This place was delicious! Every dish was full of flavor and spice. Lots of fresh lemon, dill and cucumbers. It was also very affordable. I recommend the family style option because you get to try a lot of the menu that way. Not for people who enjoy bland American food.
The food is incredible it's a very unique experience. I've traveled the world and eaten in many countries with this Kurdish food is absolutely fantastic I've never been disappointed there and the prices are very reasonable
I love everything about this place and the family that owns it. I can never visit without starting my meal with Naska Nan - a simple, but delicious appetizer. Their Dowjic soup is also amazing. The new location on the West Side just over the Wabasha Bridge is so convenient and parking is plentiful.
Wonderful place. There are so many positive reviews I'd simply be repeating something someone else has said. I've been to Kurdistan three times and stay with friends. Eating at Babani's is the next best thing.
Food was wonderful. Service was even better. Portions are ample. I have visited several cities during my 9 trips to Kurdistan. Babani’s is equally as good or better than any restaurants in Kurdistan.
Wasn't sure what to expect; I've had Mediterranean and Indian cuisine before, and the menu seemed to suggest a little of both. The Kurdish tea was very good, the sauce for the feta-covered bread appetizer was wonderfully spicy and savory, but not overpowering. The Dowjic soup was sublime, a chicken and lemon broth with basil and rice. The chicken over rice was a journey through a beautiful place; I only wish I could remember what it was called! It was the special of the day, and not on their regular menu.
We hadn’t been to Babani’s for a very long time but I suddenly got my tastebuds set on their stuffed eggplant so we visited last night. (After a detour to their old location - it really HAS been a long time!). Everything was top notch - friendly service, GREAT food, and a reasonable price. It won’t be so long before we visit again!
Great food, very much like comfort food. Meat, rice, some gravy and salad. Add in tea and friendly service and it's a great place!
My husband and I ate at Babani's for the first time last night and it was exceptional! Everything we ate was delicious, and a great mix of mild to spicy dishes all of which were so well balanced and flavorful. The baklava was the best I've ever eaten, not too sweet and really well done. In addition the service was fantastic, they were friendly and so fast! Do yourself a favor and try this place!
Babani's has not only the best food but also the best atmosphere and service. Every time we go, I feel right at home. Babani's is something truly special!
Nice decor, friendly people, quick efficient service; delicious food at very reasonable prices- really special dining experience!
Excellent freshly made delicious food with unique blend of spices in chicken and beef dishes or vegetarian. Quality ingredients and healthy.
Babani's 2 is spacious, beautifully decorated and relaxing. The parking lot offers such easy access compared to the first site. Babani's food might be in our top three of favorites in Saint Paul and has been for many years. Nothing really compares because it is so unique!
I recommend this restaurant to everyone! If you blink you will miss an amazing experience. I felt like I traveled to the middle east. Small yet colorful environment. Authentic kurdish food full wonderful and unexpected flavors.
