EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. the overall aesthetic was very chill and beautiful and the food was good. i don’t recommend getting the cauliflower or the lamb racks. the octopus was also great and the black truffle out of the stuff i shared with others. the dessert was phenomenal. it was the halva and everything about it was just keeping me to want more. the waitress daniella was also so polite and had such great conversation as well. this experience was amazing and i will definitely come back.

Coming from the Chicago area, great food is almost everywhere. Nearly every restaurant I've been to in Florida has just been OK. Even the "nice" restaurants. That is, until I went to Byblos. This was my first time in a Turkish restaurant. Great cocktails (especially an old fashioned) are normally a good sign. Some of the food was new to me, but the service is excellent. Everything was explained, and they accommodated my wife's dietary restrictions pretty well. Our water was consistently topped off. Our server checked up on us regularly. Most importantly, the food was astoundingly good. We had eggplant, fried artichokes, rice, and a rack of lamb. Chocolate mousse and doughnuts with ice cream were for dessert. If you are going to be in the Miami area, be sure to go here. Couple notes: dress nice and make a reservation.

We stayed in Miami for 5 days and this was the best place we had dinner at the entire time we were here. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff was great. The food was delicious all around. Everything we ordered was flavorful and fresh. The Turkish dumplings are a must get. I don’t like eggplant personally and yet it was my favorite dish. Highly recommended and will go back the next time we are in Miami Beach

Really loved everything about this spot especially the inspiration from the Persian Empire. All of the cocktail combinations were unique yet great. Highly recommend the short rib kebab and the hummus dish. For the dessert we loved the halva parfait. It was definitely one of the best desserts I have had.

The vibe and atmosphere is great! One of our tables shared food and the other table bought individual meals. They gave us free shots for my birthday (or for spending so much money) lol. Our server didn’t know how to split a check.

I had the pleasure of dining at Byblos Miami recently. One of the highlights of my meal was the lamb rack. It was cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. The culinary expertise was evident in the way the dish was prepared and presented. The combination of spices and cooking technique truly made this dish stand out. Additionally, the cauliflower and hummus were delightful appetizers that left a lasting impression. The cauliflower was expertly roasted, offering a satisfying crunch and flavor. The hummus was creamy and well-balanced in terms of taste, making it a great companion to the pita bread. Moving on to the main course, the truffle rice and steak were definite winners. The truffle rice was fragrant and had just the right amount of truffle essence, elevating the dish to a delightful level. The steak was cooked to my preferred doneness and was accompanied by flavors that complemented the meat perfectly. However, I must admit that the dessert was a bit of a letdown. I had high expectations for the baklava with chocolate, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the standard set by the preceding courses. The combination of baklava and chocolate felt a bit mismatched, and the execution didn't quite hit the mark. Despite the dessert not meeting expectations, the overall dining experience at Byblos Miami was impressive. The restaurant's focus on creating unique and flavorful dishes is evident in the quality of the food. The lamb rack, cauliflower, hummus, truffle rice, and steak were all highlights that I thoroughly enjoyed. The culinary journey is certainly worth exploring, and I would recommend indulging in the savory options that the restaurant has to offer. With a few minor adjustments to the dessert menu, Byblos Miami could easily become a culinary gem in the city.

What a great night! We set outside , the weather, which was perfect .the place was very clean and well organized. The service was absolutely perfect! The server was very nice, He guided us and recommended exactly what we should get. The food was great! Everything we've tried was good! Just look at the pictures i added . The best part for me was the dessert(Hazelnut chocolate mousse) but overall we had an amazing time and I will definitely come back again next time I'm in Miami.

Amazing restaurant! Everything is so tasty. It’s the place where you want to come and enjoy your time and food. And take the dessert! It’s so light and so good!!! Very recommend!

Byblos has potential but I don't think it lived up to its hype. The food was okay the flatbread and hummus was great but when it came to rice, kabob, and brussel sprouts I wasn't feeling it. The restaurant was too dark to see what you were eating & way too hot to enjoy your dinner.

The atmosphere and ambiance was very nice. The appetizers were my favorite part of the meal, especially the crispy artichokes. Ordered crispy artichoke, Turkish dumplings, roasted duck, and truffle flatbread. They were all excellent

I loved the atmosphere very chilled vibes, music is on point. Reservation don’t at 9:30 when we walked in manager made us feel that we are rushed and have to order ASAP cause kitchen closes at 9:45 :-/. But then he came and explained to us that it’s fine to take our time. Some dishes were great and one dish like the shrimp bowl was really bad.

From the entrance on the red carpet to us getting our table. It was smooth and well coordinated. Our server came and introduced himself, he was friendly and professional . The decor was one of the reasons I chose the restaurant it was cozy but chic at the same time and ambiance and music were fitting. Every course of the Miami spice menu were executed well. The flavors were balanced and the Mediterranean stood out. I really liked the server , don’t remember the name but he said call him “the Turkish guy” food was great, and so was everything else! Definitely will be back!!

