Babylon Kebab House in Manchester

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.

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

Very nice food and lovely staff aswell

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"

Delicious and good-value food, fast service too.

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

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.

The best chicken wings in town, no questions asked! Great prices, great location and consistently good service!

Great place. The bbq chicken pizza is heavenly and their spicy chicken burger with chips is equally amazing. The best place in Manchester.

Babylon, lo consideraría el dios de todos los puntos de partida. No se han acercado. La pizza aquí es honestamente increíble, no importa si estás borracho o sobrio si quieres una pizza sabrosa a buen precio, Babylon es la única. Te amo bebe (lon)

I have been going to Babylon for many years and always get a consistent good service and excellent value for money, even when all the drunks are there!

After a night out nowhere compares to Babylon. You can expect: good food including a wide selection of condiments, friendly, funny staff and finally the prices are reasonable. Babylon has been consistently the best takeaway for years.

Entramos para un almuerzo rápido con la familia y probado su pizza, alitas de pollo y shawarma. por 13 libras que todos habíamos comido lo suficiente para una buena relación calidad-precio. Como para el gusto, aunque no diría que es la mejor, pero no estaba mal. El pollo tikka piezas en mi pizza y el shawarma sabía exactamente el mismo. Alas de Pollo era fresco y suculento y sabía muy bien

Always there when you need a late night greasy guilty pleasure, staff are excellent - even when I can't stand up. Food comes very quickly served with some top quality banter. Never disappoints. Manchester's finest.

A great place to eat, particularly after a night on the sesh. The food is really cheap and very tasty for being so! I'd heavily recommend the burgers or fried chicken 👌

Babylon es un placer culpable para mí. Yo lo mejor de mi para cocinar mi propia comida en casa cuando sea posible, pero hay veces que tengo pensamientos perversos. Wicked pensamientos sobre Babilonia.

Ended up here after my favourite place Abdul's has now apparently gone 😭had a chicken kebab more salad than anything else a few bits of small cut up chicken and twice I spat it out as it had gristle look somewhere else next time around...

Ahora, Babylon es apropiado kebab house regular Muchas noches han concluido dentro de estas cuatro paredes, dándose en patatas fritas, queso y buenos momentos. Qué ambiente y calidad consistente comer. Pero después de tener patatas fritas y el raro anillo de cebolla repetidamente, las cosas empiezan a convertirse en habituales.

BABYLON - OXFORD ROAD Swift y un servicio amable, patatas fritas con queso y salsa (salsa de curry) £2. 40. Ganga.

I visited Babylon during my uni break and I have to say the service was very poor. They took our order quickly which I thought was great however after the order was taken they never told me to wait for my food or when it was coming. Instead they left me waiting 15 minutes for just a chicken burger!

Honestly, try the chicken shawarma, best one I've ever tasted! Love it. The staff are really friendly in here too.Wish you did delivery!

Always an option near to the uni whether the weather is cold, hot or raining. Visited many times and love their spicy wings and chips. The quality is usually kept well, however, there are also times when the wings are too burnt or not fully marinated. Chips are usually crispy, but it may vary too sometimes. Still a great option to have throughout the day.

Great food at great prices. A lot of seating (ground floor and first floor). The staff is friendly and the place is clean and tidy. The pizzas and chicken spicy burgers are very tasty. I'm a repeat customer.

Good prices and have been here a long time. Ordered a pizza which wasn't bad in fairness. I feel the competition locally is better however despite costing a little more.

Walked past here 2 days in a row and both nights were busy so decided to give it a try...The people were friendly and polite, and there were 3 floors for dining so more than enough space - I ordered a chicken strip mealI thought the chicken was too try and not fresh but it was just £3.50 so I guess you get what you pay for.... And maybe I didnt order the best thing...

Had a very delicious piping hot vegetable wrap with cheese at Babylon today at lunchtime. This was just right for a chilly Sunday and I would certainly return when next in Manchester. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the prices very reasonable. Thank you Babylon!

Best food place to have a proper meal when you feel hungry. I eat there weekly and all i can say is thanks ! Friendly staff ready to help you out. Decent eating space with comfortable seats.Last visited today, 28.01.2015. Large variety of food ! Worth every single penny.

A fast-food restaurant opposite University of Manchester serving great Fish & Chips (only GBP3) as well as pizzas & burgers at economical prices. Place frequented by students. Fast service from friendly staffs. Provides delivery service. Place to visit for good tasty food when on a budget.

Good food, cheap food, friendly service. Good place to hang out with friends, open time is late enough for students to grab a late meal!

Great take-away food. I often visit when I am in Manchester, the service is fast as you expect from a 'fast-food' place as well as being cheap so it doesn't make too much of a dent in your pocket and also most importantly still tasty enough.
