    Let's start with the atmosphere, high sealing wide open area, luxurious walls and decorative doors . Indoor and out door seating areas. The only negative point I realized there in no access for special needs ( wheelchair and baby strollers) to enter the restaurant and to use the restrooms. Overall this restaurant will be my first choice from now on, well done.

    The food is great as always, nice presentation, tasty ingredients, the service is professional.. however I had a very bad experience with the shisha smoke. The good thing is that they mentioned they don't have a non smoking area, but even though they don't have it they should! If you can't find an outdoor table, I advise not to visit it if you have an issue with the shisha smoke.

    Babel, in general, is an average restaurant in my opinion. What's good about it is the magnificent decoration of both plates & place and the level of service The food taste really average Half of what was ordered is not tasty, basic hummus is very average taste. The menu is well designed The service is impeccable, waiters and professional and smiling Prices are on the very high side Cleanliness is excellent. Restrooms are extremely nice and well maintained The restaurant is somewhat recommended Please follow my Instagram page Saline.sweet

    This restaurant is the ultimate spot to experience authentic Lebanese cuisine. The service is excellent, the food is amazing, and the ambiance is fantastic. I recommend it to all tourists who want to try Lebanese cuisine in an elegant setting, one of the finest restaurants in Lebanon. I especially recommend trying the raw meat and the birds, they are amazing. The desserts are also outstanding. I highly recommend the "achta bel achta," an achta ice cream topped with achta and rose jam.

    Food is really good, I've had better however Babel is among the cleanest and the tastiest. I usually go for dinners and special occasions due to the associated high cost that comes with visiting similar places. if u go there, make it a point to order a lot of their side platers and appetizers since these are really special and somewhat unique to this restaurant. Service is really good and staff are very attentive to details.

    Wow! What a nice place! It's huge (there is an old Olivier tree in the middle) and beautiful. The service is great as you've almost two waiters dedicated to you only. The food comes and comes and it never stops. Everything we tested was just wonderful. All traditional Lebanese dishes with some of them revisited by the chef. I highly recommend the place for a great evening.

    The most disrespectful place you would ever walk into as a tourist! Hostess rejected accommodating us by the entrance claiming that we had no reservation, even though the place was totally empty and the hotel had recommended them then provided a taxi service prior to our arrival.

    The restaurant is on Dbaye highway .. so you will be a little annoyed by the traffic noise .. but they added water sprinklers to the outdoors setup so it gives you a natural feeling .. and there is olive trees between the tables ( very nice) .. the indoors settings was so hot .. the ac was working but I think because of electricity they can't cool the huge place inside.. The food : one of the best food I had in my life .. raw meat (wow) .. hommos tabboley fatoosh raheb salad (fried kebbey was woow too) .. mains were grilled cutlets and kabab (also wow) .. They gave us fruits for free .. Definitely coming back .. Prices were like 30$ per person .. compared to the amazingly delicious food it's so fair ..

    Really nice place. The food is really good and the ambiance is great. If you are in Beirut, you must go there. They give you complementary fruits when you are done eating

    Babel puts high standards for Lebanese Cuisine with their sophisticated touch of elegance. First of all the place is very huge and can account for more than 500 persons. Has both indoor and outdoor seatings. Very warm welcoming starting from the hostesses along the waiters. Each item in their menu has been elevated in taste and presentation. The Mezza is wonderfully delicious and the portion sizes are large can easily fit for 4 persons. We had several Mezza : 1) Rocca Yogurt Salad (5/5) 2) Chili potato (5/5) 3) Fattet Batenjen (4/5) 4) Hommos Istanbuli (5/5) 5) Tajin Samak (10/5) highly recommended 6) chicken grilled (5/5) 7) Shrimps provincial (10/5)

    This place is spacious and beautifully decorated! The service is sophisticated, and the food is unique and tasty. Restrooms were clean and tidy. Formule for 4 is 44$ per person without beverages. We had à la carte and paid approximately 34$ per person for mezze and kebab. We were served a fruit plate that included Kiwi, grapes, peaches, pears, and plum. Valet service does not impose a fee.

  • 5/5 Rame K. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for dinner after a long and difficult day. This is the best meal I have ever had in Lebanon and one the best meals I’ve experienced in my life. I’ve traveled the world and I am a foodie. If they had Michelin Stars in Lebanon this should be awarded 3. Impossibly fantastic. Everything was a work of art. I had one complaint about a portion size and the manager immediately rectified it with a smile. This is rare in Lebanon. I have to go back. It is worth every penny. Pace yourself and order everything. The dessert is breathtaking. I don’t write reviews very often. I’m a Canadian born Lebanese person. This is comparable to any fine dining experience in North America and I would argue it defeats most of them. The food is beyond belief. I’m not exaggerating. Everyone agreed. Don’t miss this for your own sake. They deserve every award they’ve won.

  • 5/5 Bashir D. 1 year ago on Google
    What a treat! Babel will exceed your expectations every time you dine here. Everything is top notch. A must try when you’re in Beirut.

  • 4/5 Ali N. 3 years ago on Google
    For a place like babel where their reputation precedes them, amazing food ofcourse, well designed, prepared and tasted, but personally expected the service (waiter) to be more welcoming, i don't want to generalize the guy couldve had a bad day, but even that should not effect their work, amazing in total though.

  • 5/5 Ali H. 2 years ago on Google
    Best food in town

  • 4/5 Ramy N. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the food there in general, good thing google reminded me to write a review on this visit, not the previous one because it was a total disaster! However, apart from that one bad experience... 1- The food looks and tastes great. (Most of it, not everything so you should know what to pick). 2- The Service is great, professional, and courteous. (NO OVER-FRIENDLINESS) 3- The Atmosphere is ok, maybe the super high ceilings and the strong light is just not for me, but I can see the appeal. Hope this helps guys 😊

    It wasnt as crowded as i remember its used to be, the food was good at least what we got but they didn have everything we wanted. The hookah was good as well the waiter wasn the nicest though we asked for a menu he said its digital so we asked for wifi cz our US lines weren workin and they didn have any wifi service so we were like okay how are we suppose to order and he seemed much annoyed ignored us and stepped away!!! Another guy came, he was a bit nicer and provided his phone to scan the barcode and order.

    The quality of the food is always exceptional. The ambiance is unique giving you the feeling of authenticitywith the babelonic design -you are tricked to believe that is old and monumental. There is enough space to hold big groups. Will never say no for dinner @babel at any given day

  • 5/5 Eddy T. 4 years ago on Google
    Consistent premium service. Tasty food. Ambience was ok. Smoking indoors is the only negative in my opinion. It gets cloudy after a while. We had the mwarade, fatet kabab, humus beiruti, ras asfour in basil, mtabal with tomatoes, and mixed grill. then for desert the dates based one with ashta. They always offer a variety of seasonal fruits at the end. A good selection of apples, grapes, clementine, kiwi, and kumquat. Of course the prices are on the expensive end but that is expected in such a special restaurant.
