Fantastic place! Delicious food, each dish was spectacular. Drinks were great and we had hookah! Service was phenomenal provided by Mahmoud. Will absolutely come back! read more

I've stopped by before just for hookah, but this time my friend and I decided to try the food too - and I'm so glad we did! Located in West Village, the place has a super chill, relaxing vibe. We started with a peach mango hookah, and then asked our waiter for his food recommendations. He mentioned the chicken skewers were the #1 favorite, so I went with those, while my friend got the apricot wings with the sauce on the side. The food came out surprisingly fast--about 10 to 15 minutes! The chicken was incredible: tender, flavorful, topped with a delicious green sauce, and served with a spicy tzatziki over a bed of yellow rice and squash. Easily a 10/10--our waiter did not steer me wrong. My friend's wings were also cooked to perfection, and the apricot sauce was great. Service was wonderful throughout the night. Our waiter consistently checked in on us, kept our water filled, and was genuine and kind (I wish I caught his name!). Why 4 stars instead of 5: An 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill. While the service tonight absolutely deserved every bit of it (and more!), I prefer having full control over determining the tip based on my experience. read more

THIS IS A SOLID 3.5 STAR RESTAURANT. Which means it's a good restaurant. I just can't round up to a 4, because I didn't think it was a GREAT restaurant for ME. I felt food was pricy and quantity lacking. Unfortunately, this is not a restaurant where you order family style. More of a 1 dish per person place. Which is different than how other Mediterranean restaurants tend to do it. Which is fine, just not my preference. Here's what we got: Appetizers: - meza plate: solid appetizer with plenty of things. I particularly loved the Hummus. My wife and our friends really liked the muhammara. - Roasted cauliflower: pretty good. Liked the sauce that it came with. Entrees: - Chicken Shish Kebab($25): the server recommended this dish as their top seller. I don't believe him. This chicken was dry and nothing to ring home about. It was honestly something that I felt I could have at a local Turkish restaurant for $14. Would not recommended. - Kofta Kebab($29): pretty good. We liked this. Kebab was cooked well. - Apricot lamb couscous($37): A traditional dish that we all enjoyed. Slight sweet taste to it, but not overwhelming at all. Dessert: - Baklava Bowl($18): delicious. The fruit and ice cream really complemented the baklava. Would recommend. There's street parking around the restaurant, otherwise, a 3 story parking garage in the back. read more

Staff of this establishment are complete racist full of bigotry and prejudice. Eat here at your own risk!

I came with a large group and we were all really impressed with the live music (oldies) amazing food and ambience. The chicken kabobs were juicy and the saffron rice was the most flavorful version I've ever tried. Truth is, I wasn't even hungry when I went, I planned to box it up for the next day but it was soooo good I ate it all immediately;) so much for the diet;) we all said that we would like to come back- so that's the review of 6 people. read more

A great find in the " neighborhoody" area of uptown Dallas. Beautiful space and with great energy from both locals and tourists/visitors alike. Service was attentive and polite. Food was delicious. I tried the best selling item on the menu - the chicken shish kebab. Chicken was tender and succulent, and accompanied with a side of fluffy Turkish rice, perfectly grilled vegetables and sauces to complement. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Good god I loved this experience. Introduced me to cumin bread and is very high quality. It's filling as well so is worth the money. Servers were kind in explaining the menu and worked fast. Just make a reservation in advance read more

Quaint, little Mediterranean spot & hookah lounge on the outside of west village! Their chicken kebab and shawarma are phenomenal. I also recommend the Mezza plate with all the apps and a bottle of wine to start! It's cozy and comfy in here and not typically too packed so you don't need a reservation. Great location and delicious food read more

Baboush is a charming and inviting spot tucked away in the West Village area. During the day, the atmosphere is warm and earthy, with friendly and welcoming service. As evening approaches, the vibe becomes more romantic and cozy. We had the Mezza plate, which offered a variety of flavorful bites--each one better than the last. The lamb with couscous was another standout: tender, well-seasoned, and not too gamey (just the way I like it). read more

Good location in the West Village with some solid Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. I tried the chef's hummus and chicken kabob plate with some friends and would at least recommend the hummus, and may return to try some of their other mezze. The chicken kabob plate is plain, decent but nothing special (could be seasoned a bit more), and somewhat pricey. We were seated outside because they were very full inside - but the service was still fairly good despite this. Overall a solid Uptown restaurant. read more

I couldn't have asked for better service from Muhammed. He was excellent. Food was also incredible. We had: Lamb hummus - perfection. I didn't realize how much I liked lamb, it was perfectly seasoned Harissa and apricot wings - I loved the flavor, they weren't spicy at all. More sweet. Chefs kiss. Chicken kabobs - great flavors, chicken was very tender The ambiance is also really great. I loved the music and decor. Felt like I was transported somewhere in the Mediterranean region! read more

