Byblos Restaurant Gießen in Gießen

Very delicious, and we received dates and an appetizer in time to break our fast! :)

Such a great shop, we got dates for iftar and they were all very cute.

Yesterday I went to Byblos with a dear friend and we had a perfect evening. The food was incredibly delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and lovingly decorated, and the service was truly friendly, making a visit here a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It was a wonderful evening; we left satisfied and extremely full :) Until next time, thank you so much!

Fantastic food, great vegan options, excellent service. The eggplant dip is especially recommended. But everything we had was delicious. We had a wonderful evening and will be back soon.

Really great atmosphere the food was also good the service topnoch me and my friend had good time there. A must try restaurant.

Super friendly staff and amazing high quality food with very generous portions. Definitely not the last time!

Amazing food, good service and cozy atmosphere.

From the outside, it looks nice but unassuming. As soon as you step inside, you're suddenly somewhere in the south, somewhere between Greece and Lebanon. I had chicken with fries, cottage cheese sauce, guacamole, and a salad🥗 Waiting for my bus, I found myself on a culinary journey. I highly recommend this place. Every detail is thought out, from the lighting to the chairs.

Small but perfectly formed! Beautifully decorated, friendly service, and the food is excellent! I had the mixed grill and was absolutely delighted; I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

I ate there today with my family and we were absolutely delighted! The service was very friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food was incredibly delicious!! We'll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful evening here and discovered the delicious flavors of Lebanese cuisine. We ordered several mixed grill platters and side dishes with freshly baked bread. Both the chicken and the lamb were perfectly cooked, tender, and deliciously seasoned. They were also served with tasty fried potatoes. The service was very friendly and attentive. The price was right, and we highly recommend this restaurant.

Exceptional, authentic cuisine just like in the Middle East. Very friendly, great atmosphere. A must for food lovers. Highly recommended.

Rami and his team serve incredibly delicious, fresh food made with love here - we visited him for the second time today and left his restaurant with full stomachs and smiles on our faces 🥰

Thank you so much for letting me be your guest today! I felt very comfortable from the very first moment! You can tell you do this with all your heart, and the food reflected that! Made with so much love! And I'm telling you, I'll be back! 😁

Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday at your restaurant ❤️ The best food we've had in ages! You can taste that everything is made with so much heart and love. Very friendly service and a fantastic birthday surprise at the end 😉. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be back soon! Thank you!

Excellent and authentic food, we'll gladly come again.

If you're looking for delicious food, friendly service, and a wonderful atmosphere, this is the place for you! The vegan dishes are imaginative and beautifully prepared. Definitely worth a visit!

Some of the food was new to us and very delicious.

Exquisite flavor combinations; we would have loved to lick our plates clean! Highly recommended! My daughter and I were in Giessen for the first time, and this evening at Byblos was an absolute culinary highlight!

Super friendly and fun service! The food tasted great too, even if you sometimes had to wait a little longer for your meal :).

By far one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at! 😍 We were 100% impressed – our visit was a month ago now, but it's still such a positive memory that I just had to write this review. The entire experience was absolutely delicious, and the value for money is truly excellent 💯. I especially want to highlight the service: incredibly friendly, attentive, and proactive – simply top-notch! 👏 A definite recommendation 👍 We'll definitely be back! 😊

We were quite impressed. The service was attentive, friendly, and pleasantly unobtrusive – we never felt like we were waiting, but also not like someone was constantly hovering at our table. Just the right balance. The food truly won us over. The flavors were surprising and perfectly balanced; nothing seemed generic or "standard." You can tell that someone who cooks here puts thought into it. Delicious – from the appetizer to the last course. The atmosphere was also perfect: quiet, warm, and inviting. All in all, a very enjoyable evening. We'll definitely be back.

We visited Byblos for the first time today and were absolutely thrilled. I can't single out any one dish because everything tasted so delicious and fresh. There's really nothing to criticize. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive; we immediately felt welcome. The ambiance is also lovely and cozy. We even received a complimentary dessert at the end – fantastic hosts! We'll definitely be back!!

Incredible, unique! A truly delicious and beautifully decorated restaurant. We had five appetizer platters and four main courses, and there wasn't a single thing to complain about. Many thanks to the friendly server who even brought me my watch after I'd forgotten it.

Highly recommended! Delicious food and friendly staff. We're looking forward to our next visit.

