Fantastic! Ambiance: light and airy indoor seating with the most beautiful mosiac lighting to set the mood. The outside garden is the perfect escape from the south beach chaos; warm and inviting. They have evil eyes hanging from the trees that add character and give it that something extra aside from being just an outdoor seating area. It's all in the small details. Wheather you be inside or out you're comfortable and feel invited. Service: Everyone was extremely welcoming & attentive. Nothing but helpful & professional. Food: Authentic! I was in Turkey this past summer and had the privilege of having a home cooked meal and I can say Babylon is the most authetic Miami has to offer. I ordered the Beyti - so good! Bar: stocked & serving Raki! read more

Babylon was amazing the food and drinks were delicious. Definitely recommend it. Our waitress Ozge was super knowledgeable and very friendly. read more

Food was delicious but very poor service there was confusion in the kitchen about who is bringing out things and it was not good service no cleanup no offer of dessert read more

Came by for lunch while I was waiting for my scooter to get fixed. I had been meaning to swing by here, and the timing worked out. The place is very nice, with a wonderful outdoor patio. There wasn't anyone here during lunch (but it filled in later). The service was good for the most part, but I had to ask for things multiple times. I ordered the zucchini pancakes which were okay, the yogurt sauce needed some work. The Beyti was my main course. Overall the Beyti wasn't that great, the meat nor the sauce was super flavorful. It had a good amount of heat to it which was good. The prices here were quite high, lunch for 1 with a bottle of sparkling water was over $30. read more

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Ocean Ave for a bit, then Babylon is the place to come. It's a quick 10 minute from 10th Street (where I'm staying). The atmosphere is perfect. I recommend the Pomegranate Moscow Mule to start. The food was out of this world. I had the Tavuk Sis which is Chicken Shish. Sasha our waiter was awesome! Very attentive and super friendly. I think you'll be pleased! read more

Babylon - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The place is nice but the design and the decoration remind me more of a Greek ambience over the Turkish . Service was just good, not the kind of service we used to in this type a restaurant. Kudos for our Serbian runner and the manager who did our stance more pleasured. Food was good but nothing to die for. Price is affordable, It is not expensive but maybe u pay more than u get. The best moment of the night was the bday celebration performance. Most of the good reviews of this restaurant are for lunch so maybe stick with a lunch time in this restaurant. Definitely this restaurant is good, but need a wow factor to make it a memorable occasion, a place to comeback or recommend to other. So, 3 starts for it. read more

Overall very good food. We went on Saturday and it was mostly empty since we arrive late when they were almost closing. The server that sat us down was clocking out and forgot about us, so we had to call another server. She was great, very pleasant to talk to and attentive. The food was really good I order the Lamb Shish and my friend the Chicken Kabob, both were very good. We also ordered a Passion Fruit drink and it was overly strong. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends. read more

The food, ambiance and service is outstanding. I highly recommend this authentic Turkish restaurant to anyone visiting south beach. I had the ezme and hummus as a starter and the chicken shish as an entree. I love the food, and the great ambience!!! This is a must while visiting south beach! read more

I think you're going to like this place, and if you don't, you probably have something against Turkey. Of course I'm referring to the country, not the bird, as I typically have little interest in turkey unless it's late November. From the moment you walk in, expect to be treated with great service. We ordered two old fashion drinks at the bar downstairs and prior to being seated our bartender put the drinks on a silver platter so that we didn't have to balance them going up the stairs. It was unnecessary, but I guess this is what you get when you visit restaurants that carry 4 dollar signs on Yelp. Before I get into the food, the decor in this place is fantastic. I could t capture a good image that would do it justice but if you like the mid century look, this place is for you. The food was unique and prepared with great artistry. We tried the Miami Spice menu so we got a very nice selection across the board. I won't get into specifics because literally everything was good, and whatever I didn't order I will order on the next visit. I will give a little shout out to the lamb chops, If those are still around when you visit, don't leave without trying them. Go! read more

A cozy garden in the middle of South Beach, the sun is up, but you can find shelter in the shade of the trees. Along with the bird singing Turkish music is on the play. You get greeted by your server and get recommendations on the menu. The food comes out in a timely manner. The presentation is superb. When you make your first bite, you realize that this place is highly addictive. And what can be better than finishing your meal with a cup of Turkish tea? Let me know if you have a better idea... All I have left is to compliment excellent service provided by ILKER read more

