great family owned restaurant/ bar. get the salmon it’s phenomenal. diaa is the sweetest and makes the best drinks. ask for diaa, the salmon, and your favorite hookah you won’t regret it.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Aaron Lewis · Dec 2025

Atmosphere was very sketchy. The security staff was extremely weird and I felt like I was being swarmed. There was a woman planted at the bar who kept sneakily recording my party. I didn’t feel safe at all. I urged my party to leave.

One of the best staff taking care of their customers in the best possible way. Hookahs are strongly flavored but smooth. Loved the interiors so apt for a hookah place. Good collection of wine and beers. Even the cocktails were really at par with any good bar! Loved the overall first visit experience.

One of the very first spots in Philadelphia to have hookah and their still leading the way with their plentiful of exotic flavors! I had my favorite blue mist and mint on a grapefruit head I love the fruit top head rather then just the flavored shisha on coal mainly because it adds so much more flavor and definitely gives you a buzz! I had for the first time however their Greek salad with grilled chicken kabob which was BOMB!! You must try it filled with so much flavor fresh onions, olive, green peppers, tomatoes, and feta cheese.. my date has a grilled Cesar salad which was also good I got to try his out! We opted out on getting a drink because the hookah definitely did it’s job! The atmosphere was very nice and intimate and their music choice catered to old and new school. Customer serv

I’ve been frequenting Byblos along with Vango and Fez over 15 years! The owners are the nicest and most gracious ppl you could meet! They take pride in their business and always aim to promote good customer service. I’ve had many birthday celebrations for myself and many family members! We come here for the great food, the hookah & cocktails and great atmosphere ! This establishment was Philly’s first hookah lounge and also has been the most consistent in the city! Come early for a relaxed vibe, later for a great lounge/nightlife scene. Literally my CHEERS!
