    We decided to visit Haji Baba tonight for Middle Eastern food for our dinner. I have not been to this restaurant since before Covid, but I was happy to find the quality of the food was still excellent. My fair for tonight was lamb. Shish kebab, my wife's was chicken Kebab and our friend had falafel. Plates are always full and food is always very good. The lamb was extremely tasty and tender as was the chicken kebab. My friend really enjoyed her falafels. The rice was fluffy and tasty. I wish the salad would've had some feta cheese on it, but that may be asking for too much. Service is with a smile and when you're finished, you can always go to the other side and go grocery shopping. I definitely give this restaurant a thumbs up.

    Wow, wish I visited sooner. Half market, half restaurant establishment. Food was incredible & you can get a lot of imported stuff from snacks to spices. Staff is kind and has a sense of humor. Prices here are super reasonable also. Honestly nothing bad to say. Kibbi - comes in a square, not too crumbly but soft. I liked the pine nuts in there, thought it might've been too crunchy but pretty soft and mixed well with the kibbi Kabab Koubideh - phenomenal. Wish it came with more pita, but I'd eat this straight up as a plate too. Rice is lightly seasoned, kabab is grilled well and still juicy. I've had my fair share of dry kebabs so this was a welcome surprise. Yogurt salad was refreshing also. I wish this came with a veggie salad but not much bad I can say about this. Chicken shawarma - chicken is done so well. For $6 it's so well priced and one of the better chicken shawarmas I've ever had. Pomegranate juice - we used to grow pomegranates in the backyard, and I'd frequently squeeze my own. This tasted pretty similar, though maybe a bit diluted since pomegranate juice is quite strong Rose water lemonade - fun novelty. First sip, you get a lot of the rose water. It's pleasant, but not a big fan of the aftertaste. If you haven't had it I'd recommend.

    This place is hands down amazing! It smells amazing when you walk in. The owner and staff are super friendly! The gyro meat is super tender, the tzatziki is perfect! The chicken is amazing, I'm jealous I didn't get it, I'm in love with the garlic sauce that comes on it. The hummus is amazing and I'm picky with hummus! Bonus: this place has a little mini mart full of cool items!