I would give 5 stars for the food, it’s so delicious and definitely worth the trip, but I would give a 3 stars for the service. There is 20% gratuity included in the bill. The outdoor seating area is beautiful. I’ve been to the sister restaurant in Toronto many times and the food is just as good here. My favourite dish is the Turkish manti dumplings … and don’t skip on the halvah dessert.

Fun and delicious tasting menu. Let your waiter guide you on how big of a tasting menu you should order. We were stuffed when we left there.

The prix fixe menu is where it’s at! Be warned though that it’s A LOT of food. We did the 4 course option as a midway between the two options but for the three dining in my party it was still an abundance of food. Each course has multiple dishes. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. If you come with a healthy appetite, definitely put your trust in the prix fixe. Service was attentive. The vibe is as you’d expect for this price point and aesthetic - unreasonably loud music, fire shows, belly dancers, etc.

Came to try their Miami spice and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and service. Loved the ambiance especially since we came with our little one. Would definitely come back to try other items from their full menu!

We came for dinner on August 29th. I love this place, the food is amazing and this restaurant is beautiful. Great ambiance, delicious flavors but unfortunately our server was not pleasant and really unprofessional.

This was an awesome experience at Byblos, the service team was awesome. Meeting Gabriella while touching our table and charming Bageio was great. The food selection and their Miami Spice menu beats many restaurants. I have been here many times and they never disappoint. Congrats to the management team.

This was a transcendent culinary experience. We ordered the Persian kale rice, the Short Rib Kebab, and the Turkish kale salad. All 3 dishes were a symphony of flavors that I've never tasted before. They complemented each other with savory seasoning, sweet additions and umami flavors equally. This is one restaurant where I can say unequivocally that the price is worth admission. The service was also stellar.

We had such a great experience dining in here! Food is delicious, service - great! Place is very cozy in heart of South Beach. Mediterranean vibe. Music was just magical - Live performance from Turkish artist DJ. Definitely wanna come back here!

I was kind of sleepy when I decided to write this review so I wanted to keep it short this time. Excellent service and delicious food can definitely be found here but also the vibe or ambiance is very inviting and appealing. We enjoyed our food for the most part except a few dishes that were ok and those are the only ones I will mention since everything else was amazing. Surprisingly enough the hummus is not good at all, it had a chemical after taste and my wife almost spit it out of he mouth while I just washed it down with water. The broccoli side dish was also not good at all but the waitress felt bad and brought a second spinach pide which is one of their best appetizers. The fried chicken, the cream spinach pide, the short rib kebab, lamb ribs, the gem salad and the cheesecake qatayef dessert are some of the best items on the menu, in my opinion.

Tldr: Excellent Mediterranean cuisine in a lovely setting. One of my favorite restaurants in Miami Beach. Came here for dinner on a February Friday. The weather was perfect so we ate in the outside courtyard. We ordered a lot of food because so much of the menu looked so good. All of the appetizers we tried were delicious and interesting, but the highlight of the meal for me was the lamb shoulder for two. It's amazingly soft and flavorful, and completely without a hint of the unpleasant taste that sometimes shows up in lamb dishes. Also, the small dishes that come with it added pleasing diversity to the flavors of the meat. Both of the desserts we tried were excellent as well. The hazelnut chocolate mousse comes highly recommended, but I found the halva parfait to be even more amazing. The service was excellent, friendly, and efficient. I look forward to returning soon!

Absolutely amazing! Live DJ, Belly Dancer. Beautiful setting, amazing food and service. Our server Andres was absolutely perfect! We will be back!

We came here for a lovely dinner. The place is beautiful and the service was absolutely fantastic. All the food that we saw come out look delicious and our food did not disappoint. It was a great night and a great place to spend it. If I'm ever in the area again I would stop in.

Since the beginning you will be able to feel comfortable and welcome, not just because of the environment but as well as for the staff. They were very friendly and cordial. We told them that we don't eat meet nor eggs but we would like to have the course meal with wine and they've arranged everything with no stress. The food was excellent and the service amazing. It's for sure a stop for you all when in Miami.

One of my absolute favorite restaurants. Great cocktails, fluffy pita. Every dish we had was great. Good spot for a large group, either inside or outdoors. Dying to go back.

As ALWAYS this place delivers. I did schedule a reservation and had to stand and wait for 30 minutes which was slightly annoying. Once finally sat we met our waiter and he seemed not as friendly as I would hope. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 mains and 2 sides and an espresso with a dessert. The meal was phenomenal as it was in the past. Look forward to coming back again

5 stars all around. Fantastic service, atmosphere, food, wine & cocktail options. We did the 4 course tasting menu with wine pairings & were so glad we did. This allowed us to try things we wouldn’t have typically ordered & everything was GREAT. Neza was our server & she was amazing (very informative, friendly & checked in often). We have dined out 4 nights on our trip & this was hands down the best service we have experienced. Definitely put Byblos on your list!

By far the best dining experience we've ever had in our lives. Recommendations were on point and the food was outstanding and beyond words. Neza was our waitress and she was amazing. Pictures don't even do justice.
