We ordered hakka noodles for take out. We asked them to make it spicy not just salty. When we tried them at home there was so much salt in them. I called them and they said thats spicy we tasted it…. I think they do not know the difference between spicy and just salty food. I asked for refund and they said THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. I do not understand why refund is not possible, if someone does not like your food you should give them money back. And the girl said you can try them with ketchup!!!!!! We had to throw the whole food, didn’t want to go back to exchange it because we didn’t like it at first place. I tried to like this place but their management sucks. They should own their mistakes instead of ignoring them. They just ask to put the reviews for food which is for take out… without even tasting the food!! And not recognising the complaints. NEVER SUGGESTING ANYONE GOING THERE.

I recently went to byblos and I’ve to say, the waiting time was over 30 mins although the restaurant barely had anybody (2 tables including us). We’ve ordered the achari chicken and chicken biryani- if I could give 0 star, I genuinely would. The achari chicken did not taste good, I could not taste the achar or any good flavor. The chicken biryani, was as if someone has mixed gravy to the rice and served it. All I could taste was chili powder with no flavor. Overall, the food lacked flavor. Honestly so so disappointed. Never coming back here or suggesting anybody to come here! One more thing, the restaurant had a very unpleasant smell of curry through out the whole restaurant.

Worst experience ever!! We ordered 2 veg noodles burgers and side order of fries but this is what we got. Burger had barely some noodles and two pieces of cucumber in it for $10 ? We called them and they mentioned this is how their management asked them to make. Like seriously bro?! Fries were so dry and very hard to eat looks like they were 2-3 days old. They knew about the fries already i heard you bro over the phone but still they send those. Never going back there. Good luck to them who are still ordering from byblos.

Of course! Here’s a more concise version: I had an amazing dining experience at Byblos. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chef and kitchen team put real care into each dish.

Wanted to love this place. Gave it several second chances. But this is what a $20 lamb curry gets you. Some sauce and 3 cubes of lamb.

The food here is amazing! We ordered the vegetarian dinner for two, and the portion was the perfect size. The food came out so quickly and the service was great, even though the place was quite busy. I will definitely be back! The only problem was the music—they were playing early 2000s rock/emo/screamo the whole time and it was hurting our ears 💀 UPDATE: Came back this past weekend and everything was perfect, including the music 😊 The cocktails are great too!

December 20, 2024

I have tried them twice and got disappointed both times..just orderd a plate of manchurian and they literally packed just 5 balls of manchurian with alot of oily gravy ..in $14 you just get 5 balls of manchria

No taste. I wont order again

December 7, 2024

If I could give negative I would. I used to love this place. However when I ordered through Uber and a glitch in the app caused my order to be canceled I called Uber to help, they told me to contact Byblos. When I did they said that they wouldnt reorder the order unless I paid for it all again. Its ridiculous that it showed on their screen, they took the money and wouldnt replace the order! Way to let go of what used to be a nice customer service!

BEWARE: this is *not* a Lebanese restaurant. Its just run-of-the-mill Indian. We bought the Malai Kofta, Palak Paneer, Haryali (?) Tandoor chicken, two naan, and rice to-go (~$70). Staff was friendly and the food was delicious (great sauces!), although all that food only satisfied two people. I was very disappointed that Lebanese food was non-existent on the menu; I was excited for the fusion of the two cultures, so I felt tricked when their menu had no mention of anything Lebanese. To the owners: can you make your naan spicier? Both the garlic and chili garlic naan were kinda plain. Overall, decent restaurant.

Visited third time but got disappointed this time. We odered papadi chaat and after 2 mins we thought that wont be enough so we wanted to cancel. The lady said okay but she went inside nd screamed to cancel the order and then we could clearly hear from the last table the lady pissing off and screaming from the kitchen i believe everyone in dining area could hear that and it was embarrassing. I understand the work load but being respectful to customers is also important.

Papad is disappointing,it was just chickpea flour, Lods of salt and traces of cumin. All blended in water and cooked on a hot plate on low heat... We expected something like a large fish cracker... Because that is what papad means...

