Our first visit here was for lunch the day before yesterday and we will driving the 90 minutes back for dinner this weekend, it was just that amazing. The outside does not look like much but don't let that deceive you. The decor inside is...More

Normally I’m a Minneapolis guy. But if there is one restaurant that will get me to the other side of the river it’s Babani’s. The food is delicious. The folks who work there are charming...maybe a little too charming...Naw just charming enough. And now they’ve...More

We had a friendly waiter and plenty of options (booths or tables) on our arrival late Saturday afternoon. Babani's doesn't have a huge menu, but there are plenty of options (including vegetarian). There's a modest wine and beer menu as well ($6 for a glass...More

This was my third time here and it was as wonderful as the first two. They were packed at lunch time but the service managed to keep up. The food is terrific. Wonderful flavors and menu.

Delicious food. Apparently, this was the first Kurdish restaurant in the US. Fast service, delicious food. The fresh bread was incredible. I had beef on biryani (a fantastic rice dish.) My wife had shish-kabob chicken. The lemonade was very good, but different. It's made with...More
