Babylon Brisbane

My wife, daughter and I ended up going to Babylon Restaurant by accident under circumstances I won't bore you with. I had been to the gardens 18 months ago, but not the Restaurant. The food was good in the garden, it's delicious in the Restaurant. For entrees, house made bread wither Avatar spiced butter, Hummus, macadam dukkah and olive oil. Excellent. For mains, wood fired Angus beef, with chilli butter and pickled radish, Manti slow cooked lamb dumplings, with yoghurt, mint and chilli butter and Turkish coffee cured wood roasted duck, leeks, pomegranate and fesenjan sauce with Spiced Cauliflower for a side dish. All mains were excellent, the duck was the best I have eaten anywhere. Washed down with a glass of Gabbiano Pinot Grigio, little to complain about. The hero dish was dessert, chocolate tahini with sesame sponge, sliced dates and Turkish coffee and chocolate sauce. Imagine chocolate mousse with tiramisu but better. A lot better. Absolutely divine! The Turkish delight was also really good. Great food, great view of the Story Bridge and reasonably priced considering the quality of the meals.

The food is solid—scallops, chicken, swordfish, and cucumber salad all deliver. Unfortunately, the tiny table and awkward seating made things uncomfortable, and the service felt like a relay race, perhaps rushed. It’s pricey and a bit of a squeeze, but your taste buds will definitely enjoy the ride even if your wallet doesn’t .

The whole experience was spectacular! We decided to eat here last minute and it exceeded all expectations. As soon as my knife dove into the lamb I knew it was going to be great. The sauces and the meat were all paired so nicely and did so well together. Thank you.

First time at Babylon and organised for our team lunch, have to say that everyone was impressed with the service and most of all the quality of the food which was amazing! We had the corporate lunch menu and the Pan-Fried Haloumi with honey so divine. The Apricot & Cauliflower Tabbouleh everyone loved it and the main, wood fired angus beef simply mouth-watering. We enjoyed our meals with Amaretti Chianti red wine which was a great match. The team all said they would come back for more next time, worth 5 stars or more!

Absolutely fantastic. I was on a solo trip to Brisbane from Auckland and wanted to go out for a nice lunch. This place seem to pop up in a number of reviews and articles so decided to give it a shot. Rosa, who was my server was excellent, with a gorgeous smile and was attentive. I ordered the spiced cauliflower and the slow cooked lamb. It was, without a doubt, the best lamb dish I have ever had. Coming over from New Zealand where we love our lamb, I have high expectations- but this really topped it off. Overall, they were happy to cater for a solo diner, with excellent service, the best food - which was almost heavenly, and although I did not try, an extensive drinks list as well. Top 10 out of 10 and will be back without a doubt.
