I ordered the beef platter, serving is huge, beef meat was tender but what I am looking for a shawarma is some part of the meat is a bit toasted, this one is not, they serve it with a salad and a fita bread. . yes the pricing is very affordable, but you review places not only with the pricing, the merit mostly shoiuld be the taste and quality of the food. The taste of what I ordered was very average, nothing really special if i will compare it to other similar gigs that sell's thesame dishes...well this place will come last....

I got their Grilled Lebanese Arayes Akawi Cheese (Pita Bread with Akawi Cheese grilled). The cheese was nonexistent existent and the photo comes with veg which never came. I also got the Falafel plate (Five falafels with rice, fattoush and tabouli salad, hummus, tahini, a stuffed grape leaf, and pita bread). I said no rice which they offered fries instead! Great, yes. I said no pita as well and added sides of their garlic sauce and their spicy garlic sauce. This plate is huge! Easily 2 meals. Mines came with rice and no fries and pita. Also, their spicy garlic sauce was just hot sauce. The stuffed grape leaf was not fresh and was not right. The salads, falafel, and even rice are good. But would not make another visit.

I always remembered the food at Babylon Cafe as being good. And I used to go to the commercial…read moredrive outlet (now permanently closed) often when I used to work in the area. So I was quite excited to get the food here when I was in English Bay Area. I always love the plates so I ordered the chicken shawarma plate to go. It was generously packed and the salad was fresh. There was so much lemon juice that it was really sour. Same for the potatoes. The chicken was a bit hard. What I didn't like was the charging. It's not transparent. As I got it to go, the staff just keyed in $19.99. It was $17.99 on the board. Even with gst, it should be less. So I'm not sure if the additional charge is because it's to go or they automatically added a small tip? Anyway this will be the last time I will buy food here. Right next door, there's a restaurant selling the same thing, and many more in the area.

About 10 years this was by far the best shawarma in the whole city and I went every week for years,…read morereally disappointed to say it's not the same at all. The flavor and portion size is just not there. I didn't try their fries and all the new extra stuff they added but it was still busy at 10pm so clearly people love it. Didn't seem very clean as well. The food here was excellent before and now just typical. I think the owner left or retired a few years ago and it wasn't the same since

The first time we went there, we weren't as familiar with Donair items, so we ordered the chicken shawarma platter. We were blown away by how generous their portions were, the worker kept pouring the meat onto the box along with everything else (we really thought the box wasn't able to close!). Then as we come back more often, we tried out their other items, their lamb is now our favorite. The seasonings they put into their lamb is different than ones like Donair Dude, it is much more unique. Their platter's sides are just unbeatable, garlic potatoes, hummus, salad, and pickled goods! Every time my girlfriend and I go there, we only order one platter to share, and we still can't finish it! Regardless which worker is serving you theyll all treat you generously, must try!

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal. Service is much like a food court. Self-serve, self-seat, no water provided. It's a small restaurant with around six tables.

After I ordered my chicken shawarma plate, the counter guy was just walking around inside of counter. Other lady was preparing my Baba ganoush in the kitchen area. It took 5 mins finally he STARTED to prepare my meal. So strange. Food was good. The rice, pilaf had good broth flavour. But not like dull rice, it's simple pilaf. Hamus was very very creamy.

Return or not return?…read more Return, but.... Had combo plate, chicken bowl, schwarma pide. Liked both the meat and chicken, but rest of family thought the chicken was too dry. Other issue with chicken is it had skin and chunks of fat that detracted from the experience. Disliked the fact they charged to have sauce on the side vs in the food. Not cool. Menu also confusing between a platter and bowl. I was confused and literally a minute later another customer came in and asked the same question I did. What's the difference? Garlic sauce a little runny, but good. Liked their hot sauce. It's very vinegar-y and hot all at once. Pricing a bit on high side, but then again it's Vancouver.