Baboush offers authentic Mediterranean food in the heart of uptown Dallas. Parking can be limited but they have some street parking and there is a parking garage nearby as well. The food was delicious they offer a full menu from appetizers, small plates, and main entrees. Some of the highlights were the hummus, flafael, and the lamb racks. They have some outdoor seating which we opted to do but they have a beautiful dining room area for you to enjoy as well. This is a great spot to get some delicious Mediterranean restaurant. I will be back again. read more

Grabbed lunch here today. I cannot wait to go back for another meal. Not only was the service top notch, Mahmuod gave us A+ attention, the meal was great. The chef's Hummus was by far the best I have ever had. Crazy fresh ingredients and the portion was such a deal. We ordered the "beef cigars" and split an order of the beef shawarma dish. I highly recommend the beef shawarma. The beef was tender and perfectly medium rare. so flavorful. Drinks were never empty. Let's talk dessert. The baklava was simply amazing. We skipped the ice cream version and just went with the basic version. I will order an extra to take home the next time I visit. Thank you Baboush and Mahmuod for making this such an awesome experience. Highly recommend, will be back soon! read more

Amazing food, highly recommend the lamb lunch special. Our server, Mahmuod did a 10/10 job taking care of us and making us feel welcome. The owner/manager came and checked in on us too, and the rest of the team gave great service. I will be back and anyone passing on this restaurant is a fool read more

They have lovely decor, makes me feel like I'm traveling internationally. I usually come for the lunch special, for how fresh and tasty it is for $17 you just can't beat it. They serve hookah outside which is a nice add. Theres a nice manager that wears a suit and makes sure everything is smooth, awesome vibes and food. If you like Mediterranean it's a must try. The lamb on the lunch special is more like ground lamb not whole chunks. Wish they would add gyro meat to the lunch options. read more

Baboush has been on my want to try list for quite a while and I was glad to finally try it. Inside, the atmosphere is small and cozy with live music when we went. We started off with drinks and the chef's hummus. The hummus was fantastic and I would recommend it. For drinks, we got the blackberry seduction and lebanese nights. I felt that the blackberry seduction was pretty good but the other one tasted pretty much like juice rather than well mixed cocktail. We then got the lamb rack and kofta kebabs. Both were well made and flavorful but I felt that there was not enough food/it wasn't good enough for the price you pay. I did throughly enjoy the rice that came with the kebabs. Overall, Baboush was a fun place that I am glad I tried but I didn't feel that the value was good enough for me to want to come back. read more

The best Mediterranean restaurant I've tried since I arrived in the USA. We tried several dishes and everything was exquisite. The Mezza plate lets you taste classic Mediterranean antipasto-style dishes, all delicious. For my main dish, I ordered a vegetarian plate based on couscous with roasted vegetables, which also had an incredible flavor. I highly recommend it. read more

This place is worst place ever!!!! Stay away. All there reviews are fake!!!! I recently visited this restaurant that offers hookah, and I have to say, it was a huge disappointment. First off, they charge an outrageous 20% "gravity" fee on top of the standard table charges, which feels like a scam. The hookah was absolutely terrible--nothing like what I expected. I can't believe some people actually recommend this place! It's the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Save your money and stay away from this place. Don't trust the glowing reviews; they must be fake! Hookah won't last a minute!!!! read more

It's hard to get lamb right, but this lamb was great! Service was attentive and kind and the ambiance is very cute; they offer hookah that I did not get to partake in. Inside is set up beautifully and you can tell a lot of effort was put into the detail. I have been to Morocco. This felt and tasted like the restaurants back in Marrakech. The only reason I did not give it a 5/5 was because some dishes will come garnished with nuts that don't usually have nuts, which made it so that I couldn't have it. I probably should have mentioned my allergy, but putting that menu items have nuts - even if it means it will just be garnished on top, goes a long way. I was able to remove the pine nuts on the lamb which made me happy, meaning they can accommodate food allergies. The menu isn't very extensive, as they become more popular I hope they can add to it. The food is prepared very well. Can't wait to come back and try the preserved lemon chicken. read more

I frequent this place often. It's hard not to notice the hookah smoke from the seating on the streets. The food here is fresh, vibrant and even a tad tart. If you want to eat healthy and not miss out on flavor, this is the place. The shawarma chicken bowl was crisp and light. Normally rice comes with this dish but not here and I didn't miss it at all. Would come back. read more

I have been here 3 times and this place never disappoints. Love the food and outdoor seating especially when the weather is good. Highly recommend trying their sangria and blackberry seduction for drinks. For apps I ordered falafel and goat cheese cigar and for main course I order chicken kebab with Tabbouleh salad. Salad is always refreshing and chicken is well cooked and juicy as always. I had grape mint hookah which was really nice too. The owner and staff is really friendly and they came out to check multiple time to make sure everything was fine. read more

They had amazing food and the best service! Ask for Tim he is the best and makes you feel at home.

