Babylon Kebab House in Manchester

when i go to order they not happy and speak like argument they speak owne language and I order wings not make nicely

Took my order and then ignored me for 20min, start closing down at 5am in the morning then asked me brother whts your order, we are close , i have been standing infront for 20min but they dont bother, waste of time bcoz they had to make my pizza ready in 5min wasnt a proper pizza at all

absolute life changing experience, should be on the top of everyone’s bucket list, will be taking my future grandchildren here before i die

chicken shawarma with rice - unbelievable. I'll never get over it.. Big enough for 2. Astounding.

Ordered the Chicken Shawarma on Naan. Though they overload it with salad toppings like onion, cabbage n all to make it big, but taste wise, shawarma was cold. Chicken quantity is less, texture is dry, found a small bone as well and the naan is chewy / hard. Not worth the price. Chaotic ambience. Not recommended

- Cheap and cheerful. - Basic tasty food. - Quick meal after a night out after a few drinks.

Bought chicken shawarma. Cheap but tasted really nice. Service was friendly. Will definitely be going again

I ordered lamp rice and take away, it costs me 8 pounds. And they let me pack it by myself, the service and cleanliness is sooooo bad, do not come to this restaurant, don’t worth it and you’ll feel bad

Great food, cheap and arrived really quickly. Got the doner fatayer, it was perfect. £5 price, 5 minutes waiting. 10/10

I have visited many of the eateries on Oxford road in the years I have been studying in the area; this is one of very few that I have returned to. The food is always of high quality, very tasty, cooked to perfection, plenty of options, and generous portions. The staff are polite and organised. They deal with busy times well and are accommodating of people who don’t speak English as their first language. The place is always clean and there is lots of seating available (although it does get full) Highly recommend

The spicy sauce is too salty for me.

The first time we order from him, a delicious and clean restaurant

The Food was great at great price I have visited it many times with friends

The shop next to Babylon is too busy but food in Babylon is more tasty, they have beef shawarma

sumon💔💔💔💔 very bad experience in my opinion i won’t recommend to eat from here 👍

Amazing food at good prices. Babylon has been well known for years as the go to place for kebabs and they're consistently good and quick to get your food ready. For a chicken shwarma wrap and chips, it's nearly half the price of most lunch time places in Manchester.

The crispy spicy chicken is the best. When I was studying there we went at night and more than 10 years later I wanted to return.

The shawarma was incredible. Huge portions with the right amount of crispness in the chicken. They have hummus and chilli potatoes which you can add to your shawarma. Also loved the Rio cold drink. Great shawarma experience, the value for money is incredible at £7 for a chicken shawarma box.

Ordered wings and they literally look so unappealing, tiny wings that can't have possibly even have come from a baby chicken. They used to have great wings so massively disappointed. Got a shawarma wrap and the wrap isn't even freshly made, wrap was dry even with sauce. Overall wouldn't eat here again. Big disappointment.

It was my first time in the babylon I really liked it I can best shawrma Ive ever had in Manchester 👍thanks guys

Fookin ra pizza man. Ra bread, meat and even the fookin chow. Wow may be eating here again. Gonna boff allowa the shop man. Fook me

It is one of the worst food places, and the chicken is dry and has no taste.

Always in a rush there won't be a single minute when they are not busy. One of my favourite restaurants, and I recommend this to all also, great place to hangout and make friends 😜😀

THE WORST KEBAB I EVER SEEN, AVOID !! The meat was cold.

I had a bad experience. The sharwama doesn't taste nice. I told them in my order not to add Onions but they did

Love the portions and the price but the foods just a tiny bit too oily

Very rude staff. Came with family. attitude is so bad. We left straight away

This is peak scrannage for uni students, memories made, food good peak experience

I always go for their chicken shawarma or chicken wraps they never disappoint and the portions are huge one would definitely fill you up! The staff members are always welcoming & they open til late! One of my few to-go places.

Great food, awesome value. Everything I have had there has been really tasty. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

My recent dining experience here led to what I suspect was DISCRIMINATION behavior from the staff. They not only imitated my accent but also mimicked my native language in an unfriendly tone. When I pointed out that their actions were OFFENSIVE to me, instead of apologizing, a staff member responded by asking me, “Where are you from?” I found this behavior to be incredibly RUDE and UNPLEASANT. I hope the management takes this issue seriously and implements measures to improve their service attitude, ensuring that all customers are treated with respect and kindness.

I find here friendly and food is very good here as well

Rude unfriendly staff Food is great.

Very nice food and lovely staff aswell

They took money from my account for chips then refused to serve me saying card declined when the money has come out of my account. If I was drunk they would have made me pay twice. Check your bank guys there’s a guy ripping people off here

Fantastic food. You will not be disappointed.

