Amazing food! Great flavours, so fresh! Will definitely come back again! The falafel was crispy and the chicken was moist!

Part of my meal was a little cold. All the flavors are there and the space although a bit dirty is aesthetically pleasing.

We've ordered here 3 times & staff was always friendly & food always came out with on time. Chicken is flavorful. Eggplant is great. Cucumber salad & cabbage fresh & crunchy. Bowls are a good portion size for price. read more

Placed a 6:30 PM takeout order, but it wasn't ready until 7:00 PM. When we arrived to pick it up, staff dismissed the delay as being "a little bit behind," but a 30-minute wait for a scheduled pickup is unacceptable. Very poor communication and zero respect for the customer's time. read more

This place has become my go to for lunch - healthy and tasty and good value (especially steak bowl). Everything is super fresh - in house pita, hummus, falafel! read more

Great spot in Victoria! Definitely worth getting a meal here if you're in town! We started with the crispy eggplant. It was perfectly fried, with nutty tahini to dip into. We also had a few chicken shawarmas, falafel bowl, soup and beer. Oh yeah, they have beer on tap! So nice! Everything was great! Well, my son did t love his soup but he was so hungry, he ate it anyway! We saw them making their own pita bread! That's so awesome! Highly recommend! read more

For lunch, I went to Superbaba, and it was excellent. It's important that they create fresh pita breads every day. In a heated oven, you can see them baking the bread. Pita bread has a soft, slightly chewy texture. The falafel wrap I ordered was fantastic. The fritters made of chickpeas were crunchy. The wrap's crisp, fresh vegetables were wonderful. Exquisite flavours are present. I adore their contemporary style appeal. Great service! I also made the decision to try the turmeric cookie. I loved the rose water as well as the turmeric. In my perspective, the rose water adds a really distinctive and special flowery note. The cookie's texture was pleasing, with a somewhat crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior. read more

One of my favourite places in Victoria (so far) for a quick bite. The falafel's are warm and crunchy, the cauliflowers and hummus flavours blend so deliciously together and the salad is a hearty cucumber heavy crunchy mix. Their pita is so fluffy and fresh. I'm not a fan of pickled turnips in any form, so I omit those but they can add a nice zesty crunch to the party bowl. read more

Superbaba - Falafel bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Great value. The fried eggplant wrap was amazing and only $13. Hard to find this particular Israeli street food but Superbaba does it well. The chicken and steak wraps were also great. Friendly efficient service and a stylish interior. Worth the visit and affordable. read more

We stopped here for a light dinner and loved every second of it! Easy counter ordering set up and then they call your name when finished. Decent number of tables inside to eat at. Delicious bowls and wraps. We were a group of 4 and tried the falafel, and chicken bowls/wraps. All were delicious. A nice fresh lunch/ dinner option that's different from the rest. If I lived in the area it would be a regular stop for me. Flavorful and healthy! A win win for me. My MIL got the mint lemonade - it was awesome! read more

Food was great as was the service. I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the Sabich bowl. The ingredients were fresh and the eggplant was crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside. Would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Superbaba is a neon-lighted restaurant offering casual, Israeli-inspired wraps and bowls in a dineresque setting. The bowls were built on a base of greens and yellow turmeric rice, and the Falafel Bowl came with three falafels, fried cauliflower, hummus, tomato/cucumber salad, and pickled turnips, and the entire bowl was drizzled with tahini, spicy green shug, and a spicy red sauce. The falafel balls were rather greasy and overfried, but the lemony hummus was nice and creamy, and the salads and pickles had a nice refreshing crunch. I also tried the Steak Bowl, which came with juicy pieces of grilled steak along with hummus, sumac onions, and pickled cucumbers. The flavors of both the bowls were on point, and everything went nicely with the triangles of thin, chewy pita bread we ordered on the side. Though not the most authentic-tasting Israeli eats, everything here made for a good-value, delicious, and healthy meal. read more