I'm not sure where the 4.5 stars came from but it's definitely not deserved. I have been to LOTS of mediterranean restaurants and this one is very average. The falafel wasn't fresh. It came from a frozen pack and was freezer burnt with some bites denser and colder than others. The humus had a strong after taste of preservatives and came from a can. The meat platter was pretty well executed and had a nice selection of meats. I will say that it was very expensive, the equivalent of two mains food-wise but for the prices of three. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service attentive. Not a bad experience but the food quality doesn't justify going back read more

Amazing Food, Great staff our waitress Ozzi was super helpful as it was my first time at the place with my family. She recommended delicious plates to us which we all enjoyed. Totally recommend this place to eat! You won't be disappointed. read more

Not worth the money!!! I went there for lunch on a Tuesday, and I have to say I will not return back to this restaurant. I rather go to a Greek restaurant to enjoy good Mediterranean cuisine. I ordered the lamb shish kebab, I was 100% convinced it was not lamb, the meat was dry, no seasoning, and cold. Chewing was very challenging, the rice they serve as a garnish was cold,and no flavor. The onion, which is mixed with parsley,and seasoning was not fresh it must been siting in the container prepped ahead. I have to say the food quality is very poor, and no professional execution on the food. They have been buying the cheapest lowest quality of meat they can get. They should be ashamed, what they been charging, it is very disappointing, and sad.The service will not over come the bad food. You will get much better food, and quality for less money at rice house kebab. I bet who ever is reading this review will not care about the feedback I been posting on yelp. You just lost another paying costumer. Please, shut down this location, and stop embarrassing the Turkish cousin. You guys don't have any know how read more

First and foremost the service was excellent! Our waiter was extremely attentive and the whole staff was extremely welcoming! El served us our wine and was very knowledgeable about wine. We ended up having a great conversation with him. Above all else the food was amazing and always is! The food is always extremely fresh and the quality of the food is top notch. The ambiance is cozy but upscale!! Definitely try them out you won't be disappointed read more

This place was exquisite. Each dish was better than the next. We came for our anniversary and the lamb chops were melt-in-your-mouth perfect. My husband got the shrimp casserole which had a deliciously unique flavor and was in a lovely broth, ideal for leftover bread. The Saksuka was among the best I've ever had, and I'm a huge eggplant fan. The cabbage rolls were quite good, in a tomato and cream sauce, nice presentation too. Our server Alp was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. The restaurant itself has an eloquent dinning room as well as an enclosed patio, large yet somehow intimate at the same time. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you adore this type of cuisine, as I do! read more

Let begin with the food. It was absolutely terrible. The chicken kebab was burnt and extremely dry. The Baklava was weird tasting. My friend ordered the lamb and it came rare. The grilled octopus was terrible and we had to return it. I know we are in the middle of Covid here, but the service was very bad. The waitress barely spoke English and I had to repeat myself multiple times. She didn't understand a word I said and they were extremely rude to my ethnic friends. I will definitely not be going back to this place and please don't waste your money. Good Mediterranean food does not exists in Miami. Especially Miami Beach. Very touristy. read more

We visited this restaurant for lunch. It was pretty empty when we got there, but quite a few people came after us. We found a lovely table outside under the shade. The music was too loud, but they lowered the volume to acceptable levels without any problem. The food was delicious. We tried the Zuchinni panckaes, the Chicken Shish and the fish. All were excellent. The service given to us by the two waitresses from Montenegro and Serbia was fantastic. Friendly and helpful with a smile. We had Turkish coffee with the flan for dessert. All-in-all a wonderful experience. We would strongly recommend this place. read more

Great Seating options, Nicely cooked great portioned dishes, (Octopus, Liver, Sea Bass Recommended) Very good service. i highly recommend. Chef Ali is the best chef in town so its a great late addition to babylon family. read more

When you enter the restaurant, you will see great decor and outdoor seating. The inside is very comfortable as well with the option to sit at the bar. There's a belly dancer who comes out from time to time which is super entertaining. The servers are very kind and food tastes great. Spices and all. I got the eggplant with lamb and beef. My favorite. Can't wait To be back to try lunch. read more

Great experience. Excellent staff. We came late and we were well accommodated. I would highly recommend their specialty Turkish sour cocktail, not on the menu. The menu offers a great variety of delicious food. We will back!!! The outdoor seating is uniquely private for the area. read more

Wonderful! Beautiful sitting inside and out. Service was outstanding and the food matched. Great for family style dining.

