Baba Ghanouj

Poor quality ingredients and everything I got was burnt. Not pleased– I don’t suggest this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good Mediterranean food.

This place is OK.
I’ve tried this place twice, once was carry out, and once was delivery. Carry out seemed to take forever, even though I was the only person in the restaurant at the time.
The rosewater lemonade was probably the best that I’ve ever had! The Baba Ghanouj was also pretty great (thank goodness, since it’s their namesake, right?!). I also like that they have pretty good pita bread — the full circle of bread toasted on a grill/​hotplate, not that pre-​cut half circle business.
I decided to try the Chicken Tawook both times I was here, and unfortunately, both times the chicken and the rice was very dry.
The other thing is, it’s kiddie corner from Bel-​Air Cantina, which is a pretty popular place, and whose customers take up what little parking there is near that intersection. This is why I tried delivery the second time, which I can say was super easy through the Unilocal app, and pretty speedy!

Wow, what a great not-​so-​hidden gem! I walk by this place almost every day and finally stopped in for a quick dinner. I dont know why this place isn’t busier. Their middle eastern food is great. I had the chicken schawarma and greek fries. both were excellent and reasonably priced. The girl that took my order was really nice and explained the menu well. Sure its not as snazzy as Bel Air across the street, but give them a try. the food is worth it.

this is a hidden gem. fresh food at good prices with a quiet, low key environment. the falafel was so crispy and delicious. I could eat it everyday.

top notch. fresh ingredients, amazing flavor. we had the falafel plate and the Greek gyro salad, both excellent. fresh juicy tomatoes, greens, and the lamb cuts were well-​seasoned with expert sear and temperature.
the staff was attentive and friendly. definitely coming back.

I’m not sure this place will be around long. Service was poor, leaving much room for improvement. Food was average. Two stars is generous for the unpleasant experience.
–server couldn’t tell me what types of ingredients and spices were used in most sandwiches. Stating the reason was the cook was sick.
–wouldn’t accept the free hummus or babaganoush check-​in offer in Unilocal.
–prices are unbalanced. Sandwiches are all $ 6.99 (no side) and plates are $ 12.99. A middle ground would be nice, I would say requisite if they want to survive as a business in this neighborhood.
–service was SLOW.
The actual food was just okay. You’re much better off at Apollos on Brady Street! Their food is tastier, prices affordable, and service more refined.

Coffee shake: delicious
Rose water lemonade: tastes like smarties candies
Chicken bulgar salad: good balance of mint and other spices. Great sear and moist chicken.
Veggie plate: Tabbouleh was fresh and crisp, hummus was smooth and rich, baba ganoush was the best I’ve ever had. Pita was soft but not fluffy, how I like them.
Baklava: crispy on top, rich and dense on the inside.
Falafel: good flavor, nice crisp on the outside, smooth on the inside. 1 of our 6 was overcooked, the rest were awesome.
Service: food was slightly slow but waiter is very nice.
Overall great meal, we enjoyed sitting upstairs with a view overlooking the ground level.

We tried this place after seeing them listed as one of the best Middle Easter restaurants in Milwaukee. We ordered the veggie plate and Kofta. They were both just OK, not bad by any means but also not something you would talk about. The falafel was actually under cooked. This being said I would have given it 4 stars if the service was better, it was EXTREMELY slow. We were the only people in the place and it took 30 minutes to get our food. It’s clear they cater to takeout and to-​go orders. We might go back in the future but certainly wouldn’t go out of our way to do so.

I have ordered delivery from them multiple times and it is always phenomenal. Lots of food in each dish and amazing flavor. I like the chicken tawook and chicken kebab. My boyfriend loves the beef shawarma. It’s my favorite middle eastern food in the area. They go out of their way to make their customers happy. They forgot the yogurt sauce in our delivery once and they brought it to us plus some baklava on the house. So nice. Thanks!!!

My husband and I have been looking for an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant, and Baba Ghanouj is our new go-​to. We took the owner’s recommendation and tried the Chicken Tawook. The flavor was so delicious and unique, and this can be attributed to the chef’s Egyptian background. Everything was perfectly grilled and flavored with the perfect amount of spice. Plus, I love how they grill everything in this dish so it’s healthier than frying it. We also had the falafel and it’s the best we’ve had around. Definitely check this place out!

I ordered delivery and had the falafel plate and hummus. Both were great! I was even more impressed with the customer service though… I ordered through grub hub and had an expected wait of 1 hour (it was Thursday night around 7:30 — 8:00 so no big deal). After 45 min I received a phone call from the restaurant apologizing for the wait and letting me know my food was on the way. The man who delivered my food (obviously not the normal delivery guy– I assume he was a manger/​owner?) also apologized for the wait and included a free baklava, which was also delicious. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Great food AND customer service– yes, please!

My 1^st time eating mediteranian food besides gyro… it was really good. The owner’s very friendly. I ordered Gyro supreme with fries n soda, Shrimp fry, and baba ghanouj… u can taste that all the ingridients are really fresh.
I’ll be very happy to come back and eat here again.

As it turns out we won’t be ordering here again. We’ve gotten delivery twice. The first time we ordered the gyro salad and falafel plate. Their falafel are phenomenal! The baba ghanouj is not that great, tastes exactly the same as their hummus. The gyro salad was seasoned well, but the gyro meat was dry and crusty. It seemed like they just dumped the saved dry bits that didn’t make it into a gyro sandwich onto our salad. It took them a half hour longer to deliver than their original estimated time.
The second delivery order was just this evening. We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, and knowing the falafel is amazing, we tried again. We ordered two falafel sandwiches, the Greek fries, and Mediterranean baklava. The pita that both of our sandwiches were wrapped in was dry and hard. The Greek fries were okay (but you can’t really screw up fries). The baklava was good. Delivery time was twice as long as they originally estimated.
Bottom line, it seems like everything we have ordered is made from old leftovers; crusty gyro meat, old pita bread reheated but rock hard by the time it is delivered.
If you’re just ordering the falafel and nothing else, you’ll be pleased. But delivery time and the quality of their other ingredients leave something to be desired.

This place has the most unauthentic Middle Eastern food (they have chicken tenders, mozz sticks on the menu… are those middle eastern??). In addition, I got food poisoning from both the chicken and beef shawarma. I will never ever go back there again. I was sick as heck for 24 hrs and there is no doubt it was from their food. Also, their fountain soda is no good. I would not recommend this place and getting food poisoning from any restaurant this day in age is a VERY bad sign.

This is really good middle eastern food. I’ve had the shwarma and the beef shish kabob sandwich and both were excellent… Best shwarma in milwaukee perhaps. I was talking with the owner and he told me the chef is from Egypt.
The deserts here are incredible as well. I think they are homemade. Really tasty and unique. This place is really really good.

They deliver. Yum. I frequent the East Coast where the best falafel are made. Baba’s is better. Pure deliciousness. And my husband loved the gyros. Hot sauce actually has kick. Order from here. For the love of God — order from here!!!

First time eating there. I ordered a few of my favorite middle eastern dishes (hummus, falafel, kubeh) the food was great specially the kubeh, it was really good with a generous amount of meat and tasty golden crust.
Hope to go back soon to sample some more of the items on the menu.

This is now called BAbaganouj and serves middle eastern food. It was a good Greek now a great middle eastern food! I had chicken tawook perfectly seasoned and not salty like a lot of middle eastern food can be. And yes very good BAbaganouj too.
