What customers say?

“ Best kebab place in San Diego hands down. Believe me, I’ve tried most of them including “highly recommended” by various ppl, all garbage. Having lived somewhere in very affluent part of London UK most of my life where some of the best kebab places in the world were (just based on the fact they had to be because of the high density of the expats from that cultural diaspora with very demanding standards), I got very spoilt. This place matches, if you order the main rice combos and know how to order a couple of extras not up front on the menu. I get the feeling they will need to expand very soon to much bigger location if word gets out! ”

“ Absolutely incredible experience at Baba Kabob! I had the most amazing gyro fries—loaded with tender meat, fresh tomatoes, onions, and a generous sprinkle of feta, all drizzled with creamy tzatziki. The flavors were out of this world, and the portion size was perfect for sharing (or not!). The service was top-notch—our server was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommend this place—I'll definitely back. ”

“ During lunch break, stopped at Harbor Freights. After finishing my business I was hungry for some chow. Looked around, and although plenty eats here, I decided on Baba Kabob shop. Small shop, great for food to go, or you must dine outside. No indoor dining. I also notice that this is a catering business. I decided on the Baba Kabob special..chicken, Kabob meat, French fries and the vegetable fixins...tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. Had I known the French fries were inside, I would have asked for them on the side, or none at all. Do not like soggy fries... The portion was huge, although it seemed light on the meat, in my opinion. Still good, and too much food for one person..at less than half, and gave rest to a coworker. I would pick up food again..I ordered a diet coke bottle, but they forgot to give to me, and when I remembered, I was back at work..bummer city. ”

“ Been looking for a fantastic medditeranian place and this place hit the spot for me. The waiter mixed up my dish with someone who came in at the same time and they were really great about wanting to fix the mix up but everything was great. ”
