Inspired by the current state of the job market, “Broke and Hungry” is the much anticipated series on this blog focusing solely on dining out on the cheap. On this inaugural post, I will venture ten blocks from home to the inconspicuous Mediterranean delight, Babylon Café.
Right under my nose this whole time, I had always skipped Babylon Café, instead picking up some Mona’s or Lebanon’s when the mood strikes for chicken schwarma. Luckily, after asking a friend from my hood where he goes for an inexpensive dinner, I was sent here and told to order any of their sandwiches on homemade bread.
The place is never as busy as the other Mediterranean joints in town, probably because it’s not on the busy Carrolton Ave. It’s a shame too, because the chicken schwarma is easily the best in town. Juicy, flavored just right and piled high on soft homemade bread with fresh romaine. Coupled with a spinach filo and you’ve got dinner for less than ten bucks, including tax and tip. It’s a no-brainer for those busy weeknights when you’re already so hungry you can’t even decide what to eat.
Looking forward to more from this series!
ReplyDeleteWay cheaper and better than Byblos.
