Byblos Mediterranean Halal Arabi

Lovely store with well spaced ailes for easy shopping. Kind staff, gorgeous fresh produce, and interesting new to me Camel milk!

How is this place not famous? It’s because it looks boarded up from the outside.

Inside you’ll find a butchery who’ll cut your meat the way you want. They know meat. I was waiting for my turn and heard the guy in front of me ask for his meat to be ground for kebabs. He fetched his parsley onions from the produce and they mixed their spices and made a custom kebab mix for him. What magic is this?!?!

Did not know that there so many different varieties of zataar existed and so much better priced than the overpriced lil jar you’ll get at Whole Foods!

Canned food that I’d never heard off and couldn’t wait to try. You can only imagine when I served stuffed eggplant to my friends for a party. They were impressed - and I did not want to tell them how easy it was to open the can :D

Every Arab food, Indian food you can think of you’ll find it here. Spices. Pastas. Lentils. Pickled veggies and fruits. Pomegranate molasses. Saffron water. Garlic water. Produce like figs, dates, different kinds of eggplants. Fresh flatbreads. Candies from faroff places that you’ve never heard of.

It’s a little confusing, had to roam the aisles to figure out where the bulgur and lentils were.

Only thing I’m not crazy about is the frozen section. Just too crowded and the boxes bent out of shape don’t give me a lot of confidence in their freshness.

Friendly and helpful staff! Wide variety of items for the Mediterranean and middle eastern cuisine.
They have a butcher shop inside that provides fresh halal (zabiha) beef, lamb goat and chicken.
