Eetcafe Babylon in Wijk 01 Binnenstad

A charming café with very friendly service. The place is a bit cramped and perhaps awkwardly laid out with steps and pillars. Still, the sandwiches and fries were delicious, but it was a shame that a drunken loser was constantly telling his stories at the bar next to us...

Sat on the patio in the afternoon. It was lovely to see it completely full, while the neighbor's patio was practically empty. Must be because of the cheerful waitress.

I recommend it, good cakes, coffee, beer, great service and a view from the balcony inside.

The staff is super friendly, the food took a bit of a while, but it was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. One downside: I think €7.50 for a Makro sandwich is a bit steep.

I like to spend some time on the terrace at the end of the day... nice atmosphere, my favorite tea flavor, and very friendly service (Robin).

Delicious food and not expensive.

Lovely lunch spot. Friendly, smiling service from a lady who always had time for everyone. The food on the terrace was excellent.

Food is more expensive than reported at The Fork.

This place is great, and the set in the picture is very good, the service 🔥. Best regards

The food was delicious. However, if you check the website linked to this Google Maps location beforehand, be aware that you'll suddenly pay 1.5 times more in the restaurant! When you point this out to the staff, they say they hear this often, but that it's an old website (so please delete it or link the correct website to the Maps location). I looked up the new website, and it also shows prices lower than the menu. The menu prices are still being maintained, which is not customer-friendly.

Nette kaart,heerlijk wat gedronken en er valt om je heen veel te zien..personeel is netjes en beleeft..tot de volgende keer 👋🏽

We had the Mezzes. A mix of (fortunately vegetarian!) appetizers with bread. Basically, all dips. Delicious. What was striking was that the price per person on the menu (€15.50) was about 1.5 times the price on the website (€9.95)! This is why Dutch restaurants are so expensive! A mere 50% off the price. Delicious, but the price is truly exorbitant.

Cozy restaurant with super friendly service and a beautiful view of the Voorstraathaven and also beautifully lit in the evening. The dishes are particularly tasty and prepared with very good quality ingredients with herbs from the Turkish kitchen. The spiced minced meat and chicken meat from the grill are irresistibly tasty and not to forget the salads and the mezze mix as a starter. Delicious food. Once eaten, never forgotten! It had been a while so I went to Babylon again. Always delicious. You keep coming back regularly.

Never had to wait so long for a sandwich, you might as well have gone to the supermarket where you can get products and make a sandwich yourself, and then you want to order something and have to wait about 1 hour

The cocktail didn't taste like it should. Furthermore, the price online deviated from the price on the menu on the table. According to the staff, the price online was leading. Then the more expensive price as shown on the card on the table was charged. Not very neat. Definitely won't go there again

We will never go here again, had made a reservation for 8 people, the owner was very rude, did not look for a solution for us, he just said we have no room so it is bad luck

Cozy terrace and friendly service

Ordered 2 Long Island ice teas for €24.00. Way too much ice. With my own bottle (500 ml) I was able to refill it 3 times. In addition, it tasted like syrup (or it was simply watered down by the large amount of ice). Well, wouldn't recommend here. Terraces next to it are much better.

We tried meze mix, and it should be mention in menu that price for 1 person, coz in the end we paid twice more, and when I said is scam employee was so rude which made experience even worse, when we were ordering she should mention that price is only for 1 person or it should be written in the menu!, also my partner didn’t even like mezes, for me it was so so. We wouldn’t come back again.

Spacious places on a large terrace in the old center of Dordrecht. A richly filled farmer's omelette with peppers, onions and mushrooms, somewhat bland in taste. The carpacio sandwiches were delicious.

The welcome was very warm, the food delicious and the staff very friendly. Highly recommended

Great lunch for a very reasonable price. Also had a quick chat with the owner. Very nice man. Definitely come back here regularly

Goed restaurant. Wij hebben er heel lekker gelunched . De pizza was heerlijk. Echt een aanrader. Heel vriendelijk personeel. Midden op de markt van dordrecht

The food took a very long time, about 45 minutes before we could order and we then waited 1.5 hours for the food. Once the food arrived, it was unfortunately very poor and just not tasty. I ordered a carpaccio sandwich, I received dry bread with coleslaw on it with some carpacio and nasty sauce. My friend had the lentil soup but she also said it tasted bad. It took a very long time for everyone, the people next to us did not have to pay for their drinks because they had to wait half an hour for their food. The waiter didn't realize that we had waited much longer, which was quite unfortunate. It's a shame because it's a nice place to be.

Bij Babylon kan je genieten van de Turkse keuken tegen een scherpe prijs. Vriendelijke eigenaar en dito bediening. In de zomer beschikt het ook over een van de weinige zonnige terrassen in het centrum van Dordrecht. De flauwgevallen Imam is een van onze favoriete gerechten hier.

Just had the worst food experience. We waited one hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold. My husband ordered the Alexander kebab, which is supposed to have mixed chicken and bread, but he could barely find any chicken, and it came with just a spoonful of plain yogurt, not even seasoned. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because of the friendly waitress who served us. To top it off, on our way to the bathroom, there were random shoes and flip-flops left on the stairs. Plus it is expensive and for nothing!! I don't recommend this place at all!

