I feel like this place is underrated. Meal I had today was really really good. Still taste the garlic if the sauce and the side of that chicken dinner dish. But the peanut stew and cauliflower linger not in garlicky taste, but in interest and delicious in my memory. Also nice service and ambience. read more

Baba NEVER disappoints! I have visited 6 times and every dish I have loved and craved after. The decor and layout of the restaurant provides a nice ambiance. The hummus, baba ghanoush, crispy falafel, smoke salmon latkes... it's all wonderful! My absolute favorite cocktail is the Blackberry Parfait. I hope Baba is around for the long haul read more

Food, service and ambiance are all great, all of the time. Best Kofta and Mac n Cheese. read more

OMG! Rarely does a dish do it for me like these eggplant fries rom Baba's. They take eggplant, use it as a canvas for flavor and texture, and brought ours out hot. Garlicky, salty, w tang from the peppers, touches of spice, just a hint of sweetness. These are really good. So is the stuffed pita. Hot pillowy dough and tasty meat filling - this is comfort food. Like snuggling under your favorite comforter w your favorite person comfortable. Seriously. Did not like the smoked skewered chicken though it was going to be really tough to follow either of the above. The rubbery looking chicken was served cold, atop cold barley? w various mix ins ranging from mint to raisins in a mayo? Based dressing? w half the plate covered by mayo (aioli?) and a sweet sauce. We left it. Almost docked a star- or even two, but feel like we ordered the wrong thing. This is a well executed dining experience. read more

First visit here, and the food was amazing. I'm sad it's taken me so long to try this place. We ordered the hummus to start, and it was fantastic. Had a small plate of the warmed olives, which was delicious. For our entrees we had Falafel and Kofta Kebab, which were both very tasty. The deserts were AMAZING- we ordered 2, the Lebanese Ice Cream and the coffee crème custard, which was so incredibly delicious. Great cocktail menu also- everything sounded so good, and it was hard to pick what to try, but I had the smoky mezcal drink which was great. Service was great, food great, ambiance great. No complaints, we'll be back for sure. read more

The most amazing food and evening out with our Zag!! Loved loved loved the Mezze plate of hummus etc., the bread (for the hummus) was absolutely the freshest and authentic, Israeli salad, Kofta Kebabs, Kawarma, and smoked/bbq chicken skewers!! We devoured it all! I highly recommend Baba; it won't disappoint! read more

Take this review with a grain of salt. I'm generally not a fan of Mediterranean food. I don't seek it out, and I've never had something so outstanding as to challenge this long held opinion. Still, as we are all dynamic and ever-evolving human beings, I'll venture every so often to revisit my long-standing preferences and, in this case, have them re-confirmed. It's fine. Portions are small and you'll want to eat again in 2 - 3 hours. Burger was great but WET and the fries were honestly the best part. Outstanding french fries go figure. Whipped feta w pita was yummy. Deviled eggs had me scratching my head; did not work well IMHO. Go during happy hour and enjoy food when it's relatively cheap. Drinks are batshit expensive at any hour but tasty if your wealthy uncle is buying. Service was attentive but none-too-friendly, which I had to try not to read as pretention. read more

First off, this place has a really great atmosphere. The decor, lights, seating were all really awesome. Our service was great too. Everyone was super friendly and helpful as we checked out the menu. The food was excellent. We really enjoyed everything we got. They even had a Chai Old Fashioned that was probably one of the best drinks I've ever had. It was a bit speedy, a lot more than we had planned for our date night, but that's what we get with the Chai Old Fashioned I suppose. Overall, we'll probably come back. Definitely for happy hour though. read more

Such a great place to eat with AWESOME food! Chicken and lamb dishes are GREAT! Service was very helpful and on top of everything!

Where do I even begin?! Food-wise, this might be my new favorite restaurant in Spokane. I got a peek inside the restaurant while picking up my order and it has a nice ambience. All the dishes I got were packed neatly into boxes and traveled well. They took about 30 min to prepare my order. I ordered the baba ghanoush, pan seared falafel, ribeye steak skewers, and lamb shank tagine. Everything tasted INCREDIBLE. The baba ghanoush had this really nice lemon-y tang to it and came with the most fluffy pita I have ever seen. My only complaint is that I wish it came in bigger portions! The falafel were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The ribeye skewers were equally delicious. They came with potatoes that were also perfectly crispy yet so soft on the inside. And the lamb... cooked perfectly and overall just an amazing dish. So impressed with this place and can't wait to go back! read more

