Cons:

• "The service and time took a very long time. I waited about 10-20 minutes just for drinks then the food came shortly after."

• "The drink was on the small portion and the service was just okay - no tap water was offered until being asked."
• "Other then the place being aesthetically pleasing, there wasn't much else that was impressive. Service was very slow even though there were so many staff members."
• "Most of the food was nice, but was not brought out with the others. As well, my main was first burnt and second inedible."
• "Always enjoyed Babylon and delicious food and great service but felt compelled to compliment them today. They missed to book our takeaway but were so apologetic that they compensated us."
• "I normally go to Lime and Thyme for coffee they serve the best Cuppicuno in Raynes Park, but unfortunately they were closed so I went to Babylon for coffee what a disaster."
• "We had such an excellent dinner we returned for lunch the next day which was just as good, a super cafe/restaurant. Now back home in the Costa Brava we look forward to returning next time we are in Raynes Park."

Cons:

• "It’s a bit small and crowded and I think they accept too much customer at once but food is worth to wait."

• "This place does an amazing brunch. I’ve been here twice already and tried two different dishes, turkish eggs, and smashed avo, both were delicious and decent portions! Their smoothies are lush too!"
• "Service was very slow even though there were so many staff members. It didn't seem very organised, like they didn't have allocated tables to look after or were all training still."
• "There was no social distancing between tables as they were stacked next to each other, waiters & waitresses were not wearing masks and there was no contact tracing."
