Byblos Deli

Located between a Fatburger and a taqueria not far S of Bellevue Square, Byblos Deli is a clean, bright, compact oasis of Mediterranean and European foodstuffs in an area urbanizing more rapidly than the Denny Triangle. The shelves are stocked with products varying from Syrian olive oil to Lebanese olives to Bulgarian sheep cheese. But the deli has a couple of tables and counter space for those who want some semi-exotic fast-food sandwiches. Yes, there are falafels and gyros of various types, but the house specialty is a delicious garlic and chicken-stuffed pita. And there are offbeat paninis.
