Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro

The food is always good. Positive and clean atmosphere… I enjoy the chicken gyro … Salad and curry chicken very good. Great place to get French frays cooked in olive oils…

My coworker took me here for lunch and honestly, I love the food. I am such a picky eater and they cater to my needs. The staff is awesome and very friendly. I definitely recommend this place and suggest the chicken kabob platter with the chick peas and Greek salad.

We order from Here all the time and this by far, was the WORST! The tomatoes and peppers in the salad were HUGE, not even close to chipped. The shrimp in the wrap were NOT cooked, half were still raw on one side. The kebab platter had 4 pieces of meat. And the hummus with my veggie platter was a watery, half baba ganoush mess. Usually it is delist, tonight it went mostly uneaten.

Hands down the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. Everything was cooked to order. Hummus, cucumber sauce, and salad were all freshly made. I always get Lamb Gyro at Greek/​Med places, but I will definitely be visiting this place again in order to try other dishes on their menu. Authentic flavors and affordable prices… you can’t go wrong here.

Don’t be deceived by Baba Ghannouj’s location– the food is fantastic. The restaurant is extremely clean and the staff is warm and welcoming. I got the Veggie Platter is it was filling– so much food for $ 10.99! If you’re in the mood for Greek, give Baba Ghannouj a shot– you won’t be disappointed.

We loved the hummus, the falafel, baba ghanaouj, flavored rice and a kind of chickpea curry. Everything was perfectly spiced and deliciously cooked. The ambience wasn’t so nice, we saw more people ordering take aways than dining. But the food was good and it was priced reasonably. Recommend for take aways!

This place is phenomenal! My absolute favorite. The portions are quite large, and the flavors are magical. Definitely try the cucumber sauce, and the chicken kebab platter with rice is my go-​to meal! The staff is efficient and super friendly, the place is clean but small (wouldn’t bring a large party to eat). I almost always call my order in for pick up, and it only takes 10 minutes! 5 stars, all the way.

A family run shop specializing in kafta kabobs, babajanoosh, fatoosh, hummus, and other middle eastern fare. The menu is large enough to offer a variety to those who want to sample. The food is made fresh to order. Good place for a casual, quick mid-​eastern dinner. They also offer take out.

I have been to this place few times. In general I love the food. However, I feel like the quantity is a bit small for the price.

For $ 11.99, my hubby expected more than 5 pieces of skewer meat with mostly rice. I ordered the Baba Ghanough veggie platter and was pretty disappointed except for the fresh, hot, crispy falafel. The Baba Ghanough tasted acidic and bland. Was almost afraid to eat it. The hummus was creamy but not lemony or garlicky. The only thing that was fresh in the Fattoush salad was the croutons. The tomatoes and cucumbers were mushy and vinegary like they sat overnight. Even the bell peppers were not crispy. The pita was warm and fresh. The restaurant was not very clean and the staff was sweeping as we were eating. The Fanta drink had very little flavor and was very carbonated. Hopefully thus experience was an exception rather than a rule but this was my second visit and the first one was similar.

Recently moved to the area and this is one of the first placed I tried. Not bad! I ordered the Lamb Kabob Rice Platter and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. A little skimpy on the meat, but it was enough to compliment the rice. Served with a basil garlic sauce and pita it was delicious. Their Baba Ghannouj dip was good, but it’s the first time I’ve ever had it so I have nothing to compare it to. Their Greek salad is fresh and tasty! For the price? I will definitely be returning.

Baba Ghannouj is fantastic. My reviews are normally super lengthy, but here it can be short & sweet because there’s nothing to warn you about! You can expect a few things when you visit here:
1.) Your food will be fresh. I’ve seen at least a hundred dishes served to my family & I over the course of a few years and I’ve never even once spotted a browning shred of lettuce or a hardened grain of rice.
2.) Your food will be fast. We can be in & out within half an hour, and that’s with 2 small children!
3.) Your order will be correct. Of all those dishes I’ve seen served, I’ve only seen 1 tiny mistake: a gyro was missing it’s tzatziki, but I was happily given a container of it when I brought it to the staff’s attention.
4.) Your bank account won’t mind the charge. Their prices are extremely reasonable.
Give them a try and hopefully you will be as happy as we are!

So glad they got rid of the tablecloths!
Great lunch spot. The food is made fresh, and the dining room can get packed, so come early!

Really good Lebanese and Mediterranean food. Quick, tasty and adequate portions. You will have to speak up and confirm your order as my sister received the Greek Salad in stead of the Fattoush she ordered. Other than that Menu was large and fresh items (sides) were on display under glass cover.
Note to staff: Better clean up is required. Some of the tables were not clean enough to receive new clients. Attention to that detail will gain better reviews.