Superbaba - Falafel bowl FTW - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Don't get me wrong, the food is amazing, the pita baked fresh everyday. What disturbs me about this place is that it was 11:58 am; two minutes before opening. I had just witnessed someone leaving the restaurant as I was nearing the door. I pulled on it and realized it was locked, the employee inside pointing to his imaginary watch; "it opens at noon." I had a bottle of red wine in a fabric shopping bag and somehow it slipped from my wrist and broke right in front of the door. The worker looked stunned! I thought the person that had just left the door unlocked. Businesses must not be hurting that bad, back in the day it would have been open a few minutes before, perhaps by someone running a quick errand just before opening or by a worker standing behind the counter watching the traffic go by. He wasn't doing anything! I just don't get people these days. If you're the owner maybe you should have a chat with your employees about what good customer service is. Careful though, you may hurt their feelings and some may quit. read more

Giving it 4 stars, although they might be having an off day? Chicken is great; steak has wonderful flavour; Hummus is 7/10. Baba Ganouche is mediocre.... Tough to judge service in this day and age, but they could be upping the game a bit, especially if they want tot appear as trendy as the location , music and industrial look as it's set out. The wrap however was put together an little strange... read more

Superbaba - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

What a tasty treat!!! We had a falafel wrap and a chicken wrap, and both were fantastic. The fresh pita bread was very tender and just the right thickness. I'm not really a sandwich eater since they tend to be a little dry for me, but this wasn't dry at all and the flavors blended perfectly. I'd be happy to eat here again. read more

With a name like Superbaba, we knew it was an experience we had to have during our trip to Victoria. The restaurant, with its high ceilings and neon signs, specializes in Mediterranean dishes that you can take out. We tried a chicken wrap with delicious Schwarma chicken, crispy cabbage, French fries, and sauce all wrapped in a fresh pita wrap. So yummy! The others ordered a chicken bowl and beef bowl, with meat resting on a bed of greens and grains. Very flavorful. Next trip we hope to try their infamous turmeric cookies! read more

Caveat: I'm not a Mediterranean food person. The husband is though. I can still appreciate good Mediterranean food though and both of us give Superpapa four stars. The falafel sando was the best. Next best was the fried eggplant with egg sando. In last place was our salad of chicken served over lentils/rice and a dressed salad which was still fine. The best part was the baba g. The only disappointment was the pita on the sandos. Were were looking forward to warm pita but this was not. read more

You can find some cool places wandering around at night in new cities. I was happy to find some middle Eastern food spot open late that wasn't a late night stereotypical schwarma joint. It was a pretty nice spot as there was plenty of room to sit, and the food was prepared pretty quick. They had some pretty groovy tunes on as well, so it was a nice relaxing break from late night wandering. I order the Sabich Bowl ($12) which was a great price for the amount of flavor that came packed into the dish. The main component of the dish was fried eggplant dressed with zhug hot sauce, which was this green creamy sauce with a little bit of spice and a touch of sweetness. Then there was the mango amba sauce for extra sweetness on the side, which I didn't use much of. Under the eggplant were some tasty greens, a cucumber tomato salad, and some chilled rice with roasted chickpeas. God the chickpeas we're good, I'm gonna try roasting chickpeas myself one day. This isn't somewhere I'd take someone to dine, it's a place I'd easily take someone for a cheap and quick bite to eat. The food has plenty of variety, and the restaraunt has a hefty amount of character. Is be happy to come back to try their other dishes if I was in Victoria more often. read more

Superbaba - Sabich Bowl ($12) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This is the perfect place to pickup healthy food during the pandemic! Great middle-Eastern Lebanese food, wraps and bowls, Shawarma, Falafel, Hummus, Steak, Pita. Order online, call, or in-person. There's a large indoor area to safely wait for your food. I've ordered here three times in the last couple of weeks, and I've been amazed each time at how large the portions have been. I especially like their secure yet easy to open wraps and environmentally-conscious take-out containers. Nice touch! read more

