Babel Bazaar — Restaurant in Stockholm

Visited this restaurant during lunchtime. Fairly busy but still had space to sit down. Ordered the Halloumi Bowl and Shawarma plate.

1st The Halloumi Bowl. This dish gets a 5 out of 5. There different texture experience from the creamy houmus and the fried Halloumi squares. While the addition of pomegranate seeds allows cutting through the fattiness of the dish. Fairly large portion but not too much that you need to feel bad for wasting food.

2nd Shawarma plate. This dish would get 3,5 out of 5. While the seasoning of the meat was good it just left it should be cooked a bit more. To have more of the chared parts. From the texture perspective, the whole dish felt a bit "one way" and I was missing something acidy what would balance it all out.

The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and well maintained.

Would recommend this as a good fast...

Not sure about the bad reviews, maybe the other dishes than what I ordered wasn’t as high quality, but my own experience was simply amazing. The food (Biryani bowl mixed chicken and shawarma) was incredible to say the least. Wow! Not sure how to make it better, maybe serve with some bread. 9.5/10. They also have a wonderful spot in the sun to enjoy your meal or a beer 🍺 Staff very friendly. It’s an Iraqi place. Loved it and are definitely coming back. Very very...