We visited Baboush Restaurant yesterday and had a mixed experience. When we arrived, the manager was quite rude and immediately said they did not have a table available. We informed him that we had a reservation at 9:00 PM, but his response was again rude and he told us to wait. We waited outside for about 10 minutes. After we went back inside, several other guests arrived after us, but the manager ignored us and seated those guests before us, even though we had a reservation. This was very disappointing and made us feel unwelcome. once we were seated, The food was amazing, and our server was very polite and attentive, which we really appreciated. Overall, the food and service at the table were excellent, but the manager's behavior was unprofessional and negatively affected my first impression. I hope the management addresses this. read more

Wow, really impressed by the food here. I was staying in Uptown for work and ended up dining here twice in one week. My first visit was a late afternoon lunch with my pup. We dined outside. Service was attentive, even bringing a water dish for my dog. My server also helped me decide on my entree, the Chicken kabob plate and I was not disappointed. He also suggested the house Cabernet to pair with it instead of any of the others as it was a better pairing for the food. I was surprised how great the house wine was. My second visit was with my boyfriend and the dog again. Service and food quality were consistent with my first visit. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. This time we tried the salmon and chicken schwarma wrap. We visit Dallas frequently for work, we will return! read more

Tasty, a bit pricey though. I love the location and menu but I dunno they could try a little harder.

My friend and I were visiting from out of town and picked Baboush as a stop on the whim- we are so happy we did! The food was everything we could have wanted and more. Our service was so polite and helpful, she even told us about their music night on Saturdays. Sitting outside was our choice because the weather was so nice but inside was gorgeous. Essentially? I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant and can't wait to come back! read more

The plating of the food was nice, but the food could've been more flavorful. I got the Baboush Kofta (grilled round lamb & beef, shoestring potatoes, tomato sauce, harissa labneh, pomegranate, pistachios, basmati rice), and my table shared the Lamb Ragu Hummus (crispy pita, saffron yogurt, pomegranate, micro greens, pickled onions, pine nuts). Service was good, and the decor was cute. Parking in front of the restaurant can be difficult, so I'd recommend going to the free garage located behind the store. read more

One of the few (if not only) Mediterranean spots in West Village and well worth the price. Going in I knew the portions would be large, so my partner and I split a small and large dish. For the small dish, we tried the goat cheese cigars - there was a total of 2 (we each had 1). The "cigars" were quite thick, soft and flaky on the outside, and had warm, flavorful cheese. A side of yogurt came with this dish for dipping. I'm not sure what other ingredients go into it but it was more citrusy and even a bit more spicy than expected for me - but it was great and complemented the cheese. For the large dish we got the chicken Schwarma bowl. They were generous with the meat, sauces, and other ingredients. It comes with pita, so I just dipped the pita into the bowl to grab and eat the ingredients along with the bread. Again very flavorful and something you can/should split with another person. For dessert, I tried the kinafa. I highly recommend trying it - it's one of my favorite Arab desserts. It's sweet but not overly so and is a mix of cheese on the inside and crunch on the outside. My fingers did get sticky though. Furthermore, the waiters were quite attentive and often checked on us to see how we were doing. My bf has a nut allergy so our waiter was able to accommodate us when possible (unable to do so for kinafa, but left out nuts for the cigar and shwarma bowl. The inside looked very ambient and well lit, but my partner and I chose to sit outside to enjoy the weather, which I highly recommend doing if possible. read more

Great ambiance, attentive service, delicious food, and excellent cocktails. I came in with a group of 5 and we were greeted by a very friendly man at the front who sat us right away. The restaurant was cozy with comfortable seating. Turkish/Moroccan lamp lighting was a cool touch. Drinks were delicious and boozy. The waitstaff was kind and attentive. Appetizers were generous and delicious--presentation was elegant. Entrees were also fantastic. I highly recommend the shawarma bowls. My party stayed for a couple of hours. We never felt rushed and had a great time. We are very thankful for the great experience. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended for a date night as well! read more

The food: I ordered hummus to start. I've never had it with a pesto sauce on top before. It was delish! Then I got the preserved lemon chicken. Glad I had some pitas left to sop up all of that sauce. But the show stopper was the dessert. All the times I've been here I've never had room for dessert. This time I packed leftovers so I'd have room and now I'm kicking myself for all of times I've missed out! Get the baklava. I repeat. GET THE BAKLAVA! Where has this been all of my life?!?!