Had to bring the husband to try out Baba. Just happened to get there for happy hour. I just love how this restaurant reminds me of a lazy day in Europe, eating on the patio, without pressure from waiters. I had the roasted strawberry tabouli and the baba burger, the husband had the clam and lamb with a glass of rosé. After stealing my fries, he said "Moules-frites!" Close enough! I love Baba's interpretation of American comfort food especially how it marries with Mediterranean cuisine. read more

Lamb hash and Benedict were excellent for brunch . Would definitely recommend! I went here quite awhile ago and wasn't that impressed; I'm coming back for more now. read more

The food was very good abd fresh. Service was fast and courteous. We went for happy hours and we had 7 dishes to share with 3 people. We all felt full after. The ambiance is very nice also. The area seems to be up and upcoming. We went on Friday 3 30 pm and we would see more and more people as we were leaving. read more

Me and my loved ones came here for my graduation dinner and everything was great, from the ambiance to the service and the attention to detail. We all ordered different things so we can all share and have a bit of everything and absolutely nothing disappointed. Their Turkish Mac N' Cheese was to die for and their potatoes were immaculate. I'm a big foodie so I vouch for them when I say everything was great. I ordered the lamb and the sauce was great, worth every cent. I'll definitely will be coming in again for the Mac N' Cheese alone. Definitely recommend. It is pricey though so unless you have that kind of money, to me, it's more of like a "special occasion" type of place but definitely good. read more

I have eaten here twice. The food is excellent in every way! The food is definitely quirky and interesting. Everything I have tried so far has been very tasty. The decor is very well done. The wait staff is very nice and professional. My only down check so far is, I had the baba burger, and while it was very good, the bread and meet started falling apart while I was eating it. I had to switch to a fork read more

Great food and atmosphere. Great location. Pricey, but good for a nice night out. Would go to again.

All I can say is WOW! My husband and I went to Baba wanting to try something new for dinner and we were blown away. This upscale spot was perfect for date night or with family or friends. We ordered the eggplant fries, the Sirloin Skewer, and the Baba Burger. All were delicious and perfectly cooked, the sauces and tastes were perfectly balanced and the food was hot and arrived pretty quickly. Prices mid level and reasonable, the burger and fries being $15. They were really busy so it took a little bit to be seated but totally worth the wait and friendly service. We will be back to try more dishes! read more

Looking for a dinner spot after our stroll through the Riverfront Park, we decided on Baba as we haven't had Mediterranean food in a while and this was close by. There was no wait on a Thursday night around 8pm. We ordered a lamb dish and the Turkish Mac and Cheese. The lamb dish was delicious - very flavorful but a little bit on the saltier side. The Turkish Mac and Cheese was also good but nothing out of the ordinary imo. We didn't order any drinks but they had some interesting looking drinks on their cocktail menu. read more

Not too familiar with Mediterranean food, but was pleasantly surprised with the variety of dishes. Very tasty, with my favorite being the lamb and clams! Our party shared all of the dishes and there was plenty to go around. Large portion sizes and delicious food all around. Price was modest as well! Will definitely go back to try other menu items. read more

Absolutely amazing service and incredible food. This is my new favorite restaurant in Spokane. The flavors and presentation of the food were stunning. Favorites for this trip were hummus and garlic and chicken skewers with potatoes. I completely cleaned my plate. Can't wait to go back and try the mezze plate and other entrees. Really enjoyed the roasted chicken platter too! read more

The restaurant is beautiful but all 3 times we went, our food was bland, dishes were served incomplete, the restaurant was definitely understaffed, ( understandable during the current climate) however the servers were rude & lacking in friendly customer service skills. Super sad, was really hoping for better. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I checked out Baba with a group of 7. It was so good. Particular call out to the deviled eggs and the roasted cauliflower. The two things I did not think I would enjoy that much ended up being my favorite! read more

2nd time at this restaurant and round up the review to 5 stars. I forgot to capture the 3rd dish. Ratings are given based on spokane standard. read more

I love Baba. Seriously go there just about every weekend. Never had a bad dish or service. Super relaxed atmosphere. I dream about their labneh toast. read more

Happy hour food was excellent. The only issue is they were severely understaffed, which is a common theme in the industry these days. Eat the deviled eggs. The sauce that came with pita (schug) was to die for. I need more schug in my life.... The kabobs were ok but dry. Donut dessert thing was awesome and I'm not even a dessert fan! Would go again. read more

