Babylon (CLOSED)

Babylon relocated from Bucktown to Uptown in 2014, but the menu offers the same line-up of Middle Eastern standards. There's a fresh cucumber and tomato Jerusalem salad, a hearty bowl of lentil soup and chicken, beef and lamb shawarma, which comes either wrapped up in a pita or on a plate with rice and warm pita. Whatever you order, ask for a side of housemade hot sauce, which adds a little heat and great peppery flavor to each dish.
