What Donna D doesn't like about Babylon Cafe:
It seems every time I go this place they always have new employees first of all I had ordered chicken wrap and took it home It kind of smelled off anyways I work up this morning with the worst stomach pain ever also the staff were really rude I will not even think to go there any more for rotten food! View all feedback. What PrestonGuild likes about Babylon Cafe:
I recently dined at a reasonably priced Middle Eastern restaurant that was halal. Conveniently located just a short walk from our hotel, the service was attentive as it was not too crowded when we visited. The chicken dish I ordered was delicious. View all feedback.

Muerto de hambre, caí en este lugar. No tiene nada de lujoso, pero la comida es riquísima y a buen precio. El shawarma es muy bueno.

The lamb shawarma plate was delicious and generous. I got an Egyptian soda which was a bit more, but worth it to try something new.

Babylon Café has received mixed reviews, with some customers praising the delicious wraps and plates of shawarma, while others have complained about portion sizes and new management changes. The Robson Street location is recommended for its generous servings, while the Nelson at Granville location may leave you hungry. The restaurant offers reasonable prices and halal options, with attentive service and flavorful dishes overall. The falafels, chicken dishes, and lamb shawarma are highlighted as some of the best choices on the menu. Despite some negative experiences, Babylon Café remains a popular spot for Middle Eastern cuisine in downtown Vancouver.
