Byblos Greenwood Village — Restaurant in Greenwood Village

Absolutely horrendous experience here tonight. We were a group of 7, we got there at 8 pm. We sat outside and ordered quickly. We had no idea the kitchen closed at 8:30 pm because the server didn’t tell us. We all ordered gyro meat sandwiches. The server walked over to the window about 15 separate times as food started coming out because everything was messed up. The gyros didn’t have any tomatoes or onions in them, the one that wasn’t supposed to have tzatziki, did. It all was wrong. Our orders came out sporadically over the course of 30 minutes. Once 6 of the 7 gyros finally came, THEN the server first told me that they were completely out of gyro meat suddenly and if I wanted the chicken schwarma I could have that instead (she didn’t mention compensating anything, didn’t even apologize). I was like uhhh well duh I want food so I guess I’ll have the chicken ?? At this point every other person in my group was already done eating. It was almost 9 pm. Then she goes on and blames us for coming so late and that “usually they only do take out orders after 8 pm” but she never told us this, we would have totally gotten take out! It was insane. The woman had no remorse, she was so rude and had a nasty attitude and acting like it was our fault they ran out of food and got literally every single thing in our order wrong. And then she STILL did not compensate anything, she said she’d give me free baklava (which you already get when you pay cash) and I was like no that’s ridiculous and then instead of just taking off my sandwich or taking off a few dollars, she just gave me a coupon for a BUY 1 GET 1 FREE for next time. Like are you serious? There will NEVER be a next time. Horrible horrible horrible. I will never...

Don't waste your time here. What a joke. I go in and no one inside around 130. One employee comes out. Hardly any interaction. Why bother. I get handed a menu. I'm looking it over. No communication from them about anything, like oh we don't have this or today's special is this. Like I get it's a minimum wage job but I don't have to be a customer here. I'll take my money elsewhere. I felt insulted. I asked for one item on the menu, literally the same menu as on every table. I get told they don't have it at this location? What does that mean? Why even print a menu that has items you don't sell? What a waste of my time and a joke of a business. The fact also that I didn't get explained what else is on the menu they don't offer or given an alternative menu option or anything. Like why even work here. Cashier anywhere else. What a joke. I was excited to try different menu items and come back, from the kafta kabob to the meat moussaka. So much sounded good. I'm never visiting this location or any others of this place. Just a giant joke.

Edit: what an insane "family business" as they call themselves. Whatever that means vs a normal business that actually is run by any professional people. I got repeatedly disrespected and talked down to, for just trying to inquire why I was unable to order a menu item. I still don't have a response or understand why. They don't care about anything or their customers. They don't even respond in any sort of business manner. Just whatever "family business" means. I guess it means nepotism and just hiring whoever and not caring. Run away...

"Oh. My. Gyro! 🤯

I just left this Greek restaurant and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the culinary acrobatics I just witnessed. The food was like a Greek god in my mouth - it was Zeus-approved, for sure! 🔥

First of all, the hummus was creamy and had just the right amount of garlic to make me want to shout "OPA!" and do a little plate-smashing dance. And don't even get me started on the spanakopita - it was like a flaky, spinach-filled cloud took a detour from Mount Olympus and landed on my plate. 🌫️

But the real showstopper was the lamb souvlaki. I mean, I've had lamb before, but this was like lamb on steroids - it was so tender and juicy, I almost cried (happy tears, of course). And the tzatziki sauce? Forget about it - it was like a refreshing rain shower on a hot Mediterranean day. ☀️

The service was also top-notch - our server was friendly and attentive, and even gave us a complimentary shot of ouzo to finish off the meal (which, let's be real, is the best way to finish off any meal). 🥳

Overall, this Greek restaurant is a must-visit - it's like a culinary vacation to the Acropolis, without the annoying tourists and overpriced souvenir shops....
