Basically I got a spoonful of hummus, some plain white rice, sprinkling of ice berg lettuce, 3 sad slices of tomato, onion, pickles, 1.5 potato pieces and 3 microwaved falafels for $11.50.

Apologies for the length but wanted to articulate the experience and give a full review/explanation…read morefor my 1 star. Stopped in here as we were looking for place to grab a coffee and bite to eat before my mom's doctor appointment nearby (she lives 2 hours out of city so we had a little over an hour until her appointment) and will likely never return. We arrived around 12:30 pm only to be informed that the kitchen did not open until 2 pm but we could get some appetizers (except we were never given a menu for appetizers, only beverages and there was a dessert menu on the table next to us, so we didn't order food). Our group of four ordered 3 coffees and one pop. Coffees were $3.99+tax each for just a small cup of regular coffee (nothing fancy like lattes or the $6.99 coffee that was also on the menu). For comparison I paid $2.19 for a coffee twice the size at Tim Hortons that morning. I also asked for a glass of water (which I had to remind waitress about when she brought our drinks) and she brought out water for each of us which was very warm and the glasses were not particularly clean. The decor of the place was quite nice and we all liked the look and feel but the bathroom sink tap was broken making it difficult to wash hands after using the washroom. The waitress was very polite and friendly though not very attentive or even accessible as she seemed to be in the back for quite some time so when we wanted a refill on coffee we had to wait for her to appear behind the bar and then had to go up to ask her. I ordered 1 refill on my coffee and my mom & her friend ended up having 2 refills each (so 2 cups for me and 3 cups of coffee each for them so less than a whole pot of coffee which costs pennies to make). We were shocked when we were paying the bill which totalled $45 (for a couple of small cups of coffee and 1 pop!). Apparently $3.99 gets you one small cup of coffee and if you want more its another full charge for each cup. We were never told this (nor was it indicated in the menu). To be clear it was NOT busy (there was only 1 other customer in the entire place so it was not a surcharge for only ordering coffee during busy time which I would have understood) and it was clear we had never been there before (we had to ask where bathroom was, and about parking and my mom inquired about hookah as the other customer was puffing away on one etc.).. I used to waitress before and since it is not standard practice to charge full price for each cup of coffee I would have mentioned it to a customer so they were aware. We had no idea until it came time to pay. 1. If your kitchen isn't open until 2pm that should be indicated in your ads/listings (they only said they opened at 10am I believe when we searched for place nearby). 2. If you are going to charge that kind of price for a very small cup of basic coffee I shouldn't have to wait for the staff to appear and then have to get up and come to you to ask for it (and it should be indicated that refills are full charge rather than surprising the person with an exorbitant bill at the end). 3. For those kinds of prices I'd expect a fully functioning place, not dealing with a broken down tap barely attached to the bathroom sink as well as what appeared to be a leaking toilet (very obvious crusty chemical looking stain around the toilet in the stall beside me). Over all it was the most expensive and most disappointing "going for a coffee" experience any of us had ever had. I hate to say it be we probably should have just gone and grabbed some coffees from the gas station down the street.

They also use the dreadful thin wood knives and forks. The fork would not even pierce a pepper. I had to shovel the salad into my mouth. I deliberately did not bring this up until after I paid so they would not accuse of wanting a free meal, nor did I after I paid. What I got was no response at all when I told them that the beef in the kebab was so overcooked that it was also impossible to chew. Although I did not tell them this, it was dry like beef flavoured sawdust held together with glue. The food was slopped into the container when it was brought to my table. They were not the least bit interested in what I had to say. Talk about rude. AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT LIKE THE PLAGUE. DREADFUL MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD.

Too bad I don't live in Calgary anymore, but I will definitely miss their milkshake all the way!!! Definitely check this place out for some quality soul food.

Super friendly and attentive. She came around multiple times to see if we needed anything. She seemed to generally care that we came in on this day. When you have a server like that it not only makes the meal that much better but it set up the rest of the day to be great. So thank you!

Eau Claire market was conveniently across the street from my hotel, so I made a dash over here as soon as I checked-in, to be able to fill my hungry belly. When places have a "veggie" plate (or some variant), it makes it simple for me to decide. What a great way to try a variety of things without having to do the [sometimes laborious] task of narrowing down the options myself. The veggie plate was quite good--you get a choice of two types of rice, and falafel or eggplant. I couldn't chose, and was able to get half and half of both options! (Though I did get a bit of a funny look for this indecisiveness.) Potatoes, two salads (one cucumber, one tabouleh), and two "dips" (hummous & tzatziki) also come with it. It was filling and delicious. The eggplant was a little greasier than I expected, and the whole dish was probably not quite as healthy as I originally was anticipating, but that's quite okay. (Check out the picture I uploaded if you want to see what the veggie plate looks like.) There was a constant line of customers, it moves fast, but you may have a bit of a wait depending on what you order. It looks like all the food is ready and you should be able to go after they spoon it onto a plate for you, but a few items needed to be heated (or have some other work done), which did take a couple extra minutes of waiting around. The guys behind the counter were very nice. I would come back on a future visit to Calgary!

I wasn't sure how the donair plate was different than the donair wrap, except that it came with some sides to make it a meal rather than just the donair. As it turns out, there was no wrap involved.

While this wasn't quite the same as having my lamb all wrapped up, it was still quite tasty... and Babylon sure didn't skimp on the rest of the food. All in all, a satisfying and quick lunch in Eau Claire Market!
