Restaurant Baba recueille des avis globalement positifs sur la fraîcheur des ingrédients, la qualité des viandes et une approche savoureuse où le poulet est tendre, légèrement épicé et relevé par le citron, avec un riz bien cuit, des pommes de terre croustillantes et une sauce ail bien équilibrée; la salade de mangue et le fatouche sont appréciés en fin de repas, et le personnel est décrit comme accueillant dans un cadre propre, offrant un bon rapport qualité prix pour un repas rapide; toutefois certains commentaires font état d'incohérences, avec du poulet ou du bœuf parfois sec ou fade, des salades pas toujours fraîches et des plats principaux qui ne répondent pas toujours aux attentes, ce qui montre des expériences variables.
Très bon service la plupart du temps.
C'est vraiment très bon. Le boeuf shawarma est succulent. & ils sont généreux quand ils garnissent les assiettes/sandwichs.
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.
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...
This located inside shopping mall food court. Had mix shawarma plate good taste but service staff could explain meal before add bcs some sauce I don't like but they added without asked that's the only issue. But food fast food comparing other places.
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.
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
