I had a great experience at this place! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I especially want to thank Netu, who was extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout my visit. She really made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place! read more

Alhamduillah the food was excellent I had the mushroom Swiss burger, and my husband had the meat lovers calzone. Both tasted great, and I hope to continue to support. I'm also impressed with the one worker they had who was by herself but still managed to be polite and get the food out in a decent time. read more

We attempted to redeem a Restaurant.com certificate at Baba'z Grill today. The lady and young girl , who looked to be about nine years old, working there had no idea how to redeem, tried calling the owner (who did not answer) and then refused to honor the certificate. Communicating with them in English was very difficult. We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant and were disappointed they would not honor their promotion. Will not be back :-( In response to the business owner's reply, I will add that I had never heard of his restaurant until I found the promotion advertised on Restaurant.com. I was not 'taking advantage' of anyone. I was attempting to redeem a promotion that the owner is too stupid to understand he signed up for. The one thing I am in total agreement with the owner is his suggestion that everyone go to McDonald's or Jack in the Box because the food at either of those places will be better (probably cleaner and safer too). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lastly, anyone who is still considering visiting this restaurant should know that the other reviews that described the lack of cleanliness there are accurate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came to order pasta half an hour ago before closing , the worker said sorry, I can't make you one

To whom it may concern, Found this place using restaurant.com. Called to place a pizza order and the man voice on the other end said, what size? I said, I show one price on your site of 15.99. He said, tell me how many people you are feeding and I'll take care of you. And said price was for a medium pizza. Not Large. So I ordered 2 medium pizzas and a salad. I said, it's not about number of people. How much for your pizzas. I should have moved on, but I had a restaurant.com certificate. $25 for $50 dollars of food ordered. The sweetest young women at the register greeted me. 2nd red flag: the menu items that were listed in the paper menu on the counter - in front of me- had lower pricing.   When I questioned the cashier, she said I don't make the pricing it's in the computer.   And then, when I tried to use the certificate provided below it was saying invalid. She called her manager. Finally get a hold of him she handed the phone to me. All I heard was, "you didn't tell me you had a certificate." At that point, I was frustrated and said no thank you as I felt this was a Shiesty business.   In the way home, I received a phone call from the manager stating I quote "fuck you, you are a piece of shit, mother fucker." What the heck? Stay away......far away. read more

This was one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place felt dirty and poorly maintained -- not somewhere you feel comfortable eating. Cleanliness clearly isn't a priority here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dealing with the owner was even more frustrating. I was told one thing and then experienced something completely different. The communication felt misleading and dishonest, and instead of taking responsibility, there were excuses and deflection. It left a really bad impression. On top of that, the food quality did not justify the price at all. Very disappointing taste, presentation, and overall experience. When you combine poor cleanliness, questionable transparency, and low-quality food, it's hard to recommend this place to anyone. I won't be coming back. Fake halal read more

Ordered on their website. The order was 50 minutes late. Also incorrect. I paid for three extra toppings on a large pizza, didn't get any of them. To add I ordered a meat lovers pizza and I got a decent cheese pizza. The cook had her daughter helping too. She looked about 9 years old. I watched her dig her whole hand into a jar of seasoning only to grab pitch. This little kid is cooking with her hands. Not sure how sanitary this place really is. Wouldn't come back nor recommend. read more

Baba'z Grill is my go to if I want consistently amazing food at a wonderful price. They have a wonderfully varied menu, and they are open late as well. The service is always immaculate, and I have been addicted since I first was lucky enough to stumble upon them on a food delivery app. The quality is consistently wonderful, and I will continue to recommend Baba'z to my friends-- local or not. read more

Baba'z Grill - Hot Chicken Fajita Wrap and fries with a dead fly - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Glad this place is open late! A lot of places close by 10pm. Also, most affordable of the ones open late. I love that their specialty pizzas are reasonably priced, because it's nice to have more than just 1 topping without feeling like you're being taken advantage of. And of course, it tasted great! I added some chili flakes, parmesean, & sriracha at home... the perfect combo!! Speaking of perfect, I was so happy to see that they sold Vimto here. A boldly, sweet, sparkling beverage. They have in both cans or bottles... try one if you haven't before. It's most similar to a Shirley Temple. Although I got carry-out, you could very well dine inside, as there's a couple tables & an expansive menu with a lot of classic choices (pasta, salad, sandwiches, chicken tenders, fries, etc). read more

Baba'z Grill - Tuma'z Buffalo Spicy Chicken Fries & Chicken Shawarma Arabi - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

It is unfortunate to witness the decline of this establishment. Over time, the overall quality has noticeably deteriorated, seemingly due to a lack of proper management. What was once fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced food has now become subpar, lacking both freshness and taste. Additionally, the staff appear inexperienced, which further impacts the experience. Whether under the same ownership or new management, the standards have slipped considerably, and we will no longer be returning. Best of the luck to this establishment and hope to see improvements but till then we will not be returning. read more

Food was great, staff was friendly. I will be back for sure! I was drawn to this place by the fact the owner would respond to every negative review. I wanted to try this place myself to see how it is and everything was solid read more

