Dans l'ensemble, les avis sur Restaurant Baba reflètent une expérience variable: des frites particulièrement croustillantes et une sauce a l'ail bien réussie accompagnent des shawarmas savoureux et des portions généreuses qui offrent un bon rapport qualité-prix, et certaines descriptions évoquent des saveurs qui rappellent le Liban; mais d'autres retours soulignent des plats parfois secs, notamment le poulet et le boeuf, des salades qui manquent de fraîcheur et parfois des inconforts digestifs après les repas; le service est aussi rapporté avec des observations allant d'un accueil chaleureux a une cordialité moins marquée; en somme, Restaurant Baba peut etre une option rapide et plaisante pour ceux qui aiment des accompagnements et des pommes de terre remarquables, tout en restant conscient que la qualité peut varier d'une visite a l'autre et que certains plats ne font pas toujours l'unanimité.
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.

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 got the mixed version. All I can say it was just full of oil (the meat the rice, the potatos). The sauce was terrible, & they didn't go with the flavor of the meat. The vegetables were not fresh, & they tasted weried. It tasted awful. I don't recommend this.
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.
Je suis désolé de laisser mon avis, mais je suis déçu pour la qualité de nos plats aujourd'hui. Nous avons l'habitude de venir manger un pita au boeuf depuis aumoins une année avec ma copine, mais aujourd'hui nous avons payé pour deux plats dont la saveur manquait. C'est dommage, car nous aimons beaucoup venir içi. Je laisse mon avis en espérant la considération des cuisiniers pour que notre prochaine fois (ainsi que celle de tous ses clients) soit meilleure.
Working very quickly. As an English speaker I was able to communicate well with the French speaking staff. Generous portions. Not my favorite flavour profiles personally but overall good & filling .
Food court style Lebanese food is hard to nail & this place doesn't seem to do enough to separate itself over your usual boustan/basha/Amir-tier place. Despite the heart & uplifting spirit of its joyful staff, the shawarma/shishtaouk meat ends up dry & of ungenerous portion because its pre-cut & left to cook-off. Fatouch salad feels uninspired & generic. Perhaps their strength lies in their grills... But in a world where grilled specialized places exist, I fear they need to improve the freshness of their meat or disappear...
