    Steak and shrimp plate added kofta
    Vanknee K.

    Had a chance to try out this place. Nice little shop. I ordered the steak and shrimp plate that came with rice and a salad I added kofta. Oh and it came with hummas and peta bread. To drink I had the clearly Canadian. The guy that helped me was super nice and friendly. Very helpful answered all of my questions (I was super hungry and couldn't make up my mind what I wanted so I asked lots of questions lol) everything was really good. What stood out to me the most was the rice! Of all things right? Well let me tell u. It was cooked perfectly and very well seasoned. I mean the steak and shrimp was good it's what its expected from a Mediterranean place (the owner is from Jordan btw) and the hummus was hummusing salad was very fresh and the kofta was VERY juicy cooked too perfectly. Usually when I order kofta it's very dry. Over all I would definitely comeback and try their other stuff.

    Went there for the first time this past weekend let me tell you the food was very tasty! Friendly and helpful staff. We took our 11 year-old boys and they loved it also.

    I'm so glad Manny's connected with Baba's! I loved their menu and food at their location in Paramount. And they've carried it over and collabed with Baba's. This was my first visit since they've opened at this new location. My friend and I ordered the chicken kabob plate. Delish! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, as were the sautéed veggies. The pita and hummus were excellent. And the sauces! I also love their filet mignon burrito, but my fav is the crunch wrap with rib eye! So, so good! And you gotta try their potatoes with the cilantro sauce. You won't be disappointed! Check them out! You're gonna love it. Thank you, Manny's, for joining with Baba's! And the customer service is excellent!

    Located on Long Beach Boulevard and Willow in Long Beach, Baba's Cuisine was previously a catering business that specialized in falafel and hummus, so I knew that their falafel pita sandwich was one of their signature items. I visited a week ago and had a suboptimal experience from my door dash order; however, they asked me to come back to try the menu as intended, and I felt that my falafel sandwich today was far, far better. Their falafel sandwich features their vegan-friendly, gluten-free, house made falafel with their blend of herbs, and spices. Unlike my previous experience, the sandwich was balanced with crispy cucumbers, tart pickles, hummus, and tahini. I also recommend their red sauce if you like spicy heat that resembles sambal oelek and their green chile sauce if you like your heat and flavor to come from serranos, garlic, and cilantro. The falafel was freshly fried, fluffy, and delicious. Make sure you get it fully loaded because it's not enjoyable without the creamy sauces, the cool and crispy cucumbers, and the tart pickles. My work is local to this business, and I will definitely be back with colleagues to try their beef kebab plate, which is affordable at $10.99 for a sandwich (with one kebab) or a plate for $17.99 (with two kebabs). For this review to be updated to five stars, what I'm looking for is consistency of experience during the lunch hours, I'm looking for how they do with catering orders, and I'm genuinely looking forward to trying their meat plates! I think that this community needs affordably priced Mediterranean options and I'm glad they're here on Long Beach Blvd and Willow. Support the business if you live/work locally! Instead of using door dash, I'd recommend phoning in your order so that your pickup order goes quickly and so that you can get the best prices.

    Tried this place for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food and loved it! We got a warm welcoming from Mani. He was very friendly and polite to us. The chicken and beef shawarma was amazing, and the homemade potato appetizer was packed with fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces. Thank you so much, highly recommend checking them out!

    Today my daughters and I decided to give Baba's a try since we previously wanted to try Manny's in Paramount since it burned down and didn't get the chance to try it talking to a friend she mentioned that they had another location in Long Beach and since I grew up in Long Beach we decided to support them by trying out their dishes and we were blown out by the delicious food rich in flavor the gentleman in the front was super nice and attentive and gave us an excellent service high five to the cook it was chefs kiss ‍ the chicken was juicy and it really felt like homemade fresh food we would definitely come back.

