Okay, it's been a minute since I've been to Baba, but I've been meaning to leave this review for a while now. I actually picked up gift cards for the Eat Good Group at Costco because I wanted to bless a friend with a night out at Baba and honestly, it was such a good choice. I love this restaurant group in general. They also own places like The Eatery and Honey Eatery and Social Club (and a few others I'm probably forgetting), and what I appreciate is that each spot feels totally different while still having that same quality and care behind it. Baba has more of a Mediterranean-inspired vibe, and the food really reflects that. I'll be honest I don't even remember exactly what I ordered (it was one of those super busy weeks), but I do remember how good everything tasted... and I've got pictures to prove it. The atmosphere was great, service was kind, and overall it just had a really unique feel compared to other places. It's definitely its own vibe, in a good way. Even though I'm late on this review, it stuck with me enough to come back and write one which says a lot. I really loved the food and the flavors, and I'd absolutely recommend checking out Baba. read more

Another amazing visit to Baba. I was in town with some coworkers for a work dinner. Our server was so helpful and made some great recommendations. We got the short ribs and dip platter. Portions were huge and easily fed all 3 of us. I loved being able to try all the dips and pickles. Got the coconut sorbet for dessert and it was the perfect end to a meal. Light and refreshing. read more

Love the coffee experience, the food, happy hour, full dishes, all of it. Hate the parking, great service.

4.5 Stars A cozy spot with high quality, unique, Middle Eastern fusion fare. It is on the pricey side for sure but I think the food warrantees it. Think, small shareable plates from $15-30 range. We came as a group of 6 and ordered waaay too much food. The drinks were great. I enjoyed the Velvet Smoke ($16) - the cinnamon, blood orange, and smoky mezcal meld so beautifully. Appetizers: * Deviled Eggs ($14) - GET THESE, they are your classic creamy rich deviled eggs with warm spices added * Kawarma ($20) - Hummus with Lamb - awesome * Whipped Feta with Honey ($18) - also awesome * Latkes ($15) - crispy and addcictive Entrees: * Shakshuka ($25) - as good as shakshuka gets * Turkish Mac & Cheese ($22) - good and creamy with pistachios on top - interesting but would not recommend * I didn't try it but everyone was raving about the chicken kabob ($25) Desserts: * Turkish Pot de Creme ($12) - I LOVE cardamon in desserts Pot omg, that whipped cream with cardamon I could eat everyday * Baba's Baklava ($14) - excellent * Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Kataifi ($14) - the only thing our table did not like. It was salty and we couldn't find the chocolate. So strange. They explained it was new on the menu and needed some tweaking, and kindly comped it. Staff are super nice :) The PITA is to die for - it's fresh, warm, and fluffy. read more

All the courses from this restaurant are exploding with flavors from the 1st course being the African peanut stew and deviled eggs, the 2nd course being the baharat chicken and the kofta kebabs and 3rd course being the coconut sorbet and Turkish pot de creme. All 3 courses are extremely good. They are slightly spicy but not too spicy that you can't eat and taste the rest of the flavors. The Turkish pot de creme and coconut sorbet are a hit and you won't go wrong choosing either one but the sorbet was my favorite. It's very creamy and delicious but like I said you can't go wrong if choosing the Turkish pot de creme. Baba is a must try if looking for some place to eat during restaurant week. The ambiance is very chill and relaxing with low light setting and the service is chill with no rush or pressure. read more

I can't. Not anymore. I can no longer go to a Mediterranean restaurant and be satisfied unless it's Baba. This has changed me. Gorgeous little place, could have used some candles on the tables, but clean, and fitting decor. Service was relaxed and on it as far as never letting you be without what you need. The food... layers of flavors that you'd not expect- even in a place like this. I've been to so many but nothing has left me staring at my mom across the table wondering if I should stomp my feet or walk to the back and thank the chef. Hit up during happy hour, the deviled eggs are amazing. Had to request without chili oil for my mom. The falafel/ wow. The WHIPPED FETA and pita. Come ON!- there are flavors that shouldn't be allowed and I'm so glad they are. Never had a soft pillowy fresh one before. The chicken kabob..the caramel.. the chili flakes.. I could drink that. Used the rest of my pita to sop it up. Beef lamb kabob was stunning- almost at the top of my personal heat limit. Had the chocolate pistachio torte.. so good. I will have to come back next time I'm in town. PLEASE GO HERE. read more

It's a small place, but the food is great. Elevated Middle Eastern. Most tables are tall. If you need a normal size table, call for reservations. read more