This place has been in my neighborhood since 2018, and I never had a chance to try it in a while, I think it used to be a different pizza place until it got taken over by Baba'z Grill. Located right next to 大三元 777 noodles house, it stays opened until 4 AM every day. If you want to try Middle Eastern style pizza, it is the place, unless you are a regular shawarma or others which they also have on the menu. $18 medium size pizza, I ordered meat lover no cheese and thin crust, came put great, has ground beef, pepperoni and sausage, I was hoping to have chicken on the topping as well, but the size portion was just right, perfect for one person, the thin slides made it decent and not overpowering for my taste, of course without the cheese I enjoyed it even more, plus you get to try to fajitas sauce and the buffalo sauce on your pizza instead of the regular marinara sauce. I guess I missed out on the Mashawi plate, and I am glad I asked, they only have chicken plate right now, and if I wanted something else I need to call ahead. Thank you to Mosab who took care of my order, it was fast, less than 15 minutes, he offered me dine in option since they have tables, but I asked for take out. Also the place accepts EBT, I can't wait to come back to try the Mashawi plate, I obtained the cell phone number of Mosab so I can call in advance. Parking is in the back, since after the road construction it's even harder to find any street parking now. read more

Dont know if it is under new management or what, but the reviews under this talking about great service is a lie. We walked in around 8:20pm and theres no menu up, i asked about prices and they looked at me like crazy. A medium pizza, a chicken alfredo pasta and 2 bottled drinks will run you about 50 bucks. Food took about 45 mins . Help is wanted "with experience " They definitely need it. Only 2 female cooks present, while we were waiting for food, they dropped what they were doing and went ahead to hugging and loving it up with 2 random males that walked into the establishment. Price wise and poor customer service gives this place a 1 star, the other star comes from the food. A chicken fajita pizza had about nothing cups of chicken, a whole lot of mushrooms though. Would not recommend this places to others or the chicken fajita pizza. read more

Ordered 2 small pizzas. They were TINY and not worth $20 each. Of course I ordered small, but if you're charging $20 for a pizza, at least make it worth it. Will not be returning. (Added a photo of the box for reference) Replying- No you actually don't have a buy one get one deal going on. And you shouldn't be rude to customers, it's a really bad look for your company. I have no problem paying for good food, but your pizza was garbage and waaaay overpriced for that tiny size. Be honest with yourself, you know you're ripping people off. read more

Baba'z Grill - Chicken shawarma and fries - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

The owner is a bully. He reminds me of a former president of ours. It's obvious, he has a lot of pride, which isn't always a bad thing. But sometimes having too much pride can stop one from understanding others. And when you're in the business of serving people, understanding others is very, very important. It's clear, instead of understanding his customers and addressing their complaints, he'd rather call them liars or other names, insult them and tell them to not return. This type of behavior does not support diverse communities. It rather destroys them with hatred, anger and resentment. Please do not support this business until the owner can demonstrate a willingness to respond to his customers in a calm and respectful manner. You can still take pride in your business and tell your side of the story, but the name calling and insults has got to stop... it's somewhat entertaining, but totally unprofessional. read more

Ordered delivery (pizza & sub) from Baba'z and was greatly satisfied with my order. I got the pepperoni pizza and also a Philly Cheesesteak with fries on the side - the kids loved the pizza and ate half of the pizza before I began to dig in! Even the delivery driver from one of the big food delivery apps said this one of his favorite pizza spots in SD- at first thought he was just being nice & pleasant. So far have ordered twice and enjoyed the halal food both times. read more

its ridiculous what the owner calls quality customer service and food. The place is not anything fancy and wanted to give it a chance. save yourself the hassle and stay farrr away. The owner spends more time on yelp replying to unhappy customers than fixing his own issues. I am more than happy to avoid this place. read more

A+ service, the food was on time and was delicious! Definitely recommend! Will be back for sure!

I originally was skeptical of this place because of the pricing and the reviews, but knowing what halal meat goes for its reasonably price. I will say this, best burger I've had in San Diego that's halal! I had the crunchy babaz burger and it was splendid! My husband had the Nextgen burger and it was a fantastic chicken burger that you can tell was seasoned perfectly and you can taste it as a whole! The pizza was sadly missing the bbq for our bbq Hawaiian pizza, but it's Sunday and they could be busy! But please the burger is a must have! Wouldn't Grubhub due to the pricing and wait time , but will definitely will be coming in person next time for their burger and will give the pizza another try! read more

It's not enough to recommend this place how they making the delicious cheese burger, pizza, shawarma, and also service is amazing, and all food is Halal. Thank you so much. I really appreciate! read more

I went here and it was not the best. When I looked at the menu burgers were over priced but was halal. Burger are at least $10 for one. The fries are poorly fried and seasoned. The owner was making the food, when I saw he was not even wearing gloves. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not a lot of seating and now bathroom, I had to use the bathroom from the restaurant nextdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sone foods are good while some foods are alright. Staff was alright. read more

Very good Pizza and place Halal food, we ordered 3 Pizza and the service is very fast

I ordered 5 pizza's from this place and when I brought my pizza home the pizza was so thin. Secondly there was barely any topping on any of the pizza's I ordered. One of the pizza was an all meat and there was barely any meat on the pizza it looked like a cheese pizza. We called him to complain and the guy was rude and would not admit even though we sent him pictures of the pizza. He said the toppings were under the cheese but when I checked there was none. The first time my family and I visited him a few years ago he served us good food that time but when we were paying he tried to charge us extra and we called him out on it. This is supposed to be a halal restaurant and the guy claims to be Muslim but he sure isn't acting like one. DON'T GO TO THIS LOCATION UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED. This location deserves negative stars. read more
