Baba's is the place! Unassuming food spot with great service, food, flavors and casual yet homey decor. We were attending a friend's event nearby and wanted to grab dinner before hand. And we discovere Baba's and their many options for both of us. Babe eats just about anything but doesn't always enjoy certain Greek dishes and while I'm more limited being vegan I love Mediterranean and Greek style dishes. And let me tell yo Baba's has it all! We went with items from their Greek Burritos and Platters sections. He did a shawarma platter and I had the vegan falafel burrito. We discussed how we didn't know how to pronounce Gyros properly and out food came out pretty promptly. My burrito took a little longer and came with a red tortilla, tomato based and sliced potatoes. It was amazing and loaded with flavors. Their garlic sauce and pastes are 10/10. I think among the two of us we had all their sauces on the table including Cilantro Sauce, Habanero Hot Sauce and tzatziki (which is yogurt based). You can enjoy Appetizers, Salads, Loaded Greek Fries, Burgers, The Greek Crunch (wraps), Gyros, Burritos (Greek Cali or Greek style), and Platters. I'm not sure if they do any desserts here, but they have a good variety of bottled or canned beverages, from water to juice and sodas. It's very fast casual - order and pay up front and seat yourself with some table service. They do a good amount of takeout orders as we saw some get called in and/or picked up. They offer delivery as well. Open from 11AM until 9PM every day of the week. Baba's is an absolute treat! We already agreed to come back soon.

Parking: few parking spaces in front, kind of feels like I'm driving on the sidewalk though haha Ambience: cozy, authentic Service: 10/10 the sweetest people! Food: 8.7/10 the chicken was very tasty! 6/10 vegan burger was pretty fried and not too much to my liking Price: good price for good portion Rating: Overall thoughts: service was worth coming again and I'd love to try more things!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

My first time here, and I'm so glad I tried it! I ordered the Greek chicken kabob with Greek salad, rice, hummus, and pita bread, and everything was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and tender, the hummus was creamy, and the salad was fresh. I also really enjoyed the rice and warm pita, it all came together as a very satisfying meal. Great first experience, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu! read more

First time trying Baba's Cuisine, we ordered two plates for pick up, the mixed shawarma platter, which comes with beef and chicken, and the Filet Mignon + Shrimp Platter. The rice was seasoned well, nice and fluffy. The hummus with the pita was great and the small side salad helped to cut into the richness of the platter. All the sauces on the side were really good, I don't have the names but the sort of yellow one was quite spicy, in a great way. The only issue we had was with the shrimp on my platter, it tastes either old or frozen but everything else was great! read more

What can I say if your hungry your best bet is to give BABAs cuisine a shot cause i can vouch for them and if you disagree youll see me walking around the area just let me know your thoughts on the food ‍ The Grilled Chicken Seasoned chicken pieces resting on a bed of seasoned rice is so delicious plus the mix of chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and crumbled feta cheese is a great side then you get to the Creamy hummus garnished with a lime wedge and a folded pita on top. I mean what more could you ask for read more

Sometimes you have to trek the unbeaten path to find something worth stopping for. Baba's is just that place. A bit of Amman in Long Beach. Lucky us. Unassuming and over delivers. We had the Kofta plate. Hummus delicious, nice greek salad, and three sauces that complimented the meal well. Kofta was tender, delicious and authentic. The chicken Shawarma sandwich was delicious. Meat well seasoned, tender and good to the last bite. They brought us a side dish of sliced potatoes with a cilantro feta sauce that rocked. We were stuffed. Service was great. Meal provided a good value and absolutely delicious. We will be back to try other specialties. Baba's is not to be missed. read more

We usually avoided Mediterranean restaurants, because the flavors have been meh. Baba's has completely changed our minds about this and set the bar high for what it should taste like. We got the platters (beef shawarma and shrimp kebab), which were large portions and should have had leftovers, but they were so good, we managed to eat it all. Highly recommended restaurant!!! read more

