Step into Babel Dubai and embark on a journey to the heart of Lebanon, where the richness of tradition and the flavours of mature Lebanese cuisine come alive.
Conveniently located in Dubai Mall, Babel isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of the enduring spirit of hospitality, originating in Lebanon, back in 2009. The new Dubai Mall location offers a stunning space that is light, bright, and elegantly decorated with a beautiful terrace complete with fountain and Burj views.
In Lebanon, food is not merely sustenance; it’s an experience. It’s about sharing, connection, and tradition. This is the philosophy that drives Babel Dubai’s business lunch, available Monday through Friday, from 12 PM to 5 PM.
Curated with care, Babel offers an authentic “plat du jour” that’s as diverse and rich as the nation itself. From its beginnings in Lebanon, Babel has always stood as a symbol of culinary innovation steeped in tradition. At its core lies the daily "Tabkha, a cherished ritual, a moment where families and friends gather, stories are shared and bonds are strengthened over a lovingly prepared stew or dish.
A myriad of mouth-watering daily dishes include kibbeh shish barak, a delightful pairing of spiced kibbeh and dumplings in yogurt, siyadieh -fragrant fish and rice, infused with caramelized onions and spices, kousa bel laban- stuffed zucchini simmered in creamy yogurt sauce, freeket djeij- nutty freekeh paired with tender chicken, and mloukhie- a comforting dish of jute mallow leaves, slow-cooked to perfection.
Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots or discovering Lebanese cuisine for the first time, Babel Dubai promises an experience that will leave your heart full, and your palate delighted.
