The food is fresh, well prepared, not to mention very tasty The service was great, so friendly. The wait person put 3 chairs together away from the sun for us . It was very pleasant! read more

The food here was amazing!! Complete jewel. My wife and I got the Chives Bolani and Gyro Sandwich. Delicious, hot and fresh. We were blown away! The service was great, it did take a little bit for the food to come out but well worth it. It was piping hot, steam was billowing off of everything. Ambiance was cute with some artificial turf and little details to make you feel like you're in a quaint little spot. Will definitely be returning here! read more

Great food with good sized portions - the combos are enough for lunch and dinner for me.

There is no space to sit inside so your only option is sitting outdoors. They do have heaters for evenings. The staff were friendly. We ordered at the counter and sat outside. I just tried their chicken kabob entree and it was delicious - yummy Kabobs with enough Basmati rice and salad on the side. I'm definitely coming back for more. read more

Outstanding customer service experience here and delicious food Very clean restaurant love it. Thank you read more

I've been craving this place for months, really mainly to get their potato bolani. How to explain the crisp, flavorful mouth-watering potato deliciousness it is? We finally went and also ordered the lamb shank and beef skewers. Everything was good. The lamb was so tender, the beef moist and the rice infused with flavor. I know I'll be craving the food here soon so can't wait to come back! - ample parking in the lot - outdoor seating - order at counter - casual vibes read more

Had lunch at Baba Kabob with several friends. They had Good food and service. It was reasonably priced.

Food was good but did not appear to be Greek specifically though very Mediterranean. I searched for Greek restaurants. Small restaurant with outdoor seating. I ordered a 2nd kabob of lamb which was not necessary. Server brought our order out to us. read more

I recently dined at Baba Kebab and it truly stands out in our city's as one of the best mediterranean restaurants. The chicken and beef kebab plate is my absolute favorite. The kebabs are perfectly seasoned and grilled to tender, juicy perfection, bursting with rich, savory flavors. The accompanying sides--fluffy rice, fresh house salad complement the kebabs beautifully. It is a very family oriented restaurant that I highly recommend! read more

Baba Kabob - Kofta and Chicken Combo Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Poway, California

Baba Kabob is as good as it gets if you want quick, healthy, affordable, and delicious meals. The kabobs are always perfectly cooked and juicy. The sauces are so good and the rice is so fluffy. I usually get a chicken kabob which comes with rice and salad. The bolani starters are amazing too. This location doesn't have indoor dining but there are tables outside -- something to be aware of. Their other location has a large indoor dining area. read more

First time visit today. Everything seems a bit expensive for a walk up and order situation, but I decided to try the Baba Salad ($14) with gyro and chicken shawarma with the "spicy" option. The salad was large and possibly shareable for two smaller appetites. There was so much flavor! The gyro meat was good, but the chicken shawarma was juicy and probably the best I've ever had. Definitely recommend this salad! The seating area is mostly outside and pretty basic, so "to go" is a good option here. So while the price may be only 4 stars, the quality is definitely 5, so I'm rounding up to 5. read more

Baba Kabob - Baba Salad combo $13.99 and delicious. - Mediterranean Near Me - Poway, California

First experience was many years ago with a Super Bowl party we hosted. Decided to have something other than the usual Mexican food. Everyone loved it. Since then Baba Kabob has become our favorite take out place. Last night my husband said their food is so fresh and tastes home made. He also said they give very generous portions. Their kabobs are so tender. Friends from El Cajon had us over and ordered food from their favorite kabob place that they said is the best. The chicken kabobs were ground chicken molded into kabobs. The food was no comparison to Poway's Baba Kabobs. Instead of listing everything we enjoy there, we highly recommend that you try it for yourself. I will say their hummus is the best I have ever had and their potato sambosas and bolanis are so so amazing and generous. I love the chicken swarma salad it is so big I always have leftovers which is bonus. read more

This place is small on the inside but packs a warehouse of flavor in it's food! I had the beef and gyro plate to go and man, soo good the beef is not ground beef but some kind of cut, it was amazing. The people that work here are very nice and accommodating. Great place to check out. read more

They make delicious kabobs. I have tried both chicken and lamb. And they are equally good.

The food there is delicious. The meat is soft and flavorful, and the green onion dumplings with yogurt sauce was also really good. The service is friendly and the guitar music was nice. read more

Ordered some door dash. The potato Bolani was really good. The potato sambosa was just ok. Loved the chicken kabob in the plate. Well seasoned and tender. Wish there was more sale than rice. There was a lot of food for the money. The gyro sandwich was yummy. read more

Came for the lamb shank, stayed for everything else. Great food and wonderful people!

Food is awesome have been coming for years. I have had pretty much everything on the menu it's all good. The customer service is great !

Not from the area and decided from the reviews and comments to try this place. It's small but special. Outside seating and gives Mom and Pop vibes. Looks like they put a lot of care and flavor into their dishes . Portions were good and the food was very yummy. I'm sure we will be back! Thank you so very much! read more

This is a super cute mom and pop shop. The vibe is welcoming and as soon as you walk it the smell of home cooking just warms your soul. I had no idea what to get off the menu because it all looked so delicious! I went with the recommendations of one of the workers and was not disappointed. The pita bread was definitely fresh made and SO tasty. The portions are large and each dish is affordable. I had the gyro sandwich combo which came with fries and your choice of drink (there are five coolers stocked with everything you can imagine). The customer service was great and the staff were super friendly. We will definitely go back here to try some more options! read more

Baba Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Poway, California

Our favorite restaurant in Poway good food, nice people. Large generous portions. Very fair price for quality food.

