Byblos Restaurant Gießen in Gießen

This was our first time at Byblos Restaurant and we really enjoyed it. From the outside, it looks like a snack bar, but once you sit down inside, its charm is revealed with its Mediterranean, oriental decor. The dishes on the menu were all well-described, with vegetarian, vegan, and meat options. The grilled meat was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. Everything was perfect, and we would happily recommend it!

If it were possible, I would give it more than 5 stars. The food was super tasty and at very fair prices. The vegan selection in particular is very large. The service was also very good and extremely friendly. Absolute recommendation!

We had heard very good things about Byblos and walked in today by chance. The restaurant at the back is very stylishly furnished and the owner gave us really warm and courteous service! The food was super delicious, there was a lot of vegan choice and everything was fresh and homemade! The falafel and dips with bread were particularly good. We will come back!

Delicious food, lots of vegetarian or vegan options, nice decor, very nice host :). Gladly again.

I can highly recommend it. We ate very well there, at reasonably reasonable prices. Very friendly service. The price-performance ratio is right here.

Very tasty food and very nice staff we are very grateful

Really delicious food, definitely one of the best restaurants in the area 👍

My mother, my sister and I had dinner there last night. My sister raved about the restaurant to us - and we were not disappointed! Incredibly delicious fresh food in generous portions, super nice service, cozy atmosphere, great prices - everything was just right! We were there for probably 4 hours - and at the end a dessert was brought to us on the house. So, I will definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back!

Very tasty and prepared with love. The owner is very friendly and makes an effort to satisfy the customer. Special requests are accepted as the most natural thing in the world, you feel comfortable! Thanks!

It was super tasty, thank you! and requests were taken into account :)

The food is really absolutely delicious, you can't do it better. The service is really nice and attentive, the owner is very personable! We're happy to go a little further away :) thank you very much

The Byblos Restaurant is a special and warm place in the middle of Giessen. If you want to eat super delicious Lebanese food - vegan_vegetarian_or with meat... you've come to the right place. The food is fabulous! Everything is very lovingly and beautifully prepared - as we all know, the eye eats too. 😊 The service takes a while, but since the restaurant also delivers and offers food-to-go, it's absolutely understandable. The staff was courteous and very friendly. Toilets clean! Prices are right! Small but nice. Absolutely recommended 👍

Went to Byblos for the second time today. Food was again excellent. Service is great! Absolute risk of repetition😁

Food was very good, just not that hot. The service was quite friendly, but I had to call the waitress for another drink. And after about 15 minutes of waiting we went to the counter to pay. It was very cold in the restaurant so I had to keep my jacket on.

Great store, nice service, gladly again!

From the street, Byblos looks more like a snack bar, but in the back room there is a stylishly furnished, very well-kept guest room. The menu reads Mediterranean with a Lebanese twist, main courses range between 14 and 22 euros. The service is friendly. I start with delicious "Baba Ghanudj (grilled eggplant with peppers, onions, garlic and grange apple juice, with fresh pita bread)" and a pomegranate lemonade. For the main course I choose the "Grill Plate (with chicken shawarma, lamb skewer, French fries, hummus, coleslaw, tzatziki, onions, tomatoes and pepperoni)". This is a good portion, I would have liked a little more spice in terms of spice. Category: Moderate Ambiance: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Culinary: 4 stars Value for money: 4 stars Revisit factor: 4 stars

Very tasty food and a great restaurant. If you like Lebanese, this is definitely the right place for you.

Best Syrian cuisine I know in the area, clean and very well maintained. The staff is super friendly and warm. Would recommend everyone to try it.

Vegetarians and vegans get their money's worth here 😍 An absolute insider tip. Takeaway food or in the back for a leisurely meal on site.

Super tasty food and great service at a good price. :)

A small but very fine restaurant. Everything tasted excellent and very well seasoned. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside, but surprises inside with a really chic ambience. We had the large grill plate 27, which was very tasty. We liked the lamb best. Normally I don't like lamb at all. It was tender and aromatic. Small constructive criticism: The waitress could be a bit friendlier and more accommodating and you have to bring your time. We waited about 45 minutes - 1 hour for our food. The information that you definitely have to make a reservation should be noted on the website or on Google.

Very inconspicuous piece of jewelry. From the outside it looked a bit like a diner. It is very comfortable in the back. Service was friendly and always on hand. Starters and main courses were very tasty. See you again 👍🏻

Conclusion: Highly recommended. We got to know Byblos for the first time today and will definitely come back more often! The food is fresh and tastes great! What isn't visible from the outside is that in the back there is a very nice, cozy area to stay. Many vegan dishes, but there is something for everyone.

