Byblos Mediterranean Cafe

I really liked the food and , the owner, who was an older lady seemed very nice . We are not from Syracuse and were passing on our way from Canada , and it was nice to have an authentic meal in a very simple atmosphere without the stiff white tablecloth service of a fancy restaurant . If you live in Syracuse , please support the owner of this email business. There are less and less small hardworking Business like that , and more and more conglomerates like Paneras amd Chipotle conglomerates.

Maybe we just picked a bad day as I don't see what other reviewers see in this restaurant. The business seems to be struggling and understaffed and that is very unfortunate since the owner and the people who work there are really nice people. However, being nice does not give you a blank check to ignore other people's time. When we ordered our food, we did not know it will take an hour to get the food given no one else was sitting in the restaurant when we got there. I understand there might have been delivery orders in front of us but that could have easily been communicated. This changed all our plans and half of our group had to leave by the time food got to us. I recommend the owners to work on managing customer expectations by being transparent on the prep time. Edit: I left the review a few days after the service date. So, it is interesting that the business owner claims they had a break-in because that definitey cannot be the case. Anyways, this attitude of blaming other or one-off events for your failure is what stops this business from thriving I think. I am trying to be constructive. Just own your mistake in not communicating prep time to customers and improve on that. Instead of apologizing and owning their mistakes, this is the attitude they choose to go with?

I have only gotten delivery from Byblos, so I can't comment on the atmosphere, but I will say that the food is absolutely delicious! The owner seems to go out of her way to please the customer, and that isn't a common thing these days. There isn't one menu item that I dislike, and even the delivery people are sweet and accommodating. I'm a "regular" and will continue to be for as long as this restaurant is in business. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Vegetarian options: Excellent!

This is a seriously good authentic Lebanese restaurant in Syracuse . Owner violet khabbaz is the congenial hostess . Every menu item is made fresh in house and prepared with love . The super sampler covers every dish you would normally order and is so very reasonably priced . Leave space for the walnut baklava- the pastry is the best I have tasted anywhere in the world . Syracuse is so lucky to have a restaurant of this standard Vegetarian options: Typical comprehensive Lebanese menu with veg options Parking: An area where there is plenty of parking
