  “We visited this Turkish restaurant yesterday evening and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and great flavours. We were also pleasantly surprised to receive a lovely soup from the house, which was a really nice touch. The waiter was fantastic — very friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. Everyone was made to feel welcome, and the service really added to the experience. Overall, a lovely restaurant with delicious food, generous portions and excellent service. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.”

  “The only positive part of our experience at Babylon was the friendly and attentive waiter. Unfortunately, I can't rate a restaurant based on the service alone. We ordered the Mixed Kuzu, and the chicken was unbelievably dry. I have no idea how long it had been sitting in the fridge, but it was rock hard, as you can see in the photo. The lamb was at least tender, but it lacked any real flavour. We also ordered a burger, which was just a standard shop bought patty in a bun. Surprisingly, that ended up being the best part of the meal, which says a lot. Overall, the food was very disappointing, and I wouldn't return based on this experience.”

  “The food was really good here. Very authentic and tasty. I ate the Adana with rice and salad, which was very spit on and delicious. The complimentary lentil soup and hot fresh bread with hummus and yogurt dill sauce was great. Must go !!”

  “We went here for Eid Dinner. This place is the definition of good food. The customer service is without a doubt the best I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend this place 10/10. Don’t need to think twice, just go here and you won’t be disappointed.”

  “Finally, quality Turkish food in the South West! The portions are huge, just the way we like them, but it's the flavors we love the most. We've tried most of the meat dishes, and all of them were rich and perfectly moist on the inside. They even provide complimentary starters on the house, something you rarely find in most UK restaurants lol!!! The service is refreshingly genuine. Bark* handles the busy restaurant all alone with incredible efficiency and a smile. Someone give him a raise or two. This was our second visit of many to come...”

  “We went here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Berk was very welcoming and friendly, and managed to sell us some of the home made milk cake which was delicious! All the food was very tasty and fresh, and the prices are very reasonable for the high standard of food quality. A must go if in Exeter!”

  “Second visit to this fantastic restaurant. Portion sizes are huge, and the lentil soup, bread and dips were such a lovely gesture and taste great. Had the mixed kuzi and mixed shish, both delicious. We were full but got tempted to have the milk pudding... goodness me, well worth it! Will definitely be back for a 3rd visit!”

  “Had a fantastic lunch at Babylon in Exeter. The food was absolutely superb, beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with real care. Everything we had was spot on. What really made the visit though was the service. The front-of-house gentleman was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and clearly passionate about the food. He happily explained the dishes, made some great recommendations, and even brought out a couple of complimentary tasters, which was a lovely touch and really enhanced the whole experience. Great food, exceptional service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. A brilliant lunch spot in Exeter. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended. 🍽️⭐”

  “I had an incredible meal here and I’m only gutted that I don’t live in Exeter, otherwise, I’d be eating here more often! We ordered the Lamb Chops and Lamb Ribs, and both were phenomenal. The meat was perfectly marinated and packed with authentic Middle Eastern flavor—absolutely no "gamey" smell or taste at all. The chops were juicy and the ribs were tender and subtly spiced. The portions are very generous for the price (especially considering they come with rice/biryani, salad, and bread), and the quality is top-notch. If you are looking for a satisfying, authentic grill in the city, this is the place to go.”