I always get the chicken bowl and it's always so good. I add the extra chicken and it's like 2 meals in one. I love that the portion sizes are always generous. this place is a favourite! read more

Wow! We got the falafal bowl with a side of fried eggplant and it was so excellent we are going back for lunch tomorrow. Every ingredient was light, fresh, and flavorful. I wish I lived here so I could enjoy this spot on the regular! read more

Great tasting food, but the customer service hasn't ever been top notch. And whether I've had a problem it's generally been a shoulder shrug - that's just the way it is attitude. Today After suggesting a website taking an order when the restaurant is closed is ridiculous I was informed that I'm being ridiculous. Sorry. In this case the customer is 100% in the right. the restaurant is doing the right thing by refunding the order but could have simply said sorry and refunded the money. Now. You've lost me as a customer and inspired me to share the story. So again food tastes good but the lasting taste in my mouth having dealt with this place is awful read more

This place is a new collaboration between the owners of Tacofino and Cafe Medina in Vancouver. Both powerhouse institutions in Van, anything to come from these guys is sure to be well thought out and tasty. This place is those things and more. It's a welcome replacement to what was there before (Pig). Superbaba is fresh, healthy, and delicious fast food, that tastes nothing like fast food. You can get most items in either falafel, chicken, or steak versions. You can then make them into either sandwiches, green bowls, or grain bowls. The pita is soft, gooey and doughy. Just as they should be. They only make a fixed amount in the morning and when they run out - they're out. Good motivation to go early while they're still around. You can always check their Instagram before you go, as they generally post when they run out. The halva iced coffee is really good, it's a combination of grain/nut flavours and is found all over the Middle East, mainly in sweets. Prices are pretty reasonable for everything except for the side cauliflower... which is a whopping 9$. You could practically order another main meal for that. It's not even large either, so not sure what they were thinking with that. Overall, the food reminded me a lot of Nuba in Vancouver - no bad thing. If you're into Middle Eastern food/shawarma then I'd definitely recommend it. read more

Superbaba - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Horrible place with over priced food, and it's really not worth the price, not value oriented. I ordered the steak sandwich and my wife ordered the chicken bowl. The food was cold overall and this unappetizing. Worst of all, the food immediately gave me the runs!! Had to go to the washroom 3 times over the next hour and a half. There's not reason for undercooked or contaminated food!! Do Not Go Here!! I wish I had the option for negative stars! Update: the owner responded and instead of taking ownership of the negative experience at his restaurant, and trying to take step to mend his mistakes, he instead chose to diminish my feelings in a crass and negative manner and dismissed my review. This restaurant owner should really think twice about how to treat customers...this is absolutely disgusting behaviour from anyone , let alone this restaurant owner. I would not wish this on anyone!! read more

Very, very delicious. I was looking for a quick healthy meal and this place definitely fulfilled my quest. Every component of the dish was done perfectly and totally drool-worthy. I wish Vancouver had a location, I'd eat there everyday. read more

Superbaba - Chicken Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

The Superbaba falafel wrap is super delish... Starting with the housemade sourdough pita baked in the wood fired oven. The bread comes out of the pit all puffed up, flame-licked and deliciously chewy. The chickpea falafel balls are a divine juxtaposition: deep fried golden crisp on outside and soft and fluffy on inside. They are made to order in the scratch kitchen, and are a medley of flavour with garlic, onion, cumin, coriander and a vibrant green with cilantro and parsley. The toppings are fried cauliflower, fresh tomato, parsley, pickled red cabbage, tahini sauce, and 'shug' the most popular condiment in Middle Eastern cuisine - a fiery herby green sauce with cilantro, garlic and spices. All together the wrap tasted fresh and delicious. And under $10! All ingredients sourced locally, even the chickpeas are 100% Canadian. It's trendy west coast meets traditional Middle East! Superbaba is a popular place so expect a wait for your takeout, especially at lunch rush (it was a zip zag line at noon on a Wednesday!). Compliments to the masterminds behind Tacofino, Café Medina and The Dallah Menu for collaborating and coming up with this gem of a place. Downtown Victoria is so lucky to have super popular, super tasty Superbaba. read more

