Byblos Mediterranean Grill

I’m a regular here as my work is nearby. Their food is consistently good and never disappoints. I like to call in to place my order to speed up as it gets crowded during the lunch times.

This place has great food. It’s not as cheap as I’d like but the portions are big and everything I’ve tried is tasty.

1^st timer for me snd pleasantly pleased. It is somewhat of an empty shopping center and they have a back corner closest to the Taco Bell side of the center so you have to look for it but it is worth it. Plenty of tables to sit down and eat inside plenty of items to choose from and turns out the cook is also Mic Moses a DJ in Orange County there are videos of him on YouTube I was watching them as I was waiting for my food. Great food!

This is the top of the list for Mediterranean Food in Orange County. There staff have excellent customer service skills and the food taste is fantastic, and fresh. I had the Chicken & Beef Shawarma Combo Plate and added Rice wow, It is a lot of food.
They are only open M-​F for local business and nearby Kaiser Hospital. 10:30am — 7:30pm. Sign up for Unilocal check in for 10% off your bill. Bön Appetite.

Just gotta give another high five to one of my favorite places to eat. Seriously their food is fresh. The family is always happy working together. Their staff is on point even as crazy hectic as it get in there. My original go to was the chicken shawarma and don’t get me wrong it’s still delish. However I now normally get the the kafta and kabob meal with no rice extra tabouleh. OH MY GOODNESS !!! The kabob is literally to die for. It’s usually about med-​rare which is perfect for me. I have some coworkers who don’t care for that because they like their meat well done. IMO that would ruin it. I soooo wish I could figure out how they marinate that meat though. I mean it’s perfection. The balance of sweetness that must go in their marinade with the beefs natural juices. My mouth waters just thinking about it. So glad I work close to this joint. I’m pretty sure it’s heaven on earth.

This was my 2^nd time here. Silly me assumed it was a Greek place and I was excited to get my Gyro fix. Oops. You’re a dork, Sheila!
My date and I ordered the beer shwarma. He somehow knew to order a reasonable portion size, while my platter could have fed a family of 4.
We got there maybe an hour before closing. That may have had to do with 1) them selling out of the chicken and 2) the beef just not that great. I wasn’t a fan of the Tanini either, but that could have been my distaste overall. The pita was okay, the hummus delicious, but I just wasn’t sold enough on the overall taste experience.
Not sure I’ll return, unless for the chicken, during the day.
Don’t write them off though. Judge for yourself.

I was in the area and wanted to try the falafel.
This was the worst falafel. I am so disappointed.

Byblos Mediterranean Grill will work if you are in the area.
Located in the middle of a strip mall on Tustin Avenue next to the 91 freeway, you would be forgiven for never have hearing about Byblos Mediterranean Grill. Little in the way of hype, advertising or Unilocal love seems to have been given to this Shawarma and Wrap joint. Even the signage on the building itself seems subdued. The interior is a modest fast casual affair with notably reasonable prices and friendly service. With little thought about it I walked up and order the #9 Beef Shawarma. Within 5 minutes my number was called and it was game time.
The Beef Shawarma plate consists of marinated top sirloin Angus beef cooked on a vertical spit (think Gyro meat), served with a tahini sauce, a gigantic pool of hummus, chopped tomatoes, pickled turnips and comes flaked with pita bread. The pita bread was easily the star of the show as it was fresh, moist and, well. straight up banging. The hummus was quite good with a nice kick of olive oil in the finish.
It went downhill from there.
The Beef was far too over-​cooked for my liking and as salty as a haters tears. I wouldn’t go this route again. The chopped tomatoes were chopped tomatoes; Nothing more nothing less. The pickled turnips were equally uninspiring.
Final word: The pita bread and hummus on their own are fantastic in their own right. The Beef, tomatoes and turnips had me saying the old cliché «not so much».

Best food in town! I love the beef plate. The steak is juicy, tender and so full of flavor. I keep coming back for more. Best hummus I ever had! It also comes with a flavorful tabbouleh salad, rice pilaf, and super soft pita bread! Great customer service too!

I rarely go outside my comfort zone of food, but I’m so glad I did with this place. It’s AMAZING. I LOVE their food here and the people are so nice. It’s a must try.

Byblos is my to-​go joint for lunch during work when I’m craving some good olé Mediterranean food. Owner and staff are friendly and always smiling.
My favorite’s are the beef kabab, chicken shawarma wrap and kafta kabab. ALWAYS GET A SIDE OF THEIR GARLIC SAUCE. I would literately dip my shoe in that sauce and eat it.
Portions are perfect and I’m able to save some for dinner later.
Lunch time can get a little packed, but I love how you can order online or place a phone order, which I highly recommend since it can get THAT packed.