I really regret my dining experience here. This place is a perfect example of style over substance. The food overall was just too oily, salty, and too many competing flavors. I ordered the following starters: Wine- tasted horrible and like it's been sitting out unopened for a long time Deviled eggs- they were decent Falafel-good Mezze plate: humus had too much tahini, vegetables too oily, and the pita had bites so salty I started coughing and had to chug water I ordered the lamb for a main: It wasn't super tender but was pretty fatty Staff weren't overly friendly and seemed super bored Would highly not recommend- unfortunate waste of money read more

So I am going to start off by saying that I placed an order through grubhub and the food that I received, that I ordered was delish. The only problem is that the order came wrong. I ordered the cauliflower schnitzel sandwich, the crispy falafel and the fatoush salad. I ordered all sauces on the side because I planned to eat it later on an airplane. The sandwich was great as well as the smashed potatoes on the side! The two sauces that should have been on it came on the side like I requested. I did eat half the sandwich right away and it was great! The falafel was also so good! But It came with no sauces. So that was a bit of a disappointment. I asked for them to also be on the side so the falafel would not become soggy and instead they just came with none. Lastly I ordered a fatoush salad that I was looking the most forward to but they sent the freekah salad. It was the salad with grains, pistachios and some other things that was not good in my opinion. Looked like a bunch of mush, needed salt and was not what I was looking for! I would love to try the fatoush salad the next time I am here if they can send it correctly! Overall what I received was great! And the grub hub driver said they were so busy and only had one cook at the time. So I understand being short staffed during Covid, I just wish I received what I ordered! read more

The food was incredible and so was the staff. Wished we lived closer to experience this more!

Stopped by with a group of friends for appetizers and drinks. We were promptly seated. We liked sharing the small plates. Food was tasty and we appreciated that there were vegan options. Plenty of drink selections. The restaurant was not full, but our server made very few appearances. We would have ordered more food and drinks, if we had been checked on more often. I do understand that staffing is a problem in the current environment, but I am not sure if they would have been able to handle a full house. read more

This place was a revelation! Every small dish was thoughtfully and creatively made. The warm olives plate with garlic, almond, and lemon was decadently rich, especially on that house-made warm pita bread. I really enjoyed the fluffy honey whipped feta plate, also spreadable on pita. Their grilled salmon kebab was so tender and beautifully cooked. The African peanut soup was just the right combination of sweet and salty, though less soupy and more paste-like. Overall, the food was just spectacular! The space was upgraded and clean and the Mediterranean themed wall murals were very pretty. It's convenient that it's so close to nearby bars and ice cream! read more

The restaurant was very warm and inviting. The wait staff was very kind and attentive. The kitchen made me a dip that wasn't on the brunch menu. The kitchen went above and beyond and he didn't have to. read more

Fantastic new addition in Kendall Yards! Visited a few weeks ago with some friends and got to sit outside on the patio under the string lights - made for such a relaxing and cozy atmosphere. We tried multiple items on the menu and ate "family style" and I could not recommend this enough. With the variety of different food options offered, all of which sounded delicious, ordering multiple dishes gave everyone the chance to try new dishes! Loved the falafel and meatballs - tons of flavor and the paired tzatziki sauce was creamy and had a plethora of herbs. The drinks were fabulous - beautifully presented, tasted fresh, and were fairly priced. Will be back soon! read more

Baba restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Spokane, Washington

If Baba Ganoush came out of a jar, I think this is what it would taste like. This is the saltiest restaurant I've eaten so far in Spokane with large specks of salt on top of everything. I understand that this is first and foremost a bar so salt makes the beer go down better, but I think serving a salt level to the patrons would've been nice (no salt? dash salt? regular chunky salt?). Fried chicken did not entail much fried chicken but actually chicken skin. ----yes, just chicken skin. I was searching for my chicken meat all night and it could not be found. Now one star for the lamb skewer which was actually decent, tender and adequately seasoned. Another star for our wonderful waitress. read more

I had the pita and hummus as an appetizer and the pomegranate salmon as my main dish. I am trying to recall if I have ever had a better meal than this. Absolutely an AMAZING restaurant. From my first bite of the pita and hummus, to my first bite of the rice, the flavors were absolutely dynamite. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody. Hats off to the chef and his faithful wife who has traveled this journey with him. A lovely dining experience and meal. You can change the world with restaurants like these...... read more

This place was very amazing. The food was top notch and so was the service. I can't recommend this place enough

Unique ,perfectly executed Mediterranean-influenced fare, with a carefully tended cocktail bar. Wild mushroom topped, savory hummus plate served with warm, puffy house-made pita is an example of one of their great starters. We ordered a dozen small plates for our party of five to share, and every one of them was excellent. Cool modern space and ambience that gets lively on busy nights. read more