Really bad experience Didn t get proper count of naan we ordered for our get together last night we ordered 6 naan but got only 12 pieces. We picked up around 10 pm which is their closing time so we couldn t even call them back. When we called them today they mentioned they will take care from next time. People come to you to get their food but when we don t get what we asked for and it got us embarrassed in front of our friends. Me and my friends never going back there.

My grandmother and I went in hoping for Lebanese food. From what Im reading, it seems they only serve Indian food now, but it was delicious and most importantly (to me) our server Jesse and the other staff were extremely sweet to my Nan and helped her choose a dish that she enjoyed a lot. The service was fantastic in general - the staff were extremely attentive to all of the diners there.

I have ordered 1 full aloo tiki chat. And this is what i am getting. Service is getting worst day by day. I think i should stop going here. You have lost a regular customer byblos.

To be very honest, the food was not so good .I ordered Amritsari kulacha that turned out soggy prantha. I somehow ate that after telling to receptionist and cook. Then I ordered Manchurian which was little burned. Before they used to make good and tasty food but now No taste in their food!!!!!

We ordered food through uber eats , worse paneer makhni with just 4 cubes of paneer and when we called they said we only serve this much, almost everytime we order food online through them, quantity and quality is super bad, they dont realise how much costly pricey their food items are and serve atleast as per the price, never ever going to order food again from byblos. Owners should understand u guys are charging money for food atleast if its pricey give us something , 2 garlic roti, samosa chat and curry costed $50 on uber eats including delivery fee

Ofcourse during our previous visit we ordered vegetarian manchurian and we found it bit pricy like for $15 we get 5 manchurian balls. They can definitely work on better recipe for manchurian as it tasted more like tomatoe ketchup. Other than this great customer service, owner is very kind, polite and jolly :)

My partner and I had the most exquisite Indian dinner at Byblos a few weeks ago. I was not expecting such an extensive and high quality Indian menu at a spot that also offers Lebanese cuisine. To begin, we ordered an Aloo Tikki Chaat, and it was delectable. The cool yogurt, tamarind chutney, and warm, crispy potato patties made this the perfect meal starter. My partner ordered a perfectly spicy (his words) Lamb Vindaloo and loved it, while I ordered the chefs special, Methi Malai Chicken. I usually go for a Chicken Tikka Masala, but I was feeling adventurous. And Im so glad I was! I have never tasted anything so satisfying, rich (but not too rich), and flavourful. I will definitely be ordering this dish again - but perhaps there are too many other delicious competing items on the menu that I should try first. I was truly blown away. I cant say Ive had the experience of being blown away by many restaurants lately! My partners dish was spicy enough that we ordered a lovely smooth mango lassi drink to quench the heat. And of course, we had garlic naan (crazy delicious) and Lacha Parantha (new to me) on the side to dip in the saucy, rich dishes. Portions were great. We didnt leave hungry. And cost-wise, it was on par with any other nice night out at a good restaurant... except that this one was exceptional. Highly recommend. Go enjoy yourself here. Well be back! And maybe with room for dessert this time. Who am I kidding... I wont be able to help myself when I smell that Methi Malai Chicken again.

My favorite Indian food place in the HRM. I love their Palak Paneer, Lamb Korma, Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, & Garlic Naan. They also have a bubble tea counter in the restaurant which has many great options (Taro milk tea was very good). I will definitely be going back again in the near future!

My recent dining experience at Byblos was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I stepped in, the warm ambiance enveloped me, setting the stage for an unforgettable Valentine s Day. The menu boasted an impressive array of authentic Indian dishes. However, what truly set this establishment apart was their impeccable service. The staff was not only attentive and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. From the moment we were seated to the final farewell, every interaction was marked by professionalism and genuine hospitality. Overall, I cannot recommend this Indian restaurant highly enough. Whether youre a seasoned enthusiast of Indian cuisine or simply looking to embark on a culinary adventure, this place promises an exquisite dining experience that will leave your taste buds singing with joy. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for a truly memorable evening. Well definitely be back soon!

