Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro

My family and I had an amazing experience and meal! Omar was so sweet and accommodating! You can tell the staff was genuinely happy to serve us. I got the gyro and it was so authentically amazing. Seriously, this is the best gyro in the area! I am so excited to come back! 😁

Baba Ghanouj never disappoints. The chicken kabab and kufta were perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of authentic Mediterranean flavor. The shawarma and lamb shawarma were tender, well seasoned, and cooked just right. The baba ghanouj was smoky, rich, and fresh, and the warm pita made it even better. The lemon mint drink was refreshing and perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too sour. On top of that, the service was very friendly and hospitable. Great food, great quality, and always consistent. Highly recommended.

I went for the first time with my family, but I was disappointed. I ordered a shawarma dish, but it was a very small portion with lots of salad and no potatoes or rice. It was a bad dish 👎 considering the price.

Baba Ghannouj is an authentic Mediterranean casual spot that offers delicious kabob, lamb shank, and gyro plates. Went here for the first time on a rainy Sunday with my girl. Place was mostly filled when we entered, and we had a bit of a tough time to look at the menu of top of the cashier because of how it's positioned in front of a tight space between the order counter and a dining table, so we took 1 of their menu pamphlets instead and sat down. I got the $18 Lamb Kabob platter (2 skewers); my girl got the $16+ Lamb Shank (Moroccan Style) platter. Both each comes with either salad or rice, pita bread, and 2 sides of out choice. We both chose baba ghannouj as a side, and I chose Tzatziki sauce while her other side is falafel (2 pieces). Both dishes were served fast. They called when both orders were ready for me to pick up the trays instead of bringing them to our table. They also forgot the falafel but when I asked, an employee served itvright away with a tiny plastic cup of creamy sauce. Lamb shank was served on a separate plastic plate from the rest of the platter. My girl was satisfied with the taste and size of the shank; I also tried it, and we thought the lamb was well

Update #2: (10/25/2024) Like a recurring pleasant daydream at this point, this update does seem like a dream come true. The food was incredible, hard to find excellence and quality ingredients, fast (!) service, smiles, custom wraps, crispy, extra this extra that - no problem. Delicious. New paint and decor makes this now a 5⭐ Mediterranean food experience for all 3 categories. I'd go as far as to say that is the absolute best in the Raleigh area and beyond. Update #1 : (06/02/2024) Added photos (and had an even better customer experience and food tasting!) If you are searching for the an authentic, amazingly tasty, generously proportioned, affordable for the family, healthy and (from my perspective after trying 13+ other local to Raleigh Mediterranean restaurants over the past 4 years) - the BEST so far - then you must come to Baba Ghannouj! Of course, as in life, nothing is perfect (thankfully, since that makes us strive to be better day by day all things considered) - the restaurant can feel slightly dated / in need of a refresh - but I'm here for the amazing hummus, fresh pitas, delightful falafel wraps with homemade hot sauce & pickles..... That is all we need sometimes😋🔥.
