I wish I could articulate what brain processes led to the “FAJITAS” category screaming out at me while I was looking over the extensive Baba’s menu but I really can’t say. What I can tell you is that I ordered the steak and chicken mixed option fully prepared for it to be a let down but I am so happy I gave them a chance because they were not half bad.
As you can see from photos there’s nice sized servings of beef and chicken tossed with much more onions, peppers, tomatoes and seasoning than I expected. It also comes with plenty of nicely cooked tortillas for scooping up all the goodness into a couple of tacos as well as shredded lettuce, sour cream, and some of Baba’s mild sauce. I like the mild sauce on other menu items like the chicken but don’t feel it works very well with the fajitas. I ended up adding some leftover salsa of my own that I had in the fridge.
I have to admit that one thing that drew me to this order was a picture I saw on the menu showing that the fajitas came with pita bread as opposed to tortillas. It just seemed like a very intriguing combo to me. I was still happy with the tortillas but have to admit that not being able to satisfy my curiosity did bother me. Would be kind of cool if they gave the option to choose pita or tortillas.
I ordered using the Baba’s app and the food was ready at the quoted pickup time of 20 mins. The woman cleaning up for closing and working the counter was an absolute sweetheart. Gave the perfect amount of lemon pepper when I said just a little and was just so friendly.

Ordered the gyro burger with everything but ketchup and mustard. It showed up with a singular piece of lettuce and 2 slices of onion along with ketchup and mustard. The manager was kinda rude at first but then apologized for his behavior. The girl at the front counter was very nice.

Ordered online and received my food incorrectly. Call to explain what happened and the manager literally tried to talk his way out of why it was wrong. The receipt showed the correct information but the sandwiches were wrong. My daughter is highly allergic to mushrooms and he said so only one of you are allergic to it? Huh? What does it matter when that’s not what we ordered.

Okay, wow—Baba’s Famous Steak and Lemonade totally hit the spot! This restaurant is amazing, Its truly impressed how great my experience was here. The Philly Steak Sandwich was juicy, flavorful, and piled high (they do not play around with portions). The Buffalo Wings were also no joke, probably the best wings i’ve ever had in my life, And the lemonades? Super refreshing—like summer in a cup.
The whole place has such a chill, welcoming vibe, and everyone working there was super friendly. You can tell they care about the food and the people. I’m already thinking about what I’m gonna try next time. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!

First time back in Illinois after some years. Literally was just seeing what was new in the area and seen this. Immediately pulled up. Haven’t had babas in a good minute. They still don’t miss. Lemonade was fire. Right along with them chicken wings, fries, mild sauce and lemon pepper. They getting stingy though because I couldn’t put my own mold sauce like back in the day.

So when I walked in I had to ask what was a crispy gyro. I love gyros. So she advised me the best way to eat a gyro. So they fry the gyro sandwich with tomato, peppers, and onions and some sort of cheese. Looked good when it came out. After taking 1st bite I knew right then I would never order that again. It was so greasy from the fryer. The meat had a weird after taste. The fries were cold. Yes it was dine in. Only good thing was the bottle A&w root beer. Not for me. Also while I was there the employee was screaming on the phone mad at someone. Need to take that to a private area. No need for me to hear that. Just FYI.
