Babel is a casual self-service restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg offering Lebanese cuisine. The Babel…read morePlatte for two people was a nice sampling of their mezzes including hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel, halloumi, pickled turnips/cucumbers/chilies, ground lamb kafta, chicken shawarma, rice wrapped in grape leaves, spinach and cheese pastries, makali (fried zucchini, peppers, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower), and makdous (preserved stuffed eggplant). The plate also came with several condiments: amba (mango sauce), toum (garlic sauce), shatta (spicy chili sauce), and tarator (tahini sauce). We also got the Grill Teller, which came with an assortment of grilled meats including chicken kebab, lamb kebab, lamb chop, and lamb kafta, along with hummus, salad, and pickles. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful, but my favorite item was the huge falafels, which were nicely seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior. Overall, a great self-service restaurant, where you could help yourself to bread, utensils, and plates--and everything came at a good value too!
