This is an amazing place to dine. I was in St Pete for 10 days and ended up here twice on my own at the bar and once on a date for dinner. All 3 experiences were exceptional. Nice wine selections.

Wow! What a restaurant. Here visiting from Denver. We were drawn in by the outside aesthtics of rhe place and the upbeat mediterranian music. Little did we know the food would be amazing. Very different frim mt experience at other med reataurants. We had the gem salad, lamb sausage, snapper kabob, and baklava. All were fresh, very tasty and good portion size. I have never tasted a gem salad before, it was delicious! Fresh , light, very good lemony dressing. I highly rexommend this place!

Have been frequenting BaBa since they opened a few years ago, used to be a favorite. Dined there on Wed 4/3, it was a new menu- I was very disappointed… all of the portions are now mini portions for the same price or more. The new menu is way too small/ limited. We ordered 2 bottles of wine, cocktails, 3 dip spreads, olives, extra bread, 4 small plates and 2 “large plates”, 2 desserts, and we all left hungry and disappointed after spending so much money. $30 something dollars for 2 tiny lamb lollipops feels excessive…same with the steak shishkabob which was 3-4 small cubes of steak on 1 skewer per the whole order- not enough volume for the price.The only large plate offerings were roasted chicken w/ nuts (two of us have nut allergies so couldn’t have the chicken), lamb neck (no thanks), and a whole fish (we did get one for $70 but it wasn’t enough food for 3 adults). The crème brûlée was not good, we didn’t even eat it after the first bite. I hope they can make some changes to the menu and bring back the baba we once loved.

Beautiful outdoor patio. Wonderful ambiance. And even better food. One of my favorite spots in St Pete. Highly recommend for a night out for shared plates, great food, and a relaxed and fun environment.

This place is a joke.The owners should have spent more money on a great chef who’s creative and has skill than the decor. Please know it will be busy inside but it’s a hoax. Go for drinks. Leave for food. It’s hot garbage. So many places way better. Just know that you will be disappointed to the point you will continue to tell multiple people it sucks. Baba canceled ?

No flavor.The chicken was very dry. Nothing was good. Very bland.

Brunch is lovely here. Relaxing venue to much on shared plates. The outdoor seating, walled off from the street by lush greens makes you forget where you are.We found the spreads, fries, and souvlaki delicious. Their cocktails were on point too.
