Byblos Restaurant

This is the best restaurant in Gainesville. The owner is nice and some of the employees are nice too.

Great Mediterranean food, more Lebanese than anything though. I wouldn't classify this as fine dining however. Ethnic yes, but the Google classification is entirely wrong. Also, be sure to take Tylenol with you on the busy nights or whenever they have belly dancers. They crank the volume up on the sound system to the point that the windows snake and your heating is affected for days.

My friend and I went to Byblos for lunch to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious and everything we ate was freshly made. We had the lamb kabab and a few different appetizers for some variety. We also had the chicken pizza, which I had not seen at a Lebanese restaurant before, but was also wonderful. Service here was very friendly, attentive and accommodating; bringing crayons and paper to the two small kids we had in tow. We will be coming back with our husbands for date night. They have live entertainment on the weekends. :)

Byblos’ lamb shank and lamb chops are amazing. The staff is really nice. Please support this restaurant, you will not regret it.

Joined Friends for Dinner who are Lebanese so there was a certain amount of assistance to the food we ate, But without a doubt eating here was a delightful experience.
The Food was totally delicious and plated with perfection.
Faye and I will go back another time when we are in the Gainesville, Va area