This place makes me very happy! Every bite is full of flavour that's incredible! Since moving to Victoria from Montreal we have sorely been missing good quality middle eastern food and now have found our happy place. You will not be disappointed! read more

Food was fresh, reasonably priced, quick and most importantly... absolutely delicious! Service was friendly, and the aesthetic of the restaurant was superb. The steak kebab sandwich, although verrrrry oily at the end of the sandwich was simply amazing. I was worried that it would be too spicy for my weak tastebuds, but it had just enough bite to enjoy. The falafel, hummus and fries all made fantastic sides. The spiked iced tea was very different and would definitely recommend. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find this good middle eastern joint on our visit to Victoria! The cauliflower dish was yummy with Tahina, the freshly made lafa Pita bread was great as well as the Apple Baklava. I'd come back next time I visit Victoria. read more

This is a go-to eatery for me. Expect a limited menu of always-delicious fare with ample portions. The flavours and texture combinations are so enjoyable; it's a safe place to step out of your comfort zone and try something new! My only complaint about this place is the noise made by chairs scraping on the hard floor plus music volume and lousy acoustics can make for a bit of cacophony at times. (If I owned this establishment there would be felt pads on those chair legs--not a complete solution, but an improvement...) read more

The food here is SO GOOD. I had the Sabich bowl both times and I cannot get enough! Perfect seasoning, so flavourful, and a good portion. I have also tried the chicken shawarma bowl, and it was good as well. Victoria doesnt have very many Middle-Eastern type restaurants, so this was a welcome addition to the city! read more

So we were in Vic for the day from Vancouver and were looking forward to trying this Medina/Tacofino collaboration. And hoorah for what were were treated to! I had the chicken sammich and shared a side of fried cauliflower. Both were over-the-top in terms of flavour. The sandwich has loads of sumac-laden goodness, and was piled with fresh and pickled crunchy. The pita was chewy and sensuous. I'm not sure if I've called a breadstuff sensuous before? The cauliflower was en pointe too. I can tell they're trying to do their own take on Nuba's fried cauliflower (aka Najib's Special). Superbaba's is a bit less fried, a bit less scorched, and a bit crunchier. But it is absolutely packed with a punch of tangy flavour that you'll be sure to say "zowie" over. read more

Staff, service and food were all just as they should be. Very happy with our visit there while on vacation downtown. Would like to have the opportunity to go again. read more

Good food, affordable price. Enjoyed the chicken plate with half grains, half salad. Really yummy. A piece of pita bread would have really topped it off. Also had the cauliflower with sesame paste sauce-also good. Friendly staff. Very casual atmosphere, order at counter. Good rock music though not in theme with the food. Wish there was one of these near home. read more

The Sabich bowl was amazing ! Delicious and crispy fried eggplant. Perfect cooked and flavorful rice. Salad was delicious too. The falafel bow was nice too but the falafels themselves could have been better with some more flavor and texture. Overall a great experience nonetheless read more

The food is pretty good, but in my opinion just a bit pricey for something that's only going to last me one meal. But not pricey enough to dissuade me from eating there. I really enjoy their lemonade, brownies, and the chicken wrap. Their fries aren't my favorite I think that's my personal preference. Everyone else I know loves them! read more

I went to the opening day of their food truck on Burrard. They had some trouble with the crowd and orders (which was very interested for good reason), but it's first day pains. The food turned out to be really good. I'm not crazy about Lebanese food, but a friend really wanted to go so I gave it a shot. It was really good stuff. If you're trying to give someone a good intro to Lebanese food, or change their mind on it, this is the place to go. Even the fries are good. read more
