Baba Kabob Poway

Oh my goodness so very delicious and what was even better was how incredibly friendly and kind the lady at the cashier was. The food is phenomenal as well, so aromatic and honestly they have the best tzatsiki I've had in my life! Love it!

Best kebab place in San Diego hands down. Believe me, I’ve tried most of them including “highly recommended” by various ppl, all garbage. Having lived somewhere in very affluent part of London UK most of my life where some of the best kebab places in the world were (just based on the fact they had to be because of the high density of the expats from that cultural diaspora with very demanding standards), I got very spoilt. This place matches, if you order the main rice combos and know how to order a couple of extras not up front on the menu. I get the feeling they will need to expand very soon to much bigger location if word gets out!

Delicious Food and Service. I Ordered the potato bolani on Uber Eats and they got it ready fast and when it got delivered it was still hot and delicious.Taste and Quality was 10/10 and huge portions, this photo is after I gave half of it to my family. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Afghan / Mediterranean Food in the poway area. Jazakullahkhair

Been looking for a fantastic medditeranian place and this place hit the spot for me. The waiter mixed up my dish with someone who came in at the same time and they were really great about wanting to fix the mix up but everything was great.

Absolutely amazing. Halal too!! I’m so incredibly pleased with the mantu and more importantly the sweet hospitality of the people who work here. Will definitely be coming back!!!

Absolutely incredible experience at Baba Kabob! I had the most amazing gyro fries—loaded with tender meat, fresh tomatoes, onions, and a generous sprinkle of feta, all drizzled with creamy tzatziki. The flavors were out of this world, and the portion size was perfect for sharing (or not!). The service was top-notch—our server was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommend this place—I'll definitely back.

A great place for lunch and dinner! My husband and I love coming here not only for the delicious food but for the kind and personable service. Family and locally owned is always a plus in my book, too. We love their chicken Shawarma plate, and the plate sizes are generous! All seating is outdoors, but the way they have it set up is cozy and peaceful. We’ve done takeout as well, and it’s always delicious! I love how they package the salad separate from the warm dishes - attention to detail is appreciated. Updated review that their outdoor seating remodel is just too cute and adds even more to the atmosphere and experience.

Absolutely delicious gyro salad and a little Aussie lemonade on the side.

A delicious Kabob place to get some food. We were in the area at a shooting range and I looked for the closest kabob place to us. I saw this place and wanted to try it since it had good reviews. The Beef plate was delicious and I also tried their chicken as well which was nicely marinated. It was the best choice for us to eat here and the guy working the cashier was very nice. They also have ice cream here as well if you want to eat that. We sat in their outside dining area and they bring your food to you when it's ready. It took about 10 minutes for our food to come out since they make it fresh when you order it. The parking situation where this place is at is not bad at all. Big lot with a lot of spaces for you to park.

Epic find in Poway, if you enjoy Greek food! 🎉. We were leaving sprouts after grocery shopping and needed lunch And since we’re a huge Greek fans, I have been wanting to try this place. We ordered and since were a huge Greek fans, I have been wanting to try this place. We ordered a Greek euro and chicken kebab plate. The flavors were incredible and the portions were huge. The owner was so grateful and polite. We can’t wait to go back/ order delivery. Incredible find! Cheers, Why?

The service was quick and polite. The food was so delicious! Highly recommend the Sambosas! I will absolutely drive back anytime I get a craving for them. The gyro and chicken swarma plate was also flavorful and plenty!

Love this place! Super down to earth people that make delicious food! I love the Baba Kabob salad is my favorite. They even have Thrifty's Ice Cream, and who doesn't like Thrifty's Ice Cream?!?!

Small shop with amazing flavors. Drinks are bottled but decent variety from coke to ginger beer and beyond. Outdoor eating only but is cozy and charming. Definitely worth a try if you like Mediterranean food. The staff is wonderful and friendly.

First time here. The restaurant is a bit small but the outdoor seating area is nice. Food was absolutely delicious! I ordered a chicken kebab and it was awesome. I highly recommend this place.

The food is INCREDIBLE. I had the chicken and kofta and can honestly say that was the best Kofta ive had at a restaurant. The sauces were wonderful and I tried a watermelon drink that was delicious and refreshing. Its a very small location with not much seating but the food and the staff are amazing.

During lunch break, stopped at Harbor Freights. After finishing my business I was hungry for some chow. Looked around, and although plenty eats here, I decided on Baba Kabob shop. Small shop, great for food to go, or you must dine outside. No indoor dining. I also notice that this is a catering business. I decided on the Baba Kabob special..chicken, Kabob meat, French fries and the vegetable fixins...tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. Had I known the French fries were inside, I would have asked for them on the side, or none at all. Do not like soggy fries... The portion was huge, although it seemed light on the meat, in my opinion. Still good, and too much food for one person..at less than half, and gave rest to a coworker. I would pick up food again..I ordered a diet coke bottle, but they forgot to give to me, and when I remembered, I was back at work..bummer city.

We went for lunch today for the first time. We wanted casual lunch that’s fast and good. This restaurant was rated well. There is no indoor dining. There are tables outside. My husband and I shared a combo plate with lamb and chicken kabobs, rice, and salad & side order of pita bread. The food was delicious and enough for both of us.

Pretty good! My friend and I sometimes go here on our drive home on the weekends. A good amount a food for a decent enough price. Solid flavor, the staff is always great. Would highly recommend if your in Poway

They have great food (I am sure) it’s just that the kabuli pulao I ordered was warmed up. They almost did a good job but inside I could taste and feel the cold, it was refrigerated and warmed up. I did see them making kabobs and they looked excellent. Great customer service and friendly owners. Plus they have nice seating area patio.

Unfortunately the lamb kabob I got was very underwhelming. It was very over salted and I tasted no other flavors. The kabob itself was $20 consisted of 4 small pieces of meat and a lot of tasteless salad. Won’t order that again, maybe will try the chicken next time.

I had a disappointing experience here. The food lacked flavor and didn’t taste fresh. The service was slow, and the staff didn’t seem very attentive or welcoming. The overall atmosphere also felt uncomfortable and not very clean. I expected much better, especially for the price. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless they improve their food quality and customer service.
