babylon

the best and freshest food in johnson city!. my husband and i visited babylon about two months ago and cannot stay away even for a week!! the chicken biryani is soooooo fresh and delicious. the shwarma is like a gyro in that it is a wrapped sandwich. it is also 2 -3 times the size of a gyro, so you get plenty to eat. babylon is also affordable. if you get water to drink, your bill for a shwarma - this is a wrapped sandwich- with a side will be under $6.50. so, agreatlunch for me is a chicken tikka shwarma (sandwich) with water to drink. my bill comes under $6.50. folks, this is more food, good and fresh food than i have ever gotten anywhere else.

the staff at babylon are friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. if i have never heard of something on the menu -like okra stew- they will give me a little taste. the okra stew is fabulous! bottom line: best restaurant all around. life is too short to live without experiencing this wonderful diner~

i love babylon!!!. babylon is wonderful!! i have been many times over the last year and it is always good. the waitress is always friendly and very ready to suggest dishes for anyone who is not familiar with the menu. the hummus is homemade and tasty! you can sit inside or out on the patio in warm weather which is really nice. the lamb shank served with rice and vegetables is fantastic. the lamb literally falls off of the bone and you could eat the whole dish with a spoon! they havegreatturkish coffee and tea and it is a good place to try the hookah pipe that is available in many flavors on the patio. it has a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and every time i go i leave with a to go box because i can never finish my plate!

i love this place.greatfood, the best hummus, and a nice patio in the summer or when it's nice outside. it's a nice location and in the middle of johnson city.

excellent, one of the best places to eat in johnson city tn! highly recommend. authentic food.greatpeople! love it!  i have gone several times and always had a good experience.

what a treat!. this little place suits me to a t!greatfood, warm friendly service...what more could one want? my personal favorites...beef shawarma and tabbouleh.

me and my boyfriend stopped in late on a saturday night and we were surprised at howgreatthe food was! the staff was super friendly and when i ordered something off the menu that they had run out of the owner went above and beyond to fix something similar. it was amazing! we also has the grape leaves and hummus which was some of the best we've ever had! he also said his gyro was one of the best he'd eaten. we will definitely be back. the only down side is the music was playing a little too loud but other than that agreatexperience!

love it. there are not to many places you can go to getgreatfood in johnson city, as a former restaurant owner/chef i can sure tell when everything is made fresh from scratch, we brought our own wine and started with the hummus and pita bread and an eggplant salad it was marvelous also i highly recommend the leg of lamb fall off the bone tender, served with rice with white bean stew or eggplant stew i highly suggest the eggplant stew! i could eat the eggplant stew everyday it was so good. one other time we went and had an assortment of salads and i had such a hard time deciding which i liked best. i would give the food 5 stars. the atmosphere is plain but food and service make up for that . the best mediterranean food i had in many years and ive traveled the middle east before. i used to own the fourwinds tearoom when it first opened

shawarma platter. the shawarma platter is melt in your mouth good!! the meat is perfectly cooked and shaved, it's juicy and full of flavor.greatfor eating with some yummy hummus and pita!!

great food. i love middle-eastern food and this place is great! the hummus, the kabobs etc...it's fresh and they are really friendly. it's tiny and not very fancy of a place, but the food is worth going here for. try something new and give it a shot! it's wonderful

falafel.greatquality. very authentic.

amazing food.greatservice. the lamb kabobs were amazing. can't wait to come back. finally something new in the tricities.

after 17 years in the tricities, finally somegreatmediterranean food. over the top,greatfood and service!

nice change!. itsgreatto see a new restaurant-especially one that offers something that the others don't. the staff were very accommodating and warm, and the food was very very good. there was a special desert they had that night that was amazing! i think it was a kind of baklava; orange in color. omg heaven! if you stop in, try it
