    beef kofta wrap
    Manda J.

    grew up in this area and witnessed the build-up of their kitchen & mixed drink packs (u gotta go read the drink mix-pack names, always brings me joy)! i come back to this area just to stop by and get food from Big Baba Eats, 10/10 recommend. great food and good vibes its the closest u can get to the feeling of a nyc bodega in SF style lol. pro tip: call ahead with your food order 10 minutes in advance if u r tight on time or tryna catch muni and cant wait for your food order to b prepared!

    Chopped cheese

    I've now had both a Philly and Chopped Cheese here. Both were generously portioned and packs flavor. This corner store packs characteristics of a NYC Bodega which is fantastic.

    I am into it. You would never assume from the exterior that this corner deli/market dishes out great grub, but that's exactly what you'll get and you'll get it at a great price. Burgers come out hot and fresh to order, and their fries are twice fried. Nothing better than some great eats at a hole in the wall for a good price. I'll be back for another burger soon!

    Kofta and lamb shawarma...Omg the best! Philly cheesesteak and bacon cheeseburgers! Garlic fries better than Beeps!

    Philly Cheese Steak Sandiwch
    Elvine V.

    Before heading off to our family gathering, called, "Thanksgiving Dinner", I dashed 2 sandwiches and fries. I had delivered Philly Cheese Steak, Chopped Cheese and Garlic Fries to my spot. I can't complain about the service. The dasher delivered on time as expected (45 minutes) and the Chopped Cheese was still piping hot. The beef in both sandwiches were of decent quality and were stacked moderately on the inside. I preferred the Choppy Cheese over the Philly since it had a more "meaty" bite to it thanks to the ground beef chunks. I reheated my Chopped Cheese and the bread was outstandingly crisp, with a very soft texture inside. It wasn't " my type" of bread but it did the job. Both sandwiches were decent, except for the fries. The fries were shoestrings topped with the standard garlic-parsley mix. The quality could have been better, but since it was a 45 minute wait, I could understand what my Garlic Fries went through. I've never been inside Big Baba but I've always imagined it be some New York Deli in the hood, guarded by a feline pet store manager for a supervisor.

    SCAMMERS!! Used my debit card information for an international purchase. Never gave me a receipt either. Never again.

    WARNING!! PLEASE READ THIS! Do not come here. I used my debit card here and they used my information to make unauthorized purchases. The cashier also asked a lot of questions about where I was from and if it was my first time there. He continuously analyzed my outfit was staring at my wallet (luxury brand) while I was taking out my card to pay for my Food. He never gave me a receipt. Please be vigilant!!!!!

    I like kofta more the beef shawarma plate because there was more flavor and char. The rice was delicious too. Taboleh salad felt a few days old. The garlic sauce was bomb. Drove home to eat it and it was still delicious. The whole place had drunk food/munchies vibe but don't let that fool you, I would definitely come back again for the kofta! Husband had the wrap and he said they plates were tastier.

    Where do I start? First, I didn't take pictures of the food because I already ate it . The place (family market) is a nice corner store that sells everything from liquor to groceries with a kitchen attached (The big baba)! We tried their Philly cheese steak and it's super tasty and filling! We tried the kofta plate and the chicken shawarma plate. The meats are great and the side fries are super tasty and crispy! Garlic fries is a bomb! Prices are fair, food is delicious, and quantities are big. Highly recommended! Will be back!

    Big Baba was bomb! The chicken shawarma and beef kofta wrap were huge, perfect blend of flavorful sauce and spice(we had it medium spice). Also had 6 wings with the buffalo sauce and the teenager loved their BLT, It takes a minute to get the food as they make it fresh. They also have fun alcohol mixer grab bags for good cocktails. Counter order, no seats/tables, so we walked up to Minnie and Lovie park and ate on the benches. Definitely going back if in the area.

    Shukran habibi! First time going here, it was such a cutty spot. I took the M train from Balboa Park to get there. At first I didn't know where to find the spot, but I figured it was inside the Family Market. Store is packed out with all your essentials. And I mean, all your essentials. If you want to get jiggy, and get some strong bag cocktails; they serve a ton of bags in here. A way broader selection than Mr. Liquor down on 23rd and Valencia. And cheaper too. This spot is like Mr. Liquor; but on crack, but let's dive into the food experience. Now what surprised me the most was they had this one particular item on the menu. I didn't believe it at first, but it was the CHOPPED CHEESE. I thought it was NY thing, but they brought it out here in the Bay. My Habibi and habibtis; listen up, the sandwich was huge. Pause. Unevenly cut, but the chopped cheese was the reach of the lower part of my forearm. Ingredients they used for stupidly fresh, and every bite I took I damn near wanted to cry of joy. It was a top 10 experience for me when it came to eating food in general. I couldn't finish the entire thing, and I had the late night munchies. Forgot how much I paid but it was like around $16-$17 and I would not mind paying that again for how blessed and packed out that chopped cheese was. Days after, I tried their beef shawarma. Again, the same experience. Not as big as the chopped cheese, but it was absolutely blessed at every bite I took. They threw on this garlic sauce that just made every bite orgasmic. Beef was fresh brother. You gotta give these people props for bringing some of the freshest foods to the Bity. Definitely will come back soon. Shukran habibi, much love to the owners and people that work here. Be patient with your order, and trust me. It's gas. Habibi behind the counter is real genuine. Much love habibi, and again like I say every time when visiting spots like these. Don't be weird and look at these people when they're making your food. Lol. Let them work their magic, and be patient with them. Trust the process brothers and sisters.

