Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro

We waited nearly half an hour for our to-go order to be ready. We have difficulty ordering. The cashier did not understand our order. And so the order was wrong and we didn't discover till we got home. The chicken was tough and chewy. Everything was very bland. Sadly we will probably not go back. Bosphorus is much better.

Vegetarian options: I've ordered both Vegetarian and non Vegetarian from here, love it all.

The wait times were a bit long but it was well worth it for the rich flavorful food. Especially the chicken shwarma which gives big portions.

The food was amazing. It also had some dairy free options. The salads are super fresh, the hummus is delicious and the fries were spectacular. We love how this place has not changed in over 10 years. Have always loved this place and will keep coming back.

Baba Ghannouj is an authentic Mediterranean casual spot that offers delicious kabob, lamb shank, and gyro plates.

Went here for the first time on a rainy Sunday with my girl. Place was mostly filled when we entered, and we had a bit of a tough time to look at the menu of top of the cashier because of how it's positioned in front of a tight space between the order counter and a dining table, so we took 1 of their menu pamphlets instead and sat down.

I got the $18 Lamb Kabob platter (2 skewers); my girl got the $16+ Lamb Shank (Moroccan Style) platter. Both each comes with either salad or rice, pita bread, and 2 sides of out choice. We both chose baba ghannouj as a side, and I chose Tzatziki sauce while her other side is falafel (2 pieces).

Both dishes were served fast. They called when both orders were ready for me to pick up the trays instead of bringing them to our table. They also forgot the falafel but when I asked, an employee served itvright away with a tiny plastic cup of creamy sauce.

Lamb shank was served on a separate plastic plate from the rest of the platter. My girl was satisfied with the taste and size of the shank; I also tried it, and we thought the lamb was well-cooked and the brown sauce added flavor flawlessly. They surely know how to cook lamb right!

My lamb kabob also tasted delicious, well-spiced, but we expected a bit more meat. I chose rice for the platter while my girl chose salad. Both rice and salad are standard for casual Mediterranean, tasted fresh. The bread and Tatziki sauce also went well with our platters, and while the baba ghannouj also went well with the meal but we've tried better baba ghannouj before. It's not bad, just not the best.

The side that really impressed us was the 2 pieces of falaffel. We each ate one, and we enjoyed every bite. It was well-seasoned, well-cooked with perfect texture and flavors enhanced with the sauce that came with it. We craved for more falafels but our stomachs were already satisfied after devouring everything from our platters.

While the ambiance and customer service of Baba Ghannouj weren't as good as we hoped, their authentic food quality is a major reason to return here. Plastic utensils without plastics covering them may turn off people concerned of sanitation, and the lack of photos in their menu suggest they don't prioritize customer service much,

As I was driving home, I could still savor the pleasant aftertaste of delicious lamb and fresh falafel.

I love this place but they lost their best cook, Giselle. Her chicken shawarmas were fabulous, truly. I will give them another try after going for many years.......hoping they find a good replacement chef.

My dad used to order from here a lot and when I was visiting him from NJ, I'd get hummus or baklava and theyre delicious, back then and now- consistent. We moved here and idk why I never ordered from here that much, maybe because I'm so stupid!! The chicken shawarma is PHENOMINAL. The meat is perfect bite sizes, the pita is not too overbearing, the pickle bites are just enough and the french fry bites are dreamy. I get it way too much. I just got the grape leaves and theyre the best Ive ever had. Their rice sent me on a quest to recreate in my own kitchen at home, never ever quite as good. If you havent tried their food, you havent lived. Im not even joking. Ps shawarma is NOT for sharing. Get yer own. 🫡

I love the food here, they have the best chicken shawarma and falafel.
Today one of the employees started playing really loud music. It was pretty rude. But at least the food is good.

They make the best falafel wrap we have had in the RTP area. The place is small but authentic and consistency is their hall mark. You get the same good food, every time. Prices are surprisingly low. This has been one of our surprise finds on our days of desperation! Check it out, you wont regret! Recommend falafel wraps, fries, baklavas. Friendly service.
