Review of Babel from 31 October 2012
I actually really like this place. Maybe not the best service, but if you want to get a nice place of Libanese food for a good price, and eat in a nice atmosphere this is really the place!

Review of Babel from 25 May 2011
(updated on 19 April 2012 )

Sometimes I go there and order schawarma “to go” .So far its best one I know in Prenzlauer berg (very strong garlic sauce) .I never spend there more than 5 mins,so I dont know much about friendliness of staff.For pet owners-dogs not allowed.

Review of Babel from 30 December 2011

Unpretentious Lebanese restaurant with generous plates of Middle Eastern fare. Self service only. Very casual. Friendly staff. Food is tasty, can be a touch on the salty side though.

If you’re wondering how to have a terrible stomachache due to indigestion, Babel could be a really good choice.

Review of Babel from 12 August 2010

Last night, at dinner with 3 friends, a dude from Babel yelled at me for drinking a beer...He got all hot and bothered and claimed his was the best falafel in Berlin and that not drinking their overpriced Berliner or Bex scheisse was verboten!

I responded that I found Maroush a far superior (and cheaper) culinary experience.

He told me to fuck off to Maroush and drink my Augustiner.

They should rename this hood Pretentious Berg...

    Yeah, weirdly enough restaurants don’t like it when you bring your own drinks. How pretentious! Try that in any other restaurant in Berlin and let us know how you get on.

Review of Babel from 19 November 2009

my favorite place for falafel in all of Berlin!

the falafel is always freshly fried (achtung: it shares the same oil as non-vegan items), and very tasty, good balance of spices and herbs. the grilled veggies are yummy and never overcooked like other places. the salad is made of various excellent quality ingredients like rucola, cucumbers, turnips, red onions, and tomatoes with a tangy mango dressing. their hot sauce is excellent too: very fresh (housemade i assume) and powerful with a citrus quality.

the only shortcoming is rude service. in fact one of the guys does resemble the Soup Nazi a bit. i guess they are cocky in knowing how good their falafel is.

Review of Babel from 13 August 2009

I don’t often provide reviews, but in ths case will make an exception. Aside from being cheap, I really found this restaurant to be very poor. Service was terrible, with the guy who served us shouting at us for asking advice. The inside was dirty and the outside was also average. I have grown up eating Lebanese food and while the meat and falafel were both ok, the salads, dips, vine leaves etc were poor. I would not recommend it and certainly would not eat there again.

Review of Babel from 27 August 2008

Fantastic food. Almost every time I’m in Berlin I go there. For just €6 you can eat probably one of the best middle-east food available in Germany or perhaps whole Europe :]. I’m not joking. Check it out! I recommend schawarma mit gemuese (shoarma with vegies or however you call it) - it’s a storm of tastes. Plate includes meat, about 10 or more types of vegies and 5 or so sauces. Every bite is different and fresh mint added on top is like a cherry on top of a cake :D. Don’t just read - go and eat ;).

Review of Babel from 17 June 2008

The food at this fabulous Lebanese on Kastanienallee is wonderful. I typically get a plate as the amount of food they give you for the price is outstanding. The garlic sauce is one of the best things about this place, and most Lebanese restaurants!
