Start your experience with a leisurely breakfast served from 9am to 12pm on weekdays. Babel’s breakfast deal for two (just AED 90) is the perfect way to ease into the day.
Think fresh-out-the-oven bread, eggs done the Lebanese way, za’atar, labneh, olives, and all the comforting flavors that feel like home; even if you’ve never been to Lebanon.

And if you’re in the mood for something more curated, the à la carte breakfast menu is available throughout the week, with thoughtful dishes that are both nostalgic and contemporary.
Feast for the senses
As the day progresses, the menu evolves into a celebration of Levantine cuisine with a modern twist.
The lunch and dinner selections are extensive, offering everything from refreshing cold mezzes like hummus caviar and muhammara, to inventive starters like salmon tartar and traditional staples such as kibbeh nayyeh.
For those who crave heartier bites, hot mezzes like ravioli shish barak, chicken liver, and grilled octopus deliver bold flavors with finesse.
The mains are where Babel truly shines; think melt-in-your-mouth shawarma, delicately spiced kebabs, and mixed grills that are equal parts rustic and refined.
And no visit is complete without dessert. Whether it’s a silky smooth mouhalabieh, a playful take on knefeh, or a simple Arabic coffee to end on a high note, the sweet section of the menu is as impressive as the rest.
