As far as the service and ambiance, it is true what others are saying. The place is dark and dank. I was greeted by a young man who was more interested in anything but service to guests coming into the restaurant. There was not one person in the restaurant at about 12:15 pm on a weekday. They opened at noon. The fellow wanted me to sit near the cold door because there were other tables that needed cleaning from the night before that had crumpled napkins on them. I waited for him to clean a table for me while he complained that they just opened and I should sit where he wants me to sit. I sat down on the booth seat and it lifted on one side. I knew what I wanted before I went inside. I sat and waited. The server would not come over and take my order. He kept walking to the kitchen and hanging around at the cashier station and checking his phone. I waited for 10 minutes before I decided to leave. I figured it would be best for me to leave rather than be aggravated throughout the whole experience. Upon leaving the server made me feel as though I was putting them out since they just opened and I should be more patient. Most restaurants have their kitchen and wait staff up and running an hour before opening. If I had known the Kabob Corner was right down the street, I would have went there. They have great reviews.

I tend to go here with family when we visit Charlottesville and have other things to do in town…read more(catch a UVA game, movie, etc.). Even when they were very busy, the wait for a seat is rather short. It's mainly four-top seats but they can push together tables as needed. There's music always playing and not a lot of padding to soften noise so I'd call the location "average" loud. Downtown Charlottesville doesn't really do free parking. You can park at the next corner in open parking to the left or paid parking to the right. But we're talking $2 or so, not a bank-breaking experience and with lots of shopping across the street it's worth staking out a spot and then walking the area. What I like: The food is tasty. The appetizers are solid. There's a large enough menu that you can always try something new. And the portions are ample enough to share. What I'm not so fond of: The waitstaff spend a lot of time at the front scrolling on their phones. They aren't too keen on refilling your drinks either. I say this as someone who has eaten here about a dozen times. Also, I don't normally mind cameras, but there are enough blinking lights on cameras to make it feel more like a jewelry store than a restaurant. That said, if you are not in a hurry, want some good food in solid portions, and plan to do some shopping or window shopping downtown, this has been my go-to place for years.

You can easily eat here for less than $20, which all things considered is worth it. Basically, the chipotle style experience but with a homemade and quality ingredient components. I especially liked the mashed lentils, cucumber salad, roasted sweet potato and of course the chicken schwarma. Also the atmosphere is pretty hipster/industrial and contributed to the experience. The only negative I have is that the falafel was a little dry and chewy, but to be fair I got the last ones before they cooked a new batch. Overall, I will return for lunch again next time I visit Charlottesville.

It was pretty good, it had a slightly spiced flavor to it but I wasn't sure what the spice was. We ordered the chili milli gobhi, samosa, butter chicken, and garlic naan. I liked the chili milli gobhi a lot. I wasn't expecting it to be fried, but I enjoyed it, and it was covered in some sort of chili sauce. The samosa was pretty good, I liked the sauces it came with. The butter chicken was just fine, I feel like I have had better, but it was very saucy which I liked. The naan was pretty good. I liked our server, she was nice and seemed to know the menu. The restaurant was nice inside and had a good ambiance.

From the outside it looks like a strip mall restaurant. So I was not expecting much. I didn't see a lot of people going in alone many people in the window, so I thought I was going to be the only guest at 11:30. Man, I was so wrong. I walked in and found that there was an entire dining room inside, and it was pretty busy for a lunch crowd. The waitress was nice and had good energy. She gave me a table and a menu. The choices were pretty standard. I went with the chicken 65 and the Korma. She asked me for a spice level and I told her to light me up. The lunch menu came with a salad or soup choice and I opted for the salad. It was very good.... Fresh and light. The food arrived and it was great. The appetizer was cooked fresh and tasty. The main course came with naan and a side dish. It was spicy as hell. And it was good. Very very good. I would recommend it if you are looking for Indian in Charlottesville.

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.

Preparation was not speedy and I waited for fifteen minutes or so even having ordered in advance, but I don't mind doing that for quality food. A North Indian menu yielded a plethora of interesting options, and I struggled to narrow it down to one lentil dish, one green vegetable, and some other options. A stuffed potato curry was among the harder to find ones. The cuisine was indulgent, but the spice levels hit and I poured off a little extra oil and was satisfied for several meals.