The spot: this is a really cool spot! Inside is open, the chairs are comfy, the decor was inviting and felt very fitting for the cuisine. Service: service was slow. We waited quite a bit to order our food and then for our drinks, and it just kind of continued with the rest of the meal. I am going to allow grace, because it was restaurant week and they were very busy! Our server ended up giving us the wrong dessert (it was still yummy), but he comped a drink for me. He was very apologetic, and it all worked out. The food: we loved it! The food had so much flavor and was so yummy! My husband started with the deviled eggs and I started with the potato latkes. Both were delicious! The eggs were totally unique and so good! The potatoes were perfectly crispy and the spicy tzatziki they are served with was perfect on them! For our entrees I got the Kofta Kabab and my husband got the Turkish Mac and Cheese. Again, both so good! The kabob was cooked perfectly, the flavor of the keeled rice they are served with was amazing. It was sweet, but also savory at the same time. My husband really enjoyed his mac and cheese as well. It was also unique and the cheese was so good. Lastly the dessert, while it wasn't what we ordered, it was still great. It had a wonderful flavor and texture. It was a great experience! We will definitely visit again! read more

Came here recently on a weekday with some coworkers who were in town and we sat outside on the patio. We ordered a variety of small plates and bites from the menu to share family style and I can't say there was one dish we didn't enjoy. Definitely get extra pita - you'll use it! Only less than positive comment was that we didn't love the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc we ordered - it was very sweet. I'd love to see Baba offer more Maryhill or other local KY/Spokane wines on the menu in the future. read more

Baba restaurant - Menu on the outdoor patio - June 2025 - Mediterranean Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This is a great Mediterranean Restaurant, located in a scenic area of Spokane Washington. I visited during happy hour and ordered several items from the happy hour menu and one for them from the regular menu; everything that I order was outstanding. The dishes had a very complex and bold flavors, and the service was outstanding. The happy hour menu was very affordable. This is a great place of you are vegetarian, there are many meatless options, as well as numerous meat options on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing restaurant with a quaint atmosphere inside and out. Good happy with a variety of small plates and drinks. I've tried the falafel, cauliflower and kabobs and all are great. The sauces and components all make the dishes. Cook on everything is perfection and plating is beautiful. I'd come back here again and again. read more

I had found Baba through Yelp and visited on a Wednesday evening not realizing the Market event was also happening the same evening. Overall, I did enjoy the food. Ordered the Kawarma and King Oyster Mushroom Souvlaki. I don't know if the hummus used for the Kawarma is the same that is on the menu by itself or with the wild mushrooms. I would think it was as this would be the most efficient for the kitchen. On the menu, it does say that the hummus is silky smooth. What I received, while yummy, I would not describe as silky smooth. I have had the opportunity to travel to Israel where the hummus is amazing and the consistency they are able to achieve, I still have not found here. So not sure if that's a fair comparison or what they were aiming for. The spiced lamb was flavorful but a bit salty for me. I do wish it was in slightly smaller pieces so it would be easier to pick up with the pita without needing utensils. I loved the fresh pita that came with the hummus. Personal preference, would have loved it more if it was toasted a bit longer so there was some more chew to the pita. The King Oyster Mushroom Souvlaki was a super simple but super yummy tasting dish. I love just about anything mushroom so could not go wrong with this choice. I would have ordered, if it was an option on the menu, a side of pickled veggies but I did not see that. I think it would have helped break up the salt in the lamb. read more

The food was delicious and very fresh--the servings are ample, and everyone in my (picky) family loved what we got. The smashed potatoes were lovely, and the eggs were poached absolutely perfectly. Service was excellent and very prompt, without being hovering. Our waitress was friendly and sweet. The interior is also really nice, with large murals, and a modern-meets-vintage feel. I was shocked that brunch was not more busy, but it's going to be my go-to spot. read more

Myself and 3 friends came for brunch on a Friday and were pleasantly surprised with this spot. The server was so helpful and patient with all of our questions. They gave us great drink recommendations. Even though one of our friends didn't enjoy the drink they got, the server had done a great job describing the flavors before hand. We got mushroom hummus, king mushroom Benedict and the salmon latke Benedict all to share amongst the table. The potatoes that came on the side were so crispy and well seasoned. My personal favorite was the mushroom Benedict. The flavors were so well balanced. It was very quiet in the restaurant when we visited. The server was also the bartender and food runner but they were amazing about communicating with us and making sure we got great service. I'm definitely coming again to try different things on the menu. read more

Excellent, flavorful food. I was visiting Spokane and decided to try this place based upon the reviews and it did not disappoint. I got the hummus and pita, chicken skewers and falafel and all were great. I also asked for a side of the chili crunch oil which was a nice spice addition to the meal. read more

The food was ABSOLUTELY amazing and delicious. My friend and I didn't really talk for a solid 15 minutes because we were eating our food so seriously. Am personally a Shakshuka lover, and it was absolutely worth it. (The best part was definitely the naan bread!) The waitress and hostess were both so sweet and nice! The ambiance here is also so nice, with plenty of room between tables and kid friendly! Definitely recommend coming to eat here! read more