Generous portions with their rice box

Not recommended at all!! Ordered vegetarian pizza and it had chicken chunks in it, upon complaining about it the staff was extremely rude and unapologetic and even asked us to throw it in the bin if we don’t want to eat it instead of accepting their mistake. We understand not being able to refund or make a new order but being rude when you’re at fault is unacceptable!

Very poor. Don’t eat anything from here.

I have ORDERED vegetarian pizza but they have MIXED CHICKEN to my pizza and when I asked to change my order the MANAGER WAS SO RUDE. And didn't even paid my money back. "Not recommended to anyone" as they don't respect/value any individuals beliefs.

Ordered vegetarian pizza and it had chicken in it. Told the staff about it and they were soo rude about it and neither did they change the pizza nor did they refund the money and didn’t even feel sorry or this .

Staff members were so RUDE. They were TALKING BAD about us in there own language and laughing. Cleanliness is ZERO. Two times they have mixed BEEF/CHICKEN to my food, as I don't even eat non-veg products. They don't RESPECT anyone's beliefs. "NOT RECOMMENDED"

This was a great dinner after the cinema - the falafel and chips was amazing and the lamb shwarma and the salad selection is great. Amazing prices and good quality food

Delicious and good-value food, fast service too.

Affordable price with tasty kebab

Avoid the donner tastes absolutely disgusting and smells. Was worried I’d be ill after… won’t ever go back…

Good venue nice chaps behind the counter. I had the shawarma and chips with salad and houmous was bloody lovely and great at £7.

Please don’t buy the fried chicken from this place. What I had made me sick two hours after eating. The chicken smelled sour and fishy. It was disgusting and I don’t recommend this place. It was also expensive. £4 for 2 pieces of chicken. Avoid

Fast food that’s absolutely gorgeous. The best kebab I have ever ordered.

The food was very bad and smelly. Sauces were very rusty and the tables were not clean (picture uploaded). The staff were very rude and were laughing in different language as we were standing to choose our order and we felt offended.

Below average Shawarma, could be better

Great falafel Superb value food

The food is terrible, I couldn’t finish it. and it’s actually 50p more expensive than their neighbors.

Absolutely disgusting food. Got donner, it was disgusting and watery. Tasted worse than frozen food

Great and cheap turkeish food Maybe busy during uni times though

cheap & delicious. Affordable for students

Mixed shawarma with chips was really good. Portion was big, salad was fresh and the price is also good. Excellent service from staff. They were friendly and quick even though there were lot of people in the queue and busy. Definitely recommend

Good mixed shawarma on rice. Another good place if you are looking for a filling affordable lunch. Great chicken shawarma meat.

Good foodd. Good & quick service.

Amazing food, really big portions but at a really cheap price!!! Would definitely go there again!!

Great food, very tasty. Definitely great prices on Over 50 different Meals to choose from. Rice with Mixed Chicken and Lamb with salad is defo one to try. If u tried it based on my view. Give me a like yh... stay safe.

The chicken shawarma on chips was 🔥 Halal option, cheap, big portion - what more could you ask?

Pizza was fully loaded. Chicken chunks were huge and moist. Nothing stingy here and very satisfying. A nice clean environment to eat in.

Iv been in here twice spent £26 wen I spent £5 I'm treated like a dog last time I'll ever go back disgusting how they treat people on what you spend...Not happy

I have only one thing to say about their 1 iconic dish which is : chicken shawarma with rice (in a big bowl) ... It's HALAL and so Delicious and yummmlicious.. it's reasonably priced and enough for a person with a big appetite or for 2 people with a medium appetite. ❤️ it.

Near mmu University. Affordable price . Good staff friendly. Food is good I go there once a week.

beaucoup de choix. assiette bien remplie pour un prix bas. Le personnel reste très pro. la salle est très spacieuse. on peut manger tranquillement avec une musique douce. J'ai prix l'assiette mix à 7 ponds, je n'arrive pas à la finir. mais je continue à manger tellement le plat est délicieux 🤪🤪

Used to go along time ago, one of the local customers, I think the hot wing flavour or the way it is has changed since 2019

Chicken shawarma always tastes fresh with a great selection of salad. Very reasonably priced aswell. £5 for a shawarma and chips. Staff are always friendly and quick also. Everything you want from a good kebab shop!

Good food that is served hot and very reasonable in budget

Excellent street-side shawarma kebab bar serving a good falafel wrap at lunchtime for £4

First time and tried their fried chicken and chips. It was decent, good portion with a reasonable price.

Had chicken shawarma would not recommend it

During our visit to Manchester, we found ourselves on a street not far from the city center in hopes of finding food. It was late in the evening, so the chances of finding open restaurants were slim, but we stumbled upon a place called Babylon where we satisfied our hunger with kebabs. The establishment itself was rather dingy, not catering to refined tastes. In other words, it was a dirty dive. We ordered two chicken doner , one with chips and the other with samoon. We were curious about the meaning of samoon, so we asked the person at the counter. He began a conversation (in Arabic/Turkish) with his colleague next to him (who bore a striking resemblance to the French coach Galtier). But who knows what those two were conspiring about?! Finally, at the end of their conversation, we received the definitive answer: Samoon was a type of bread. But did they really need to be so secretive for such a simple answer? The kebab was excellent, priced reasonably, and came in generous portions.

