Babylon Cafe: Experience the Best of Middle Eastern Cuisine in Atlanta

I've been here a few times now.. Always delish food... I know Atlanta is full of lamb chops but these? Chefs kiss! Don't forget about the good hookah and bomb music!

Everything was amazing! The seafood platter was so seasoned and a great portion! I cannot wait to come back.

I had a great time at Babylon Cafe recently on a Saturday night. A close friend of mine celebrated her birthday here and reserved a section. We arrived around 9 PM. Parking was very limited, but we were able to park in the lot behind it (where Starship is) for free. They do begin to charge for parking in that lot after 10:30 PM, so I recommend arriving between 8 and 9:30 for ease in finding it for free. Babylon Cafe also charges a cover after 10 PM, so I recommend coming earlier for that reason as well. The reserved section came with bottle service, so we were able to enjoy Patron shots and the bottle girls came over with the bottle, sparklers and the birthday sign to celebrate our friend. I also ordered a mango margarita (I think it was called Babylonrita?) and it was good! We ordered lemon pepper wings and french fries and they were perfect for the booth that we were sitting in and helped with soaking up the tequila. We truly enjoyed the french fries. My friends that ordered the lamb chops and lamb bryani loved their food also, but took to-go boxes. I would love to try lamb bryani next time, but would not recommend that type of food for the section seating, because of the limited space and lower table making it harder to eat the lamb chops and rice/like dish. They do have general restaurant seating on the other side of the cafe. The music was awesome; this djay catered to the millennials that night! There was a mix of r&b, hiphop, afro beat, Mediterranean music, line dances, everything early 90s to the early 2000s with a mix of 2023! We were up dancing the majority of the time that we were there. We saw the belly dancer 2-3 times and she delivered a very fun and interactive experience where we could dance with her. It was a true party and it almost felt like we had the back of the place to ourselves because it was very intimate and not crowded. It is a great place for a birthday celebration or just to hang out on Saturday night. Overall, this experience was a VIBE that I have not had going out in a year or so. I would def. come back to enjoy dinner and music.

One of my best friends wanted to visit this spot for her 30th birthday turn up. I had never heard of this place prior and wanted to give them a try. This place is not that big and it's parking lot is very small. Like only about 8 cars can fit into the lot. Please be advised that this location charges twenty dollars after 10pm so it's best to come before to take advantage of free parking. As I mentioned the parking lot is small but we managed to find parking in the lot adjacent to the restaurant. Once you enter into the place, you are within a Mediterranean theme restaurant. It's as if this place wasn't in Atlanta, Ga but in another country. Very beautiful with the ambiance & furniture. My friend made reservations for 9pm sharp and we all arrived there on time. The DJ was top tier he played all the great throwback late 90's and early 2000 songs. It was a whole vibe indeed. As the new kids would say he understood the assignment for sure. On the night we went there was hardly anyone in the lounge/club area. Like when does that ever happen? We stayed for over 4 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. Every half an hour the belly dance would come out and dance with the bday girl. It was a whole vibe indeed and nothing but good times. Last but certainly not least the FOOD! I have to say this place does the best lamb chops. It was so juicy and tender yet did not lack flavor. Truly delicious and paired well with the basmati rice. The side salad was great too the dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette. I will be coming back just for the food cuz it was a whole vibe. The drinks were delicious the peach Babylon margarita was amazing & the hookah was good too.

This place was a vibe!! I planned a happy hour event for my Facebook group (Atlanta Social Crew). We came here on a Friday right at 6. I loved the decor. Everything looked so nice. They have plenty of space for large parties. It was about 12 of us. Happy has $10 drink of the day. $6 shot of the day and $20 hookah. It's from 6-8p but they did extend it til 11pm while we were there. Let me say Ciara, our server, was amazing! She was so attentive and that's rare when you have a large party. She was super sweet. I'll come back just to sit with her! I ordered the shrimp kabob. It was so good and flavorful. They have a small parking lot in the front. I think they valet as it gets later in the day. They are open until 6am! I will be back. Reel on Instagram : @miss_mekad

We went for Happy Hour at 6pm on Friday. Great vibe. The Food was Flavorful. Really like the rice and the flavor in the shrimp. My salmon was a little too well done. The drinks were good. I love the $20 Hookah. The service was ok. No complaints. I look forward to going back.

. ' . The libations are flowing here and they taste good. They also offer authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, hookahs, and an area for VIPs.

I gave 4-stars only because of the $40 parking fee. I felt that was a bit much considering I was there for dessert & a couple of drinks only. Apparently, there is a club, separate from the dining room in the back of the building. I sat at the bar. I ordered a drink + dessert. My Mojoto was a little sweeter than I have had from other bars, but I drank it down & ordered a Crown + cranberry. It's really hard to mess that up. The Lemoncello cake is the best dessert on the menu. Will I go back? Maybe if they come down on that parking price.
