This place is absolutely fantastic! The baba is so refreshing and delicious, you can taste the top tear quality ingredients in every bite. The lamb shawarma is also superb. If you haven’t tried Baba’s yet I highly recommend making it a priority.

I got the beef combo taste was good on freshness of vegetables, personally had not a lot of meat in mine. French fries frozen not bad or anything but a bit pricey for it all. $16 for it.

Baba’s is a true hidden gem. The owner is the kindest man who makes you feel like family in his home. He always has a smile and greets you with his friendly “Hello”! The food is outstanding and we love trying something new each time. The soups are comforting and the wraps with the garlic sauce are so full of flavor!! The pickles are so unique and we always buy a side order because we can’t get enough!

★★★★★ 5.0 Naomi Hasan · Jul 2025

We ordered the chicken shawarma rice plate and lamb kabob wrap with fries. The flavors were thoughtful and vibrant: tangy sumac sprinkled over creamy hummus and babaganoush, perfectly charred onions in the wrap, and the garlic sauce? Chef’s kiss! Loved the pickled cabbage and crunchy pickles alongside everything. The wrap was a little messy but that’s what they make napkins for! The pita was a little overdone and they quickly brought out a fresh batch. Nasir, the owner was so kind and attentive - it genuinely felt like being welcomed into my own baba’s home. The decor is simple and meaningful with beautiful photos from Palestine and the region. We’ll definitely be back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Charles Donaldson · Dec 2024

A much needed, homemade place to eat off the main highway. We had the chicken shawarma, hummus, pita, lentil soup and falafel. The hummus was the star, homemade with olive oil and sumac. The lentil soup was also hot, tasty, and filling. Don’t mind the rough decor, the food is worth it.
