This was amazing! We found this place by chance driving back home from out of town & figured we would try it!!!! IT WAS AMAZING! So easy to order where it’s build your own, affordable, great portion sizes, the service was lovely and the flavors were amazing! The toppings were interesting & perfectly paired with the protein…I love banana peppers so that was an awesome surprise-THE SAUCES ARE SO GREAT!!! Spicy Lime & Garlic Sauce both were incredible. We plan to make the hour drive back just to have it again.

The food was amazing. The vegetables were fresh and tasted amazing with the sauce and the chicken itself was delicious every bite was so juicy and tender. The service was quick and they were very kinda even when I was ordering kinda slowly because it was my first time there. I definitely will be back here again. I highly recommend coming here and giving it a try I am glad I did.

As of 09/21/2024 they have 7.99 Bowl Drink offer. I tell you guys - if you haven't tried yet ,just go for it. Nobody can beat this offer, take full advantage of the offer before it goes. Food quality was good and also sweet tea was perfect. Will try again before this offer expires.

Delicious build-a-bowl style restaurant with a lovely staff. I'm fairly certain that the owners helped me, and I had their Kofta with flavored rice. Their assortment of veggies was phenomenal, and the falafels were . This place is a welcome refreshing place to eat in contrast to the many oily/greasy alternatives. This is great food that you can feel good eating.

Easily some of the best chicken I've ever had in my life. It's flavorful and moist, absolutely perfection. Not the most attractive picture but only because I've already inhaled half of it. Would recommend to anymore

This has to be the freshest new restaurant in the Miami Valley. I stopped for the first time because I saw a few positive reviews.The reviews were all spot on.Many might not have tried Mediterranean food but you can think of BaBa BQ as a Bibibop for Mediterranean food. Only BaBa BQ's food is so much fresher. The chicken here will make other places' taste like pieces and parts.These bowls are generous portions and the flavors all work well together. Their toppings are all fresh, healthy items, prepared without being covered in oil or salt.I tried the Chicken Shish Kebab during my first visit and loved the flavor and was so surprised how tender and moist it was, superior to other precooked chicken I have had at other fast serve restaurants.On my second visit I tried the Kofta Kebab, which is a mixture of Beef and Lamb. As I was eating it I thought it might be a traditional Lamb Kofta. Kofta is the a perfect blend of both meats and seasoning. If you have not tried Lamb before, this should be your introduction dish, you will fall in love with Lamb.I think part of their success is they cook their proteins in small batches so they're not sitting around all day. Waiting for you to come in.I used the flavored rice each time as my base and I have tried nearly all their cold toppings. My favorite is their pickled cucumbers.They have great sauces. I love their house BaBa BQ sauce and the Garlic. My wife's favorite is the Parsley Tahini.Their price is amazing for the quality and quantity food you receive. My Chicken Shish Kebab which came with a drink was less than 8.You need to try BaBa BQ, they are not a chain but a small business so bring your appetite and reward their hard work to bring the Miami Valley a unique place todine at an affordable price.I took my wife tonight and she fell in love with their food. No doubt we both will be back soon and bring our friends and family.

Absolutely delicious! I will be back many times I am sure. The food was flavorful and I there were really tasty topping options. I recommend the steak, pickled turnip, and spicy garlic sauce especially. Everything was fantastic!
