    This is My 92 year old friend pictured with Sanela and her great cup of coffee and pancakes .
    Wendi H.

    Good Evening Friends . This morning I drove to Babo's cafe for Breakfast with my friend Miss Peggy . And to our great surprise there is Pavement in back instead of gravel . We were so Happy as my friend had a walker and with the newly black topped drive / parking it was not a struggle to get into the restaurant. I just want to give them a shout out not for just the wonderful Breakfast we had Meat lovers skillet .. but for the time and determination that the owner taking care of his customers !! Thank you thank you to the business that took care of this Small but Priceless moment .. we appreciate whomever did this for Babo's cafe .

    Churro fries
    Pam H.

    We stopped in for a late breakfast/ early brunch and enjoyed everything! The atmosphere is comfy with a dive bar feel (in the best way). We started with the churro fries - yummy appetizer that comes with apple butter, but we asked for a side of honey which was even better! I tried the buffalo chicken babo's which were perfect- plenty of flavor and just enough for me! My dining party tried the breakfast chimichanga (humongous) and the Balkan club. Both dishes were delicious. Fresh and full of flavor. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Terre Haute!

    Cevapi Special.
    Dave R.

    Wow! The cevapi, a house specialty is like nothing I've had. Tender juicy flavorful sausages on perfectly grilled bread with a red pepper sauce on the side. Killa fries! Great staff; friendly, informative, attentive - really pretty - and super efficient. I'll be back!

    Was extremely busy and the building being small made for a very loud environment. The service was good and quick. The food was good, I wasn't the biggest fan of the tnt chicken but that was just a personal dislike.

    Build your own burger. Tater tots. (Not pictured)Chicken and rice soup of the day.
    Megan L.

    The food was pretty good. My burger was a build your own so it was just a basic burger but good. The tots were good but I think I'm gonna get French fries next time. Their soup of the day was really good. The service was great. The waitresses helped each other out with grabbing refills or asking if things are good. The environment is pretty laid back but loud and busy. Everybody was very polite and happy.

We got there a little early and had the chai and a date mamool while we were waiting. They ended up taking our food order a little early so it would be ready at 11am since they weren't very busy and I am pretty sure the front counter worker was enamored with our 2 year old daughter. This was our second time here (we went last year as well when my wife was at this same conference) so I was well overdue to review this place. The food here is fantastic which is why we repeated it - it has to be for us to do that at places we visit. Good or okay doesn't get a repeat from us. The dolmas are exactly what you want them to be and there is a perfect amount of salt on the arabic salad, the cabbage salad, and the pickled turnips. Speaking of which, the pickled turnips here are divine perfection. I would be hard-pressed to find better pickled turnips anywhere. The schwarma is quite solid - not as good as I recall from The Netherlands, but as good as any here in the U.S. The Middle Eastern vegan platter is quite a bargain and delicious to boot. The workers here are very kind and I have no knocks against this place at all. They even sell Dubai chocolate to go on a deal - Buy two original bars and get a Strawberry cream Matcha one for free.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

    Came for lunch and was pleased with their lunch special, the gyro meat had great flavor and I…read moreordered the hummus as my side. The pita bread was the warmest, fluffiest, pita I've ever had. Would definitely order it again. I would've liked the baklava to have more honey on it so I'll be sure to ask if ordering it again.