So. Delicious!!! I always go with the chicken kabob combo, skip out on the tabouli (not a tabouli fan) and get double hummus. The hummus is straight addicting.

Great place hidden away in the back of a mostly vacant strip mall. The food was good, the prices were good and the service was good. I ordered the Chicken Kabob and it was flavorful and cooked well. This family-​owned establishment is a great place to get a quick and delicious meal if you are in Anaheim

Delicious meat — I had the chicken shawarma plate with the lebanese rice. The meat was very tender and well seasoned. At first, I regretted not asking for the plate to be made extra spicy, but once I tasted the meat, realized that only non-​flavorful food requires hot sauce to mask the blandness.
Definitely a go to lunch spot!

I’ve had this place bookmarked for a long time! A few of my clients kept telling me that it’s the best mediterranean place around. So my sister and I finally came here a couple days ago and let me tell you, they were not lying!
The customer service was on point! The guy who took our order was very friendly and nice. I asked him for a suggestion on what I should get and I was very happy with what I ordered. I got the chicken kabob and my sister got the beef kabob. Both were AMAZING!

Huge portions. I always have leftovers for the next day
Tasty food, flavorful, the hummas is the best!
Tender meat, I have stomach issues,
I find a place with REAL And TASTY meat… This place has it.
Awesome staff. The guy who is always at the register (maybe one of the owners) remembers everyone, chats with you, super nice.
Love this place!

Went to Anaheim for an event, and Unilocaled for a place that offers WiFi so I can get some work done. Byblos popped up, and naturally I got excited bc:
1) I was hungry for some authentic mediterranean food
2) I didn’t want some dinky sandwich from the nearby café (which shall remain nameless) and 3) Byblos had a 4.5 star rating.
I didn’t want to take chances so I called them up and asked if they offered free wifi. The guy on the phone assured me it’d be no prob for him to give me the password. I quickly drove over and when I got there, I looked at the guy dead in the eye and said «Well, is your kafta any good??»
Without hesitation, Ryan, who I learned is the infamous hip-​hop artist from the OC known as ‘Mic Moses’ assured me that the kafta is a great choice. I went with the chicken and kafta combo and cleared the plate –whilst working on my laptop in serene peace.
5-​stars for great food, amazing customer service and evident repeat-​customers.
If you’re sitting at the corner with a device plugged in and notice a girl giving you the evil eye, it’s probably because you took my corner office with the window.

Love, love, LOVE this place!!! The food is sooo good! I always get the #5 –Beef & Chicken Kabab, no tabbouleh, double rice, with hummus. The beef AND chicken are always juicy, never over done, and seasoned to perfection every single time!
Tip: I find it so much easier to call my order in ahead, especially since it’s right down the street from the Kaiser Permanente hospital and it seems to be a favorite of the doctors and nurses there.
Anyway, everything in this combo is delicious! Try, try, try… ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

I came here knowing I would be close by and wanted to knock this off my list. I chose to get #2 kafta kabab ($ 9.50 with drink it’s $ 11.04) that came with Lebanese rice, pita bread, hummus with paprika, and tabbouleh. Their tabbouleh tasted pretty good, tasted very freshly made. The kafta was tender and moist and I can taste the herbs in the kabab. The garlic sauce was good too though you have to ask for it. Their pita bread and hummus was good too, the bread was warm and the hummus was good.
Place is located in an vacant plaza with only Carl’s Jr and Taco Bell nearby, kinda thought I missed the place and was about to leave until I saw their sign in the window. Restroom is clean. They take card and plenty of parking. 10% off platter with a Unilocal check-​in.

Hidden in the back corner of this somewhat deserted shopping center is this Mediterranean place which is pretty yum! It is located in a strip of office buildings, which are mostly vacant, along with a Carls Jr. And a Taco Bell. Definitely has a better yum factor than these two!
Ordered the chicken kabob plate that comes with rice, hummus, tabbouleh and pita bread ($ 9.50). The chicken had a great taste and was juicy. It was laid on the rice which was cooked good but wish they would give a bigger portion of. The hummus was delicious and I enjoyed having the paprika over the top. I’m not a big fan of the tabbouleh but it looked heavy in parsley. The pita bread is provided in its own bag and was thin and warm.
For dessert I picked up one of their baklava pieces that are made fresh daily and cut onto a plate. It was so delicious with the right flakiness, crunch and sweetness! Definitely a fan! The cost was $ 2.43 for a piece.
I took my food to go but the place looked a little older. It did have a patio area to eat outside and free wifi. There was a TV inside showing news as well. I think it needs to be lit up more so it’s easier to find and have a more visible sign. The service was great. The cook brought the food out to me once it was ready bagged and sealed.