Tried it out for lunch. I was going to order the Falafel Plate as it came with "your selection of sides". So I asked what my choices were. I was picturing hummus, tabouli, etc. Instead, my question confused the friendly man behind the cash register. I had to point him to the place where the menu talked about sides. He said something about being able to substitute fries for rice. I decided to play it safe and ordered a falafel sandwich instead. It was pretty good though not close to those Sababa Falafel in Garden Grove serves up. Oh well. read more

We went in the evening, and it was quiet inside, but service was quick. The food was delicious!! We got the combo plate with chicken, beef shawarma, and shrimp. The rice was flavorful. I loved the hummus and garlic sauce!! My favorite protein was the chicken. The owner was so nice, he gave us some baklava on the house. Even that was yummy, perfectly sweet, and nutty! read more

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 during the warmer days, you may want to weigh out whether you prefer cooking your own food or if you want air conditioning. The food here is very delicious! We had the moo package which is primarily beef. There were various appetizers to try and the package was more than enough for 5 of us. Ambiance is pretty relaxed, you get your usuals or people new to KBBQ. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, happy to explain anything so you don't have to be a KBBQ pro to dine here. The service is good, better when it's busier since they check in more frequently. When it's slower you may have less check-in's from the staff, probably due to less staff during slower hours. There IS parking in the rear but the spaces can be kind of tight so finding parking truly depends on the time of day you go. Overall, I am never disappointed here and I recently brought someone here who wasn't a fan of KBBQ and this experience won him over. I even got promised to be brought back again! Definitely worth making a visit, highly recommend.

Very intriguing and attention grabbing! Got us for sure! We did free street parking right in front and there were a couple other parties aside from us in the restaurant, but our food came out quite efficiently and we had more than enough for 2 people and we were able to take some home as leftovers to eat later. The bar area is GORGEOUS, the way they display their alcohol looks super glamorous. Perfect backdrop for photos, especially if you wanted like a Hollywood or Great Gatsby kind of thing. Actually, the booth seating was the tallest booth seating that I've ever sat at, which was neat in it's own way too. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Cali Chilli Powerhouse: -This is a zero proof drink. It's a milk blended almonds, pistachio, chia seeds, saffron and green cardamom. -Super rich smoothie like shake. Quite sweet and more of a dessert than anything, but if you like pistachio and almond, this is a very delicious drink. Very smooth and milky. Great to balance out the savory. 2) Pani Puri Poppers: -These are puffed puri bites and we got this half and half with charred chicken and potatoes. Underneath the puffed puri bites were shot glasses filled with mango and coconut, mint and cilantro, and yogurt and ginger dressing dressing. You pour the dressing into the bite and then shove it in your mouth and enjoy! -I've had something similar before at a different Indian restaurant, but I enjoyed it here much more. Dressings weren't overpoweringly sour like I've had at other places. Very refreshing dressings that went great with the protein/carb fillings. Love the crunch of the puff puri. My favorite was the mango coconut. I love the fruity sweetness with the savory. 3) Cali Chilli Pot Pie: -You get to choose your protein and we chose the lamb rogan josh as we got chicken for our other dish. -Comes out SUPER hot. Even towards the end of our meal, the dish was still steaming hot, but it's super unique and delicious. -The pie crust is mostly just the top of the dish and the rest is curry stew and protein below. Super tender lamb meat and flavorful curry. Nice kick, savory depth of flavor and spices. The pie bread part was moist, tender, top was flaky and delicious. A must. 4) Hariyali Chicken Boti Kebab: -This is part of their limited run Long Beach Food Scene Week menu. -It's a Tandoor (clay oven) combo meal made in an authentic tandoor, making the chicken smoky and slightly charred on the outside, and moist, juicy, and tender on the inside. -This dish comes with a choice of carb and salad, so we got the saffron ghee rice with the Cali Chilli Curry Sauce and the Citrus salad. -Delicious mint and yogurt taste to the chicken, both refreshingly sour and creamy, but herbal as well. There's a kick from the green chilies too, making it a great diverse dish of flavors and textures. I don't drink, so I can't really comment on the quality and taste, but the preparation for my boyfriend's drink was super cool. They used fire and poured it here and there. Truly a dinner and a show. The blue of the fire was super neat and great for videos and photos. Thank you for that! Will definitely come again.

