Cafe Byblos Mediterranean Grill

Chicken schwarma was a great choice! I got extra salad instead of rice with no up charge. Meal also came with a very generous portion of hummus. Super tasty and reasonably priced!

For Denver it’s definitely good. Good service. Food is always delicious. They have the Mediterranean flavors down. Big fan of their hummus

I had a small problem with addiction to Byblos’ kabobs but have since pulled my life together. take out once a month for my fix. lovely staff, neighbourhood feel, perfect spot for a date out of the city.

We absolutely loved everything we ordered from here. It was our first time trying Byblos café since we just moved to Denver area but we are definitely coming back. The hummus was one of the best we have ever had, simply perfection! The owner and waitress were so welcoming, friendly and we enjoyed talking to them. We have a 4 month old baby so we chose to have a take out but the atmosphere is very family friendly so we would be coming back for lunch with the baby. Can’t wait to try everything on their menu. We feel so lucky to have this restaurant in our neighborhood.

The food is phenomenal! The sandwiches are to die for! My friend got the chicken kabob sandwich and I got the felafel and both were amazing. And it’s inexpensive, with a friendly staff and clean surroundings. Definitely coming back.

The place smells a bit like smoke so be prepared to leave smelling as if you ate your meal next to the fire pit.
The starters are very good. Their baba ganoush was delicious and it came with plenty of pita bread which was store bought/​cold but fine. we also tried stuffed pita with lamb and beef, they were very good. Then ordered kebab meals which came with salads, hummus and rice. The meat was a bit dry (lamb) but the onions were very good. I wished they had more dipping sauces or more flavor for the lamb. They were very accommodating in replacing the rice with more salad for me and the portions were big.

So the food portions we’re small and honestly I have had better, the concern with devour is immense but the comfort if the chairs was subpar. If your close it’s OK if your hungry also but honestly I’d pass…

My all time favorite restaurant in Denver. I always come here if I’m ever craving anything delicious.

I think this place might have been having an off night when we went. But who knows because it was totally empty. I will say this — the spanakopita is highly disappointing. I LOVE spanakopita but this was literally the stuff you find in the appetizer section of the frozen aisle. The salad was a big portion and they did not skimp on the feta, thankfully. The meat platter, for $ 18, was a GREAT deal in portion alone. Unfortunately, everything (lamb/​chicken) was a little overcooked, tough and dry. Maybe it’s not always like that, who knows. I would give it another chance. I’ve heard great things so I’m hoping it will be better next time.

Not great. Food was ok but salty. Table by the door allowed someone’s cigarette smoke in.
No liquor license.
Plus side clean and quiet enough to talk.

Amazing food! Love the selections, generous portions and very reasonably priced. The owner Sam is awesome, service is great. Definitely one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants!
Got the beef kabob — holy moly, so well seasoned. Sister got the lamb kebabs, perfectly cooked and the veggies were perfect. I only have wonderful things to say about this place!

Our friends from Jordan insisted on taking us here instead of our long time favorite Alibaba Grill or Jerusalem. Preconceptions must have gotten the best of me, unfortunately. Even though Café Byblos is a much better looking restaurant, and the foods may be more authentic, the taste is not what I’m used to. Take the hummus, it’s very smooth, but just too «lemony» (didn’t want to say «sour» to sound like it’s gone bad, but…), same thing with the salads. If you happen to be super hungry like I was, bad news for you, all the acidity would make you even more starved, lol.
Good thing our friends know how to order family style and we ended up having a lot of food. The grilled meats, I thought, were over-​charred, especially the ground skewers, so dry that pieces were falling off the sticks and the only flavor profile I could discern was that of burnt. If that’s the authentic flavor, then I’m perfectly happy to go back to the juicier, less acidic, «Americanized» way. It says a lot when the first thing in front of me that was finished were the French Fries with ketchup. My miss, I know.
Just for comparison’s sake, the Turkish coffee is excellent here and is brewed the Turkish way. A floral, strong shot of coffee lightly sweetened and served without cream. I’d come back for just the coffee and perhaps dessert as we didn’t get to try any this time.

I recently got take out from here with a bunch of friends. And… WOW. It is delicious. I am so happy to have found an authentic mediterranean spot in Denver.
We sampled a bunch of dishes– lamb kabobs, beef shawarma, and lentil soup. I had the gyros platter. No complaints here. Serving size was large and I had leftovers for lunch the next day, although it was so good I couldn’t help but eat it as a midnight snack. The tzatziki sauce is so delicious that I savored it and wanted more! Next time maybe I’ll order an extra side of it.
Café Byblos is my new favorite spot to eat in Denver. I’ll definitely be back for dining in and take out.

