Babylon Restaurant Reviews
Small market with great character. Great variety of Middle Eastern products. Good feta and olives at the deli counter. Fresh bread straight from the oven. Very friendly staff at the deli counter and register. My only complaint would be that all the fresh bread is white flour - no whole wheat (though really, white bread is by far the norm in the Middle East and I shouldn't complain). It would be nice to have fresh whole wheat bread, but otherwise this place is great.
Really 4.5 stars. This is in my opinion one of the best small family owned Middle Eastern markets in the San Diego area. I drive there from downtown to get my fix. They have great prices and I love their nuts selection- they carry Iranian, Turkish and California pistachios. We are hooked on the smaller Turkish nuts. They have a "live" bakery- I call it live because it is always putting out fresh bread- I have never seen a stockpile of bread. It gets snapped up quickly. weekends...read full review

Such a great store. My mom has been shopping here since I was a kid. Same family runs it now. They are so helpful and the prices are great on things like dairy (amazing Greek Yogurt and Danish feta and butter) and henna. The produce is ok but I go to farmers market so I'm spoiled. The shop is super well organized and clean and I would recommend this place even to scaredycat whitebread folks who've never left the country.