What an amazing experience at Baba's Cuisine! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine kindness and hospitality. We were helped by the wonderful Manuel, who took the time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and give his personal recommendations. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Our food was served by his awesome 12-year-old son, Rafael, who was incredibly polite, attentive, and professional. The family atmosphere here is something special. The restaurant was spotless, the service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious. The hummus was so good that I finished it in no time. Rafael noticed and kindly brought out more, saying, "Since you liked it, we want to treat you to some more." That simple gesture spoke volumes about the kind of people they are and how much they care about their guests. Every detail reflected love, attention, and genuine hospitality. It's rare to find a family business where you can truly feel the warmth and care behind everything they do. Highly recommended. Great food, outstanding service, wonderful people, and an experience that makes you want to come back again and again. Thank you, Manuel and Rafael, for making us feel like family. read more

That first experience is what made me come back. On my second visit, I ordered the same salad with chicken and lamb because I wanted that same experience again. When I got back to work, I realized the chicken was missing. I did not complain because I still had the lamb and the rest of the salad, and I understand that mistakes happen. Still, it was disappointing because I specifically came back wanting the same complete meal I had the first time. On my third visit, I drove from Gardena to Signal Hill specifically for that salad. After driving back to Gardena, I realized there was no dressing in the bag. I called the restaurant and explained what happened. I was told, "I'm sorry." At first I accepted that, but then I thought, what am I supposed to do with a salad with no dressing? I called back because I wanted to know what could be done. I was told that if I wanted my money back, I would have to bring the salad back to the restaurant. That meant after already driving from Gardena to Signal Hill and back, I was expected to make another trip because of something the restaurant forgot. When I explained that I was disappointed with how the situation was being handled and that I planned to leave a review, the woman on the phone responded, "All this for a dressing?" That comment bothered me more than the original mistake. Yes, it was dressing, but that misses the point. This was already the second time something had been left out of my order. The first time, I let it go. This time, the missing item affected the whole meal. What I would have appreciated was simple customer service. Acknowledge the inconvenience and make an effort to keep the customer. Something as simple as, "We apologize. Unfortunately, we cannot refund you without the food being returned, but on your next visit we will make sure we take care of you," would have completely changed the experience. Even offering a drink next time or simply saying they appreciated my business would have shown that they cared. I also tipped on my takeout order because I believe a tip is a way of showing appreciation for good service and attention to detail. I understand that a tip does not guarantee perfection, but it was disappointing to tip and still receive an incomplete order. There was also something I observed during this visit that concerned me. Someone spilled a drink, and one of the cooks helped clean it up. He wiped the floor while wearing gloves and, from what I could see, appeared to keep the same gloves on when returning to food preparation. That made me uncomfortable. I would have expected the gloves to be changed before handling food again. To be fair, the restaurant itself looks clean, organized, and well maintained. The tables, chairs, counters, and furniture appear to be in good condition. That is one of the reasons I kept giving this place another chance. I wanted to like Pita Pitaki. After my first visit, I thought it might become one of my go to places. Unfortunately, I never really got that same full experience again. My first visit was good. My second visit was missing the chicken. My third visit was missing the dressing, followed by customer service that made me feel like my concern did not matter. You can have good food and a clean restaurant, but customer service still matters. Sometimes how a business handles a mistake matters more than the mistake itself. My advice for anyone ordering takeout here is simple. Double check your order before you leave. Open the bag and make sure you have everything, especially meats, sauces, and dressing. Unfortunately, after giving this place several chances, it is no longer one of my go to spots.

This place seems to use only quality ingredients, as everything always tastes fresh. Order some pita bread, and they'll taste like someone just prepped them before you arrived! The chicken shawarma plate is our favourite order, as it is plenty to feed both my wife and me. It comes with delicious chicken, a small salad, hummus, and pickled vegetables. Everything tastes good! Occasionally, we get the falafel, which is also tasty! The garlic sauce that comes on the entrees here is likely our favourite of all garlic sauces we've tried in other spots. We used to frequent this spot, and I've certainly brought a number of friends and coworkers around to bring joy to all of our bellies. Prices are average, and the service is fast. Although there is only street parking available, you'll likely be able to find parking along Bixby Road or Atlantic Blvd, though I tend to avoid the traffic of Atlantic Blvd. There is plenty of seating within, along with some outside seating if that's your vibe.

