    Chicken shawarma
    Erica K.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Chef's Hummus from Baboush

    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!

    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).

    Mezza Plate and Couscous with roasted vegetables

    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.

    Chicken Shish Kebob
    Carissa L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    One of the top five meals of my life. So delicious, wish I could have eaten more but glad I got to take home leftovers. Very nice staff as well. Cool music and vibes.

    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.

The music is nice and you can tell they really focus on creating a beautiful Mediterranean experience. The food is completely incredible and very unique. This is not your average Greek pita place.

It's pricey for an appetizer, but it is definitely worth it because it's so unique and flavorful. It was probably my favorite thing that we ate. Everything felt just a little bit overpriced for what it is. My baseline comparison is Hillstones and R&D, and this is definitely Hillstone's pricing, but not the same experience overall. My wife and I shared the lamb shank and the falafel platter and also had a side of cauliflower (which was incredible). My 3 year old had the kids item which was $18!?. it was all very very good. My wife and I had a glass of wine and the average price was $18. They also had no descriptions of what style of wine it was e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon. When I asked the server, he just recommended the Caymus. The service was transactional and something you would get at most fast casual restaurants. I get that a lot of the servers are not professional servers. For the mezze platter, it would've been helpful to have an explanation of what was on it. Basically they brought the food. They took our order and that was it. Parents: they have one kids meal which included four chicken kebabs and a side of either rice or fries ($18). The price felt very steep for a kids meal. I probably would rather have had half the portion size for half the price.

    My husband and I hosted our rehersal dinner on the top floor of The Mayor's House on a Sunday…read moreevening in April, with a final guest count of 75--and it was truly perfect. We initially discovered the restaurant back in January when we dined there and immediately fell in love with the food, service, and atmosphere. That same night, we inquired about hosting a larger event (around 80 guests) and secured our April date with a deposit. From the very beginning, working with Jenna, the manager, was seamless. We communicated though text, which made planning easy and stress-free. Jenna curated a limited menu for our guests featuring popular dishes she personally recommended--chicken, beef, lamb, and vegetarian options--which made ordering simple while still offering great variety. She was also incredibly flexible with seating arrangements and accommodated exactly how I wanted guests placed. One detail I especially appreciated was her willingness to honor special requests--she arranged for a tres leches cake from a local bakery for dessert, which was a huge hit. On the day of the event, Jenna met me an hour early so I could set up extra decorations like flowers, a banner, and place cards. That extra time made a big difference and helped everything feel personal and organized. As guests arrived, we had them go directly to their assigned seats--which I highly recommend for a group this size, as it fills up quickly. The staff immediately began service with starters (hummus, salad, and bread), and they were quick to take both food and drink orders. Everything came out promptly, and the service throughout the evening was incredibly attentive and responsive. Every single guest had something positive to say about their meal and dessert, which says a lot when hosting a group this large. After dinner, the staff cleared tables efficiently, and we were able to enjoy the balcony space--an absolute highlight. It provided the perfect backdrop for photos with family, overlooking the Dallas skyline. At the end of the night, Jenna checked in with us to debrief, mentioning that the assigned seating helped her team provide faster, smoother service--which we definitely noticed. Not only did we have an amazing event, but we also felt like we built a genuine connection with her. She struck the perfect balance of being both professional and personable.
