Babylon

Babylon sits in Kentron and runs a menu that moves between Armenian and Levantine cooking. Start with a spread of mezze — hummus, mutabal, babaganoush, or a home-style pickle plate, priced 1400–1900 AMD, with an option to add meat to the hummus for 2600 AMD. Soups range from lentil and bean to a chicken soup and a spas with ishli kyufta, alongside pumpkin and mushroom cream soups. Salads include tabbouleh (plain or with basturma), fatoush, a sweet-and-sour eggplant salad, and a Caesar available with or without shrimp. For hot starters, there's araisi, a berek and kyufta assortment, ishli kyufta, and berek filled with meat or four cheeses. Main courses cover dolma, a version made with chopped meat, manti, veal khashlama, lamb khashlama, and chicken biryani. The kebab section is where prices climb: a kebab assortment, a royal kebab platter, chicken skewers, veal tenderloin skewers, and a chef's lamb shoulder, running from 3400 up to 26500 AMD for the largest shared platters. Fish options include Iranian masgouf, grilled salmon with spinach, and stellate sturgeon grilled or on the mangal. A separate lunch menu offers shish taouk, eggs with tomatoes, eggs Benedict with jingalov hats and salmon, chicken quesadillas, veal quesadillas, and chicken fricassee. With an average check around 6500 AMD, Babylon suits groups wanting to share mezze and kebabs, as well as solo diners picking from the lunch menu.
