  Dined here this morning with a gf. I enquired via email 2-3 weeks ago to book for the $49 bottomless brunch. I was forwarded a form that I had to sign along with my credit card details, which in turn was sent back to me to sign on the back (had only signed on the front). Walk in today just before 11, a bit overcast but we were hopeful of a spot in the sun on the rooftop, and there isn’t anyone here. Speak to concierge and apparently I don’t have a booking despite scanning and emailing 2 PDFS just to get the booking. After finally being seated by confused staff in a cute little booth we are given wrist bands and a bottle of Prosecco and juice. Neither tasted cheap, we were pleasantly surprised. Not long after a flurry of mezze is presented to the table and 90% is (gladly) vegetarian. The eggplant salad and cauliflower were divine, but nothing is as good as the bread and smoked butter. For the price, the food and drink experience was wonderful. The service left a little to be desired but I think if I were to visit again in 6 months this would surely improve. At $49 a person for food and bottomless mimosa, this is a win. Live music also added to the ambiance.

  Located on level 7 of Westfield Sydney (thus the rooftop location). It can be tricky to get up to but aim for level 5 food court and you will find signage to either catch a lift or escalators up there. The service is friendly and helpful. We decided to share the dishes amongst us. Started off with Hummus which was creamy and tasty. Accompanied by House Made Bread (which once ordered is replenished constantly). It is a nice bread but probably would’ve preferred a flat bread as got quite full from it. We then had Shish Tawook which were chicken skewers with tabbouleh, tomato, and yoghurt. Lovely dish. The Whole Wood Fired Chicken was succulent and went well with the toum, greens, and pickles. The Wood Fired Octopus was nice too. Came with a refreshing mungbean and pomegranate salad. The Kumpur, Sebago was a baked potato filled with a creamy sauce that contained kashar cheese and wood fired corn. It went well with the chicken but probably too much for us after the eating the aforementioned bread. Great spot in the city for some upmarket Turkish food.

  Service has a few rough patches but quite good. Meals are 2 to 3 times costlier than that of a quality Turkish or Lebanese restaurant but not 2 or 3 times better. Wine list excellent but very expensive. Beer list needs lots of improving. More local craft beer is needed instead of industrial imports.

  I didn’t even know Westfield CBD had a seventh floor, but Lai Heng told me it’s new. Head Chef Arman Uz, from the restaurant Efendy, uses influences from Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and Egypt, presenting a menu of dishes to be shared, divided into vegetarian, meat, seafood and desserts.

  Bit of a strange location on the very top floor (level 7) of the Westfield Sydney building. Once inside this 800 person capacity restaurant is split into 2 dining rooms, outdoor terrace (serving a condensed bar menu), indoor casual booths and a number of private dining rooms varying in sizes. The fit out is spectacular. Different marbles, leathers, timbers and luxe fabrics combine to create a thoroughly modern but warm and moody aesthetic. The food is Turkish/middle Eastern derived and presented beautifully. Everything I ate was beautiful, with dishes containing just the right amount of acidity without being overbearing. The smoked butter was a highlight. Prices are reasonable for a more upmarket restaurant. Our lunch was under $300 for 2 adults and 2 children including wine and Cocktails.

  Babylon Rooftop is conveniently located in Westfield Sydney and it’s a huge restaurant with chic interiors of dusty pink and orange velvet.On the night we went the service was slow and haphazard and disappointingly not very helpful.The dishes we ordered were okay but nothing really stood out except for the heirloom tomato salad with Persian feta. It was delicious but it’s not a difficult dish. Even the desserts were so so.Will I be back? I might give it another chance as I do love Turkish inspired food. #babylon
