The Babylon Lounge in Salt Lake wears a creative design and has a mouth-watering menu. The restaurant attempts to combine history in a contemporary setup.
There is a wide variety to choose from when it comes to food. Think Italian, Continental and Indian. Some of their specialties include Afghan Sula Tangdi Kebab, Citrus Herb Crusted Gamberi, and New Zealand Lamb Shank. Their baklava tastes great too. Besides, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, there’s a large selection of vegan items like Spinach Gorgonzola and a soup that is good for the soul called Fungo Cappuccino with Balsamic Caviar.
The Telegraph dropped by.
The ornamental lighting and the walls are eye-catchers. Inspired by Babylon, they feature brick carvings that have been done by hand and have paintings that remind you of an era gone by
