A new international grocery store called Babylon Market (635-9632) opened recently at 2427 N Academy Blvd., just south of the intersection of Academy Blvd. and Maizeland Rd. Raed Salih, the Iraqi-born owner and former translator for the Marines, says he mainly carries items from the Middle East and North Africa, including Turkey, Iran and Egypt. The space is divided into a Middle Eastern market and in store eatery. The Gazette wrote that the eatery features beef and lamb kebabs, falafel and gyros with a subtle Iraqi spin to slightly differentiate them from familiar versions. The store also carries both light and dark Iraqi teas and strong Turkish coffee. The store opens at 10 a.m.
