Byrsa Bistro - Kennett Square

Always a great meal! The staff was attentive and the pre-dinner mojito was the best I have ever had!

Always a pleasure to dine here especially with BYOB. We love Mediterranean food and it does not disappoint!

Outside in an almost magical setting with great food and friendly service

Love this place! Bring back the chicken :-)

We have had Paella before, but not for over a year. Quality has decreased greatly. Overcooked rice, seafood of poor quality and even worse quantity. So disappointed. We will not return. So sorry to lose this option.

To start out with the 15min wait for drinks and appetizer (cold appetizer) we decide to sat inside because it was getting cold, after we sat inside that's when they brought our appetizers and drinks. After 30 minutes waiting for our food,the food came in my partner order Paella(we are Hispanics we know how it looks PAELLA), well it was soup, the seafood was gummy (overcooked), I order Bolognese pasta, pasta was a little thick and beef was to grainy (overcooked) and dark to my taste. The wine was nasty. We felt bad for the staff (short staff) there were running around like crazy.

Great food! Caprese Salad was amazing! Everything wonderful.

Sad experience at Byrsa Bistro. First of all the only beer or wine available is made in PA. We tried the rose and it was not drinkable but not attempt was made to remove the charge or offer another choice. We ordered the Mediterranean appetizer and a guacamole appetizer to share among the 4 of us. Portions were very small, although the menu said it was meant to be shared. The hummus and tomato relish lacked seasoning, which was odd given that the other dishes were over seasoned. The asparagus/ramp soup got rave reviews all around. The salad were essentially very fresh Romaine lettuce but not much else. A mushroom pizza was large and full of mushrooms. The pasta with lamb had overcooked pasta and very little lamb or other seasoning. Two of us got paella. While multiple seafoods were listed on the menu, it was mostly mussels with a few shrimp. The rice was mush. For one of us the paella was entirely over spiced. The spiciness was not noted on the menu. Very little was eaten of that entree and again no questions were asked. The server was a very nice young man, not old enough to drink as he told us when we asked about the wine. The menu pricing is not high, but given the poor quality of the food , it was overpriced.

The food and service was very good!! We were happy to be out and about.

Out of town guests

Service and food were amazing! What a gem of a place!

First time there. Disappointed with the portions especially for the price. Will not return

Had 5:15 reservation in a Friday night. I don’t know if the waitress was new or just bad. Ordered a bottle of wine (their own brand Sauvignon blanc-bleh). Asked waitress if she had something to chill the bottle to which we received a blank stare and then she said she could take it back down out in the refrigerator for us. We asked do you have an ice bucket? “Oh yeah. “. It was very disjointed service. Asked for some bread with our entrees. Another tough question for another waitress. She finally said,” I could do some pita”. We literally had to help them learn how to serve. Food was ok but overall experience will not bring me back. Disappointing bc my last experience at their place across the street was exceptional.

Great menus, food, and service! Highly recommend!

Went for a pizza night. Their pizza is outstanding and service impeccable. I see they now added Mexican fare. Can't wait to try.

Front of the house too busy, could not keep up with take out pick up, and inside dining. Trying to change to add Tex Mex in addition spreads too thin. Disappointing.

Best mushroom soup in Kennett. The restaurant has 2 sides now, with Byram on the right and Mexican on the left. Items can be ordered from either side. The tacos are really more like mini fajitas.

Always great food and wonderful service

The branzino and salmon were very good and a perfect portion. The mushroom soup was very flavorful. We enjoyed our visit.

A little drafty cold in the window area. The restaurant is cute and they had rose petals out. Dolmades were good. Bronzino was thin and crispy with good vegetables. The lamb and noodle dish was lacking lamb. Two small
Pieces of lamb in our dish. Strange it was served to us that way. It was good tasting though. Service was very good. Wine we bought was more a white table wine not Sauvignon Blanc tasting. Will be back!

Great menu and staff! Highly recommend! Delicious Food!

Restaurant was a little drafty and cold which distracted from our meal. Everything else was fantastic.

It was pizza night at Byrsa in Kennett Square. My wife and I love their pizza and the fact that it is BYOB and we can bring a wine from my cellar makes perfect. Ahmed did a great job expanding his menu a few months back to have pizza and wings! Thanks Ahmed for another great meal ...Margie and Dave

We ate inside, there was just one other couple in the room, so we felt very safe. In fact, the attention we received made the evening feel very special. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly.

Love this place! Can’t go wrong with anything you choose on the menu—it’s all delicious!!!

Food, drinks and service were great! Great pizza for kids and entrees for adults.

Our party of 7 had a wonderful experience here, the food, the service and ambiance were all outstanding!

We chose to sit inside, so even though there was live music on the street, we had no trouble having a normal conversation at our table. The staff was very accommodating to our requests, we weren't rushed, and everything arrived at its peak. We would be very happy with the Mediterranean Sampler for dinner; it is so good.

Ahmed is the most gracious host and always has a good to share.

We highly recommend Byrsa Bistro.

Our dinner was excellent and the service was the same.

Everything is wonderful about this restaurant Except the food. It’s just really not very exciting and is way over priced for the quality. We went to Byrsa at its old location in kennett and it was amazing then. I’m not sure what happened with the menu or food quality, but it’s definitely not the same. The restaurant itself is amazing and the servers were great..: hopefully the menu will continue to improve over time.

We enjoyed an evening of outside dining during one of Kennett's Fridays with the streets closed. Place was busy, and we had great service, food and drinks. Did not feel rushed. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Loved the food! Loved eating in the streets of Kennett!

Was a wonderful outdoor dining experience to enjoy with good friends!

Great food, loved sitting outside

We eat in the street and it was very good. The waitstaff and food was excellent.

Dinner outside was good. I was as disappointed because I wanted to get their chicken tagine; however they removed it from their menu. That was the reason I went! Bring it back!!! The dinners my companions got were good: the salmon and branzino were well cooked and delicious.

We ate outside, so that's why it was noisy, as there was a band playing. But we didn't mind! It was actually a very lovely evening out, which we hadn't had in months. The food was delicious, the service was great. I look forward to returning!

Service was very slow - only 2 other tables
No romaine lettuce
Staff acted like they didn’t want to be there

We went on a Thursday afternoon, so there weren't too many customers. We were seated outside and the tables and chairs were clean. The server was very kind and responsive. The food was phenomenal. We got the Mediterranean Sampler for the appetizer. The pita was warm and flavorful. The cucumbers, tomatoes, and chickpeas tasted fresh. The "mixed veggie puree" tasted like Babaganoush and it was really tasty. The hummus was very nutty and smooth. The grape leaves were slightly warm and full of flavor. For our main courses, we got the Kennett Square mushroom pizza and the lamb sandwich. Again, full of flavor. The pizza is well worth the money and you could really taste the mushrooms. The lamb sandwich was savory and full of spices (not sure what they were) and the bread they use is toasted ciabatta. We had an excellent experience. Highly recommend!

Always very good food at Byrsa Bistro. We love the outside tables and the ambience of so many others eating outside, all far away. My wife loved her bronzino (fish) dish, and my salad with salmon was excellent, also, except that the salmon was over-cooked.
