What reviewers say about Baba Chef
People say this Mediterranean restaurant serves delicious gyros, shawarma, and falafel. They highlight the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and flavorful dishes. They also like the friendly and welcoming service.
“I LOVE this place!!! I have ordered it online a few times but I just stopped in on my way home, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating and welcoming the chef is. I absolutely ADORE the food here, and the chef is open late, which I really appreciate. I got lamb over hummus this time and it was spectacular!!! I really cannot recommend it more. The hummus is the perfect texture, the lamb was out of this world. I love the pita as well and the hot sauce. You can tell that the chef here pours his heart and his soul into his work. The best part of my experience was stopping in and saying hello. Thank you for sharing your love for what you do with us 💛”
“I love that my Chicken Gyro was filled to the brim can't complain about it having lots of filling not to many places do that. The hummus was okay. But not a big fan of the roasted almonds on top. The lamb was delicious and we will definitely be back to try more stuff on the menu. We really liked how friendly and nice the owner was he even made sure our chicken was fresh and hot even if we had to wait 15mins more. Definitely worth it.”
“Amazing food, some of the best middle eastern food in the cleveland area. My favorite hummus in Lakewood, the Philly is amazing and so is the chicken shawarma. Loaded fries are also amazing and have banana peppers. Servings are generous. Don't sleep on this.”