I don't know what to criticize here. You get a super friendly welcome, the food is really excellent and you feel super comfortable. We were here for the first time today & will definitely be back :) Thank you for the great service ❤️

Wooow!!! One of the best restaurants in the whole area 😍 everything is extremely delicious Quality absolutely great 11/10

Very tasty food, friendly service and an extremely pleasant seating area in the back. Many vegetarian and vegan dishes. I can only recommend it.

Went there for the first time today and was very impressed! Absolutely friendly staff, delicious food, fair prices and a cozy atmosphere! Can only warmly recommend Byblos!

We had dinner there yesterday. Great service, super friendly staff, food was super tasty and great value for money. We'll definitely be back. A dream for vegans as there is a huge selection of vegan dishes

We ordered online. It was delicious. Very well seasoned. The grill plate for 2 people is highly recommended.

We love ordering the vegan starter plate, everything tastes really wonderful, unfortunately the portion has become significantly smaller in the last few months and I think the prices have also been increased, which is a shame :(

Very good cuisine. Rich and very tasty. Unfortunately a bit cold. Nice service. It's worth a visit to get to know a different cuisine.

The Byblos special grill plate tasted excellent, I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time! Clear recommendation. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I'll definitely be back.

The food in this restaurant was simply outstanding - I have rarely eaten so well! The portions were generous and as a good eater I was more than full. In addition, the service was extremely friendly and attentive, which rounded off the experience perfectly.

Everything is wonderful. Large and tasty portions.

Small but fine restaurant which from the outside looks more like a snack bar. But when you enter the restaurant you feel like you are in the Orient. It smells of spices. Menu typically Lebanese I can highly recommend the starter variation. Unfortunately, Lebanese beer was sold out, I would have liked to try it. We enjoyed it very much. If we are in Giessen again we will come back. Highly recommended

Best food I have ever ordered from a delivery service. Fresh, delicious food.

We visited the restaurant because of the good reviews and can only fully agree with them. Very very tasty and super friendly. Great :)

Had a business lunch with 8 people from work. Very tasty, very friendly! Everything was great!! The appetizer platter for two people with different types of hummus was particularly amazing! Always happy 😊

Super nice service and delicious food with free dessert in our case :)

We ordered breakfast. It is very tasty and always worth a try. We wish you continued success

Very nice staff and the food… WOW. If I could, I would give even more stars!

I can only agree with the positive comments, the food is really incredibly tasty and fresh. And the service is very, very friendly. Can recommend it 100% with a clear conscience!

Ordered once with my parents. The food there was very tasty. Ordered Pita Feta today and picked it up. Also very tasty. Very nice employees. I can only recommend the store!

Can only report positive things. Food was excellent and service was also top

Very good food, great service. Again and again. Grill plate for 2 people and vegan starter plate highly recommended.

This restaurant can really be recommended without reservation. After a warm welcome, you are led into a very cozy and warm room that gives you a peaceful feeling from the first moment. The very friendly and attentive service immediately provides you with drinks and a menu that leaves nothing to be desired. The selection of vegetarian dishes is particularly impressive. The dishes are excellent, optimally cooked and very well seasoned. When I think of the taste, the word “harmonious” comes to mind repeatedly. The prices are more than reasonable and the portions are perfect. I don't like "rolling out" of a restaurant, which isn't the case here, but you still feel full. A small dessert - a semolina dish with rose water (very interesting) - rounds off the visit as a little treat. We'll be back - definitely.

"My experience at this restaurant was excellent in every way! Compared to some reputable restaurants I have visited here in Germany, I can honestly say that this restaurant can absolutely compete in taste and presentation. The grilling was extremely professional, with perfectly balanced spices and just the right level of doneness. The prices are very reasonable and affordable for everyone. The friendly welcome and excellent service from the team further enriched the experience. I can only warmly recommend a visit to this restaurant Success!"

The Byblos restaurant offers a wonderful journey into the world of the Orient. The menu is varied and authentic. The dishes are lovingly prepared and full of flavors typical of oriental cuisine. The service is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is cozy and stylish. Overall, an excellent place to enjoy oriental cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. All in all, highly recommended!

Very tasty food, we would love to come back!

The best restaurant in Giessen, there's really nothing else to write about

It was okay. A bit small for the price. The rice was mushy. The food was a bit sparingly seasoned. It was very cold in the dining room.

