• Mediterranean • Orange
Booked 3 times today
Byblos Café, originally a Mediterranean market, has been a staple in the orange circle since the 50’s. It was sold to Adel and Zalfa Mahshi in 1989. The family run business became a favorite in the town for Lebanese cuisine. Many locals loyally frequented the spot for their famous Turkish coffee. In 2022, Daily Dose Hospitality, the crew that also runs Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, purchased the business from the family. While Adel and Zalfa had the opportunity to retire, their son, Tim, joined the team alongside Pedram Yazarlou as operating partners. They have transitioned the cuisine to a Mediterranean fusion style with influences from Greece, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, & Jordan.

    We were seated in the enclosed area and it was a nice atmosphere, quiet but they were playing some music, not too loud. The service was excellent and the food was very good as well.

    Definitely did not expect the food to be as tasty and amazing as it was, loved the flavors and how they all mingled together. The chips and salsa are so addicting, the drinks as well. My only issue was the fact that we weren’t offered water, but the tables around us did. We had to ask our waiter to bring us water. Other than that, everything was great 10/10
