Babel, Lebanese restaurant in Salmiya, Kuwait.
Babel is a Lebanese restaurant on Arabian Gulf Street in Salmiya, Kuwait, combining traditional recipes with contemporary cooking techniques. The menu features fish shawarma, a range of kebbeh variations, and other dishes prepared with fresh regional ingredients.
The restaurant was founded in 2009 in Dbayeh, Lebanon, and later expanded into the Gulf region. The Salmiya location was part of that growth.
The kitchen follows Lebanese traditions, preparing fish shawarma and spice combinations rooted in everyday levantine coastal cooking. Many of the recipes on the menu come from the kind of food people eat along the eastern Mediterranean on a daily basis.
The restaurant is open from morning until midnight and works for both lunch and dinner. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially if you plan to come in the evening.
The dining room features sandstone walls and arched passages that come directly from the original Lebanese design concept. This setting was kept intact when the restaurant expanded to Kuwait, giving the space a character that feels closer to Beirut than to the Gulf.
