Babylon: Reviews & Ratings
Came back and got the same thing! Their Beef Schwarma is fantastic! The meat is perfect, the fresh veggies are crisp and flavorful, and their fries are the crispiest I've had in this area. Service was prompt and our only negative was my wife opened her silverware and the knife had been used (GROSS!). Nothing fancy but the food is worth it.
The food was delicious!! Service was very quick. Definitely will be coming back!! Had the potato curry soup and the dolmas. Perfect on a cold snowy day.
The food and service were perfect. If you haven't tried lamb shanks yet, it's a must.
the owners are iraqi christians and very good people. the hummus is amazing and the tabbouleh salad is so refreshing . the kabobs and yogurt are great too!
Though I've posted reviews in the past for this restaurant, I feel it is proper to update and relay that their quality has not changed, it is superb!!! I would say it's probably one of the best restaurants and best dining experiences in the Tri-Cities. The quality of food is superb, always quick and courteous service and prices very reasonable. If you love Middle Eastern food you cannot possibly go wrong here.
Award winning dish--must try this appetizer as normally we get the falafel as a starter (as it's one of the best falafel dishes we have had ) , but we decided to try something different this time, kubee halab--scrumptious beef w potatoes w a crunchy rice coating and the green dipping sauce!!! I asked who made this and they told us it was his mom, which explains the comfort food type cooking you don't find often. Still in our rotation even after 7yrs.
House made hot pita absolutely delicious. We had tabbouleh and beef shawarma and beef kabob sandwiches. Everything delicious. Try the hot tea!
Great place for bare-bones Mediterranean comfort food. Loved the hummus and babaganoush, and a pretty solid tabbouleh. No atmosphere. Great service.
Excellent baba gannoush, fresh refreshing eggplant salad; mixed kebab plate juicy well seasoned with delicious garlic sauce. Will definitely return, highly recommend
Cost effective & fresh flavors that will fill you up at a very reasonable price 2 sandwiches & 2 appetizers run you around 40 bucks Very family oriented and service is great - I'll be back