Had a carry out on Monday eve. Staff were very friendly when I arrived to pick up the food, and they were decorating for Valentines Day and the place looked cosy and clean inside. The smell from the kitchen was a sign of good things to come. Had the chicken saag and the chicken kadai and both were fantastic. Lovely level of spice and flavours. Some of the best Indian food Ive had since arriving in Halifax from the UK. Will be back to eat in rather than take away! Thanks guys

Stopped in for supper, and it was fantastic. I had the chicken vindaloo, our service warned me that it was a 10 out of 10 on the spicy scale. I heard that before, and I like the heat....sweet baby Jesus...it made my teeth sweat. Couldnt finish it, had to spread it it over two days...2 thumbs up... Our 2nd dish was chiken also and perfectly spiced...great portions. The Naan was also very good and completed the meal. Highly recommend this place...

Although the Lebanese cuisine isnt actually available but the Indian options in the menu are worth trying. Thier chole bhature will take you back to the delhi vali vibes. The katori chaat, papdi chaat and pani puri are also go to options. The only thing we did not like whlas that they charged us $7 for extra onions and $7 for extra chole. Definitely coming back for the chana bhatura.

Great service, great taste, the staffs each and everyone are so lovely. The price is also reasonable. There s another Indian restaurant where we expected great food. But I was disappointed. And Byblos is far better than that. The garlic naan is our personal favourite. It s soft and easy for the kids to eat. Once they served masala chai as a welcome drink, and the first sip felt like I was in India at my mother s place. That s how the chai impacted me. Thank you for the compliment chai. Will always visit here with family.

What can I say about Byblos? For me hands down the best Chicken Vindaloo in the city. Now if I could get the consistency of the heat I like based on who serves me it would be perfect. We have tried many other dishes there and have not been disappointed with anything and there is definitely more to try. The Garlic Naan is another crowd pleaser. Even if you arent brave enough to try the Indian food the Garlic Naan is suitable for pretty much anyone. Also a favorite of mine compared to other places Ive tried in HRM. The only reason I didnt give the atmosphere a five star is because other then the music and the screen playing the videos there is nothing that shares the culture of India, and I would love to see that. Also Id love to see all the Lebanese mentions removed as they no longer serve that type of food and I worry it takes away from what they are truly great at and thats Indian food. The staff are fantastic, are always attentive and help to make the overall experience great. Looking forward to my next visit there. Parking: Never have an issue finding a spot as the lot is a good size.

Authentic prison experience, even down to the metal tray you get served! The food is sub par. they do not have Lebanese food only indian food unlike what they advertise, website and menu is not updated in that regard. Expensive for the portions, had to pay extra for rice for the curry chicken meal as it doesnt come with it. The onion salad was literally just raw onion cut into slices, nothing else. Overpriced for what you get. The tables are in bad shape. Best part of the experience was leaving.

Had been ordering take out for a while, always loved the Indian food but the butter chicken was always short on chicken and for the price we almost stopped eating there. One day we decided to go eat in and the service was friendly, helpful and checked in to make sure we enjoyed the food. Definitely more chicken when you eat in. Only down fall was they seem to be lacking in the ventilation area as we stunk so bad after leaving and they seem to have half renovated the area and it looks junky and not professional.

A Solid Choice for Indian Dining This restaurant offers reliable Indian cuisine. Their dishes and naans are great, and the service is excellent. On one occasion, there was a slight delay in getting our food, but they pleasantly surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was a nice touch. In the realm of dining options, this restaurant stands as a dependable choice. If youre in the mood for satisfying Indian food without the fuss, this is the place.