Really not recommended with delivery service. We waited 2 hours for our food. After calling twice, we were assured that the driver would be there soon and that they would be completely overwhelmed. The Lieferando page said 30-55 minutes, which was also known to the staff. I would have expected at least one call to inform us about the delay. It was a shame that we were already dissatisfied before we could even try the food. This was very tasty 😋

Simply great!!! Large and delicious portions!!!

We came here with a large group of 6 adults + 5 children without prior reservation and it was great. Despite no reservation, tables and chairs were moved and everything was done to make us feel comfortable. Thank you very much for the warm support and the great food. Unfortunately we only made it to the main course (we were full) and will definitely be back soon to try the dessert too. Absolute recommendation, not just for those who decide at short notice!

Four of us ate here and were very satisfied. The starters and main courses arrived within a reasonable waiting time, were properly portioned and very tasty. The service was friendly and the ambience was also great. Even if you're a vegetarian or vegan you'll get your money's worth. The price-performance ratio is very fair, keep it up! 🌟

We went in spontaneously with a larger group and were given a very friendly welcome. The food is really very tasty and the portion sizes "roll out" because there was so much. The service is really more than great. When we are in Giessen again, we will definitely come back.

I've been living here in Giessen for two years and was here for the first time today. I can say it is truly the tastiest thing I have ever eaten in Giessen. We ordered the warm and cold platter and there was NOTHING that wasn't tasty. We'll be back next week!!!

I absolutely love this little cute and authentic restaurant. The food tastes authentic and a lot of effort has been put into decorating everything beautifully and elegantly. The service is extremely attentive and always friendly. You notice the great quality of the food from the first bite. The starters are seasoned and prepared exactly as they should be in Arabic/Greek cuisine, no modified “modern” dishes - everything is really authentic. Would go there again at any time. Thanks for the good food, we felt very comfortable and will be back soon 😊

Amazing experience and food! Came here with a friend for lunch - I had the chicken pitta and we shared the hummus beiruti as an appetizer and got a semolina dessert. The meals were served very quickly and were so fresh and authentic. Honestly the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a while! The service was incredibly friendly and the dining room was decorated very tastefully. Highly recommend stopping by if in Gießen :)

We had the chicken pita and lamb pita as well as the hummus- all of the ingredients were fresh and melted in our mouth! The restaurant is exceptionally well decorated and the bathroom (as well as the restaurant) is so clean!!! We also got a complimentary dessert at the end of our meal which was delicious. The owner was so kind and friendly- a top-notch experience overall!

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Absolute recommendation 😍

Super nicely decorated. The food was incredibly delicious! We will come often

Very hospitable owners and nice restaurant. The menu offers extensive meat dishes and numerous vegetarian dishes. Prices are within range. We had a really nice evening with good food. Thank you.

On our way through we decided to have a snack at this restaurant. We didn't regret it. Very tasty food (we had chicken feta schwarma plate), good portions and all at fair prices, served by a nice waitress. An absolute 5* recommendation.

You sit comfortably if you ignore the giant screens on which nature videos are playing in a continuous loop. There are the BEST STARTERS, SALADS, BREAD there is. There were 7 of us, all the main courses were great except for the 3 with chicken which were a bit dry. All the people who work there are very, very friendly. At the end there was a dessert from the house. Thank you very much for the lovely evening.

Went here spontaneously. Incredibly friendly and great delicious food. Very accommodating.

Inconspicuous from the outside and totally beautiful from the inside. The restaurant is nicely decorated. We spontaneously wanted to go out for lunch and decided on Byblos. We ordered the grill plate for 2 people and it was incredibly tasty!! The lamb and chicken were so good! The hummus was also incredible, as was the salad with the bread in it! Were both surprised 🫶 The service was also really great and attentive. Definitely coming back!!

It was really delicious! I hope the store holds up! Go eagerly, it's very worth it. Inconspicuous from the outside, but really nice to sit on the inside😊

We went to the restaurant on Friday evening after making a reservation by phone. There were enough places available, but since the reviews are good I recommend booking in advance. The service was very courteous and we were shown to our seat. It's worth mentioning that the owners were waiting outside on chairs and smoking. Personally it didn't bother me. The drinks arrived quickly and the homemade lemonade was really good and not too sweet! The atmosphere is typically Greek, everything is clean and modern. There is air conditioning, which is really great on summer days. After consultation, a different temperature can also be set. It went well for us because we were alone there. About the food: We took the chicken feta shawarma plate twice and were very happy with this choice. The feta was the best we've tasted to date. The chicken gyro wasn't too dry and the fries were well done - everything was perfect. The only thing that can be criticized is the amount of tzatziki, after two forks it was gone. :) We will definitely come back!

