    Loaded falafel fries with Greek salad and feta cilantro potatoes
    Laneshia S.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Secret menu chicken gyro

    Great food, friendly staff, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the service was quick and attentive. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Chicken kabob plate

    Delicious food in long beach, i went in for the chicken kabob special and all i have to say is that i will be back tomorrow! O highly recommend. Also, the staff was nice and the food was out quick!

    We stopped by here on a weekday because it was one of the dog-friendly restaurants near Rosie's Dog…read moreBeach. They have multiple outside seating areas where you can sit with your doggo. Ambiance (5/5): Although we didn't sit inside, it was super cute, with classy boho vibes. The restroom was clean and well-decorated (although, not gonna lie, I don't know how I felt about the big mirror facing the toilet). The outside patio area was airy, and although right by the street, I didn't find it unpleasant. Service (3/5): It was just so-so. They sat us down quickly, gave us our menus and checked on us maybe twice. It wasn't super busy, but we had to wait to ask for things like extra plates and water for our dog. Food Overall (5/5): Food was delicious. We got the beef shawarma lunch special and got fries for the side (extra charge) and also the chicken shawarma lunch special with the hummus side. Beef Shawarma (4/5): It had a nice toasty flavor, perhaps from the spices, and the pickled veggies really complemented it. My only complaint was that I wish it had a bit more of the white sauce (maybe adding more hummus would have helped). It was also strangely a bit watery, maybe from the veggies. Overall, it was still a yummy wrap. Chicken Shawarma (5/5): The chicken shawarma tasted more balanced to me overall. I don't recall the meat being dry, although I did also slather it with a bit of hummus. I thoroughly enjoyed this wrap. Fries side (5/5): Their fries are made in house and it tastes so fresh. It was crispy on the outside yet still gooey and moist on the inside. I'm not sure if they make their own ketchup too, as it looked clumpier and tasted really fresh too. The kids gobbled this up. Hummus and pita (5/5): It came with a generous amount of both hummus and pita. The hummus was well flavored and blended, and it really complemented everything on the table. The pocket pita bread was not what I had in mind (I'm used to thicker ones), but the kids really loved it overall. Ice cream (4.5/5): We ordered two scoops from the dessert menu. They were both really thick, creamy and almost chewy like liquidized mochi. It was a very interesting texture but nonetheless a nice tasty treat on a hot day. I much preferred the vanilla bean, as the pistachio tasted and looked rather artificial (and I'm a pistachio ice cream lover). This place had so many to-go orders during the afternoon we were there. I can see why. Food is super fresh and tasty. I think we will be back the next time we are visiting.

They offer flavorful and substantial menu items; however, as advised by friends, the preparation process can be relatively slow, with our two panini sandwiches and appetizer taking approximately thirty minutes to be ready for our pickup.

All three varieties met our expectations, with the edamame hummus particularly standing out to me. Regarding the panini sandwiches (shared between two people) we had the Salmon Brie Panini and the Tofu Pesto Panini. The Salmon Brie Panini was enjoyable, though slightly fishy tasting. The Tofu Pesto Panini distinguished itself through its exceptional flavor, texture, and creativity. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and look forward to returning in the future.
