Byblos serves authentic and delicious Lebanese food. Came here with friend last Friday 9th August for celebrations.<br/ <br/ LOCATION<br/ Byblos is located on the beautiful waterfront of Docklands Yarra River. If you're not familiar with the area, you can walk through the World Trade Centre and follow the signs to exit through to the waterfront. Otherwise you can easily walk through via Spencer Street/Clarendon Street bridge pedestrian walkway from Crown Plaza.<br/ <br/ SERVICE<br/ Excellent customer service, cannot fault. From when we entered into the restaurant, and duration of our meal to when we were about to leave, everyone was friendly and courteous.<br/ <br/ MENU/PRICE<br/ My friend has been to Byblos numerous times and I followed on her suggestions on what to order but I did select the Rekakat and Samak Harra as I wanted to try them! <br/ <br/ We ordered the following: <br/ Trio of Dips, $16.00<br/ (Includes Hommus,Baba Ghanouj, and Labneh)<br/ <br/ Rekakat, $4.70 each<br/ (Lightly fried filo pastries with feta and mozzarella cheese and traditional spices. Served with yoghurt)<br/ <br/ Fattoush Salad, $14.50<br/ (Mixed leaves salad dressed in a light vinaigrette with radish. tomato, cucumber, thyme and crispy Lebanese bread)<br/ <br/ Koosa (3 piece per serve), $19.90<br/ (Baked zhuccini, stuffed with grilled lamb and spiced rice, served with a rich tomato sugo)<br/ <br/ Samak Harra, $17.50<br/ (Grilled fresh dory fillet with roasted red pepper ratatouille, dressed with mixed nuts and served with sliced lemon)<br/ <br/ From the Grills section: <br/ Shish Tawook, $6.00<br/ (Chicken tenderloins with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and mild chilli paste)<br/ <br/ Skewered Prawns, $7.00<br/ (Jumbo prawns marinated in olive oil, lime and garlic) <br/ <br/ VERDICT<br/ <br/ I was on the borderline of giving it a 4.5 rating given that we only had 1.5 hours seating and rushed out at 8.00pm. Its difficult to really properly enjoy dinner when you dont have alot of time. I wasn't made aware prior when I rang up for a 6.30pm booking. As their online booking didnt have that option, only 6pm.<br/ <br/ Regardless we enjoyed our meal, and service was very good as well.<br/ <br/ I especially enjoyed the Rekakat. The pastry was very light,airy and freshly baked. The filling was very tasty and delicious. <br/ <br/ The grilled prawns was full of flavour and tasted so well with the homemade yoghurt. I cannot get enough of the yoghurt, is delicious.<br/ <br/ <br/ Everything we ordered was very tasty and full of flavour! Next time we wont order the trio of dips as we had too much food, only 1 dip would be more than sufficient.<br/ <br/ The grilled dory was so fresh and tender it just melted in my mouth, the red pepper ratatouille balanced well with the fish.<br/ <br/ My friend really liked the baked stuffed zuchini. I dont mind it but it is way too filling as the serving is really generous with 3 peices in 1 serve). I think if there was option to order the Koosa for 1 peice as entree size it would be much better.<br/ <br/ Overall we had a fantastic night at Byblos. No doubt I will be back.
