The potatoes were too salty. The shawarma wrap wasn't too bad. A bit less expensive than others in the area.

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.

I ordered a beef shawarma pita trio & it was the best one I ever had. The potatoes were amazing & the extra garlic sauce was the cherry on top. Great food, amazing value.

Baba in Complex Desjardins is a good spot for a quick meal. The shawarma is fairly ordinary & nothing special, but the fried potatoes that come with it are exceptional-crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & easily some of the best in Montréal. While the main dish may not stand out, the fries alone make it worth stopping by. A solid choice if you're craving something simple with truly amazing sides.

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.

4.0

They make really good shawarma & garlic potatoes. They are also generous enough to fill your box. The owners are very professional & friendly . However, sometimes their employees make mistakes on orders : I visited this place several times & had my order wrong few times alongside other customers. Can't really blame them because this shopping center is brutally busy during lunch/dinner hours, but still. Overall, a really good place for Lebanese food. I wish this place can have more branches of, they can maintain this quality
