Babylon restaurant in Johnson City serves Iraqi and Turkish cuisine

I’d go to red mezze for real Turkish coffee. I believe they can read the coffee grounds. I don’t think they do that at babylon.

My friends and family LOVE Babylon. Delicious food, friendly staff, and affordable prices. We’ve been getting orders from this place for several weeks now and they even remember our order! It really makes us feel valued and is definitely a great lunch / dinner spot that deserves your business! Try the mixed Kebab or falafel wrap, you won’t be disappointed. Also their tea is so good.

YUMMY!!!!! This place has been around for years…why haven’t I been there before this?! I had the chicken kabobs & hummus and my daughter had the grape leaves. All the food was delicious!!! The hummus was the best I’ve had in this area and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The decor is nothing fancy, but the restaurant is clean, and the server was friendly and attentive. I can’t wait to go back!!

Alright, we waited almost 3 years to try this Mediterranean restaurant since moving back to the US after living in the Middle East for 8yrs…because we didn’t want to be disappointed with the food. Our gut was right. The food was awful! I ordered the mixed kabab, which is normally in the Middle East it comes with hot, freshly made arabic bread, and this one came with a half cold tortilla lol…my rice tasted like leftover rice and it was cold. The beef pieces were chewy and hard to eat. The chicken tasted bland. My husband didn’t like his Dolma dish much either. He said I can make them better at home. My daughter ordered chicken tenders. They were super hard like a rock, and we could tell they were not fresh. The only things that were fresh and tasted good were the French fries and the lamb kabab. The place is rundown and needs a serious makeover. The only server there wasn’t friendly and seemed annoyed by the customers. We complained about our food, and he ended up giving us the kid’s meal free. It was our first and last time going there. If you have ever tried authentic Middle Eastern food, you will be disappointed.

First time coming (down visiting friends in Kingsport from Ohio) and was looking for a nice not too heavy meal. Humus looked good and then saw they served shawarma and my husband was sold. Did not disappoint. He said the beef shawarma was great. I had beef shish Tikka. Very good and the humus was spot on. We also had falafel which was very good. The rice was stellar with some Tikka sauce on it-oh my goodness. We were sad that there wasn’t more of the warm fresh pita with the shawarma.

Their shawarma isn’t shwarma. Thick chunks of low quality beef barely marinated or spiced. This is not what shwarma is at all. Very low quality food. Wish they would try to do better. Baklava is nearly stale; ordered, not made in house. Hummus was not flavorful. Low quality olive oil. No shatta or harissa, just Sriracha on the table? The salt in the shaker was clumped together from humidity and unusable. You can tell very little pride is taken in the running of this establishment. Like many East TN ethnic restaurants, the bar is set so low, and unrecognizable from authentic counterparts found elsewhere in the U.S. A large problem is their patronage knows nothing better due to lack of experience so the bare minimum gets regarded as a standard.

If you’re going to source poor quality beef to make your shawarma, it should at a bare minimum be sliced thin. That is what the dish is about. If you can’t even do that perhaps source premade frozen shwarma and throw it on the flat top. Somehow this shoddy excuse for shawarma would be an upgrade to this imposter shwarma you currently sell.

Unfortunate and sad. It isn’t difficult nor expensive to make beef shawarma properly. Even without the access to a rotating flame spit, this dish can be made better or at a bare minimum, adequate. Take some pride. The current representation reflects either a lack of care or acknowledgement of the local populaces ignorance of what the food should be. I’m not sure which is worse but neither should be acceptable to an establishment that cares.

I was shocked to find other middle Eastern people eating here. Usually that can be an indicator the food is good. I guess when options are limited, you’ll accept anything. Two stars is a generous rating. Last time I came it was trash as well.

They didn’t have the hookahs as in previous menus, I have added the new menu to my pictures so everyone can enjoy!
This Is more iraqi than middle eastern The gentleman is From iraq and it has a little bit different taste than the normal lebanese or egyptian type foods. I do recommend getting a turkish coffee while you’re there!

Great late lunch here. Steak shish tikka was excellent, hummus was super appetizer. Very nice young man took our orders, cooked and served our food and collected payment. He did all this in a polite and professional manner. Very clean, quiet dining experience.
Return trip, see photos. Excellent experience x2.

First time patron and it won’t be the last time. Came for lunch and was very pleased.

We started with some Pita and Hummus and it was one point; good amount of spice on the Hummus, the pitas were hot and fresh, and we devoured it all. Two at our table got the Falafel and two got the Beef Schwarma; no complaints on the food. I had the Beef Schwarma and loved it. Great combination of vegetables to accompany the meats and it was hot. The French fries were well done, crispy, and lightly salted; they were delicious.

Service was quick and efficient. And music was playing in the background. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and I want to come again.

The only reason I have less stars was because they served tortillas, chicken cordon bleu was just a chicken cutlet breaded but not fresh breaded it was a precooked type just like the kids chicken tender plate. And it had American cheese….The hummus, tabouleh, lamb and chicken and potato stew was good. It just screamed budget Mediterranean like a taco shop versus an authentic Mexican restaurant. Prices were very high for the quality imo.