Food tastes good and the employees are very nice :)

We spontaneously went to Byblos on a Sunday afternoon. There is a good vegan selection and the food, in my case a wrap, was super tasty. You can make wraps very boring or something like that in Byblos. Crispy on the outside, with lots of vegetables, delicious hummus and fresh herbs on the inside, including mint. Bravo to the chef. Thanks :)

Comfortably furnished when you have walked through the fast food restaurant. Good food, nice service. We'd love to come back

I've been in Germany for 15 years and have never eaten delicious food like in this restaurant. So I recommend you 100%

Always delicious, but it's worth ordering early enough

Very nice operator/service, very good, delicious food.

Delicious food, warm atmosphere, very nice owners and service

The Byblos is a surprise bag. From the outside it looks like an inconspicuous snack bar, but when you go in you find yourself in a small restaurant that is very attractive and cozy. A plus point for the summer is air conditioning. The food was incredibly tasty and, in our opinion, pretty cheap. Highly Recommended!

Very good food and really pleasant service!

Friendly and competent service and very tasty food. Rich selection of vegetarian dishes!

We ate there twice in total. Once in the restaurant and once ordered and picked up. It tastes great. On site we had a shared starter and each a main course. As a takeaway we had a large cold appetizer platter for 2 people. Everything was fresh and homemade and the pita was freshly grilled when picked up. A clear 10/10! We are very excited!

Very tasty, very nice service, very customer friendly

Food was better but still good Service friendly but slow

I got something for the first time today. Seemed to be very stressful, I didn't receive any fried potatoes or tzatziki with my special grill plate. The fries and the coleslaw were very few, 11 pieces in proportion to the entire portion of food. Humus really doesn't go well with this. Damn small as a dipping portion. For 20 euros I expect a little more.

Extremely delicious!!!!!!! 10 stars!!! Thanks

Nice menu with many exciting dishes, which unfortunately you can't try all at once. Very friendly treatment from our hosts. Very spectacular ambience in blue and gold, not least thanks to the touches of gold on the antique wall reliefs. Thank you, we'll be happy to come back! Tip: Kutle, the dumplings with minced filling. The appetizer of grilled eggplants.

Doner stinks and doesn't taste good. Also, I once ordered shish tavuk and the meat was not cooked well. So not recommended :)

Very tasty vegan food, super lovely employees!

The food was super tasty, very inconspicuous place, at first you might think it was just a snack bar. Price/performance is great, the service was very friendly, but a bit overwhelmed. It was really busy, we were happy and didn't think it was that bad. We'll definitely come back.

There is absolutely NOTHING to complain about. We haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. Everything fresh, beautifully prepared, friendly service. We didn't finish everything and were allowed to take the leftovers with us. We can't give a recommendation as to what was best because everything was absolutely delicious. I'm not a big fan of oriental food but I was really impressed with this one!

Super delicious food, great service and a super nice atmosphere! :))) Highly recommended and definitely always worth a visit.

The food was very tasty, the portions were large and the price was reasonable. The service was top. Will definitely come back

Wanted to eat here to break the fast during Ramadan. Reserved a table, got a card and then - like the couple at the next table - was ignored for 20 minutes. Then left without the employees even noticing.

Excellent cuisine, Very nice atmosphere, Super friendly service And the portions were so good, That the rest we took with us still tasted fantastic the next day 🙏👍

An insider tip near the train station. Very tasty food, homemade lemonade, nice atmosphere, fast and attentive service.

Very tasty food, friendly service, great prices - what more could you want?

Food was well recommended, service could be better, they are more busy with themselves (staff), they check on customers more often.

Best fried potatoes I've ever eaten! Otherwise the rest is great too

Sensational cuisine. Great dishes, exceptional spices. A delight for the eyes and the palate. Everything was super fresh. We ordered number 56 twice. We weren't here for the last time.

Very good food - we enjoyed it as a family. The service was very friendly and the price-performance ratio is absolutely reasonable.

We ate there for the first time today based on a recommendation, I have to say it certainly wouldn't be the last time...It was super tasty, very friendly service and a welcome from the boss.. Keep it up…see you soon 👌👌👍👍
