Babylon International Market

First time here and this store had so many items! The fresh bread was delicious and this new candy was amazing! Will definitely be back.

I’ve purchased from this market a few times for Greek yogurt-like base (plain, little to no flavor) to make homemade Tzatziki sauce at home and had no issue and they seem kind and helpful. But yesterday I noticed they were out of the brand I usually get to make my Tzatziki sauce so there was another brand in there and the guy said it would be perfectly fine to make tzatziki sauce with and I asked him was he sure and he said yes, so I purchased it and the I go home, open it and taste it, it has a sour-sweet taste like it’s supposed to be used to make parfaits. I called and asked if I could do a return or get store credit and they said no because I opened it. If you confidently recommend a product to someone for a specific dish and it’s not the correct item, why would you not accommodate for your mistake? That doesn’t make any sense and is bad business and now I’m out of the money I spent and didn’t get to make my meal how I needed to and i went out of my way to purchase an extra item because it looks family owned. Not cool. He was apologetic about the situation but that doesn’t make any sense.

This place is great! So many interesting things to try & we love the Dubai chocolate. The owners are so nice & Mahdi was super helpful at giving us recommendations. We will be back!!!

I highly recommend visiting Babylon International! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The store offers a fantastic variety of high-quality products at reasonable prices, making it easy to find something for every taste. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, providing excellent service that makes shopping a pleasure. This place has definitely become one of my favorite spots, and I strongly encourage everyone to check it out!

We loved this market!! My three kids and I drove over from West Knoxville just to explore and pick some things to try. I wanted some Middle Eastern spices that are hard to find elsewhere and to try the samoon they make fresh there. It was such a fun outing! They have so many unique and flavorful offerings. We arrived just as the samoon was done and got a bag of warm, pillowy bread we had to tear into the minute we got in the car. My daughter said she wished she could climb inside and sleep in it 😄 We also grabbed a Dubai chocolate bar. I love that Knoxville has a spot to try something so special and internationally beloved. It was, of course, delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

For months I’ve been seeing this viral Dubai chocolate on tiktok. I was on Reddit and saw they had them at this market in my city! Nice to have a taste of Dubai this chocolate is amazing. I will shop here again.

What an absolute gem and a treasure for Knoxville. An incredible array of anything you could possibly want or need. Fresh or canned food, a bakery, fresh meats, drinks, candy, snacks. But an absolute highlight is the viral Dubai chocolate. If you've been wanting to try it, no better way to get it than to support a local market. It is delicious, and it's nice to have it local instead of ordering it online. This is hands down my new favorite market in Knoxville.
