“ Great food. I have never tried shawarma before so I asked the guy for 2, one I made them asked for him to surprise me. It was better thany own combo! Great food, fresh, you can see meat slow cooking ”
“ Back in Portland, the last leg of our trip home. Dinner at this sweet little Mediterranean gem in Cascade Station. Delicious protein bowls with lamb and beef shawarma fresh off the spit, fresh veggies and homemade hummus. I love the Lotus flower dream... ”
“ This is an amazing Mediterranean quick-service spot! Very fresh food. The falafel is made fresh for each order and the shawarma was also freshly served. Would highly recommend checking this place out if you are hungry. The manager on duty gave us a complimentary order of chicken kebab and it was incredible and delicious. Will be coming back! ”
“ I was shopping at cascade station and realized it was dinner time and I was hungry. Instead of just going to Chipotle, I saw Babas and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did because it was delicious!!! I got the lamb pita, the meat was flavorful and the veggies fresh. Their hummus is fantastic and tastes homemade. The portion size was just right. I will definitely come back! ”
“ Just flew in from out of town, this place is easy and quick to get to from the Portland airport. Bowl with rice, hummus, lamb and beef filled me up, nice assortment of vegetables and sauces to add for no additional cost. Good flavor, place was nice and clean. ”
“ After waiting for over 5 hours for a delayed flight to arrive, I finally decided I needed to get some food. I have always been a good fan of Mediterranean food, and Baba's did not disappoint. It hit the spot and I loved every bite. I grabbed a hummus bowl, with spicy pork shawarma meat. All the veggies topped with cheese and Chipotle Tahiini. Simply put, perfection. Delicious and will absolutely be back the next time I need a bite near the airport. ”
“ Fresh high quality food. Friendly service. Value is ok. Atmosphere is clean but stark. Recommend the chicken over the lamb/beef. Haven't tried the pork yet ”
“ As a first timer here the staff were very helpful and helped me design the most amazing chicken swarma bowl. All the ingredients were fabulous! I can't wait to come back! ”
