History
Byblos was founded in 1994 by Tarek Tay, Gaby Saliba and Hicham Khodr of 3 of a Kind Restaurant Group, opening the team's first location on Metairie Road. In the 25 years since, the company has expanded to include locations on Metairie Road and in the Lakeside Shopping Center Food Court. 3 of a Kind also established Byblos Market, a unique spin on the Mediterranean grill that includes a marketplace with authentic items and ingredients to make Mediterranean classics at home. Byblos offers a large selection of specialty lamb dishes, shawarma platters and wraps, kabobs, seafood dishes and vegetarian options. Many dishes on our menu are reflective of the Mediterranean Diet, which was recently named the #1 designation for Best Overall Diet of 2019 as reported by US News and World Report. The diet includes an emphasis on simple, plant-based cooking, with the majority of each meal focused on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and seeds, plus nuts and a heavy emphasis on extra virgin
