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 honestly didn't expect it to be this good. The potatoes were some of the best I've ever had, the garlic sauce was perfectly made, & the shawarma sandwich was delicious.
Coming from Ottawa, I have to admit that Montreal has some of the best Middle Eastern food.

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.