Met mijn moeder en broer heb ik geluncht in dit leuke Turkse eetcafé. Het zit op een mooie locatie in het historische centrum. Wij kozen voor een tafeltje met uitzicht op het water en zagen wat bootjes voorbij komen. Mijn moeder koos voor een omelet met Mozzarella en mijn broer en ik deelden verschillende warme voorgerechtjes en dronken er nog wat bij. Het was allemaal erg lekker en we gingen tevreden weg.

This afternoon we had lunch at Babylon cafe in Dordrecht, the first and last time for us. Charging an outrageous price for a salmon sandwich and both the pistolet and the Italian roll were not fresh. As tough as it can be.

Small portions, poor quality ingredients. Ordered the most expensive sandwiches on the menu and it felt like one 12 euro meal had cost 2 euros in the supermarket.

i went to grab a bite with my homeboy and we got expensive sandwiches and it lowkey tasted like the bread was two days old. sorry i don't speak dutch i'm typing in english

Obviously this is a review of 1 evening of drinks, but the staff did not seem professional and the snacks were really nothing, especially cold and a lot of fat, but those few skewers were nice.

Nice store in the center of Dordrecht. Nice menu, cozy location and friendly staff. If you happen to be in Dordrecht and you want something to eat, I would definitely recommend this one

Stopped by for a few drinks and a plate of nachos. The drinks were pretty normal. The nachos were a bit disappointing with half of the chips in crumbles. Not easy to pick up when you have to eat with hands.

Bediening is prima, eten is matig. 5x broodje gegrilde kip besteld. We vragen ons af of de kip gegrild moest zijn of het broodje. Met het pistoletje kon je iemand verwonden en de Italiaanse bol was maar voor de helft gevuld met de gebakken kip. De bijbehorende friet was allesbehalve warm. Voor ons in ieder geval geen herhaling.

Delicious food! Compliments to the chefs‼️ Everything that was homemade tasted very good 🤗 "Chocolate" cake was not home-made, not a problem in itself... But tasted more like dry cake with a little jam; was waived without fuss and apologized for; all very correct. (Tip; Vanilla ice cream is fine; but maybe spice it up a bit with cinnamon or something, for example?) It was all exceptionally tasty and very well prepared! Hats off to the owner, chefs and wait staff!

Together with my husband, we were trying to enjoy the beautiful city of Dordrecht and just had a stop by in Babylon Cafe restaurant for a bite. Regretting it till the very end because of the unbelievably unhigenic conditions of their kitchen, which can offer a meal with the cook's hair in it. As if is not enough, the unfriendly attitude of the staff, who nearly tried to make us responsible of the horrible meal served.

Unbelievably unhigenic, hair coming out of the dish, and not evden a sorry from the staff. The attitude of the staff also very unfriendly. Would not recommend at all

Despite the crowds, we were offered a table for 4. Furthermore, very helpful and friendly service. The food was delicious; pizza and a pasta. What really bothered me is how unabashedly the other guests, groups of 4 or more from this region, shouted at their company all over the restaurant. As if the louder they shout at each other determines how good they are. What a crowd...

Great, what delicious food pirzola adama and lamb skewer really super tasty and not to forget top service nice people professionals 🫡🫡🫡

Nice service 😊 good food 😊 I recommend 😊

Food not that special, but nice space for a large group.

Very tasty dishes. From the outside it doesn't look that attractive, but inside is a nice place to sit. One of my favorite places to grab a bite!! Recommended!

Initially received the wrong beer. We had to ask ourselves if we could order food, which could only be done with another colleague. After waiting 45 minutes we were still unable to order food and left. All in all, bad service. A beautiful location!

Very wheelchair friendly location, toilets are easy to reach for people with mobility problems

Beautiful place with a nice spacious outside terrace.

Small but nice and the food was delicious!

Good service and tasty cocktails

No service, horror. The waitress does not know how to deal with customers, showed aggression, no competence. There is no service. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I do not recommend. The food is like rubber, the waiters behave badly, and the drinks are very bad and expensive

The service at this cafe is horrible!!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!!!🤮🤮🤮

The best cafe in Dordrecht💙. With a beautiful view of the river✨💙, and a very comfortable place inside and outside the cafe👍🏻.

Went today for the first time, very cozy tents and good service and good welcome and friendly staff, keep it up, I was very satisfied and good food and coffee

Nice restaurant with good food. It's bigger than expected. And finally tried it out after years. What delicious dishes and what great service. Highly recommended.

Tonight we had dinner at Babylon for the first time. The service is really very friendly! The food was delicious. Many things can be modeled on this restaurant. Top service. Thank you!

Overworked waiter I supposed. He made us wait for a piece of velvet cake. The cake is not remarkable. Mediocre eetcafe. Can be missed if you are visiting Dordrecht.

