    I came here the first day and I ended up coming here the next two days also, good and fresh traditional food at good prices. If you’re a normal human being you will love it, try the barbecue it’s actually barbecue not something grilled.

    Loved it! Great meat (we shared the platter with cordon bleu and steaks), great portions, fast service, good wine! Unassuming place, authentic and local. Also affordable. The waitress was particularly helpful, nice and smiley. She really deserved a good tip! We will definitely go back!

    Great local food! Lovely service! Our first visit, we were the only ones dining outside. We still came back because the food was so good! Our second visit, there were more patrons. A better sign that locals eat here.

    The food is good, with great taste and very large portions. The staff was not very friendly to us tourists however. The place seems reserved for locals, and although tourist do get served it's clear the restaurant is not catering to tourists. Prices are good, and the food is very tasty (and plentifull)

    We stopped in for lunch after seeing the higher star review; and regretted it almost instantly. My review is as follows: Food - 1⭐ First off, took forever to get our food. The salad came first and it was not edible; soaked in vinegar to the point to burning my nose. My chicken was raw in several places and it was stuffed with cheap grated pizza ham, not appetizing at all. French fries were cold and just not very good. On the bright side, the bread was delicious. Wait staff - 1⭐ The waiter was as dry and unfriendly as he could have been. We waited a very long time for our food. Atmosphere - 1⭐ I've lived in Croatia since after the war and this place and it's preach paint reminded me of those old restaurants, everything was peach back then. The place didn't feel very clean either, it wasn't dirty, like where I could pinpoint a place, it just felt dusty. We were not charged for my chicken but we did have to pay for the salad that I couldn't eat. We will NOT be returning.

    Babylon offers a satisfying dining experience with delicious and fulfilling meats, as well as a variety of tasty local dishes that cater well to tourists. The restaurant stands out for its food quality and diverse menu. However, a notable drawback is the pervasive cigarette smell inside the restaurant due to the allowance of smoking. This can significantly impact the overall ambiance. Additionally, there were instances where the service lacked attention; waiters seemed to be absent, leaving us as the only customers in the restaurant. On a positive note, the desserts, especially the ice creams, were exceptional – some of the best I've ever had. The presence of TVs showing football goal highlights added a nice touch, creating a pleasant atmosphere. In summary, if you can overlook the smoking aspect and occasional service lapses, Babylon is a good choice, especially if you're in the vicinity. The food quality, diverse menu, and delightful desserts make it worth considering for your dining experience. 👍👍

    nice food and good service, it’s not located in old town center but it’s just about 10 -15 minutes walking from the old town.

  • 3/5 Matko 7 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    First, the food from the grill is good or very good, the portions are plentiful for those who like to eat a lot, however "it is not a fine restaurant". Waiters are not very friendly and often make professional mistakes in dealing with guests. After a few times, I can conclude that some guests are sometimes very loud and prone to shout without respect to others. Although it could be called a family restaurant, many things are not at the level of such a great impression. Conclusion: apart from generous portions from the grill, don't expect much more.

    We've been there in our days in split twice. We read about local in this place and it was right. In a little corner outside the center, but near (10 mins on foot, less the the waiting in anyone of tourist restaurant), there is this simple and very nice place. We ate at reasonably prices a very huge meat platter named on the place, Babilon. Good meat, brilliant handmade cevapci, and two beers, less than 300kn (275 to be precise). A mirage for quantity, quality and price for the very center. Smiles from waiter warm the ambient. Thank you, very good work, and very good products.

    Everything was good. Waited quite a while for our food. The food was ok, nothing special. The waiter and waitress were really nice.

    If you’re after genuine Croatian food, great food & reasonable prices, this is the place to go. Huge range to pick from (including GF / Veg options) and lots for everyone. Ended up coming here for dinner twice during our stay because nothing else could beat it.

    We visited Babylon restaurant twice during our four day stay in Split. The service was great, the food was tasty, well presented and not overpriced. We would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Bart van K. 2 years ago on Google
    Eat with the locals! Affordable restaurant with great portions! It's not fine dining if you're looking for that, bit the food is delicious. The lady who served us was lovely and recommended us some good food. Would 100% recommend.

  • 4/5 Pradeep M. 8 months ago on Google
    Value for money food. Service is slow but waiters are very nice.

  • 5/5 Kadi M. 10 months ago on Google
    Everything was as described. Very big portions and good quality service. You can get a lot of food for the price. It was visible that the place is loved by the locals.

  • 5/5 Davide C. 2 years ago on Google
    We ate at Babylon two times. In this place you can feel in a tipical croatian restaurant. Mixed grill and Lamb peka were faboulous. The waitress were very kind and nice. Qualità/price perfect! Highly reccomend!

  • 5/5 CONOR G. 8 months ago on Google
    Just a few minutes outside centre of Split , very much a community restaurant. We were staying close by in Airbnb but only ever saw locals eating here . It is associated with local football team . The prices are a fraction of those in the centre . We had a mixed meat grill for 4 which was more than enough for the 4 of us - meat was well seasoned & cooked just right . It cost a 1/3 of the price for same meal in town . They do takeaway & delivery . Staff really friendly when we picked up our meal

  • 5/5 Nicolas T. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved it! The octopus salad, shrimp salmon pasta and pizza were excellent. Prices are also very good. Waitress was very nice as well

  • 3/5 ATIX X. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good enough, but the waiter was grumpy and slow. Very slow.

  • 2/5 Taha O. 1 year ago on Google
    Something must have changed since the last five star reviews shown here because our experience was totally different. There were 8 of us and none of us was satisfied with the food. For instance, the steak was so tough it was inedible (we were offered sharper knives to slice it up when we complained 😄), and the calamari was so chewy that we asked for a fried version instead of grilled. The fries were oily and in general the food was underseasoned!

👍👍 The wings were bbq style saucy and a little spicy. I love spicy so I asked for hot sauce and the waiter brought over a trio of their own signature hot sauces.

👍👍 Best pizza I've ever had! And I just got back from a trip in Italy. The truffle and margarita pizza were amazing! But my favorite dish of the night, was the dessert pizza! Honestly couldn't recommend this place more. Will definitely be back!
