Me and my fiancé had the stuffed salmon, lamb curry, and combo kebab à la carte. My fiancé tried the mint tea. The food was absolutely delicious. The salad that accompanies every entree is so delicious because of the oil. The curry was wonderful as it was full of flavor and creamy. The salmon stuffed with spices is so juicy and packed with flavor. The staff is so helpful and hospitable. The mural on the wall gives it that Mediterranean touch with views of Lebanon and the Mediterranean. Really recommend to anyone looking for an amazing meal that leaves you feeling great.

Stumbled upon this little gem in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the beef burger/fries and beef skewer pieces! Also, wonderful new owners who are attentive and friendly. Definitely will be coming back for some great halal options!!

I recently tried the Chicken Shawarma Plate from Baba’s Kitchen and was genuinely impressed! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled just right—tender, juicy, and packed with bold Mediterranean flavor. It came with a warm, fluffy pita that paired wonderfully with the creamy hummus, which had a nice hint of paprika on top. The fresh side salad added a nice crunch and balanced out the meal.
The portion was generous and satisfying, making it a great value for the price. Overall, a delicious and well-rounded plate—definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to

Disappointed. A step up from Applebee’s but that’s the best that can be said. Small portions and high prices for those portions, and it feels and tastes like it was cooked and reheated. Kinda looked liek a microwave dinner. Got the combo kabob plate and the portions were half of other similar places, and the quality of the meat was poor dry and tough. The salmon plate was better than the kabob, but still average at best. Skip the baklava, it was stale and soggy with no chrisp, and it seemed like if it was actually honey and not simple syrup, it was low grade/cheap. The pita was warm, but stale, and the taziki seemed like it was just yogurt with chopped cucumber, no dill flavor and seemed incomplete. ~130 bucks for two people should get you more and better. Also their website and online ordering experience is awful, and their door dash page doesn’t list all of the options. There are at least two places within a few miles that do this type of food better. Even if they are a little more expensive and further away, they would be worth the difference. Still better than Applebee’s though. Unfortunate. Will not be visiting again.

Fantastic food in a cozy relaxed atmosphere. Staff is attentive and friendly! Portions are generous and hot off the grill. Probably the best humus I’ve ever had, get the large plate to share with the warm pita! Falafel to kebabs to shawarma, you can’t go wrong whatever you choose!

I had lunch at this restaurant today was genuinely impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food.
The chicken shawarma was absolutely delicious—tender and perfectly seasoned. The falafel had the ideal balance of a crispy exterior and fluffy, flavorful interior. It’s clear they’re using fresh herbs and spices, and you can taste the difference. The kabobs were another highlight: juicy, grilled to perfection, and served with rice and salad.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff and a clean, well-decorated space that makes you want to linger a little longer.
If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean flavors, I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Newbury Park!! My husband and I come once a week and the food taste amazing every single time. My go to is the Chicken Shawarma plate with a side of rice, salad and hummus and let’s not forget the big portion of pita bread.

Just discovered Baba’s Kitchen and I’m seriously impressed!
The Mediterranean food here is absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and healthy. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The ambience is super clean and welcoming, and the owners are such a lovely couple who make you feel right at home.
Hands down, this is the best halal food in town. Highly recommend to anyone looking for tasty food with a warm atmosphere.