Ordered 2 pizzas with 2 people on a not too busy Saturday evening around 6:30 PM. We got a nice spot by the window, but the tables and chairs were close together so you had to contort yourself a bit. But luckily when the pizzas arrived after half an hour, they tasted delicious. Because we were a bit late, we asked if they had containers in which we could take the food. They responded kindly and came up with something. Furthermore, the atmosphere was pleasant and also somewhat cozy due to the decor.

Great place, good food (Turkish of international) for very fair prices. Of maybe just for a cup of coffee, you have a excellent view on the river. Extremely friendly people. Been there 3 times ! I definitely recommend Eetcafe Babylon.

Can't comment on the food as we asked to order some and the waitress never came back to the table. The custom service was very lackluster. Trying to conversate/smile with the waitresses was a big no, as they didn't seem interested in us, more interested in smoking outside. It wasn't a particularly busy morning (less then a third of the tables were filled) so I doubt the lack of service can be blamed on them being busy when four staff members were stood around. Coffee was okay, The only saving grace was the view over the canal.

Heerlijk gegeten, was een leuk terras op pleintje bij een leuk bruggetje. Dordrecht is een mooie stad met veel haventjes en oude gebouwen.

Door slecht weer en drukke kinderen beetje lastig om rustig te eten en dan de boeren omelet lekker maar ook erg flauw al met al toch genoten 👍

Voor mij de leukste en lekkerste terras in Dordrecht. Kwaliteit eten is altijd goed en service ook! 1000% een aanrader! Tip: mezzemix (heerlijk)

Prima sfeer met Big Rivers, lekker eten op terras, sanitair binnen mínder

Leuk Turks restaurant met verzorgde gerechten

Was gezellig en wij hadden mezze en deze waren erg lekker

Приятное кафе, очень вкусный шашлык, очень приятная атмосфера! Ужин на двойх с вином примерно 70€... Nice cafe, very tasty shish kebab, very pleasant atmosphere! Dinner for two with wine around 70€...

Location and service is great. Food was oily. The girl serving was nice and was advising well.

Babylon zit in het hartje van sfeervol Dordrecht op het Scheffersplein.Het terras heeft de langste tijd zon op het plein en voor een drankje of hapje voor een leuke prijs zit je daar goed.De eigenaar is meestal zelf aanwezig en zorgt ervoor dat alles soepel loopt en de klant op tijd bedient wordt.

Gezellig op het pleintje gezeten, aardige bediening en vlotte service. Aanrader is het broodje met pittige kip.

Broodje zalm met veel te veel dillesaus. Broodje kip was prima en zelfs met frites erbij. Latte machiaco was lekker. Goedkoop was het niet, integendeel. Eerder wat aan de dure kant. Toilet zag er niet zo verzorgd uit. Kraan van de wastafel zat los. Toiletpapier was niet in de houder bijgevuld en zeep was op. Bediening deed erg zijn best tijdens drukte en duidelijk krappe bezetting. Als er minder saus gebruikt wordt en extra aandacht voor de toiletruimte komt, scoren ze zeker meer sterren.

Wat hebben we hier heerlijk gegeten

Taco s waren taai. Gelukkig heb ik m'n eigen gebit nog.

Lekker geluncht ,wel een beetje krap om te zitten en heeft wat onderhoud nodig bij het sanitair.

Weer heerlijk gegeten op een mooie locatie

水路沿いでとても雰囲気が良いとです。 店員さんもフレンドリーで過ごしやすいです。

Heel lekker gegeten.zou van mij iets meer kruiden op het vlees mogen. Vriendelijke bediening

Prima gegeten. (te) Veel vlees - iets meer groente had gemogen. 2x lamsvlees; 1x uit de oven/erg smakelijk & 1x van de gril; iets te droog. Wel een aanrader om eens uit te proberen!

We had lunch here yesterday. We first ordered 2 sandwiches that served with 🍟. When the waiter was still noting that order, I said that we'd also like 1 portion of grilled vegetables. "Oh no, I think it's too much for you. The portion is big and you already ordered 2 sandwiches with 🍟", that's how he responded. "So, we shouldn't order this?" "My suggestion is not because it's too much for the 2 of you. But if you want I can make it". I personally have been working in horeca since 2017 in this country. I don't think it's an appropriate response to any guests. If guests order something and they can't finish what they order with any reasons, it should NOT be any waiters' problem. The guests toch still pay. The food was just ok. Nothing above the average.

Eettip: de linzensoep en de pizza Diavola

Lekker wijntje gedronken op het Terras.

Zeer vriendelijke eigenaar en dito personeel. Gerechten van de lunchkaart smaken goed. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is meer dan goed, de prijs zou zelfs iets hoger mogen voor hetgeen dat je krijgt. De Turkse gerechten, pizza's maar ook het broodje carpaccio smaken allemaal heerlijk. De bierkaart is vrij uitgebreid waardoor je op een zonnige dag heerlijk op het terras kan vertoeven. Een aanrader om tijdens een bezoek aan Dordt even een stop te wagen bij Babylon.

locatie is top en super lief personeel!!!

Met een glimlach Proffessioneel bediend.primma koffie.

Heerlijk eten op een mooie locatie.

Lovely situation and very friendly!