This place has been here forever, but this was my first time trying it. I used the Unilocal ordering app and the food was ready at the promised time. The clerk was very friendly when I picked it up.
I LOVE middle eastern food, so I had pretty high standards. Sadly, the food just didn’t really wow me. The baba ganouj and hummus were both a little heavy on the olive oil. The portion for the family pack of 3 kabobs was tiny. The chicken and the beef kabobs both had good flavor, there just was not enough of the meat (where’s the beef [and chicken]?!). The falafels were some of the worst I’ve had. They seemed to be frozen and reheated, not freshly fried.
They also forgot to include the pita for the dips, but did include a side of pickle slices (weird). Luckily we had pita at the house, so we didn’t have to drive back. Would probably try elsewhere before going back to Baba Ganouj.

This place is one of my favorites for Mediterranean. I only discovered Baba Ghannouj last year and can’t help but think about all the times I could have eaten here. Hoping that others don’t miss out, now I try to bring it to the attention of everyone I meet from the area.
My ‘go to’ is the chicken curry rice plate. The chicken is so soft and flaky from cooking in the curry juices and it is perfectly seasoned. You get two sides and, well, it’s going to be hard to choose as they look as good as they taste. I’m a huge eggplant fan so the warm eggplant side is one of my staples. What I like about the eggplant is that it is large chunks of eggplant and not an unexpected purée. It also has strong seasonings but it’s weird how it is not overpowering. For the second side, I like to switch it up. The kabob plates are very good too. Gosh, it’s just so hard to tear myself away from that chicken curry.
The prices are similar to other Mediterranean establishments. The restaurant is casual, with more of a bistro style (as they mention in their name). No need for reservations. You place your order and pay at the counter and then they call your number when it is ready. Depending on how busy they are and what you order, the wait time can be long… but it is worth it. I have never had trouble with parking, they are located within a shopping strip. Don’t be deterred if you walk in and it is empty, which has happened to me a few times when I go too early, this place fills up fast and you won’t be the only ones there for long.

Went here for lunch and was excited to try it out.
I ordered the lamb schwarma, grape leaves (dolmas), and hummus.
— The hummus was served with pita chips was decent, but nothing special
— The rice inside the dolmas was a bit dry and hard
— I received a lamb gyro instead of what I ordered. The lamb was cooked nice and tender, but very bland even with all of the toppings.
+1 star for the food being prepared fresh.
I’d be hard pressed to come here again and probably won’t unless I’m truly desperate.

I should begin this review by letting you know that I was absolutely spoiled while living in Charlotte with a 5 star restaurant very similar to this.
We walked in and checked out the menu (which is in a bit of an awkward place but fortunately there are menus that you can hold and really investigate on the counter). I ordered the lamb gyro and a side of falafel. We settled in at a booth. I immediately noticed how dirty all of the tables were. The table cloths were kind of gross with food on them, food and crumbs stuck under the glass and streaks/​handprints all over the glass.
I noticed the floor was incredibly dirty and (this may seem weird) the trash cans were filthy. You know most places wipe them down so the customer isn’t forced to touch food remnants when they go to throw their trash away.
Anyway, to the food. The gyro was average. The lamb was cooked perfectly but this gyro reminded me of something you’d get from a street vendor. The falafel was overcooked and my husband commented that it tasted slightly burnt. The hummus that came with the falafel… wait, that was hummus? Totally lacked flavor. Like it was not worth the caloric sacrifice to continue to eat the hummus because it was nothing, really.
I probably won’t eat here again based on the environment and absolutely mediocre food.

Bomb Ghannouj, that’s what I call this joint because their food is sooooo tasty! If you haven’t tried it yet, stop what you are doing, hop in your car and safely speed your way on down here and give it a whirl!
I love Mediterranean food and Bomb’s, I mean Baba’s, really does satisfy. The chicken & beef skewers are delicious; a carnivore’s delight. I am a huge fan of hummus and there is plenty of hummus to be had here. Their beef & lamb gyro is on point, and makes an excellent lunch considering the quality and price.
TIP: As you enter you will see a large menu above you at the near end of the counter. Don’t be a B.G.‘s noob like I was and gawk at it while everyone entering behind you proceeds to the order line at the far end of the counter. Instead grab a hand held menu from the counter and go get in line and peruse as you await your turn. Prepare yourself for Mediterranean foodie bliss!

I’m a lover of all things Mediterranean and that includes the food! Baba Ghannouj is a one of my go to lunch spots. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been to this location but there is a reason I keep coming back. The food is always fresh and made to order. I normally go for the chicken kabob with hummus, baba ghannouj, Greek salad, and cucumber sauce. Sometimes I like to add an extra side Greek salad and share my platter with a friend, it’s so much food I can never finish it all. I’m also a big fan of their tabbouleh.
When I’m indecisive the women behind the counter always has something she can suggest. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. If your having trouble finding this little gem it’s hidden in a strip mall across from crossroads. Just look for the Jo-​Ann Fabrics in the BJ’s shopping center and you’ll see it.
It’s great for families as well they have a kids menu, and family platters you can order to go. It doesn’t get much easier or healthier than that!
