and the flatbreads with cheese and zaatar were filled with flavor. The salad was super fresh and delicious. We enjoyed every bite! ”
“ Their new location has finally opened and it's as amazing as always! Missed this food soooo much. Cannot tell you how happy I am to be back here! If you like Mediterranean food, this is the very Best! ”
