Babylon is perfect venue for socialising with large groups - the food is fantastic and great for sharing. You don't need to pre-order or pre-book the food, order as you. The long tables with stools are really perfect for these get togethers as they allow people to move around and chat with others. Service is always fabulous!

The waiters were incredible and very helpful! When we first arrived to the restaurant they couldn't find our booking, we were still seated but they very generously gave us free drinks in return. The food was great, and the $50 set menu was very filling and great value!
