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.

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.

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