    Chicken plate - 3 stars. Good flavors, but the chicken was dry. Sat takeout 2022-04-09

    We called around 5:30pm for a pick-up order. They estimated 10-15 minutes, but when we got there 10 minutes later, they were still slowly working on the food. There seemed to be a communication issue between the guy at the register and the chef. All in all it was about 20-25 minutes. The flavors were great, the hummus thick and smoky, which I really liked. The meat itself was on the dry side for both our plates. * Chicken plate - 3 stars Good flavors, but the chicken was dry. * Beef plate - 3.5 stars Good flavors, but a little dry. I did enjoy the flaky texture of the beef.

    $12 breakfast burrito in the city?! What a steal…read more Gilberth's Latin Fusion caught my eye as I was passing by looking for coffee and breakfast. The rustic/home style decor was very welcoming and it seemed that a lot of the folks knew the cashiers/barista! Some people even stopped by just to say hi and welcome back the barista that was on leave for a bit. I forget his name, but he was a lovely person to chat with! I ordered a Breakfast Burrito with Carne Asada ($12) and an iced latte with Oat Milk ($6). It took ~15-20 for my burrito but the latte came out within five minutes and was made fresh with Portrero Trade Operations coffee beans! While waiting, I ended up buying a bag of coffee beans with flavor notes that were so unique- "cola, tomato, and herbaceous". For $25 you get a whole pound of coffee beans, which most only offer 12oz now. Get a bag while you can! The breakfast burrito was served with one green and one red salsa plus a small bag of chips. The burrito was decently sized and very juicy. I was a bit sad to see that the cheese wasn't melted inside, but the fresh pico de gallo inside totally made up for it. The carne asada had a great bite to it and everything was seasoned well. The salsa verde was absolutely stunning. Not too acidic and just the right amount of spice to go with my burrito. I ordered for takeout, but next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going to consider dining in for the full experience.

The staff was nice enough and the ambience was much better than I expected based on the outside. The menu feels random but normal enough. They have your staples. I started with the fried brussels sprouts. They had a nice flavor to them, but a lot of pieces were flat out burnt. Honestly, I was too hungry to complain about it so I just ate it. I had enchiladas for my entree. They somehow reminded me of a great lasagna, but they were just OK as enchiladas. The ambiance is nice enough to warrant a return visit, but I'm not rushing to come back. Related: they only serve beer and wine so there's that

My partner and I ended up getting the margarita pitcher deal that came with 50 wings... (Hear me out). We got pretty tipsy off of the pitcher because the bartender put in a lot of tequila. So it's definitely worth it. We ate as much wings as we could, and saved the rest in our own Tupperware. There was a sign at the bar telling patrons that you couldn't take out any leftovers, but when we spoke to the bartender, he told us that Tupperware would be extra charge so we were lucky that we brought our own at that time. Now, the wings: Some of them were pretty dry. I'm assuming the bar would cook them before the happy hour rush and then they would reheat them with the sauces that people ordered. My partner, and I tried the buffalo, lemon pepper, teriyaki, and mango habanero. The mango habanero was spicy and sweet. I think that was our favorite. I was a little disappointed with the lemon pepper because it was really salty. And the other two were pretty mid. The staff was really nice. The vibes were pretty nice. We were early to the happy hour so there wasn't that much people and we also sat outside in the back patio, which was pretty cool. I could definitely see this bar being a very popular spot. I think if you come here with a big group of people and get the margarita pitcher with the 50 wings, it's a pretty good deal splitting it out with your friends. They have other deals as well where you would get a certain number of wings if you ordered a beer or a beer pitcher, etc. We just wanted to get as many wings as possible and get tipsy lol. I recommend this spot if you're meeting up with friends or had a long day at work.

We've tried Halal Wings Plus a few times before throughout the years and it was always a pretty solid choice. The neighborhood is a bit shady, so beware of your surroundings and watch where you're stepping, cuz you don't wanna be stepping on sh** or b@rf! The menu is above the cashier, so you just order and pay up front and get the receipt with your order number. They'll call the number out when it's ready. I think there's roughly 8-10 tables, if you decide to dine in. ***OUR PICKS*** We ordered 20 wings with 2 flavors. LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS ~ lots of pepper flavor but the lemon did not shine. And the chicken meat inside didn't seem marinated and tasted bland. It probably would be better if they added lemon juice after it was cooked or had given us some lemons to squeeze over the chicken before we dug in. 3.5/5 MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS ~ the sauce was spicy and tangy sweet, but it doesn't seem like they marinate their wings. It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
