baba Spokane - Spokane (WA)

5 /5 DanielleNRichard V: I can’t. Not anymore. I can no longer go to a Mediterranean restaurant and be satisfied unless it’s Baba. This has changed me. Gorgeous little place, could have used some candles on the tables, but clean, and fitting decor. Service was relaxed and on it as far as never letting you be without what you need. The food… layers of flavors that you’d not expect- even in a place like this. I’ve been to so many but nothing has left me staring at my mom across the table wondering if I should stomp my feet or walk to the back and thank the chef. Hit up during happy hour, the deviled eggs are amazing. Had to request without chili oil for my mom. The falafel/ wow. The WHIPPED FETA and pita. Come ON!- there are flavors that shouldn’t be allowed and I’m so glad they are. Never had a soft pillowy fresh one before. The chicken kabob..the caramel.. the chili flakes.. I could drink that. Used the rest of my pita to sop it up. Beef lamb kabob was stunning- almost at the top of my personal heat limit. Had the chocolate pistachio torte.. so good. I will have to come back next time I’m in town. PLEASE GO HERE.

4 /5 R T: This place is so dang good. I mean its by far the best Mediterranean food I have ever had, and my favorite things are traveling and food. The prices are UPPP there and I live in downtown Dallas. Thats the only reason for 4-5 stars. We had two house drinks, falafel and tzatziki dip and it was $94! Thats kinda crazy in my opinion.

5 /5 Jaime M: Modern Mediterranean with an amazing Happy Hour! Staff are so friendly, the atmosphere is inviting, and there was an array of small bite tasting options on the 3-5 menu- Try everything! The vegan options here are plentiful, the dishes are fresh, creative and packed with flavor. Highly recommend the smoky Baba Ghanoush and charred Oyster Mushroom Souvlaki Skewer.

4 /5 Tania: First time visiting the place. We read a lot of controversial reviews but we decided to give it a shot. Our cocktails were good. I got caramelized pineapple mimosa and it tasted like a regular pineapple mimosa just $2 more expensive. Warmed castelvetrano olives were disappointing. They tasted like warm olives, I couldn’t even taste the spices. My oyster mushroom shashlik was amazing. It is served with Lebanese spiced potatoes and it was sooooo good. My husband got Turkish Mac n’ cheese and it was okay. Too expensive for the taste. Definitely try their Turkish coffee. It was very good!

5 /5 Janice Viary: Probably the best Mediterranean restaurant I have ever had. Everything we ordered was good, the flavors were bold, balanced, and unique. The chicken skewers + potatoes were phenomenal. Will be back the next time I visit Spokane!