Nice food options and cheap indeed. Try spicy chicken spicy lamb pizza

Amazing taste and good prices, recommend!!!

Best Tenders on planet earth, so so succulent

Used to go here back in the days 10 /15 years ago.. Pizzas used to be crammed with toppings.. Now hardly anything on it.. So spread out and price double than what they were

They have amazing lamb shawarma on rice

Genuinely best chicken shawarma I've ever had. Saved me from a hangover this morning! Great portion size, nice salads, great price.

The taste of food I ordered was average and chicken wings were spoiled

Babylon, Excellent place to eat. Excellent staff. Excellent Managment here, Love 💘 to eat at this place,

Quite expensive for small portions that upon opening weren't even what was ordered.

Nice takeaway place. Good price, good food. Better quality than the atmosphere might make one believe.

Chicken Shawarma and Chips box was nice and flavourful. The Meat Feast Pizza made me sick for days, and it tasted quite bad.

The food was okay but it does seem to be aimed squarely a students which is fine. I mean it's in the student area but it's not that nice if you visit in the museum pop in for something to eat

Was order fried chickens and been waiting for 45 minutes too long, but when I eat bad smelly and full of grease too much oil!! Don't like it never again!! 👎🏼

Me, My father and brother went there for our first time and the salad was so fresh and food tasted brilliant. Its now my go to place in town

Got a combo fried chicken meal. The spicy wings were burnt. The rest of the chicken was fine, the fries were ok. Expected better. Staff were going through the motions. One customer attempt to put chilli sauce on his food and the top came off. It ruined his food and the staff were not interested.

So grateful for the staff who found my computer I had left in the store and kept it behind the counter for me to keep it safe! Could not be more thankful! Also really good and cheap food, perfect after a night out!

Called in last week. I staff here have an attitude and the food was rough. My dish was cold in the middle. The floor and counter area was also dirty.

Brilliant little takeaway is babylon, mixed kebab on chips is beautiful and so is the supreme chicken burger- my favourite in manchester!

Honestly might be the best fried chicken in the area - not stale like some other options. Good kebab options. Not a fan of the burgers.

Al pasear por la ciudad y ver muchos lugares y como tiene un horario muy amplio, puedes comer a cualquier hora del día. Tienes lo típico de este tipo de sitio, burger,pizzas, pollo frito, etc. Las raciones son decentes y a un precio asequible rondas entre las 4 y 7£ con patatas fritas y bebida. Está en una de las calles vertebral de la ciudad y cerca de la facultad y museo de Manchester. Si pasas por este sitio se puede comer.

Babylon is everything that a typical takeaway in the North of England tends to be. The food is decent, reasonably priced and with a huge range to choose from, Babylon can cater to any sort of cuisine you fancy whether that’s a kebab, fish and chips, pizza or so on. The staff are always friendly blokes and you do feel a real sense of camaraderie in the place. It’s easy to see why the university students in the area tend to build up an affinity to the place. The only minor problem with Babylon, if being super critical, is the lighting which can make it feel slightly like a hospital waiting room but that’s about it. In short, Babylon is a good place for a quick, cheap bite to eat and is perfect for anyone who is looking for some food after a day or night on the booze. Nice one Babylon, you’ve been inspected🧐

I work near here and came across it looking for something cheap to eat that wasn't a meal deal. I am really fussy when it comes to chicken and wasn't expecting much but the quality of the chicken here is fantastic, especially considering the price. No water added or frozen chicken here, it's top quality. £4 for 4 chicken strips and chips, yes please. Also the service is SO quick! You never have to wait for your food and the staff are nice too. Plenty of seating available as there are 2 floors of tables. Also Halal if that's your thing.

Good customer service, friendly staffs, good GOOD food, good price, finally offers card payment and theres no certain spending required to pay by card anymore. What else could you ask for? Would recommend the spicy wings!

Uninterested / borderline rude staff - dirty (chips / chicken bones on the floor and unclean table tops despite it being near empty). Based on other reviews set up for late night drunk students- which I’m sure it excels at.

I visited here the other night and my card payment didn’t go through, so they told me to do it again and I asked if I’d been charged and they said no, however I’ve checked my bank and I’ve been charged twice! What a scam!!!

I am a student nearby, Babylon is my go-to fast food joint in the entire area. The portions are above average (usually I take some leftovers to go), food tastes great. Recently they’ve done a few upgrades to the place (new tables, cleaner look). Price/quality/portion is great. In other words, a good unhealthy fast food place.