Very friendly and welcoming service, a lovely atmosphere, and delicious food. You can certainly find cheaper options, but the prices are definitely reasonable. A truly wonderful experience, thank you so much, and I'd love to come back again…

The food selection is something different, something extraordinary for some people. Long waiting times between arrival and being served. We had to wait a long time for our food. And in the end, you have to keep a very close eye on the bill, otherwise you might be in for a surprise (not in your favor).

Byblos Restaurant in Giessen is simply a true gem! The food is outstanding – every dish is freshly prepared, bursting with flavor, and presented with meticulous attention to detail. The quality of the ingredients and the authentic aromas are particularly impressive, making each visit a special experience. The ambiance is also beautiful: stylish, cozy, and modern all at once. You feel comfortable from the moment you arrive and can enjoy the evening in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. A perfect place to enjoy excellent food and have a wonderful time. Highly recommended – I will definitely be back.

The food was good, but you should allow plenty of time. The loud techno music at the front was incredibly annoying and kind of ruined the otherwise nice atmosphere.

The food was truly excellent, and the service was very friendly. I had a vegan platter and was absolutely delighted! The ambiance is lovely too, which you wouldn't guess from the outside. I will definitely be back.

We had a mixed selection of mostly vegetarian appetizers, all of which were absolutely delicious. The subsequent mixed grill was just as good! Very friendly service. We'll definitely be back soon!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it!

The food is great. Also very suitable for vegans.

We ordered takeout. Since mine was listed under "Appetizers," I ordered two. Now I have one left for tomorrow. 😅 Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. There was a great selection of vegan dishes. The staff were very friendly, and we were given a welcome falafel. When we mentioned we were continuing our journey, the owner offered us the use of the restroom.

Very friendly people and delicious food! I spontaneously picked something up and definitely didn't regret it. Next time I'll allow myself more time!

Delicious dishes, freshly prepared. Staff and owner are super friendly! Highly recommended!

Great food in a very nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

The food, and especially the lamb, was delicious. The service was very friendly, although later on, when the restaurant was quite full, a little more attention would have been appreciated. Overall, though, a highly recommended restaurant.

Highly recommended, very nice owner. Not exactly cheap, but absolutely worth a visit :)

We were lucky and got a table spontaneously on Saturday afternoon – but calling ahead is recommended. The food was fantastic – incredibly delicious, generous portions, and super fresh. The service was warm and attentive. We're looking forward to our next visit!

Super friendly and attentive staff. Great, freshly prepared food in a pleasant atmosphere. I especially appreciate the wide selection of everyday dishes, and that vegans and vegetarians will also find plenty of options.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simply perfect! We dined at this restaurant today and were absolutely thrilled. The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and prepared with so much love – you can taste the quality in every bite. The service was also first-class: very friendly, attentive, and professional. The staff made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was pleasant and cozy, so you immediately feel at ease. All in all, a completely perfect experience! We will definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. 😎💓

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The staff were incredibly friendly and cheerful. We felt completely at ease. We'll definitely be back – highly recommended!

I had lunch at Byblos. From the outside, I expected a typical, rather unassuming snack bar. But inside, I was pleasantly surprised. The decor was beautiful and harmonious. The service was excellent—friendly, professional, and incredibly approachable. And the food was absolutely delicious. The lamb skewers were very good. The chicken was also tasty and tender. The little falafel hearts were adorable. And they even offered us a complimentary dessert afterward. My wife and I arrived hungry and left happy and satisfied as we continued our journey. Thank you so much! And best of luck with your future business!

Today, the two of us ate at Byblos for the first time. From the outside, it looks a bit like a snack bar, but there's a lovely dining room in the back. The service was very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent! We shared a platter with hummus, diced potatoes, eggplant, and other items for two people. Everything was really delicious and more than plentiful. We even got a complimentary dessert to top it off. Highly recommended! I'll definitely go back.

Incredibly authentic and delicious food! Great selection, extremely friendly and attentive service, and an ouzo to finish. We were completely satisfied – if you're looking for Lebanese food, this is the place to go :)

Very friendly and attentive service, delicious food, would love to come again ^^

Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We were a group of eight at Byblos and were treated to some very delicious food. We were advised to order both the appetizers and main courses as a colorful selection. That was an excellent decision! There was more than enough of everything, and every dish was extremely tasty! We deducted one star for the service because we had to wait quite a while, even for drinks we wanted to order in between. But that was really the only thing we could criticize.

We had a very delicious meal this evening. Thank you!

There was a great selection of dishes. We really, really enjoyed everything. We would definitely recommend it and would eat here again anytime.

Best restaurant visit I've had in Giessen! Super friendly owners and really good food with a great vegan selection! Everything we tried was top-notch!