December 21, 2023

18 Oct 2023 I dont normally write reviews, but since the waitress reminded us 3 times during our visit to post a review, I felt I should say something. Be careful what you wish for... Strike one; Upon reading the menu, I realized there was no Lebanese cuisine offered. I checked with the waitress who confirmed this. You would think a restaurant that is called Byblos Indian & Lebanese Cuisine, both on their website and the sign above the restaurant, that they would offer some Lebanese cuisine. No, not here! In fact, they even have an online menu that is specifically Lebanese cuisine. Maybe its time to update your website and storefront. Strike two; After a rather lengthy wait they came to take our orders. After that, they brought a bottle of water and glasses served on a table covered in the waxed paper that butchers use to wrap meat. Real classy! A short time after this they brought us our canned soft drinks we had ordered, but I guess we were expected to drink from the cans or use our water glasses once we finished our water. Strike three; I watched my friends and my wife eat their meals, and finish their meals, before my meal was even delivered to the table. A slight delay would have been acceptable had I been ordering something unique, or specially prepared. However, I was ordering the daily special, I would assume that would have been prepared in advance, but I dont own a restaurant, so cant say for sure. I will say for sure that the vast majority restaurants try to bring everybodys meals at approximately the same time. We arrived at 5 pm and I wasnt served my meal until 6:15 pm. This was truly disappointing. I dont see myself returning to this restaurant. Indian food is my favorite choice for dining out, but there are plenty of other choices for Indian restaurants in the city, and I could list a few that I have enjoyed far more that this experience. Ill end on a positive note though. The waitress was very friendly the food was good, albeit, waiting far too long to get my meal, and prices were reasonable.

She said extra charge for sweet chatni cmon bro! Also mentioed it always be sour as we never tasted a tikki before.

We came here for dinner - no reservation needed! It almost feels like a hidden gem. Our server was very kind and the food was absolutely incredible. The flavours were nuanced and very well balanced. The prices are also super affordable, and the food portions are big enough to share. We went in late November, so we were a little cold from being outside - and while the restaurant itself could have been a little warmer, the food warmed us up right away. Will be returning! Vegetarian options: There are so many options for vegetarians and vegans alike - they are clearly laid out on the menu. Dietary restrictions: Indian food and cuisine is typically safe for people with dietary restrictions (celiac, lactose intolerant, specialty diets).

Delicious food but the portions of chicken were very small. There were six bite sized pieces of chicken in the curry. The rice, sauce and chicken were all top quality. I just would have liked a few more pieces of protein to make me feel like I had eaten a meal instead of a relish. I d pay a little more - maybe they need a small and large size?

so Ill be honest - I wasnt in the mood for Indian that night, drawn across the street by the beautifully-deceptive corner office and facade of the all you can eat japanese sushi restaurant which ranged in price from $48 to $65 depending on how well I understood the little girl telling me about the digital menu, with arbitrary prices and other negotiated reasonings at each others stale misunderstandings. Thank you, yes I can tell that isnt red salmon. anyway - tucked between the sushi and Coras was Byblos. I was fairly uncertain if Id be able to spend enough money to sit down within their beautiful decor having situated myself to a $30 meal and so I talked with the manager for five minutes or so, zoning in on masalas and vindaloos (usually too spicy for me) and inquiring on the cooking styles of the paneer. I eventually decided to stay, giving full control of my culinary experience to her and the chef with only a few caveats: naan, paneer, jasmine rice. As soon as the dish was brought I could sense and smell the quality, the curry was so rich with flavour and unique in a way that forced me (despite my aversion towards prying too significantly into recipes) to inquire on the base, with a quick mutual acknowledgement that I could rest assured the out of this world taste was at least obeying the known laws of our universe and not some kind of magic-unknown. Then the naan bread was brought, glistening in flavour only slightly less than the magical curry (I promise to rarely use this term) and so I was forced to relingquish any misgivings I had at the outset and follow the rest of her instructions almost too literally - no no no, the naan does not go in the same container as the rice. the masala tea was a signature specialty I was told and was matched in uniqueness and unfamiliarity only by the familiar deliciousness of ginger bread cookies and capuccinos, following an outdoor excursion in a winter wonderland or suitable nature experience.

December 21, 2023

Been here many times over the years. Figured I d write a review. Indian food is phenomenal quality, especially the butter chicken. I have had better in other provinces but this takes the cake for Nova Scotia. Naan is some of the best I ve ever had though. Only complaint is they have reduced the portion sizing and increased the price over the last couple years. Used to be around $50 for 2 with almost double the portion than what they serve now for $60-$70. I know there s inflation but the portion size has gotten ridiculously small. Also funny side note they still advertise Lebanese but don t serve it anymore, I can see how this annoys people! I don t eat Lebanese, lol.
