Babylon Market

I'm attempting to make the viral Dubai chocolate bar and came here for phyllo dough! Found it in the freezer section. Very reasonable pricing and the staff were very friendly.

Excellent grocery for Middle East and Mediterranean foods, spices and especially olives. The restaurant seen is older reviews is no longer open.

I wish it was closer to me to shop more frequently or weekly. My husband and I love the store easy to find things, the okra is always good and fresh here as all vegetables and fresh herbs. Good fresh meat choices as well from butcher. Love love the bread with potato and herbs the dough is so flaky and melts in your mouth and the herbs mixed with potato so flavorful. Look for those little homemade packaged things I am telling you the best freshest food with natural ingredients like your mom or grandma made. Its Turkish style like bourek. Very good. I once came in and they didn't have them I was so disappointed I wanted my brother to try it while he was visiting for a quick snack. But look for the rack with fresh baked goods or ask them if you don't see them, you will thank me.Also, great to find those ethnic item staples you need for cooking middle eastern/european.

Sometimes someone recommends a place that is like a new adventure. I started this new Mediterranean collection as I have been on the hunt for new and fun things from the Middle East. I had several wonderful meals in California and Phoenix and I decided to dig in my own backyard. The owners here at this market are friendly and inviting. It doesn't matter that I'm the minority when I walk through the door. One of the workers bent over backwards to help me find a particular space that I had bought years ago (where; I can't recall?!?) I never did find it on the shelf but he came back about 10 minutes later and found it in the catalog and offered to order it for me. I found several items I've never seen in any other market, and I've been in a few in California and Phoenix. Mostly I was looking for spices and "Halvah" Which is ground up sesame seeds, honey or sugar, and often pistachios. Usually it's in a Candy form but this place had it in small tubs. I'm not sure how they eat it but I guess I would put it on the plain cookie or a rice cracker?? It's a tight packed place with a restaurant in the back. I could smell the bread baking. There were a lot of people coming in to order food - - which I'm going to have to do in the future. They even had a butcher shop! There are breads, teas, mystery items (mysterious for me!) and spices galore. They even had some tea pots and special serving trays from Iraq I believe. The owner told me that is where he is from. I will certainly be back to dig some more!

Amazing market with a huge variety of food, teas and accessories. One of the best markets in town.

After listening to a friend rave about this place for weeks the husband was close enough today to pick up some lunch. They have a great website with clear menu descriptions and pictures of the options, making it easy to call in an order if you've never been. The call was answered promptly and good service given over the phone. Told 10 minutes till ready. The husband showed up and just had a wait a couple minutes for the food, which gave time to look around store and pick up some Turkish delight and see all the spices that are available there.We ordered the falafel plate, beef kebab plate and combo plate which had both chicken and beef kebabs. The kebab plates came up with rice and all plates came with hummus, pita and a little salad. Huge servings. The daughter and I will both get two meals out of the one.Delicious food, great sauces, and good service. Definite win

Babylon is on fire!!!! Love it, Love it, Love it!!! It is outside my travel area for food, it is now going to be a part of my food pilgrimage for many reasons.1. The prepared food in the kitchen is so fresh and delectable I cannot get enough. The hummus is smooth and creamy, Waleed turned me onto this summer squash ganoush that is everything.2. The meat counter fresh and ready not frozen.3. They are super nice and care about the people who come in.4. A wide variety of other food items from the near to middle east. Really all of the Med countries including North Africa and the Balkans have variations of the same foods, which a lot of the ingredients are to be found here.5. All of it, just all of it!!!They are local and his brother has my other favorite place to eat in all places, the food court at the Tucson Mall Kebab King.

Sadly they don't serve food inside anymore. It's just the market now. I have checked back several times because I loved everything on the menu but they have closed the lil grill in the back.

Great grocery store in Tucson. They have everything middle Eastern and N African. Unfortunately they no longer serve food on site. Proprietors are friendly and speak Arabic as well as English. Fun place, easy parking in front.

Be warned the photos are misleading as they no longer serve ready made food. Restuarant is closed now. All canned or frozen shelf unless you go to the butcher counter where they sell goat heads for $2.57 a pound! This place is busy around lunch time so best to go another time......most of the items are not in English so can be hard to know what you are buying, and many workers no speakie English. But this is a great place to find interesting food.