Byblos is a winner all around: authentic Lebanese cuisine, wonderfully aromatic and prepared with great attention to detail. The mezze are a real highlight – fresh, perfectly seasoned, and ideal for sharing. The main courses are also incredibly delicious and very generously portioned. On top of that, the service is exceptionally warm and welcoming: attentive, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable without being pretentious. The price and quality are perfectly matched.

Very tasty vegetarian/vegan food, very generous portions, very friendly service, we will gladly come again.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. I have no idea why it only showed 1 out of 5 stars.

It was great, and the staff were very friendly and positive. While eating, I realized I'd love to come back to Byblos more often. You could really tell how much they enjoyed it, and we felt very comfortable and were very satisfied. 🌟👌🏻🤗🙂‍↔️

Highly recommended in Giessen! We visited this restaurant on the recommendation of business partners and were delighted. The ambiance is very well-maintained, and the rear seating area is pleasantly quiet and clean. The staff was warm and attentive from the start, providing first-class service. Our mixed grill platters were delicious and beautifully presented. We were particularly impressed by the owner's personal attention and the exceptional cleanliness throughout the entire establishment. I can only echo the recommendation and will definitely be back.

Great restaurant, the food tasted amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly.

Everything I ate here tasted excellent. Very friendly service, you feel very comfortable.

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

Very good food and very nice service

An absolute delight! The food at Byblos is outstanding – everything is very fresh, authentic, and incredibly delicious. The service is also first-class: very attentive, warm, and always friendly, making you feel welcome immediately. Add to that the beautiful ambiance, which perfectly complements the experience. We will definitely be back and can wholeheartedly recommend Byblos!

The four of us had a delicious dinner here on New Year's Eve. It was absolutely fantastic and reminded us of our trip to Lebanon! The service was excellent, everything was very clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food was incredibly tasty. Thank you for a wonderful evening; we will definitely be back! See you soon :-)

Absolutely delicious. Hummus 👍, great service!

Great selection, excellent taste, very, very good, I'll be back.

Edit 01/2026 I can only comment on my meal that day; we left most of the food on our plates. Perhaps I'm spoiled by other restaurants, but "should I bring some more bread?" is different from "would you like to order more bread?" The fact that they no longer have a rotisserie skewer is not something I would consider a culinary improvement. I can only say that I have rarely been so disappointed by a restaurant visit. Edit 12/2025 We were very disappointed after our second visit. Only the hummus and tzatziki were good. The waiter asked if he should bring more bread (a small pitta), which promptly appeared on the bill. The muhmara tasted like ajvar with walnuts, the "lamb" tasted more like an old sheep, and the coleslaw, in my opinion, was store-bought and not tasty either. The shawarma wasn't cooked on a spit; it was noticeably cut into fries, like the pre-cooked salad dressing you sometimes find in supermarkets. The seasoning was unpleasant. The fries and grilled green peppers were okay. The prices are rather high, and for that price, it was truly disappointing. I can't understand the other reviews. ######### (2022) Highly recommended! Homemade, wonderfully seasoned, high-quality cold and hot appetizers. There's a restaurant hidden in the back. We'll be back! The price-performance ratio is excellent.

Food was amazing. We had various dips and meat platter and we were blown away how delicious everything was. Portions are so big that we took three take out boxes for home. I recommend 100%.

Very nice and delicious. Snow White looked great.

We ate here for the first time today and were absolutely delighted. The food is fresh, and there are so many fantastic appetizers and dips, all of which are delicious on their own and perfectly complement the main courses. The meat dishes were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning of everything was absolutely delicious. The homemade lemonades are also highly recommended. The service and friendliness are outstanding; it's a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Great place, keep up the good work!

From the street, it looks like a snack bar, but inside it's a small restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. I've eaten at Byblos several times, and the staff have always been very friendly and the food excellent. The menu also offers a wide selection for vegetarians and vegans. I've always found the wait times to be perfectly reasonable. I can only mention one negative point, and that's the room temperature (at least in winter). Unfortunately, it was always too cold for us on all our visits. Maybe we'll just come in the summer next time. 😉

Absolutely recommended! The food was outstanding, a true culinary highlight! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous. The service was very friendly and attentive. Everything was just right. I would gladly return.

I had lunch at Byblos restaurant today and I'm absolutely thrilled. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, the service was excellent, and everything was truly worth the price. I already regret not taking some of the delicious appetizers home with me. I will definitely be back. Many thanks to the chef!

