    My sister brought us to eat here because they do not use seed oils to cook their food. This is a pretty great selling point, as I am sure most places, if you ask them, use seed oils to cook the food. That being said, I believe prices here are a little hiked up compared to other Mediterranean places because of this detail. I had been craving Mediterranean food for a while now, so I felt really open to the idea of coming to eat here. I must say it did not satisfy my craving so much, but it was still good. What I liked about this place was the fact that you do not need to wait for seating or anything like that. You just order food at the counter then sit and wait for it to be ready. The workers were nice enough to bring the food to us at the tables we were sitting despite it being busy. Other than this, the food was alright but not exceptional. I had a grilled wrap with chicken shawarma and some other things thrown in and though it was of a fair size and filling, I would not say it was anything special. I feel it might be best to come back and try some of the other items on the menu.

    Absolutely incredible!! I got the burger and it was by far the most incredible burger I have ever had in my life. I was blown away by the depth of flavor. The burger itself was charred perfectly on the outside and deliciously moist in the center, the sauces and condiments brought a tangy and creamy flavor and texture. The bun is sweet and light and all works together to create a symphony. I’ve had many burgers in my life from some pretty amazing places but nothing tops this!!! Will absolutely be back!

    Baba G has fantastic service, but I really didn’t think the food was worth the cost. My salad was over salted and the bread was tasteless and super dry. My friend however had a good chicken shawarma but not amazing for what they charge. Everyone is super friendly, but I just couldn’t go back again. Sorry for the review but hopefully it helps to get this place on track.

    Returning for the first time since the son took over, I was delighted to find that the essence of this establishment's culinary excellence remains intact. The food, as always, is delicious, providing a comforting familiarity that makes it a cherished spot. However, a tinge of nostalgia lingered as I discovered one of my all-time favorites, the tabbouleh, had been removed from the menu. Despite this slight disappointment, a silver lining emerged – a pleasant interaction with the owner. Being nice and expressing my fondness for the tabbouleh led to a delightful surprise; they graciously prepared a fresh batch on the spot. It's a testament to the personalized and accommodating service that adds a special touch to the dining experience. Even with the menu change, this place remains one of my favorite spots to grab lunch in the circle. The enduring deliciousness of the food and the warm hospitality make it a go-to destination, and I look forward to many more satisfying visits in the future.

    Finally, a modern Mediterranean spot in the Orange Circle that gets it right! 🌿 Delicious, healthy, and nearly all gluten-free — no seed oils and portions so generous I’d probably spend more making it at home. Fresh, vibrant flavors in a clean, welcoming space. Orange finally has a restaurant that takes health seriously without losing taste. Highly recommend!
