Do not miss out on this little gem of the valley! The food is amazing and the service is too. I loved that we could pick the veggies alongside the entree and all sorts of sauces. We got the Chicken Shawarma and Beef Shawarma on rice, which also came with stunning warm bread. I never thought I would say this, but I actually think the food is so yummy it doesn't even need a sauce to make it shine!

Authentic food, nice people. Been several times and will continue to return. Can be a bit of a wait as everything is prepared once you order it. Love the chicken and beef schwarma, kebabs are great. Salad is fresh and colorful. Kids enjoy it, has a great store attached. Great addition to Harrisonburg. Pita and hummus are delicious. Flavorful and on point. I hope you enjoy!

VERY KIND STAFF!!! I was raised eating Mediterranean food. This place is the real deal. The baklava is some of the best I’ve had. The crispy crunch is there. All of their ingredients and food is made fresh daily. You can taste how fresh the food is…very rare to come across nowadays. This place has some of the freshest ingredients you’ll have at an eatery. I was impressed. I got the lamb kebab with rice, tabouli, baba ghanoush, and fresh vegetables. All of it was great. I also had the black tea and my friend ordered the chicken shawarma wrap with everything on it. She didn’t speak to me the entire meal it was so good she said. I highly recommend this place, they also have a market inside with tons of food and drinks. The falafel was great and the fries were ok as well. Overall I’ll be coming back every time I stop in Harrisonburg.

Babylon is hands down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve ever been to. The shawarma was packed with flavor, and the kabobs were perfectly grilled—tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. The hummus, garlic sauce, and rice were also amazing

Phenomenal Mediterranean food! We had the beef/lamb and chicken kabobs platters, which came with rice and bread. Very delicious. The food counter is located in a grocery and there is a small indoor seating area as well outdoor seating.
