Reviewers consistently praise Baba Shawarma for flavorful, generously portioned Lebanese dishes with juicy meat, fresh sauces, and homemade saj bread, often calling it the best shawarma in the south shore. The service is described as fast, friendly and welcoming, with a clean, cozy vibe and portions that feel like good value. Menu highlights such as shawarma (beef and chicken), shish taouk, kafta, and plates with pickled veggies on saj are noted for authenticity and generous toppings, with many mentioning leftovers that still taste great. A few comments mention minor issues like occasional busy moments or table cleanliness, but overall the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive and the restaurant is recommended as a top choice for shawarma and Lebanese flavors in the area.
We had the spécial famille for 3 people & we just loved it! So much food that we had many leftovers. The food quality was top notch. So tasty! So good! we have come back again & we're not disappointed. This is how much food was left over after 3 adults ate their meal.
Even though the service was fast, the counter waiter was wearing an earpiece & was almost shouting when taking our orders. He was still respectful but it just felt a bit distant & unpleasant. The food itself was tasty. I really enjoyed the thin bread that they offee. Unlike the thick pita bread, the thinner bread has a much crispier texture & it makes the ratio of bread & toppings much more balanced in my opinion & I enjoyed it so much more. The meat inside was also tender & enjoyable. While the sauce was leaking a hit everywhere, it was pretty flavourful & complemented the rest of the ingredients pretty well. The overall was quite tasty & filling as well. For around 10$ , you can enjoy a large shhawarma bread which tasted great. The restaurant was also surprisingly clean. Considering how messy it gets when we eat, I was happy to see that the tables were not greasy nor sticky. I do wish though that they would serve the food on plates or trays. It would make me feel less guilty when I am making a mess when eating my food. Finally, we were the only table that night & the fire kept opening for take out orders which made the dining experience a bit less pleasant but the overall was still quite enjoyable.
Tried Baba Shawarma for the first time today & I'm so lucky I did. This takeout of Shish is delicious, even the hot peppers were tasty. I have zero complaints & can't even think of anything they need to improve. Great service, great food, great portions, great price. Got this Shish plate & it was absolutely delicious… even have leftovers for my lunch tomorrow!
Great spot for a quick & filling meal! Baba Shawarma serves generous portions that definitely hit the spot. The place was clean & well-kept, with plenty of parking available. It wasn't busy when I went, so service was fast & smooth. Perfect if you're looking for something tasty without the wait.

Great food, simple seating arrangement. They give you a few extra touches that you don't get from the chains, making it a tad more authentic. Tasty vine leaves, well balanced garlic sauce & delicious meat! Well done baba!
Nice & clean place. The owner was pleasant & chatty. Reminiscing about home. I had the shish tawook sandwich that was advertised as a special. Do keep an eye on how much meat is put in your sandwich. It tends to be on the low end. Overall a good tasty meal at a reasonable price.
Super delicious, its the first time i taste the real Lebanese shawrma as home. I mean same as Lebanon. Clean place, tasty , great price & premium quality.
