Welcome to Baba Hamdi, the best Egyptian restaurant located in Châteauguay. Operated by none other than Chef Hamdi (with over 40 years of experience and former owner of La Villa Bella and Coin méchoui), the restaurant offers a tantalizing menu featuring colorful and flavorful dishes. Mixed grills, shish taouks, shawarmas, authentic Egyptian dishes such as moussaka and shakshuka, chicken, salads... everything is mouth-watering.
Baba Hamdi offers authentic Egyptian cuisine in a warm, beautifully decorated space with an open kitchen that adds to the charm. Dishes are consistently delicious and generously portioned, with the homemade hummus often stealing the show and sometimes prompting customers to buy extra to take home.

Service is repeatedly praised as friendly and attentive, with reviewers noting a welcoming atmosphere and a hands on owner, even if a few mention a slower pace at times. Prices are described as a bit higher than some places, but the portions and overall quality are seen as worth the cost. The atmosphere is cozy and adaptable, with options for private rooms and events that make Baba Hamdi a good choice for celebrations as well as everyday dining. Overall, the restaurant emerges as a standout for authentic Egyptian comfort food, delivering bold flavors, generous portions and a memorable experience that guests are eager to repeat.
I had the vegetarian platter & it was very tasty, nicely presented & the portions were good. The hummus & warm Egyptian style pita was delicious. My wife had the grilled lamb & big smiles all around.
My father in law used to make us all the staple foods from Egypt. We didn't appreciate how spoiled we were until he passed away a year ago. I brought my mother in law to Baba Hamdi so we could eat the dishes we once had every day around her dining table & baba Hamdi did not disappoint. The Ramadan menu included macaroni béchamel & it only added to our experience.
I am very greatful for this restaurant & being able to enjoy a bit of Egypt here in Chateauguay.

Baba Hamdi cuisine égyptienne delivers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. From the outside, you'd never guess how stunning the interior is! Once inside, you're welcomed by warm, traditional décor that feels both authentic & inviting. The open-style layout is a great touch, allowing you to watch the owner preparing dishes in the kitchen, which adds to the charm & authenticity of the experience.
The food was fantastic across the board, but the homemade hummus truly stole the show. It was so good that I ended up buying two containers to take home. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with care & attention to detail. The owner is incredibly kind & welcoming, clearly passionate about his food & his restaurant, & the wait staff were equally friendly & attentive.
While it's a bit pricier, the portion sizes & quality more than justify the cost. This is an easy return spot, & honestly, I'd come back just for the hummus alone. An outstanding experience all around.
We went to this restaurant a while back because we wanted to try authentic Egyptian food. We were very impressed with everything. The salad, bread & hummus he brings out before the main dish is fresh & delicious. The main course we had involved chicken & rice & it was very good as well. It was well worth the wait since that's the only drawback we could find. Which is that the service is a bit slow but acceptable for the quality you're getting. You can tell the owner cares about the quality of the food he serves.
C'est une connaissance que leur famille ont eu un souper d'anniversaire est ils ont tous adorer la nourriture le service était sympa & l'atmosphère agréable.
Je compte y aller moi & ma fille & m'en rendre compte par moi même!

Nous avons fait notre souper de Noël du travail dans leur salle au 2ieme étage. C'était parfait ! Nous pouvions mettre notre musique, le service était impeccable & la nourriture vraiment délicieuse. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir la salle à nous seul, ce qui était encore plus agréable. Je recommande ce resto à tous !
Excellent service à la clientèle ! J'ai fait une demande plutôt ambitieuse au restaurant & je m'attendais honnêtement à ce qu'on me la refuse. La serveuse & le cuisinier ont largement dépassé mes attentes. Merci pour votre ouverture & votre professionnalisme !
S'il y a plus de 5 étoiles. J'allais donné.
Vraiment très délicieux, propre & bon prix.
Une place très recommandée.
Il y a aussi une très grande salle pour tous les occasions.

Being Egyptian, we've been looking for a good Egyptian restaurant for a while. & we are super glad we found Baba Hamdi. We made the drive from Terrebonne because we wanted to try, & boy are we happy that we did!
Everything was delicious, prices reasonable, & everything authentic.
Koshari, kofta, molokhia… I'm getting hungry that typing this out. Not to mention finishing the evening with some mint tea. Just a perfect evening for my mother's birthday.
If you want to visit Egypt & not fly halfway accross the globe this is the spot to be. Amazing comfort food with a smooth authentic ambiance. Service is exemplary & by god the hummus is to die for. Thank you baba hamdi