We drove all the way from afar to get there... we had to wait 30 minutes for drinks and 1.5 hours for food. The portions were small for the price, and there weren't many fries. The guacamole was tasty, though. Unfortunately, we won't be back. 😕

Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere, but a bit pricey!

The food and service are simply top-notch 👌👌

We ate here for the first time today and received a warm welcome. The house's recommended appetizer was delicious, almost too much for us. We'd love to come back.

We ate there in December and were delighted with the delicious food, friendly service, and lovely dining room. Also great for takeaway.

Amazing mezze – everything fresh and made with love. I usually don't even need a main course; we order a whole platter of appetizers (mezze) so everyone can try each dish. Yesterday we only had vegan appetizers – absolutely delicious. Everyone loved them. This just goes to show that, in my opinion, Lebanese cuisine is one of the best in the world. Since everything is made fresh, you should expect a bit of a wait and not go there starving. But the wait is definitely worth it. I'm also really glad that there's such a great Lebanese restaurant in Giessen. I haven't found a place with such a variety of excellent mezze in Frankfurt or Offenbach, for example, in 10 years.

Lots of vegetarian options, and delicious.

Very good food and friendly service

We really enjoyed it. Delicious food and very nice people! The portions were very generous!

Delicious food and very friendly staff! Fair prices. We will definitely come back when we are in the area again! Thank you!

I really love the food at Byblos; everything tastes absolutely delicious. However, the wait for the food is far too long. All the guests arrived at the restaurant at the same time, and I understand that the food is freshly prepared and that takes time, but it took 2.5 hours for our main courses to arrive. The individual dishes then arrived several minutes apart, which is simply inconvenient for a group. Perhaps it would be better to shorten the menu or accept fewer reservations for the same time slot. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident; on our last three visits, we always waited a long time (1.5 to 2 hours, even though not all the tables were occupied at once), but this time it was even longer.

Ordered food for pickup, friendly service, quick preparation, great taste even when picked up, would order again.

Super friendly staff. The food was phenomenal. We'll definitely be back!

Very friendly staff, delicious food, and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.

Me and two of my business partners went to this restaurant before heading to a meeting. Exceptional food, tremendous customer service and quint atmosphere.

It was very tasty !!! 5 stars from Argentina.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent and very friendly. The decor is stylish and clean. I highly recommend it!

A superbly conceived cuisine with refined dishes that delight both the eye and the palate. Every plate is a small work of art! Add to that an exceptionally friendly and attentive team that makes the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. Here you feel truly welcome – and will definitely want to return. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We were a party of four at the restaurant on Saturday (November 22, 2025), and unfortunately, our visit didn't go as planned. The food we ordered, which was really good, didn't arrive at the same time, so we couldn't start eating together. After we finished eating, the empty plates weren't cleared away. They were still on our table when we left (about 30 minutes later). There were also problems with the drinks: Our second order didn't arrive even after 15 minutes, so we had to call the waitress again and order again. The waitress was friendly, but clearly overwhelmed. She seemed to have to do everything herself – greeting and seating guests at the entrance, taking orders, bringing drinks, clearing tables, etc. This significantly impacted the overall service. With better service, it definitely would have been another star.

I went to Byblos Restaurant today and I'm absolutely thrilled! The value for money is truly excellent; you get more than fair price for the quality and quantity. The food was really, really good: super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and simply incredibly delicious. You can immediately tell that they cook with a lot of love. The portions were also generous, so you definitely leave full and satisfied. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Overall, a fantastic experience. I will definitely be back and can highly recommend this restaurant!

Very friendly owner. The food was excellent value for money. If we were from the area, we would come back regularly. Highly recommended! :)

A lovely little restaurant with delicious food. They also have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. The service is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone from Giessen or visiting the area.

We had a delicious meal and the service was incredibly friendly! Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome, friendly service, and incredibly delicious food. We felt very comfortable in this restaurant and will definitely be back! 5 out of 5 stars!

I ate here for the first time today and it was incredibly good. The service was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was surprisingly lovely, surprising because from the outside and in the entrance area it looks like a small snack bar. But inside, it has a very authentic atmosphere with particularly beautiful tableware. I had the vegan wrap, which was labeled "for a light meal." And I can't remember ever having eaten such a good wrap. The portion size was truly generous for the price. I will definitely come back.

So incredibly delicious! Why isn't every restaurant like this? Lovingly prepared dishes, a wide selection, very fresh ingredients. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Prepared with so much love. I'm full for the next two days 😄

Very tasty food and friendly service

Everything super fresh and plentiful
