Mezze Plate
Kim K.

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.

Yummy pita and dipping sauces

This was a great experience!! Jackson took such good care of us, she the atmosphere was lovely! We had the Baharat Roasted Chicken Plate, and it did not disappoint!! We will definitely be back!

Tzatziki dip & whipped feta dip
Katie Y.

Visiting Spokane & was recommended by Gonzaga parents to try Baba esp their happy hour. My daughter & I went on a Thursday at about 4:40pm. It took a few minutes for someone to greet us & the gentleman that finally did was a bit awkward & little to no energy. It just kind of felt like he was bothered to be there & had no urgency about anything. He took us to our seats & did give us information about the happy hour and asked if we had been in before. We sat there for quite a while and while we did a handful of other groups came in and waited again for a while to be greeted. It appeared to only be the gentleman & a girl working & there were several tables. After a while the gentleman came back & said he would be our server. He had been seating people & Bartending & I guess now was going to also be a server. We placed our order & a bit later our dips came out but then quite awhile after our skewer came out. The dips were delicious & a great price with the happy hour. The chicken was ok just not what we expected & prob wouldn't order again but it wasn't bad. The happy hour deal we heard about was awesome & the food was good however the weird service situation really put a damper on our experience. I am not sure if they were short staffed or what but it was just very weird & clearly they weren't staffed appropriately. The 2 workers were each doing several jobs but it just didn't seem like anyone had a clear job to do so seemed like a lot of things were getting missed or just not being done well if that makes sense.

Deviled Eggs (4) for $14
Wendi K.

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.

Turkish Mac & Cheese + Braised Lamb
Mandy S.

My second time here. I came a year ago with my husband for my birthday and unfortunately while the food was great, the server was so miserable. I'm back in town for a work trip and despite the last visit being somewhat soured by the server's bad mood, I really enjoyed the food and came back again. I'm glad to say that the service is better than last time. Not super friendly still, but at least my server checks in and doesn't act like serving isn't their job. Most importantly, the food is just as good. Since this trip is just me, I opted for a smaller meal. Their meals are meant to be shared and are quite large, so I got myself the Mac and cheese with braised lamb and the whipped feta. They also have a Dubai dessert I'd love to try, but that's just way too much food for me alone. I might try to come back another day during my trip just to try the dessert! Until then, the whipped feta appetizer I got is honestly almost dessert like itself with the honey and lemon giving it a tart freshness!

Coconut sorbet and Turkish pot de creme
Jershawn H.

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.

Crispy Falafel (5)
Danielle V.

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.

Deviled Eggs
Katie H.

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!

Menu on the outdoor patio - June 2025
Bri K.

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.

Hummus & Deviled Eggs
Derrick G.

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.

Cool cocktails. They were able to amend our order due to my partners celiac. Yummy food!

They have amazing cocktails and can amend some dishes if you have allergies. Yummy food!

The app for three came with pita bread, falafel, hummus with babaganous, tzatiziki, and dolma. The falafel had a wonderful herby flavor, but was really soft and nearly mushy. The hummus was okay, a nice texture but was just okay. The tzatiziki was herby, a member mentioned it was too sour for her, but another enjoyed it quite a bit. The pita was soft, but just didn't have much flavor and tasted a bit old. I had the gyro sandwich with fries. The food was not hot and the meat lacked charring. The cuts were uneven and the fries were just fries. A member of my party ordered the chicken sharma. The rice was delious! Fluffy and had a wonderful flavor with turmeric and some other spices. Her meat was also cooked nicely, but honestly just lacked flavor. The salads of both the shish kabobs and the chicken Sharma were fresh but had really uneven cuts. The shish kabob meat was beautifully charred however the meat was cool. Also the rice lacked flavor and was only saved by the cliantro lemon vingrette. The drinks were nice. We got cucumber, lemongrass, and hibsus. They were all mild in flavor which paired well with the food. Honestly everything was lacking depth and care.

It was about a three minute drive from where I was, and I decided to go in and get a Lamb Shawarma. I am a big fan of shawarmas and I have had many different types from many different middle east countries, so I went in with high standards, especially after reading the reviews. The service was friendly and nothing to complain about. Ambiance wise, this is a place where you go up to the counter and order your food and seat yourself and eat. It is not a sit-down restaurant or a place with waiter service. The Shawarma came out close to $20. It came with fries as well. The fries were not anything out of the ordinary but the shawarma itself was not very seasoned. The meat was cooked fine and there were no red flags, but I think the seasoning was very underwhelming. Maybe I didn't order the right thing, but I think a shawarma is pretty standard. I would probably not return, if given the chance.

And when it's a Greek restaurant on top of that, that's basically a recipe for perfection. You can smell this place from blocks away. By the time you get to the parking lot, you're already salivating in anticipation. Vampires be warned: you're not getting within a half mile of this place! Sure, not everything was perfect about our meal: the Sarmisak (garlic dip with walnuts and parmesan) didn't do much for us, and my wife ended up preferring my Bahce over her grill plate (I can't remember the name of it), so we ended up swapping dishes. The Turkish Cigars were a huge hit with both of us, although we both wished they were a bit larger. I'm not sure I quite "get" the running aesthetic going on here at "The White House", as well as their sister establishments "The Oval Office", "The Pentagon", and "The Capitol". I mean, I get the theme, but...why? I don't get the Why of it all. Regardless, it's immaterial. The food is awesome, and worthy of a President. Well, not our current President...but one of the good ones, for sure! The staff are efficient, somehow buzzing about all over the place, managing the chaos (this place was PACKED on a Saturday night), but still managed to be friendly, attentive and focused. And despite ordering two cocktails, two appetizers, and two entreés, our bill was somehow still less than $100, I'd say that you definitely get your money's worth here! Hell, we even took enough leftover back to our hotel to keep us fed almost the entire next day! In short, I would vote whomever is running THIS White House in for a second term...and a third...and a fourth!

It was more to do with the healthy quotient and the taste and the value for money.

And then a friend thought if there were any rest rooms down that corner .. we surely didn't find any rest rooms but we did find a Pita Pit :) But then all of a sudden all those memories came flooding by .. countless lunches .. and the hopes went up like a rocket .. Got a pita sandwich each in a whole wheat pita .. one was falafel and the other with buffalo chicken .. and yeah thank God that they lived upto the expectations .. Surprisingly the falafel pita was absolutely gorgeous .. I am not sure if we looked it through but missed the topping of nuts that we have in india .. a sprinkle of pinenuts is just awesome .. otherwise no concerns.. none. All in all, so glad that we took a surprise pitstop at pita pit the other day otherwise we would just be making speculations on how good would be that pita sandwich. Go for it :)
