Babylon is located in Richmond, Kentucky on Main Street. This wonderful little hole in the wall cafe has such personality! You walk in and you see some amazing artwork on the walls and the smells are delicious! You order at the counter and then take a seat and wait for your mediteranean experience to begin.
I had the falafel lunch special and couldn't have been more pleased. It consisted of rice, a salad, and a falafel. When we placed our order I did ask what is a falafel and I was told it is vegetarian, so I still have no idea what it is. No worries though I am positive it is not made of vegetarians.
The rice was a nice yellow color and I was slightly suspicious of it but it is some of the best flavored rice I have ever eaten. It is so good I ate most of it before I even tried the falafel. The salad is a greek salad containing lettuce, tomato, olives, feta cheese, and a vinaigrette dressing. Very delicious and light. Now to the falafel. This is a delicious flatbread with lettuce, tomato, onion, and some sort of vegetarian substitute for meat. I don't know what it is made of as I said, but it was so good. It looked like it had broccoli and chickpeas in it, but once again they didn't tell me what it contained. Maybe its a secret! They also had a delicious sauce to use on it that was a yogurt and dill mix.
I enjoyed eating at Babylon. The meal was quite substantial and I didn't walk away feeling weighed down at all. I already know what I will be sampling the next time. I want to try that vegetarian sampler they have. If it is anything like the falafel I will be ecstatic. (No I am not a vegetarian, but I do enjoy a number of vegetarian foods.)
