Babylon serves up some tasty middle eastern dishes, and has some misses. For appetizers, the fava bean dish is warm, satisfying, and has a lovely roasted/baked tasted. Chickpea salad has finally chopped vegetables and a very light dressing; some may wish to add a little more vinegar and spice to kick it up a notch. The tabbouleh is very fresh, parsely crisp and flavorful each of the 5+ times I ordered it. On the entrees: hits: Babylon chicken. Fantastic. Best kabob in the land so far imho. This is a chicken kabob marinated in a roasted red pepper sauce, grilled with visible charcoal grill marks and served with long-grain rice. Everyone loves it, and middle-easterns too. The ground beef kabob is done in a persian style, large flat skewer in the middle which creates a nice airy fold. Similar to noona kabob up in Albany Park. Misses: I think the shwarma is a miss. It is greasy, somewhat hard. The shwarma at Pita Inn (skokie, wheeling, etc) seems to be several cuts higher. Dessert: adequate baklava Service: friendly, but often overwhelmed during busy times. don't be bashful to get up and politely go to the counter to ask for what you need. Very accomodating wait staff- when they get a moment. value: bargain bargain bargain. Feed you, yours, and then some on the cheap with great eats.

We love love love the food here - we use it more for take out - though you would think with the amount we order from here the people would at least smile when we came in - nope - all business there.

Stopped in last Friday to my surprise it was Falafel Friday. The falafel was only 99 cents.I had to ask her if that was a sandwich?She just started the special that Friday. I got a falafel and a small hummus for around five bucks.You can't get good food like this on the McDonald's dollar menu. It was nice and so was the service.

The food at this restaurant is delicious. Unfortunately the staff knows little about good customer service, and seems to care less. I only order carryout now, and I always show up 15 minutes after they tell me it will be ready, so I don't have to wait.

the food at babylon was very good. great flavor and texture of the hummus and the tabbouleh was very fresh and had great acidity. the pita bread was really the only downer in the meal. they would have been better off servin gthe tabbouleh with traditional lettuce leaves. after the meze we had the house specialty "babylon" chicken kebab, served with rice and lentil soup or red beans. tasty tender chicken and the rice was flaky. the lentil soup needed a bit more seasoning. over all very good expereince, we ate on the sidewalk so it was a bit noisy but for the money it is a steal.

We ordered dinner this weekend and the hummos was terrible! im middle eastern it was unedible. i took one bite and thats it. it was runny and didnt taste good at all. My kebab dinner was really good though and so was my boyfriends. we never had any trouble before usually its fine. i should of called and told them. the soup wasnt good either. it was grainy and heavy. the entrees were good thats all. we were a bit disappointed on sunday

this place is awesome. the food is fantastic. i love the schwarma - it's all good especially the lamb! the hummus is so fresh and delicious as is the falafel. this is a great place for pick up or delivery. eating there is no big deal - as everybody who works there seems so nice. but the food gets top marks and is cheap, which is getting rarer and rarer in this neighborhood. Babylon is as inexpensive as any area mexican dive but the food is healthier and always made to order. i love this place!
