Reviews For Babylon house of shawarma Kurdish restaurant

Loved the food. Reasonably priced and wonderful server. We ordered the lamb kebab, baba ghanoush and falafel wrap and they were all delicious. However, I might not want to add red cabbage in the falafel wrap next time. Just my personal preference, probably more liked by others. Also enjoyed the freshly made bread. The complimentary lentil soup was a lovely welcome gesture. Not to forget everything was halal! Definitely recommend if visiting Oxford.

The food was great - the chicken shawarma tasted fresh and their bread was amazing. Their baklava was also a nice sweet treat. Portion sizes are big and definitely value for money. Staff were all so friendly and give you free lentil soup as you wait for your meal. Would definitely go again!

I’ve come here a few times and always pleased with everything, the food is always delicious, the service is welcoming and the atmosphere is always clean and a delight to eat in. I had the chicken shish and it was the perfect amount of food and the salad complemented perfectly with the chicken, my partner had the lamb shish and was very pleased with his food as well as the level of excellent customer service from all the employees. I would definitely recommend and plan on coming back.

I was a bit skeptical about this place but after walking in, I saw it was beautiful. The service was second to none and as for the food, we had the lamb and it was phenomenal. Truly. And the home made bread. We both love meat and really enjoyed it and the salad. More people should go. Everyone we saw there was foreign. Us brits are missing out! Well we didn’t. We had a great time here. Would definitely go back. We even had some free lentil soup!
