Great service! The waiter was so friendly and informed me about the culture. The staff were willing to answer questions about the food. Highly recommend trying the coffee. Very delicious. Nice boost of caffeine. Their bread is fantastic! Love this place.

SAL★★★★★

Excellent Kurdish lunch! Had the dowjik soup, beef kabobs, and sheik Babani (eggplant stuffed with meat). Meat is halal. Each dish was super flavorful and different - we felt like we got a great variety. Baklava was a bit soft (prefer it crispy) but quite tasty. Lady serving was friendly and efficient and helped with recommendations. Atmosphere is relaxed and homey. A great visit and would definitely recommend this place!

Babani's is a cozy restaurant tucked away in Saint Paul, and it has been on my list of places to try for some time. Enter the space and you'll be greeted with warm rich colors, Kurdish decor, and a relaxing atmosphere. On Saturdays they are open from 2 to 7:30, and when I walked in there were already people here for late lunches and early dinners. I was promptly greeted and taken to my seat. Throughout my visit the staff was attentive and sweet - she checked on me often, which I appreciated. I ordered the Bajan Reshk for my appetizer, and my, was it delightful. Something you'll notice about Ba

I’ve lived just up the road from this hidden gem for 3 years, and tonight was the first time I finally stopped to check it out. I’m sad that I missed out on 3 years of having this delicious food! Every single thing I tasted was incredibly fresh and packed full of flavor! I especially loved the Tanyata salad and Naska Nan We Paneer. The people who served me were very kind and patient with answering all my questions. Food came out quickly, too! I will definitely be returning and will recommend this amazing place to others!
