Babaz - Burlington

I don't eat fast food often - I bring my lunch 99% of the time. Today I stopped at the outlet at Mainway and Walker's Line - not sure what restaurants are in it; not sure what I was going to have. The Shawarma place looked good. They were busy and had fresh looking food. The service is terrific. I liked getting all the veggies on my chicken shawarma and the garlic and hot sauce. After my absolute insistence that yes, I did want hot sauce, he put it on. I think he was just making sure I was listening - the whole building was slammed with customers. I found a seat and started eating the most disappointing middle eastern food ever. Aside from crunchy veggies there was zero flavour. No spice, no garlic, no hot sauce. I got less than halfway through and pitched it. For all the flavour it had, I was eating a pita stuffed with lettuce.

I've had both the Chicken Shawarma and Souvlaki and while they were ok, they were mostly vegetable, not a lot of chicken.And very personable servers who will upsell you without your knowledge until you hit the cash register, 50 cents for a sprinkle of feta cheese is gouging, as far as I'm concerned.It's convenient for a quick grab and go lunch, but not the best value or quality.

Decent portion size but light on the chicken and heavy on the rice. $7.99 Chicken Shawarma with Rice is a bit bland. Still on the quest for a decent lunch Shawarma joint.

Worst chicken shawarma I ever had hardly any chicken just lettuce and a couple pieces of tomato.I won't be back.

The Hummus at this place was absolutely horrible. It tasted like pure Vinegar. If you are someone like myself who loves hummus this place is not for you. I find generally Middle Eastern places don't give me enough hummus. Places like Ghazale and Ali' Babas have great hummus but they often don't give you enough hummus, so for this place I paid for extra hummus and ended up having to throw it all out because it was disgusting. I paid 19 dollars for the worst middle eastern food I have ever had. And I have been to Shawarma king. This was worse.
