   Food was tasty and full of flavour. Service was not great, staff were mostly pleasant but restaurant was very busy and I think understaffed. We waited a long time for our drinks. We also asked for water, which we received after our meals were finished. Good food but don’t go at busy times. We asked 3 times for the bill and in the end we just went up and got it as we had to go to a show.

   The food was good, but the service was exceptionally slow considering the restaurant was not full. We had a private room which was lovely, but we had to chase down a waiter to take our drinks order that took 20 minutes for 5 drinks, then it took ages for them to bring the drinks. Food also took a long time to come out even though we had the banquet booked. Food is good but do not book if you're in a hurry.

   Overall our lunch was good,but not great. We ordered entree shares and a main each however one of the mains came 5 minutes after the entrees which was disappointing,that aside our food was good. A little difficult to order drinks but eventually that was solved. Our service was attentive but lacking expedience. Our coffees when served were fairly cold except for one.,but staff were happy to replace with hotter coffee. The ambience was lively but our booking was during a busy time and just a week out from Christmas. I liked the fact they didn’t rush us out. I had really wanted to attend this restaurant as the photos on their website were great and we were not disappointed with the layout and furnishings.

   Visited Babylon Restaurant with my partner and a friend or ours, and overall, we enjoyed the experience. We had the 'Taste' degustation. Pros were the quality of the food and the friendly service, albeit slightly rushed. Cons were the tasting menu (serving size was small and was not value for money) and ambience (restaurant was uncomfortably cold).

   The staff were excellent and happily changed our booking at the last minute. We enjoyed our meal very much. There was a large party in another part of the restaurant which meant the noise level was very high and people on the next table were yelling to make themselves heard. Not sure how this could be remedied but maybe turning off the house music would have helped.

   The food is absolutely amazing, every mouthful is just busting with flavour. Definitely a venue where you want to return to over and over again. Best shared with friends.

   Food and set menu offering was fantastic. The dining room was far too cold, and could feel the cold air blasting from above, and when asked to turn it down the staff said it's connected to the Westfield and cannot be adjusted. The service had potential to be great, as a few lovely and conscientious staff members, however the initial drinks round arrived long after our first course was served. Then the dessert was not served for an unacceptable amount of time, despite a few checkins from staff. We also dined out at the bar area for a round of drinks, however we experienced the same lag in getting orders sent between QR me&U and our table. Disappointing for a quiet Monday.

    The food was sublime and there was plenty of it! The set menu was more than enough food for everyone. The dips are amazing, but you will definitely need more bread. To finish the meal, the Turkish coffee ice cream is out of this world.
