Babylon Market

The owner and his son are amazing people, always greet you with a hello and a smile. The store is always organized, clean and stuck with products. I drive 25 minutes to Modesto to shop for my groceries.

Breads...omg best selection. Cheese is on point. Spices and pickled goods are awesome. Butter, Dumplings, Kefir and Olives...best price and selection. This is the place to be, come get some feta cheese, lavash and fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and good selection of sardines!

They have everything your heart can desire. Their selections are bar none compared to other Assyrian stores in the area! Really clean and well maintained!

Welllllll a lot of stuff is expired most of the time like sweets or sunflower seeds things like that, and it's way way over priced and his excuses are always, these items are shipped from overseas. Everything is shipped from overseas for him well, the same items are shipped from overseas in other cities, and they're not as expensive as this place.

This market is my go-to for my family's middle eastern items that I can't find easily elsewhere. And honestly I'd rather shop at a locally owned business anyways. It's always quiet and clean. The family that works there has always been super respectful and honest. One thing to note the fresh lahmajun does sell out quick, so go to the store early in the morning if you need it. 10/10 would recommend.

If you even like liver just a tiny bit, I would urge you to try their mother goose liver paste. ( I hope I'm saying the right name) it literally disappears in your mouth. Wonderful ! I love all of the bread and seasonings they have. I love that I can try things that I never tried before. I really like the mint flavored yogurt drink they have.

Great middle eastern/Assyrian market, wonderful healthy selections. Well managed and kind people. Wish I lived closer but when ever I am there, I will shop at this fun and well stocked market.

We have been coming here over the last couple of years to get charcoal for incense, kafir, and other Assyrian items. Owners are very friendly and every once in a while they will give you free pita bread. They have a large assortment of Mediterranean, Lebanese, middle eastern and just cool food from that part of the world.

This is a hidden secret, I am sure popular with Assyrian people, but possible not visible to the general population (this includes me). Staff is super helpfull, respectfull. Bread brought in daily from Turlock, heaven....Wide variety of ethnic specific foods. Would recommend stopping in for any reason, but here are my go to's:- Fresh Olives from the deli- Fresh cheese from the deli- Frozen gyro meat, so good to make in a pinch, fresh is stellar levels better, however the frozen version in stock it spot on, and a go to for a quick weeknight meal.- Honey seasame candies (you can't leave the store without these)I am obsessed about the cheese that I will go into detail here. I am a huge cheese fan.- The blue cheese is spot on, perfect balance of fresh and funky, if you are into that.- The Feta cheese is fresh made, in baths of water, would recommend try all three variations, consistently good and beyond what you are used to in the local supermarket.- The Kasseri cheese is something unfamilliar to an average American, I would strongly recommend you tyr this just to try this. If you have not been here and you are a foodie, totally missing out.

Superior local source for feta, olives, middle eastern ingredients like Pomegranate molasses and tahini. Everyone is courteous and pleasant.
