    Lamb platter with white sauce!
    Baylee C.

    Service was quick and kind, they offered samples which was awesome to help pick what we liked. Quick, efficient and so delicious. We have plenty of left overs too!!

    Chicken and Lamb Mix Platter

    Baba's Halal is located in the Avenue's Mall and is truly elevated mall lunch or dinner fare. The crew was friendly and eager to serve us, wanted me about the hot sauce (which was amazing), and cared deeply about getting our order perfect. The chicken, the lamb, the rice, the salad, the sauces...everything fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. Great eatery at The Avenues and places like Baba's Halal are the reason why. I highly recommend you give them a try.

    I'm currently watching my figure and needed something that was hearty but healthy - Baba's really hit the spot. I'm a first-timer but the staff was patient and gave recommendations for vegetarian options. The falafel was seasoned amazingly and made to order. They had a rice option which looked tempting but I did good and put everything over a fresh salad. Many people were in the line waiting to order and the staff did well accommodating and eagerly giving out samples. It's located in the food court but the food still tastes like it's made with care. The mall was extremely busy but they made my food in a timely fashion and were very pleasant. This is definitely a place I can see myself craving and coming back to the mall to visit. Overall the experience was great.

    Mix plate,  lamb and chicken

    Yea this is really tasty stuff! I saw James had posted about this new place in the Avenues so when I was in the mall, i just had to pop on in! Walking up I wasn't sure what / how to order, but it's very simple...chicken, lamb or mixed plate, they all come with rice, salad, and white sauce on top...I went with the mixed to try both meats and they really load this thing up! Instead of gyro shaved lamb it's thick cubes of gyro meat and the chicken was marinated in like a spiced yogurt maybe, what it was, was delicious! Me and my daughter tore this thing up! lol! fresh, salty, and satisfying! I got the mint cilantro sauce on the side to try it, it was herby and tart, I preferred the white sauce which was light a light garlic sour cream sauce and happy I went with that. Great addition to the mall food court!

    Chicken and rice with spicy and white sauce

    "What's the best thing you've eaten lately?" Chicken and rice with white sauce and spicy sauce. Located in The Avenues Mall food court you'll find Baba's Halal. This is arguably the best $10 lunch you're going to get in Jacksonville. Absolutely proper chicken and rice with a fantastic blend of spices. This place needs to be on your radar!

    Falafel gyro
    Amira I.

    We tried this place for the first time in Avenues mall in Jax. If you have tried Halaal guys then you will like this place too. We tried their falafel gyro and chicken and lamb gyro. Each comes with fries on the side. The meat was well seasoned and tasted good. I liked the gyro. Next time I will try their platter and other sauces. We made everything spicy. Overall it was a great place to get a quick bite while shopping at the mall.

    Lamb & Chicken Mix Over Rice platter
    Laura A.

    Would not normally head to a mall for food, but have been hearing so many good things about this food court place. The chicken platter with white sauce was yummy and I also grabbed a bite of my husband's combo platter with lamb. He added the spicy red sauce as well and enjoyed it. Everything was fresh and delicious.

    The prices are very reasonable and with the platter you get SO MUCH food. The staff handled the line pretty quickly and were friendly. The decor and color is nice, makes them stand out a bit in the mall food court. I ordered the mix meat platter with the white sauce, and a side of pita bread. I ordered the mix as I wanted to try the chicken because it was sometime different. There was nice flavor to both the lamb and the chicken however I prefer the lamb. The mix of the fresh veggies, meat, and rice was the prefect combo! I think next time I will skip the pita even though is was delicious because I was stuffed but I didn't want to waste the food. I ordered the gyro sandwich with fries for my husband. I snuck a fry :) it was well seasoned. He said the gyro was a 7/10. I think on my next visit I will try the mint sauce.

    I have tried halal food when we visited New York a few years ago and I'm so glad Baba's has the same concept. Their location is very convenient after some walking around the mall. We have been here a few times and have tried both the chicken and the lamb entrees and they are delicious. I just don't like the bright orange color of the chicken lol! But it's very tasty and they give a great amount of portion, so very filling! It also comes with a side of salad. They have a few options for the sauce and I would recommend the mint cilantro. This is definitely our top choice among the stalls at the food court.

    I guess for mall food it's fine but i did have higher expectations after hearing all the raving reviews from everyone. The meat has a very good flavor it's seasoned so well ! But the platter is just very lacking. I didn't want to add too much more to the price so maybe that would've changed the experience but i'm at the mall ya know. Vegetables were just okay. I liked the flavor of the rice! Not much sauce and there's a upcharge for extra. I didn't bother. Good if that's what you're feeling like after a long day of shopping at the mall. Didn't live up to the expectations for me.

    Lamb plate
    Aliyah S.

    Legit drove to the avenues mall only for this lol and I was not disappointed. Such a great deal for so much freaking food!! The food is delicious and filled with flavor! The staff was super nice and was very helpful since it was my first time which i appreciated. So glad the mall is adding other types of food into the food court.

    Ayesha F.

    The customer service was fantastic! They let me sample the chicken and lamb before I made my order. The portions were generous, so I had leftovers for the next day. The meat and veggies were fresh, and everything was packaged well for the car ride home. The food was absolutely delicious, with great flavors, and served hot and fresh.

My son and I have been trying restaurants in this area and this was next on our list. Store was very clean, as I said before service was outstanding. Here's a list of the food we tried: Drink stand - not many selections, but they do have Coke products. Sweet tea - they have not perfected the taste of Southern sweet tea, but it was fine French fries - crisp crunchy exterior soft, interior, really well done. . Egg salad sandwich - it was just an egg salad sandwich, no better no worse than others, just fine . European Gyro - this was a normally euro stuff with french fries, it was a cool look in the dish was good. Overall, I wanted to love this place, and it was fine. But that's all it was was fine, they played it safe, they didn't try to spice up their menu or give you a number of unique specials. They just serve decent food at what I thought was a high price. For instance, my egg salad sandwich, and I'm an egg salad, lover, Fair but it was $13 without many side drink or chips. Most places, including Tidbits, which is one of their competitors, is less than $5. But I have to say they five other restaurants in this strip center, including the powerhouse Mexican food at El Castillo, Donato's Pizza, Mad o' Seafood, a Latino restaurant and Açaí Bowls. So if you're going to compete with these other restaurants, I think you need to go above and beyond. Maybe highlight Middle Eastern dishes, maybe makes egg salad with some curry powder, and don't charge so much for just plain sandwiches. I don't have any qualms about going back, but I also don't have anything to draw me back. That special dish or that special thing. And that seem to be the theme with the other people that came in. This was a first time visit for a lot of people , and a regular crowd just wasn't there. Maybe that is telling.

The bacon was really well cooked and the eggs were super fluffy and delicious. I also got a gingerbread latte which was fantastic. The staff there were incredibly nice and had patience while I was trying to decide what I wanted and also were willing to make suggestions if needed. The restaurant itself is not huge. However, there are several tables inside and even a couple outside. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu very soon!
