Duncan MilneDecember 24, 2013Great food. Best falafel ever. Google maps has it in the wrong place though- Try Sour Spinach soup (Pazılı Ekşili çorba) A real healer! PS: Dunno why but it seems only tourists come here
Very good simple Turkish food and friendly staff in this small café/restaurant/bar
İstanbul'da yediğim en iyi mezeler.Muhteşem Antakya mutfağı ve kebaplarıyla Babel bir numarama yerleşti 😊
Gözde AydınyüzSeptember 17, 2017Özenli ve kaliteli hizmet, güzel müzik ve uygun fiyatlar... Cihangir'de gidilebilecek en iyi yerlerden biri. Özellikle Babel Special nefis! Diğer tüm yemeklerin de öyle olduğu şüphesiz.
Hüseyin ArslanJuly 8, 2015Müzik tercihlerini tek geçerim. Güzel yemek, çeşit çeşit bira, hoş muhabbet için İstanbul'u gezmeye gelen yerli yabancı tüm arkadaşlar tereddütsüz götürülebilir. Fiyatlar makul, çalışanlar güler yüzlü
