Eat Modern Middle Eastern Cuisine at Babylon Rooftop & Garden Bar

Westfield Sydney is packed with top places to dine, so if you are looking for something special one of its most dynamic restaurants is Babylon. Inspired by that ancient Seventh Wonder, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Levantine eatery is coincidentally positioned right up high on the seventh floor. Trailing greenery adorns the funky outdoor rooftop bar, while its smart interior recreates the magic and awe of the Middle East.

What is the vibe at Babylon Rooftop & Garden Bar?

Babylon is vast. With an 800-person capacity its generous indoor restaurant boasts spacious private dining rooms for large get-togethers, and intimate booths under horseshoe arched ceilings. From the open-plan kitchen, you’ll hear the clatter of the chefs and smell the aroma of lamb shish coming from the mangal grill. Plush burnt orange velvet upholstery, polished grey marble and golden accents all combine to create a seriously sophisticated ambience.

For Sydneysiders who love their sundowners, Babylon’s awesome roof terrace is the best place to be. A funky spot where live music and DJ sets pick up the tempo during the latter part of the week, Babylon’s open-air rooftop is a great place to get the party started with cocktails galore.

What can I eat at Babylon Rooftop & Garden Bar?

From Lebanon to Syria, Babylon’s menu runs the entire gamut of the Middle East. Head Chef Arman Uz has carefully handpicked culinary highlights from the multifarious region. To demystify the intricate array of dishes on offer, the menu is welcomingly divided into Flora, Ocean and Fauna. Rich with colour and generously infused with spice, each mouth-watering dish ignites the senses with every bite.

Like most Middle Eastern dining, a communal experience is best so don’t be afraid to order plenty to share. Start with the house made Turkish bread, za’atar butter and green tomato tabbouleh with freekeh and vegetable lemon dressing.

Clarence River octopus is wood fired to perfection and immersed in a ful medames stew and Egyptian fava beans. Equally flavoursome is the goat tagine enriched with olives, dates, red peppers and preserved lemon.

What can I drink at Babylon Rooftop & Garden Bar?

Whether you’re dining and want a complementary accompaniment to your meal, or visiting for a cocktail or two on the rooftop, Babylon has an impressive drinks menu. Like the food, cocktails are enlivened with spice. Try a Garden of Eden. With Tanqueray Rangpur, Campari, lime and ginger, it’s a Negroni’s exotic cousin.

The wine list is superb starring over 300 varieties from home and away. Ditto the sprits list, which has hundreds of expertly sourced whiskies, bourbons, gins and cognacs from all over the world.
