    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!

    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.

Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food is a staple for me, and the depth of flavor here is unmatched--owner Samir's family recipes, especially for the dips, truly stand out from anywhere else. Because most of my family is vegetarian, we have tried virtually everything on the menu over the years, and you honestly cannot go wrong with a single item. Beit Rima has also been my go-to for catering across every kind of occasion--from my kids' birthday parties and relaxed family gatherings to a formal leadership dinner I hosted recently. I have served their food to guests from all different backgrounds, and it is a massive hit every single time. Whether you are dropping in for a casual meal or catering a special event, the consistency, quality, and warmth of the food never disappoints.

The service was friendly and welcoming even when our party came at different times. The restaurant wasn't busy given it was a Monday evening, so you would think it would go smoothly. *** OUR PICKS *** COMBO APPETIZER PLATTER ~ hummus, baba ghanouj, haydari, ezme, dolmas, merimek, falafel ~ parts of the platter were cold while the falafel was warm, but they topped it off with a sauce that didn't keep the falafel crispy, instead it softened it. I think the sauce should have been on the side. The rest of the dish was good. 4/5 LAMB KEBAB PLATE ~ this was my dish. I touched my skewers thinking they were going to be hot, but it was surprisingly cold. I'm not sure why skewers would be cold when the food should be hot right off the grill. The lamb was cooked medium rare as I requested, though there was little to no seasoning. So it was kind of gamey and tasteless 3/5 RACK OF LAMB PLATE ~ my partner chose this dish. The lamb was also very light in seasoning. The pistachio rice was interesting and nutty. Asparagus was good. 3.5/5 MIXED GRILL PLATE ~ our friend enjoyed this dish. Maybe a mixed grill is the way to go and some meats cooked and seasoned better than others. 4/5 BEEF KEBAB PLATE ~ the beef was also room temperature and lightly seasoned. 3.5/5 SALMON ~ I tried some of this and it was decent. 4/5 BAKLAVA & CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE ~ Nice birthday surprise and a sweet way to end the meal. Baklava wasn't as crispy or flaky as some I've had, but the honey-pistachio nuts were good. Chocolate mousse cake was decadent and moist. 4/5 Beautiful presentation on the plating of our food, though the timing for the food wasn't quite right as a few plates were served room temperature and not hot. However, the surprise desserts were a nice touch in helping us celebrate a birthday!
