First of all, know that Babylon is a market that happens to make delicious food. There are about 4…read moresmall tables inside and several more outside. As far as a Middle Eastern market it's pretty typical. They make the best of the shelf space by stocking them to the max. If you've never spent time in the Middle East then it may seem cluttered, but this is normal for this type of store. There were 4 of us and we ate inside. The absolute stars of Babylon are the food and the people. The gentlemen working were very helpful with the menu and super attentive to anything we might need. They're from Kurdistan and were all very very nice. The food was wonderful. We got 2 large sample platters, large hummus, and a small tabbouli salad. One of the gentlemen heard me telling my friends how they make the Saj bread, within minutes he brought out a large fresh Saj for them to try. It was hot and amazing. All the meat on the platter had great flavor. The rice was delicious, flavorful, and extremely plentiful. The hummus was good. The tabbouli was very fresh with a nice citrus flavor. The platter came with falafel, Saj, sauces, small cups of lentil soup, plates of pickled veggies (2 types of cabbage, jalapeños), along with olives, onion, cucumbers, and lettuce. The fresh baklava was absolutely amazing. To cut the sweetness they gave us some delicious black tea to finish the meal. We all loved Babylon and will be going back whenever we're in the area.

Plus, the owner is always willing to let you try something new - a sample at little or no cost. All are welcome at this store and this is a great corner of Arabic & Middle Eastern culture in The Friendly City. Doc Chapman

Food & non-food items from many Middle Eastern & Central European countries. Prices are okay but lean towards more-than-affordable.

What I sought was distinctive flatbreads and some accoutrements for my foul medames, which they provided. It wasn't a place that had a lot of fresh food items, but the freezer was well stocked and it had canned goods that wouldn't be the easiest to find elsewhere. The selection was not what you'd find in a big city, but it's a good resource for this area.

Not too long ago, I went to Gainesville Halal Market after hearing it was new under management and that the whole place got a facelift. I went and I mean, WOW. The place is SO organized and that's unheard of for a foreign market because of the amount of spices and they carry it allllllll from all over the country. The meat is fresh and the place is clean and always organized. Glad my parents live here so I can always make a quick stop to pick up the basics for the house. Highly recommend this little hidden gem in gainesville.
