Byblos Description:
The original Byblos location on Metairie Road has long been a beloved outpost for Middle Eastern favorites such as falafel, fattoush salad and chicken shwarma, and this Uptown branch delivers the same food in a hip, urban atmosphere. Local students and businesspeople alike gather along the black-surfaced bar for martinis, espresso and beer, while a few tables outside join the hottest strip of al fresco dining in the city. The drunken halloumi---warm ouzo-soaked cheese---is an exciting appetizer, and we've never been disappointed by the interesting interpretation of Caesar salad. Among the various lamb preparations is a terrific plate of barbecue baby-back lamb ribs, smoked in-house. Belly dancers on Thursday nights add another dimension of excitement and attract a regular crowd of admirers.
