Yes, Haji Baba's is a hole in the wall type of place but if you are looking for good Syrian food at very reasonable prices, this is the place to go. Their hummus, tabooli, pita bread, rice and falafal are very good. Not as good as I make (I am Middle Eastern) but quite passable. This is NOT the place... more

Based on all the good reviews, I decided to give this place a try. I was sorely disappointed. The place was dingy and I was not seated promptly even though it was mostly empty. The food was mediocre, absolutely nothing special. People like it because it's one of two Middle Eastern eateries in the whole state probably. I didn't see... more

As others have noted, you go to Haji-baba for the food and not for the atmosphere. The schwarma is the best I've ever had and the service has always been efficient. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good Middle Eastern food. more

More like a casual cafe to the side of a well-stocked store that sells canned goods and spices, this restaurant delivers delicious shwarma, hummus,and other middle-eastern plates at bargain prices. This is plain good food offered straight up with little ambience or atmosphere. more

Fantastic little store front Middle Eastern restaurant. It is the side section of a great little Middle Eastern grocery store. 2 can have 2 large plates of food and drinks for $15, including tax. Service is good but don't expect anything fancy, just great food. more
