"This is my family's favorite place for Mediterranean cuisine. The quality is top notch & the service is family friendly... The hummus is the best in the business... you gotta try it!"
"The food was delicious and tasted so fresh! The pita bread was also so WARM (even after getting takeout). Can't go wrong with anything on their menu (we ordered curry, Shawarmas, Salads), yum!"
"What a difference fresh pita makes. Amazing Mediterranean food, best in Ventura county."

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.Posted on CATE “MIMI” Marie2025-09-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This restaurant changed hands but all the food I love is still the same !Posted on Waqas Ahmad2025-09-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Baba’s Kitchen in Newbury Park is my new favorite. We came in as a big group and they handled it like pros: quick seating, great menu, and the food came out hot and on point. Everything tasted super fresh with generous portions. The owner, who recently took over, is genuinely kind and really goes the extra mile—he checked on us, tweaked a few items for our preferences, and made sure everyone left happy. Just warm, real hospitality. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or eating in, you’ll leave smiling. Highly recommend!
GOOD Based on 513 reviews Posted on Sara S.Verified Very friendly family. Excellent food. Lots of flavor and good portions. Loved splitting the meal for 2 plate. The hummus, kebobs, veggies and baklava were delicious!Posted on Arev L.Verified I love the falafel here. The best from all that I try. ( I tried plenty of places ) and must try. Taste so delicious when it's hot and still good the day after. Yeah I bought 30 of these during my road trip so I know it was still amazing good the day after. The plate portions are okay. Not a large portion but plenty of meat. The salad is perfect. Love the staff here too. Thanks.Posted on Karen H.Verified Great food in pleasant surroundings! Service was good! I will definitely return and bring my friends!Posted on El Dragon M.Verified My wife and I were here with some friends for lunch. Service was very good, as was the food. We had been here some years ago and had found the restaurant to be good then also. For appetizers, we had Hummus bi Tahina and MOUTABAL (BABA GHANOUSH) Then we ordered SMALL FAMILY COMBO, KEBAB COMBO, and LAMB KEBAB. Only 'complaint' and not a biggie: Should have been given more spoons to ladle all the food, as we were eating 'family style' and shared the dishes. The restaurant may be difficult to locate in the big mall, right opposite the bank and next to an Indian restaurant and Smart & Final. Very Good Mediterranean food. We will definitely come back. I only took one photo of the front of the restaurant. When the food came, I forgot all about taking photos!Posted on Erika L.Verified I ordered the stuffed salmon dish and it was extremely undercooked in the middle. The lack of flavor was a common theme throughout the whole dish, including the veggies, rice and salad. Extremely disappointed! Seems to be under new ownership and unfortunately the food quality has gone down. Will not be back.Posted on Rashid S.Verified I've been coming to this cozy Mediterranean spot in Newbury Park for years, and it's always been a reliable place for great food. Since a young couple recently took over, there's a noticeable freshness and warmth--you feel it the moment you walk in. You can tell they truly care about what they're serving, and it absolutely shows. We recently visited with a group of friends and had a fantastic experience. We started with Baba's salad, fresh pita, hummus, and baba ghanoush--all were excellent. The hummus was smooth and perfectly balanced with garlic and lemon, while the baba ghanoush had that rich, smoky depth you hope for. The falafel was crisp, flavorful, and not greasy--just right. The kufteh chicken was full of flavor, and grilled to perfection. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious--like dining in a friend's home. The staff is friendly, the service is thoughtful, and you can feel the love in every detail. Whether you're already a Mediterranean food lover or just looking to try something new, this place is a true hidden gem. I highly recommend it!Posted on B B.Verified Im wondering if this place is under new ownership or new management. The uncomfortable waitress is no longer here. So as for my review now: The pros are the food is excellent and the service is friendly. The cons are they don't stay open very late and it is a little hot inside. The pros far outweigh the cons though.Posted on Tara H.Verified Our favorite Mediterranean spot! The salmon shawarma is unbelievably good!! So tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken and hummus are a total comfort meal for me. Everything is fresh and generous, we keep coming back and it never disappoints!Posted on Steve J.Verified New owners! I went in this afternoon to get some hummus and pita breads, and met the new owners - a nice young couple. They're working on the lighting, don't seem to have increased prices, and they gave me a couple extra pita breads this evening. We'll be back.Posted on Constance N.Verified Sooooo goood This is a brilliant place. I've been a customer for 20+ years. Best hummus, best kebab, best shwarma you'll ever have. Oh, and best falafel, best garlic sauce and best tahini. Try it out. If you think you've had better ANYWHERE else on this planet, I wanna know about that