Wow, this place is amazing! To be honest, I was a little put off because even though there were great reviews, there's a huge banner outside saying "Thrifty Ice Cream." Ignore the banner though, they definitely have excellent food....I only discovered this place this month, and I've already gone twice. The service is always great and the food is ready super fast. So far, we've tried the following things: STARTERS Potato Bolani: These are great! Lots of potato in a soft tortilla. It's a huge serving for an appetizer, and basically entree size so we had some leftover for the next day. Sambosas: 4 of them, and they were nice and crispy. ENTREES Falafel sandwich: The falafel was crispy, and had a nice texture. A lot of other places seem like they skimp on the number of falafel they include, but this was a solid amount. Chicken kabob plate: My boyfriend got this, and liked it! He added an extra kabob to really make it filling. Chicken shawarma sandwich: Again, my boyfriend's pick and he loved it. Dumplings: This seemed closer to ravioli than dumplings to me, but this was good. It was chives with sour cream and a beef sauce over them. There are two types of dumplings, and I forget which one this was but the menu has a description of each one and this is the one with the beef sauce. Looking forward to going again soon and trying more! There's also another location on Black Mountain Road, and I plan on trying that one too. read more

I've been wanting to try Baba Kabob for some time and I'm so glad I finally did! There's two locations; Miramar and Poway. I went to the Poway location and there's unfortunately no indoor seating. The food and service on the other hand made up for it. I ordered a chicken kabob entree plate and added kofta. High quality ingredients, rich, delicious flavors and generous portions. Comes with basmati rice and salad. There are several tables out front and the nice gentleman brought my food out to me. I could only eat half of it. Made some great leftovers, that I can tell you. I'll definitley be back soon when the weather warms up a bit. read more

I have tried several kabob places in San Diego and this is by far the highest and exceeded my expectations. Huge portions, it is made fresh, flavor is on point and well done. It is ridiculously good. It is however expensive but you get what you paid for. The only complaint I have is the space. It is very small. The tables are outside, so if you come here on lunchtime you may not able to seat yourself. My husband discovered this place when he came by my office and wanted to have lunch. I send him down this area and he was the good culprit. Glad he picked and tried them coz it was indeed a good place. read more

Found this place since it was listed as yelps top 100 for 2023. The staff is very nice and the food was good! We got the chives bolani, baba kabob sandwich and chicken shawarma salad. The bolani is huge! Came with probably close to 20 pieces and the two of us barely made a dent. The yogurt sauce and skug was very good. The kabob was fresh and the salad came with a lot of meat. We will definitely be back read more

It took me way too long to find this place. I used to go to Kebab Shop, now I feel like an idiot. This place is so so good, I get the shawarma chicken sandwich/pita at least 3 times a week. Baba is one of the best restaurants in Poway, I said it. read more

Great wraps! Tasty! Very efficient staff. The garlic sauce is a must! This shop also has outside seating that you share with other fast food places. read more

I came here twice in the last 3 days. I ordered the Lamb Kabob Entree, Garlic Bread, and the Kabob Sandwich. Both times, the food came out different. The first time was great! I was very certain this would become a regular visit for me. But.. the second time the food had less flavor and seemed to be done in a rush. The sandwich looked just thrown together and the lamb kabob had way too much turmeric. I dont know , its a 50/50 for me. The cashier was very polite and had great customer service. read more

Baba Kabob - Delicious !!!!!!!!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Poway, California

This is an Afghan food restaurant sometimes is difficult to order since no one answers the phone. Their kabobs have a distinct flavor and it is really good, we ordered: - Chives bolani.- I really like this dish, it is like a thick crepe with very good flavors and texture. - Lamb and Beef Kabob.- the flavors were very good but I think the meat of both of them were overcooked. - Chicken Kabob.- my wife ordered this one and It was moist and properly cooked, I enjoyed this kabob. - Chicken shawarma.- good. The food is good and next time I will order the Chicken Kabob. read more

Baba Kabob in Poway is the real deal for mediterranean. I am really tired of fusion or dulled flavor for American taste of the other place Kebab Shop. I ordered this to go. It is made fresh, so wait time may be 30-45 minutes on weekday evening. Kufta kabob plate - 10/10 Tasted really authentic. You only get one ground meat kabob, alot of really tasty. Comes with a salad. Chicken Korma Masala - 8.5/10 Taste is really good. There is not much chicken, more veggies. This can be split for a meal between two small eaters. They also offer family meals with kabobs, which I will consider for next time for $42 which has several kabob skewers, rice, hummus, salad. I can't remember hope I got it right. Adding a skewer is $4.99. I'll be back. Ttaziki sauce - i wish it had dill, but its pretty decent The green cilantro sauce is bomb! Add citrus to get your appetite going. read more

The gyro salad was excellent and huge. More than enough for two people. Lots of meat. I got 1/2 gyro and 1/2 chicken shawarma and it was delicious. Really nice people working there and they make their own sauces which they sell. The green sauce which I don't know the name was awesome. The red sauce was very good too. Both have a nice level of spice and excellent flavor read more

Not sure why this location seems to be cursed or something but they have typically been replaced with another kabob place. The first one was really good, the second business was okay, but this third one seems to good again. We got the chicken and gyro meat wrap and it was very flavorful and served on a fresh fluffy pita bread. It was a little tricky to eat but just need some extra care to fold/roll it up back up to eat. I would come here again to eat. read more

Baba Kabab on Poway road is a must try location! Food is packed with flavor and extremely well made. Past couple of weeks I've tried the baba kabab sandwich , beef and chicken entree. Food was as delicious as it looked! The staff is very friendly and accommodate any special requests. For the baba kabab sandwich, I would recommend the spicy option, gives it a good punch! I can go on and on about the yummy food here but I'll let the food speak for itself once you try it :) . Enjoy the yum food! read more
