Babylon

Babylon on Oxford Road serves a wide-ranging menu that takes in chicken shawarma, kebabs, falafel, batata harra and fish and chips under one roof. Reviewers consistently single out the chicken shawarma for generous portioning and bold seasoning, and the vegetarian falafel option has earned its own following. The menu covers a broad sweep of the Middle East and beyond, all at prices that suit the student-dense Oxford Road corridor. A halal kitchen and a tolerant attitude to late-night custom make it a practical, reliable choice near the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan campuses.
