    Lentil Soup and pita
    Rebecca S.

    Love fresh food, love love love Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. The revamp of where an old Circle favorite was is perfect. Quality ingredients, not a fad just well prepared meals using familiar flavors but freshened to met dietary needs for seed sensitive individuals. I had the lentil soul and Oh WOW I mean so much flavor packed into the cup I probably made a scene practically using my pita to get every last savory bit.

    BYO 50/50 Bowl

    Stumbled upon this restaurant in the circle and WOW the food was so fresh and flavorful. The phone clearly did not eat first for the photo. My husband ordered the burger and that had great flavor but the BYO bowl is definitely the way to go. The spicy humus was one of my favorite things. Huge portions, fast service, fair price, lots of indoor seating and patio seating. The place gives off a family friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be making this place a staple in our rotation. Added bonus: they are seed oil free!

    BabaG is a build your bowl Mediterranean concept, similar to CAVA. Ordering is done at the front register, and after a short while they prepare your bowl and bring it out to your table. Unlike CAVA toppings are not unlimited, you are only limited to 4 here before they charge extra and you can't specify extra toppings like CAVA. BYO Salad Bowl ($18) - This came with a base of green lettuce, wish there was more variety in the greens like CAVA. I went with the chicken shawarma as my protein. Unfortunately it wasn't very tender and over cooked and dry in quite a few pieces. For my 4 toppings I went with cucumber, sumac onion, olives and crunchy garbanzo beans. Didn't care for the crunchy garbanzo beans, they were a little too hard. For my dips/sauces (limited to only 2) I went with hummus and baba ghanoush. Both were good. Overall the bowl was overpriced and costs 50% more than CAVA's bowl. CAVA offers unlimited toppings and more dips/sauces. I also thought the chicken shawarma could have been better. Service was friendly.

    Conveniently located near the "Circle" in the City of Orange with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Ordered a build your own chicken pita wrap -- it was huge and really good! Also had a build your own 1/2 salad 1/2 rice and chicken breast with hummus and garlic sauce -- so yummy. Street parking is a challenge during peak times with such a popular area.

    Definitely fell in love with the sweet eggplant side OMG. The beef and the sides were all tasty, the rice plate was able to be shared by 2 of us. Note: no pita unless you get as separate side or as a wrap. All in all, I would definitely go back and I'm NOT the biggest Mediterranean food fan.

    New restaurant right off of orange circle. You order at the front and they bring the food out to you. They have 10 tables on a small patio in the back as well as indoor seating. They don't offer reservations, but we had no problem finding seating for 6 on a Thursday at 12:30 for lunch. I got a bowl with rice and lettuce as the base, with chicken breast, hummus, baba ganoush, and an assortment of pickles. All the ingredients seemed very fresh. Chicken was on the dry side but when combined with the rice and toppings, it wasn't very noticeable. The sweet baba ganoush was different, I've never had a sweet version before but it was a nice twist. Service was very friendly with someone checking in on our table throughout the meal.

    Has been waiting for this place to open and forgot about it for awhile until I walked the circle. The cashier Chloe was extremely kind and answered my numerous questions about ingredients to accommodate my diet. I got the chicken shawarma plate and it was DELICIOUS! The place was very clean, warm, and inviting; I am coming back very soon!

    Let's say this, I support this place as it's a Christian faith based place. I would come here and enjoy some good food and vibes. Praise the lord.

    CRISPY SHAWARMA WRAP

    My entire instagram feed was filled with crispy shawarmas so my craving for them became a NEEEED. Thankfully I found this place and it satisfied my craving. 10/10 and a plus that it's seed oil free!!

    chicken shawarma salad bowl with crunchy garbanzo, pickled cabbage, cucumber, sumac onion, za'atar labneh, & tahini sauce

    I visited Baba G's on a Tuesday around 5 pm. I parked in a lot about a five-minute walk away. There were only a couple of other people inside when we arrived but more started coming in as we were getting ready to leave. There's plenty of seating, both inside & out in the back. I ordered the chicken shawarma salad bowl with crunchy garbanzo, pickled cabbage, cucumber, sumac onion, za'atar labneh, & tahini sauce, while my sister got a chicken shawarma rice bowl (I didn't catch which toppings she chose). I thought the chicken was well-seasoned, & I liked how nicely it paired with all the toppings I had. The portions were generous, but we were hungry, so there were no crumbs left by the time we were done. I appreciate that they're a 100% seed-oil-free restaurant. I would love to visit again!

    First time ordering takeout and it was absolutely fabulous. The hummus was Devine. The pita chips were so crunchy and full of seasoning. My mouth watered. Falafel's were amazing. Taboleh was so fresh. The cauliflower was also super incredible. The young girl that helped me was super kind. The place is super cute and loved the openness.

    I really enjoyed this place. I actually preferred it over Cava. The ingredients tasted clean and fresh, and the flavors were great. My husband had the loaded fries, and I ordered half rice and half salad,both were delicious and very satisfying. The only two things I wished I could've added to my meal were a couple small pieces of pita bread and some baklava, that would've made it perfect! Overall, a great experience and we'll definitely be back.

    Incredible food, even better service. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for keeping the Byblos vibe alive with a new and refreshed look. All we need is the lentil soup.

    Great team! Relaxed, Casual vibe. Cute indoor/outdoor decor. Fresh foods…read more GTG ceasar salad w/ chicken- Wow! The dressing has a little tang that brings all of the fresh fixins together. The chicken is cut perfectly into fully cooked bite size pieces. I wish I could get another one today. Philly Cheese Steak melt - Double Wow! All the fixins and marinated perfectly and the veggies are al dente so you get a nice melty crunch. Vanilla coconut latte - so refreshing! Parking is no problem. Great lunch spot!

They have so much variety of wraps, salads, burgers and bowls of high quality ingredients and at incredible prices. Service was super fast we ordered inside at the counter. Got our food super fast even though they had a lot of online orders and people inside. Ambiance was simple and relaxed like a fast food place. You can also order through uber eats, price a little bit higher but still super reasonable. We ordered to eat in the Hawaiian Ahi Poke and to go the Caesar Salad with Chicken. Bowls are big! Everything was delicious!! Wish San Diego had a Green Tomato Grill!!

    My second time in this gem. The entire staff super friendly, helpful. I noticed is very popular…read morewith locals and other business. The first time I order the Persian Bean & Noodles soup and the Mushroom Delight Sandwich. They vegetarian and Vegan options. Second time I order the Ultimate Veggie. The food is absolutely FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. Really really good. The bread and vegetables are super fresh, nothing fussy about adding extra charge for some pickles or banana peppers in your sandwich, like other places!!! The warm reception by the staff, the very helpful attention and willingness to make accommodation for special dietary restrictions was really nice. Their recommendation was spot on.. definitely I am returning to this place. Feels like you arrived at your nice neighbor kitchen and they make you feel welcome. Hopefully management can expand this to other locations. Don't come too often to Santa Ana, would like to see more of this nice Deli. Well sorry for those other "sandwich" franchise, but you have a REAL contender. Super nice ambiance, every customer looks like they are very satisfied... I am certainly very satisfied. Definitely 5 STARS
