    We had a great experience here. Entering the building, it's not scary as other places and seems like good people work there, Welcoming environment. I've always wanted to try their food here since it looks authentic. First time trying it the other day. Combination lamb and beef kabobs with rice was really good. I love charcoal bbq and you can really taste it they were giving away free middle eastern chocolate too so that was yummy. We will definitely go back for more. Thank you.

    My go to middle eastern store when I'm in the Sacramento area. All the products that I want, including fresh vegetables and meats, a huge selection of canned and dry goods. I also have a bakery where they bake breads, fresh continuously and I always pick up pita bread when I'm here.

    General disarray

    Understaffed over stuffed and about 20 PCT over priced with comparable stores. Good food and variety tho

    Fresh fruits and vegetable as per season

    Mediterranean market a must visit in sacramento They offer everything in one stop: Variety of Mediterranean food spices snacks tea coffee and much more. They have a butcher shop that offer fresh meat prepared to order. Fresh vegetable and fruits Bakery let's not forget the 3 different type of bread that is baked daily. Depending on the day and time you May have to place an order and wait a little. They have fresh middle eastern pastry and deserts displayed. And yes a menu of food to go. They are most popular for the sandwich with the fresh baked breads. Over all taste is mild and flavorful. You can easily spend an hour browsing aisle while you wait for your food to enjoy and take some bread to go. Where else can you do so much in such little time. A great escape to run grocery errands have lunch. This is my must visit when in sacramento

    Very unfriendly atmosphere. Employees simply scowled. No welcome and no gratitude. Not sure why. Perhaps it was my shoes...?

    Ask the Community - Babylon City Market

    Are they open Christmas Day?

    Yes we are open from 10am - 7pm daily including holidays.

    I went to a gathering that was catered from Babylon. I had some garlic aioli/dip. What is it called? I think it was to be eaten with the chicken kabobs

    It's the garlic sauce that they put on chicken kabab sandwiches.

    Does Babylon City Market do catering? Is there a menu online?

    Did you check online?

The restuarant is gorgeous with moracan material covering the walls and ceiling. Very authentic. The food was delicious and plentiful. We evenhad some left to take home. They especially loved the soup, chicken, pita bread, mint tea and the filo pastery meat pie. The belly dancer was the phenomenal! Not only was she extreemly talented and engaging, but she invited the kids to dance with her, which made the whole night welcoming and super fun. It was also very resoanable and they made accomodations for the kids. My olderst granddaughter, age 12, said: "This is a 5 star restaurant!" The 7 year old said: "It's a million stars!

Started with a delicious soup made of lentils followed by a delicious savory sweet appetizer called pastillo. Then we were served family style with all their entrees on the menu. There was enough food to serve all 7 of us comfortably. Then we were served fresh Baklava and mint tea afterwards. It was a delightful experience. The best part of the whole experience was the owner Hisham. He was very friendly when serving us and was super knowledgeable about his culture and food. We could tell he was very passionate about his culture's history and preserving and sharing the knowledge. Whata delightful kind man. My family and I will definitely return when we want a true authentic taste of Morocco.

We ordered Limonada Arabe, Jamaica rosada, Viva Palestina, Taco Arabe, and the Meza Sampler. The sourdough flatbread that our excellent server described as being given two days to rise and made perfectly fresh to order was so addicting that I needed to cut myself off and put my leftover Meza Sampler and bread in my to go box and focus on enjoying more of the best al pastor taco I have ever had! My friend and I kept raving about the flavors of our dinners! I highly recommend this restaurant and I learned we can enjoy their flatbread and other food items at Midtown Farmers Market for the win! The cook welcomed us in and seated us and our server paid so much attention to us, no matter how busy they got, showing how much they care about all of their customers and our dining experience. My eyes lit up with our server asked if we wanted any dessert, then mentioned their cookie options. We chose the chocolate chip with Tahini and back sesame. This was the perfect grand finale of a dessert to our unforgettable meal! I'm so glad I have lamb al pastor leftovers because the garlic sauce on top is icing on the cake! I look forward to returning with family and friends!

Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food is a staple for me, and the depth of flavor here is unmatched--owner Samir's family recipes, especially for the dips, truly stand out from anywhere else. Because most of my family is vegetarian, we have tried virtually everything on the menu over the years, and you honestly cannot go wrong with a single item. Beit Rima has also been my go-to for catering across every kind of occasion--from my kids' birthday parties and relaxed family gatherings to a formal leadership dinner I hosted recently. I have served their food to guests from all different backgrounds, and it is a massive hit every single time. Whether you are dropping in for a casual meal or catering a special event, the consistency, quality, and warmth of the food never disappoints.
