Went again for my birthday and got a bunch of food and all of it was so good!! Also got some desserts which were so delicious:) Amazing service and ambience as well
Went again and had the burger, wow amazing tbh!!! Never disappointed. Will keep coming
The service was amazing and the food was just as great. I had their baba ghanoush and their chicken kebab plate and a side of fries. It was all really delicious. Im not sure how they season their fries but they were soooo good. I'm definitely going back. Highly recommend this place.
Excellent food and hospitality. The owner, Sam, was very kind. The food is delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. My girlfriend had the Chicken Kabob and I had the falafel wrap. The French fries are also particularly good here. I would go back just for the fries. Highly recommend this place! They also have hookah but we came for the food and we were not disappointed!
I happened to randomly go to this restaurant for lunch and absolutely loved the owner and the staff's warm service, and the restaurant's cozy atmosphere. It was almost as if I was visiting my parent house or something. Chicken wrap and salad were very good and fresh, and reminded me of home cooked meal, which I also loved about this restaurant. House original mint lemonade also tasted really good. I live far away from the area, but would love to visit them again when I go to the area next time.
Really delicious, fresh Mediterranean food on Beverly near La Brea. It's sexy and chill with the appropriate music playing in the background to set the right ambiance. The service was polite, fast and very friendly. We ordered meat, chicken, rice, humus, bread and it was very tasty and well seasoned. Not too salty or bland. Just perfect. There is street parking on Beverly or one of the side streets. I highly recommend Baba G ! It's more affordable than some of the other restaurants in this area. Give it a try !
Wonderful. Quite the ambitious. I was told by Jeff next door to come try the tasty burger. I bought my ticket early for the double feature of ' Bonnie and Clyde' with 'True Romance' I informed the ticket dude, I was starving, he told me to go next door and get the tasty Swiss burger, I said, I will, I'm Deborah and your name, he said 'Jeff.' So I went next door and said 'Jeff sent me to try y'all's tasty Swiss burger.' They brought me my Burger with a tasty lemonade. What a wonderful night. Thank you Jeff.
I wish i took a photo of the amazing chicken shawarma that i had Pros: - mom and pop owned (feel the vibe od that) - ambience of middle east - great place to take a date or come and do work - prices are reasonable! Place has been in business for 45 years Cons - poor ppl dont market online so traffic slowed, come enjoy before ppl start flooding place bc cost, food quality, ambience, is best in hollywood for a restaurant/hooka lounge combo
