Ancient Recipes, Generous Plates

At Babylon, we cook the way feasts were meant to be - over open flame, with patience and generous spice. Our kababs are hand-skewered and char-grilled, our lamb shanks slow-roasted until they fall from the bone, and every plate arrives piled high with fresh vegetables and the chef's special rice. Rooted in Middle Eastern tradition and served with American warmth, Babylon is a place to gather, share, and eat well in Johnson City, Tennessee.

The Mixed Kabab was exquisite! Tender and juicy with plenty of fries! The Chicken Cordon Bleu was equally so! The Beef Shish Tikka was absolutely divine and the Baklava was such a delight to end our meal with! Absolutely would recommend anyone to try these dishes, you will absolutely not be disappointed!

I don't often review restaurants but this place is easily a go-to for me. Definitely some of the best Mediterranean food in Johnson City a the Mixed Kebab is ALWAYS good. A fairly large plate of food. I can usually get a meal and a half out of it. I would recommend Babylon to anyone
