Review Summary

Overall, reviews paint a mixed picture of Baba with some dishes flagged as inconsistent: some find the chicken dry and the salad not fresh and a few experiences end with upset stomach, while others praise the rice and the cabbage salad and describe the shawarma and beef as flavorful, with the potatoes and garlic sauce often highlighted as exceptional and the extras making the meal worthwhile. The fries are frequently described as a standout, sometimes said to be among the best in Montreal, and the price is seen as good value by many. Service is mentioned as pleasant but could be friendlier, and several comments urge more consistent quality, but there are strong recommendations for simple, quick meals with notable sides.

i got the chicken plate, honestly just trust the other reviews & save yourself the money wasted on this. The chicken is so dry it tasted like something that's been under a hot lamp for hours. The salad was not fresh at all. I had an upset stomach after a couple bites. Would not try again ever …

I liek the rice here a lot & the cabbage salad is quite good, but the last few times I went but the chicken & beef were quite dried out & not that enjoyable, which is disappointing. Not my go to in the food court anymore, but decent.

As someone who grew up in the Middle East, I am incredibly critical of middle eastern food, but I have to say, this place is spectacular. Seems very unassuming - mall food court, yet it's genuinely a hidden gem. I got the chicken shawarma plate & everything was delicious; the hummus (actually tasted authentic & not like the garbage they sell at the grocery store), the chicken was juicy with crispy edges, the rice was aromatic, & the salads were actually salads & not some dry greens. I'm very impressed. Will certainly come again next time I'm in Montreal.

I absolutely loved their chicken shawarma. Amazing. The chicken was juicy, everything was fresh. Yum. I highly recommend this place. I went in & placed another order for the same, it was that good !! 🥹

It's a Lebanese restaurant, we got the chicken & beef grill & a shawarma. Food is prepped fresh, but it took a while. We're not Lebanese, but it sure tasted great. Garlic sauce was the most flavorful I've ever tasted. The fried potatoes & beef were really tasty. The chicken shawarma was a bit dry though.