    Ribeye over fries

    Google Review Baba's Mediterranean is an easy 5 stars. Manny is solid. You can tell he genuinely cares about the food he serves and takes pride in the recipes he puts together. The service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered the Ribeye Fries, and every part of the dish was on point. It's a simple concept, but every element worked perfectly together. Manny also brought out water with lemon and three house-made sauces that were all amazing. The garlic sauce was packed with flavor, the spicy chipotle sauce was a banger, and the green sauce was incredible--you'd never believe it's made with zucchini. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. This is the kind of place where you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. I'll definitely be back and can already see myself becoming a regular. Yelp Review Some restaurants have good food. Some have good service. Baba's Mediterranean has both. Manny made the experience. He's passionate about what he does and was happy to explain the food, the sauces, and the thought behind everything. That kind of hospitality is getting harder to find these days. I went with the Ribeye Fries and was seriously impressed. Every component of the dish was done right and complemented each other perfectly. Nothing felt thrown together. You could tell it was made fresh and with intention. The standout surprise was the sauces. The garlic sauce was rich and flavorful, the chipotle sauce had the perfect kick, and the green sauce was ridiculously good. When Manny mentioned it was made with zucchini, I honestly couldn't believe it. The food, the service, and the attention to detail all stood out. Places like this deserve support. Looking forward to trying more of the menu because if the Ribeye Fries are any indication, you really can't miss here.

    Potatoes in cilantro sauce - so good .

    Omg the food is delicious! Service is great , you are greeted as you enter , I didn't catch the person name who helped us with food selection but he was very nice . Place is small very clean , plenty of light . Parking is not the best other option is park behind building, if you blink you will miss this great location.

    Chicken kabob plate

    The best plate I've ever had! Everything was seasoned perfectly, the chicken was so tender, the rice was moist and flavorful, the salad had a good mix of veggies and feta. The service was also amazing and they're so nice! Highly recommend

Everything was going normally until I got to the sauce options at the end. The employee asked if I wanted barbecue sauce or hot sauce. I didn't hear her clearly at first and said "mild," and she responded in an irritated tone that it was either barbecue sauce or hot sauce. I told her I had never seen the barbecue sauce before and asked what it looked like. She repeatedly just said "it looks like barbecue sauce" instead of simply showing it to me or explaining it. I even asked if she could show me the sauce, and she still responded dismissively and seemed annoyed that I was asking basic questions before deciding what I wanted on my food. What made the interaction worse was that there wasn't even a line or rush happening at the time. I wasn't trying to hold anything up -- I just wanted to know what I was ordering. The receipt listed the employee name as "Estuardo," although the employee helping me was a woman, so the register name may not match the actual employee. I'm leaving this review as constructive feedback because a little patience and friendliness goes a long way with customers.

So.. Mediterranean/ Arab type food... have I had it before? Not quite really but we stopped by this place and I snapped a photo but quite can't remember the name but I know it's kebab and something else like beef as medium - and one thing I was taught by the SoCal homie is get your steak medium, or medium rare if you fancy - and not chicken as a main .. dish but maybe as a side. And from what I was told Mediterranean food is kinda healthy. I straight up devoured this plate clean and it was delicious. Very delicious and yes I'm back in NorCal and I couldn't find anything near me that compares so I'd have to go out of town. But this experience and food here at open sesame is worth stopping by for good eats. And when we were done the waitress asked if we'd like to rinse our hands- she got this wand of some sort out and sprinkled it and the water had some scent. Now that's world class customer service and surely tip well generously. I plan to come to visit Long Beach every summer to get out from the hellfire 100+ degree heat in the Central Valley in Stockton and then damn mosquitoes- and likely we will dine here again!

    I had such a great experience at Galata Turkish Halal Restaurant & Grill! We started off with a few…read moreappetizers, and honestly, that might have been one of my favorite parts of the meal. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. We ordered crispy potatoes, falafel and icli kofte. The service was also great from beginning to end. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without making us feel rushed. That always makes such a difference when you're trying a new spot. The food was full of flavor, the portions were nice, and overall the whole experience felt warm and inviting. Definitely a great Long Beach find, especially if you're looking for good Turkish food and a place where you can order a bunch of things for the table and just enjoy. I'll definitely be back -- there are already a few things on the menu I want to come back and try!

The lamb chops were the star of the meal--perfectly seasoned, savory, juicy, and beautifully grilled with that fresh, smoky barbecue flavor. The hummus was a 10/10: silky smooth, topped with whole chickpeas, and full of rich, authentic flavor. The rice deserves its own mention. It was light, fluffy, buttery, and perfectly cooked--not sticky at all. Paired with the fresh salad, it balanced the meal perfectly. For drinks, the sorbet drink was so refreshing, and the pomegranate tea was outstanding with bright, fruity notes that made it the perfect way to end the meal. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. Sitting outside on the sidewalk felt cozy and romantic, and the decor inside genuinely made me feel like I was back in Turkey. The restaurant is spotless (including the restrooms), and the customer service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. If you're looking for authentic Turkish and Mediterranean food in Long Beach, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back for those lamb chops!