I regularly spend like $ 40 to have Postmates deliver me this delicious Mediterranean delight — and it’s purely for the hummus.
It’s so smooth, heavy on the tahini, and enough to keep munching for days.
The Greek salad is good too, and I love the brothy lentil soup!

Went here last night with some friends, and we were not disappointed. One is a regular and got her standard dish of gyros with rice, pita, and hummus. Very flavorful. My other friend got the chicken kabobs and couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the chicken was cooked. Maybe a few too many onions but good otherwise. I got veggie combo. The hummus is like butter (absolutely fabulous hummus!); the baba ghanouj had good texture; the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) were mushy (I’ve had better); the filo pie was nothing special; and the tabbouleh was mostly parsley but solid. Overall a great meal though — we all thought so and will all be back. The service was alright as well — water glasses were always full, and the waitress brought out boxes when she saw we were slowing down with lots of food left (huge portions).

This was borderline good. Even Renzio’s (a chain restaurant) has more flavor in its tzatziki sauce. Café Byblos was slow last Saturday. I can see why it gets such high reviews as the atmosphere is welcoming and energetic. Our waitress was super friendly and always smiled. The meat in our gyros was flavorful and fresh. Our drinks were rarely refilled until the only way to get our waitresses attention was to slurp the emptiness of my drink to get her attention. Even a simple gesture of waving at her had no effect. As I mentioned, I can see how this place gets great reviews. However, our experience was a forgettable one.

Maybe we went on an off day but I was not a fan of this place.
First of all, Colorado Public Radio has them as a sponsor for BOGO sandwiches, online and in their pamplet and the girl said they were no longer doing that. The site was recently updated so I felt like she didn’t know what she was talking about.
Second, it’s pretty weak when you’re a restaurant and your best item is fries. My fiancé and I each ordered a gyro, one with fries, one with salad. The theme of our meal was wet. The salad was dripping with water, my gyro was cold and the pita broke apart because it was sopping wet. The gyro meat was tasty so I improvised and made a wet salad out of my wrap.
It seems like it could be an awesome place but I just did not dig it. Yet another pass from me…

There was only one waiter serving the whole restaurant, which is not enough. She wasn’t friendly at all and didnt welcome us at all since we were the only ones there.
The food:
We ordered the Arayes. There were 4 pieces but two of them were burnt so we ate the other two. When we told the waitress to take it off she asked if we wanted something else and we told her no. She didn’t apologize and said that it was not her fault. When we got the bill we found out that she didn’t take the Arayes off. So we asked her to either take it off the bill or get us two new ones, only to get two more burnt ones
The rest of the food was just OK.

All hands down this is one of the best flavorful restaurants in Denver the food is so full of so many different flavors it is amazing !!! the best part about it is everything is pretty healthy here very nice atmosphere

For a place that is so delicious and definitely one of the best Mediterranean places in Denver, I am surprised every time when I come and I am one of the only customers there. Their obscure location is slowing down business because if they were situated anywhere else, their business would be rockin’. Nevertheless, my friends and I constantly come back and it’s one of our go to restaurants.
The restaurant has ample space and is very clean. There are many street parking nearby so it’s never been an issue. They also have a lot as well. The waiters are very friendly and try to have conversations with us. I like how there are a variety of tables available from traditional tables to couch areas where you can eat in a relaxing manner.
Not only is the food top notch quality mediterranean cuisine, they also give you a heaping portion (one plate lasts me two meals). My favorite is definitely the chicken kabob skewers which comes with a side of basmati rice which is so fragrant, and their special yogurt sauce as well as this delicious spicy sauce. I love pairing the different sauces with my meat and rice. It’s an explosion of flavor and such a satisfying meal. Not to mention, they also serve you hummus and warm pita bread in addition to a house salad. It’s so much food! During another visit, i also tried the chicken shawarma which was very saucy and delicious and went so well with the rice. If you can eat more food, try some appetizers! I recommend the calamari or fried potato. Both are great appetizers especially if you have a group of people. I also tried the baklava which wasn’t the best I’ve tried.
The reason I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because it’s always so empty and it lacks the exciting ambience of a restaurant. Otherwise the food is awesome and there is nothing to complain about there. This place deserves more customers so check it out!
