    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

    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 service is friendly and nice. They will take very good care of you. We love all their food. Some of our favorites are the juicy beef or lamb kabob. All of their soups are great. We really like the lentil soup. Their salads are great and there is something there for everyone. vegans will also love this place. Their mains are just the best. You will love it.

    Freshly baked SAMOON BREAD. Hameed, one of the store managers, thoughtfully baked it fresh for my…read moresandwich and for a 5-piece bag of Samoon bread to go. Samoon is an Iraqi white yeast bread shaped like a diamond or a canoe. The origin is likely from Georgia then brought to Iraq by Armenians immigrants. The first baker to make this bread in Iraq was named Simon, which translates to Samoon in Arabic. My CHICKEN KABOB SANDWICH on Samoon bread with house garlic sauce was so delicious! You have your choice of garlic sauce or tahini sauce, but Hameed told me that the garlic sauce culturally pairs with the Samoon and the tahini sauce with the Pita. You also have your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and pickles. I think the yummy default is to order everything, but I said all but the onion. Wow, who knew that dicing cucumber elevates it to a new level of taste and texture! I mistook it for zucchini. I am all eager to order or make Jerusalem Salad or Israeli Salad now, a salad prepped with those same toppings, except the lettuce. Restaurant is uncomfortably warm with the bread oven, but nothing beats eating food freshly baked and prepared, so I decided to eat my sandwich there. There are just a few tables inside. No outdoor dining. Most people order to go. The savory PIES come in two shapes: a large round and a smaller diamond or canoe shape. Given I have been dreaming of Georgian cheese bread, Adjaruli Khachapuri, for years, I opted for the boat shape and got one MEAT PIE and one CHEESE PIE. The meat was spiced. I heated each in the toaster oven for a few minutes. Fun to eat! Very reasonably priced. I googled the Middle Eastern word for hand pies: Fatayer. The dolmas were also fun and convenient to eat. 10 in a box. Dolmas are marinated grape leaves stuffed with a seasoned rice and rolled into little cigars. Restaurant offers 2 juices made in house: 1. Freshly squeezed OJ that was bright orange in color 2. Fruit punch made with grape juice and black carrot juice Restaurant offers 3 kinds of baklava for dessert! 1. Walnut Baklava 2. Pistachio Baklava 3. Bird Nest Baklava (Arabic: Osh El Bulbul) At home, I enjoyed my Samoon with BABA GHANOUSH and hummus from Mediterranean Bakery. Baba Ghanoush seemed more special to me than the hummus. I did appreciate that the hummus came garnished with a few chickpeas. I also ordered a 1/2 pound of beef shawarma to go. It needed 20 minutes to finish grilling on the rotisserie, so I explored Alibaba International Foods market and the Kind Bean Cafe & Ethiopian Cuisine restaurant in the same plaza. Beef shawarma is marinated in a spiced paste. Lacking all the fresh vegetable toppings, I couldn't assemble as delectable a sandwich at home. If I can tear myself away from the chicken kabob sandwich (kabab, kebab, kebob), I'd be interested in trying the other meat sandwiches: beef kabob, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, chicken shawarma, and beef shawarma. I'd also try salads: Mediterranean Salad, Greek Salad, or Beyrotiya Salad (chickpeas, tomatoes, and cucumbers in olive oil, garlic, cumin, and lemon juice). I procrastinated too long writing this review, so my memory may be failing me. The co-owners of the restaurant are all from the Mediterranean area: Sudan, Lebanon, and Iraq, I believe. Thanks to Hameed for your kind hospitality and food preparation. I'll be back for the Samoon and sandwiches!

The delivery itself was great, but the food wasn't. The salad had cucumbers throughout, and since my body does not do well digesting cucumber, I couldn't eat it. The sharwama sandwhich was squished together, the bread was soggy and most of the meat filling was inedible - it was dried out and not 'chewable'; it was as if they'd saved the overcooked/dry meat for a delivery order. The garlic yogurt dip was good. Also ordered baklava, it was okay. Will not order from them again.

Gyro was good but the Tzaki was really thick, I would order that on the side. Felt like the tzaki and the feta were salty. The fries were FIRE!!!!! Great seasoning. The greek plate was good HUGE PORTIONS! It was so much that we had to take some home. The rice was salty, the salad was hella good and the gyro meat was great. Oh I forgot they have some great orange and passion fruit, lemonade and a watermelon refreshing drinks. One thing that sucked was they didnt have any good hot sauce to put on the food. Tabasco and cholula was all they had. I would prefer something more authentic. I'd give this place 3.5 stars. I drive all the way to the city of Stockton to get some great greek food. I was hoping this would have been a hit so I wouldn't have to drive so far.