I've been meaning to write a review on Baba for a while now - this place has definitely become one of the highlights during my move to Spokane! Suggested to me by a friend who is familiar with the area, I recently came back for dinner and had an awesome experience! Located in the Kendall yards area, there is ample parking both on the street and just behind the restaurant, and the location serves as a really nice spot for a walk before or after dinner! I came on a Thursday night for dinner and there was no wait at all. Another thing I wanted to mention was the overall ambience, I love the dimly lit lighting and the overall comforting vibe the restaurant has. The food at Baba is wonderful, they have a lot of traditional mediterranean dishes, as well as some elevated fusion takes that I've never imagined before! I ordered the whipped feta with honey to start off, and had the Chicken Skewers and Turkish Mac and Cheese. All items were full of flavor and my personal favorite was the Mac and cheese. The pistachios on top added a crisp texture and a bit of sweetness that really elevated the dish. I definitely recommend checking out Baba for any special occasions, their happy hour is also really good! read more

The food was nice but I didn't think worth the cost. I feel this way with every place in Kendall Yards I have tried. I felt our waitress had too many tables for just her and the food came out very slow. Nice dining area. Give it a shot you may enjoy it more than I did. read more

I started off with hummus and tzatziki and warmed up pita bread delicious. Small portions, though. We had an interesting server. Anytime I would take a picture of the food, he kind of made a weird comment We got our chicken skewers with rice with Israeli salad. Super super small salad for $10. My chicken and my husband's was cold, like out of the fridge cold. He had like veins throughout the entire chicken piece, and tasted extremely ganish. Sent it back. Yuck. Lost my appetite. read more

Food: 5/5 Drinks: NA Service: 3/5 Location + Interior: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Flavors are so good! I love a spin on some of the classics, elevated dishes with some surprises that made it a really great dining experience. We didn't get to try any drinks, but will be back in the future. The location is in Kendall Yards and so it makes for a great stop when shopping or enjoying the events in the area. Interior is updated, but still has applicable decor. Our waitress was very slow to get us our check and box us up - looking elsewhere when taking our order, it was strange. Small portions and steep prices, YOU PAY FOR LOCATION. read more

Excellent food, great atmosphere. Had a lovely evening. Everything we ordered exceeded expectations.

I love love love baba! Their food is so unique and delicious. I've been to baba a few times there and I always leave full and happy! I usually order a drink when I stop in and their use of rose always amazes me! Their desserts are perfect, not too sweet. If you're wanting to try a restaurant that's different than any other in Spokane, I suggest you make a reservation :) their staff is quite lovely as well! Last time I went in, I noticed a drink that I wanted was no longer on the menu and our waitress was so kind to get the recipe for me. Baba, is perfect for a large group, small meeting, and even a date. I love baba and it's usually one of the first places I think of when someone asks me where to go for lunch or dinner in Downtown Spokane! read more

Great food, good service. Nice restaurant, interior etc. Definitely would recommend. Good.

Firstly the ambiance and service was nice. Love the decor and we were so excited about the interesting menu. Turkish coffee was served in adorable tiny shot glasses/cups on a tray but at $14 for two shots of espresso it wasn't worth it. Plus it wasn't as strong or thick as it should be. The whipped feta appetizer was delicious! Only bummer is that for $18 you get ONE super flat & thin pita. We ordered a 2nd one to finish the dip and was charged $5.50 for ONE pita!! I ordered the mushroom gyro with the smashed potatoes. I can't tell you how disappointed I was with every aspect of the meal. The mushrooms were slimy, the rest was a medley of veggies that had different sauced & flavors and didn't go together at all. The mushrooms especially were horrible- and I'm a huge fan of mushrooms. The potatoes were just three small not quite fully boiled potatoes. No sauce, just hard potatoes. Yuck. For $20 My son got the chicken gyros and there was barely any chicken in it and it was very plain. I've got much larger gyros from Pita Pit with more flavor and way more ingredients for far less money. Again, $20... Fries were good, very tasty and crispy. My mom got the feta mac & cheese and it was tasty. Came out piping hot and very creamy. The pistachios on the top were an interesting addition that she enjoyed. My son ordered a cherry limeade that was delicious. All together this lunch was $111 before tip and only one person was satisfied with their meal- tho we did all enjoy the appetizer. read more

Second time coming here and it was phenomenal. Their mocktails and cocktails are amazing. I highly recommend getting family style as the staff recommend since there are so many amazing things to try. I had the Chicken skewers and they are absolutely amazing. I wish I could drink the green sauce they come with... It's such a nice ambiance inside, very vibey for date night or girls night. Their patio looked nice as well but it wasn't open quite yet. Will be returning, hopefully for happy hour next! read more

If I could rate it higher then a 5/5 I would! The chefs need a raise cuz holy smokes the food is TO DIE FOR. We always get the chicken platter (third time now visiting) and I swear it's better and better every time! The smash potatoes and sauce that come with it are sooooo yummy! We also love the Mezze Platter for a group appetizer. We also tried the Turkish Mac and cheese this time and it was so delicious! read more