Every dish we ordered was fabulous. The food was authentic and had a rich natural flavor. The service was A++. We ordered the sea bass, mixed grill platter, and beyini. Baclava was outstanding. The portions were just the right size for every dish so you don't feel stuffed. Overall great dining experience. read more

We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary here and had a tremendous evening. The food, service and ambience were superb! Excellent!!

This was my first time eating this type of food. I LOVED IT!!! We had the lentil soup, Mediterranean salad, sample platter, tea, and a dessert. I am so happy we found this place during our short trip. Beautiful patio under lights, gorgeous decor, and an authentic feel. I love how healthy the options were. Best lamb chop I've ever had. read more

Great Turkish restsurant. The garden is nice and peaceful. The food is tasty, try beyti. Service was OK but not perfect.We got wrong table's bill read more

Babylon is, hands down, one of the best restaurants on Miami Beach. When you are accustomed to restaurants having bad food and mistreating you, this place is like a breath of fresh air. The majority of the menu is delicious. I am obsessed with the homemade bread they give you. It is so good! I usually have to fight people for my share. I also love the rice. I can't help but devour every single last piece of it. The hummus is also a stand out. When paired with the bread, it's a match made in heaven. I usually get the tavuk sis when I visit. These are grilled piece of chicken breast. It's phenomenal. Babylon has an overall great quality of food and wonderful service. Because of this, I keep finding myself come back for more, read more

I went here for dinner with my family. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the service was incredible. Get the Lamb Shish entree, which was especially good. Our waitress Ozge went above and beyond and was incredibly outgoing and attentive. I've been to a lot of Turkish restaurants, and this is by far my favorite in Miami. Highly recommend, and will be back again soon. read more

The place is fantastic, staff is very friendly and great. The food is just good. Adana serving was only one piece, we typically get two, for $20 it should be two pieces . Coban salad was not seasoned well, it was very fresh and well done, just not as flavorful as were used to. This is a good restaurant, don't expect fantastic insofar as flavors go. read more

I loved this place! Everyone was so nice and the food came very quick on a Saturday afternoon. The prices were fair for a nice spot and great customer service. I hope to come back soon! read more

I love this place, the food and ambience are equally impressive. I had the lamb chops, delicious! My boyfriend had the chicken shish kebab, very juicy and tender. We will definitely be back! read more

Their food is good but they should let the unsuspecting customer know outright that 18% tip is included. Instead they brought only the credit card receipt to be signed which show only the total amount. Is it intentional? read more

Babylon is the go to Turkish spot in Miami. They provide top notch service and hospitality exceptional food and raki. They carry a wide range of cocktails and drinks but to keep it traditional, this place is famously known for carrying "the lions milk" the raki. Their appetizers "mezes" are always fresh and the meats are never burnt always cooked to perfection. At the end of your meal the servers often surprise you with some sort of fruit platters and the best of all they have hookahs, after you finish your meal you can lounge and smoke your hookah to end your meal. The prices are fair and the food is exceptional it is definitely a great spot to hang, we love coming down here their outside patio is great and the service is super attentive. read more

Last visit was disappointing. Bread was stale and reheated. Kebabs were over salted and bland. Eggplant salad was mostly mayonnaise, rather than eggplant. Too bad this place is going downhill. read more

Absolutely the worst service and food. This is definitely not a good representation of Turkish cuisine and culture. I have to add that it's 10 times over priced that what it should be. We came here as a total of 9 people. None of us was satisfied with his/her food and service at this place. read more

This is a nice spot for dinner. What turned me off was when the waiter was trying to up sell us. He told my friends to order a large platter instead of individual meals. And when I ordered and appetizer for my entre he said that's an appetizer these are the entres. He said the falafel appetizer was only 4 tiny pieces on a thin bed of hummus. I still ordered my falafel. However it was 5 decent sized pieces on a thick bed of hummus. It was clear he wanted to up sell us on all fronts. And they include an 18% service charge on the bill. Other than the service it was a great experience and the food was fresh and delicious. However I will not be returning. read more