Our server thought he heard my sister order the Lamb Mediterranean Bowl, but she actually ordered the Chicken Mediterranean Bowl. When the lamb bowl arrived, my sister immediately explained that the order was incorrect and that she had requested chicken, not lamb. Instead of simply correcting the mistake, the server argued with us for 5-10 minutes, repeatedly insisting that we had ordered wrong and saying, "You ordered wrong. You cannot returned the plate. The kitchen already cooked it. What is the kitchen going to do with it? Throw it away?" He even suggested that we could buy chicken kabobs separately for $7 ea. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager or owner. The server walked away, then returned, took my sister's plate and brought out the correct chicken plate. Mistakes happen -- we understand that. What was disappointing was the lack of customer service and the arguing instead of simply handling the situation professionally. I have never experienced a server refusing to correct an order and debating with customers over a simple mistake.

My go to are the three meat quesadilla, the shrimp is especially fresh and plump... Weird word . My other favorites include the Lebanon Trio burrito, and the chicken burrito. The meat is always prepared well and everything tastes fresh. I love that they prepare everything Halal, though damn I wish I could get some Carnitas in my food or bacon and sausage in my breakfast burrito but such as life. Staff is always kind and engaging, and I trust them to prepare my food deliciously and consistently. Highly recommended, at least give them a try

I don't understand the rating and reviews. Their food is disgusting. I understand what fusion is…read moreand this is not it. We got a crunch wrap and a shawarma wrap. This is not a damn shawarma wrap. WTF is this. It fell apart the moment I picked it up and it was half salad with pieces of some flavorless dry beef. As someone who's pregnant, I'm not only upset but the food handling is questionable. The salad in the wrap didn't look washed properly. Needless to say, we won't ever be coming back here. I tried calling them to get a refund but of course they didn't answer. Almost $40 for two shitty meals.

It could have passed as a huge pita chip, it was so hard like a pita chip. Everything but the pita were just ok. Nothing spectacular. The Pita was terrible. The quality and consistency that I've been used to, has lacked the past 3 orders. Not sure what has happened to this restaurant. In the past you didn't have to ask for every sauce plate came with. Only sauce included was a green sauce. No garlic paste/sauce nor hot sauce. I usually enjoy my meal when sauces are included. To conclude, my meal also got me feeling sick to my stomach after eating. Needless to say you've lost a loyal customer with the inconsistency of your meals.

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!

Seriously delicious, you'll be craving it again and again!…read moreThis was my first time at this location and we went pretty close to closing time so I wasn't expecting to get as many options for the combo plates but to my surprise, they were stocked up well. The restaurant was super clean and we were greeted as soon as we walked in with a warm welcome and smile. The staff was efficient and kind, not only did they greet everyone as they came in, they thanked every guest on their exit, as well. We got 2 combo plates, upgraded to garlic naan, and 2 piece of veggie samosas, everything was absolutely delicious, hot, fresh, and made with great attention to detail as it was seasoned to perfection. The veggie samosas were a little spicier than I anticipated but I thoroughly enjoyed them alongside my combo plate. I got chicken tikka masala (butter chicken) and black pepper chicken, my boyfriend got the chicken tikka masala and the chicken curry (which was sooo good, I wish I got some of my own - next time!) We'll be back, everything from the food to the service to the cleanliness of the restaurant: 10's across the board! Prices are great too!!

"Authentic Indian Flavors, Outstanding Service, and an Unforgettable Dining Experience!"…read more Flamin Curry impressed us from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, full of true indian flavor, and clearly made with care. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped us choose some amazing dishes. The naan was fresh, both chicken tikka and black pepper chicken curries were rich and aromatic, and every bite left us wanting more. It's rare to find a place that gets both the food and service right, but Flamin Curry does exactly that. This is definitely our go-to Indian restaurant whenever we're in Long Beach again!

I've been here once and the wings were that memorable. I'm told by management that Flamin Carry does a great wing package with an Indian twist! You bet I'll be back and you should try it too!
