Baba on Central

“I keep coming back to Baba - I love sitting at the bar, the service is great. I tried the roasted squash this time and it had so much flavor and was so filling. I will be back!”

“Great restaurant with a delicious Lebanese-Greek fusion menu. We ordered a selection of mezze and especially enjoyed the kebab, falafel, and shrimp, everything was flavorful and authentic. Our server, Grace, was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was wonderful, with beautiful outdoor decor. Highly recommend.”

“I love this restaurant so much whenever I go to Saint Pete. Truly one of the best Mediterranean spots because it is always consistently dependable and reliable. They never really have off days, which is great because it’s somewhere I can always bring friends and family. The atmosphere is honestly so great especially on the outside. You would think it would be too hot sometimes and too cold but they have lanterns that make it perfect in the winter and fans to make it perfect in the summer. It’s truly one of the best maintained outside eating areas Because it’s completely covered as well so that really helps the shade aspect. There’s also a little section outside of the dining patio that serves as a little cocktail lounge area, which is adorable. if you wanna find somewhere that you could eat outside with your elderly grandma, this is a great place because they really do everything they can to make it as comfortable as possible for those hot Florida summers. They also allow dogs to come in, which may be a plus or a minus for some people. if you go, the falafel is truly some of the best delicate crunchy falafel that I’ve ever had and all of the spreads and dips are incredibly delicious and consistent. Get their vegetable crudite because it’s the freshest, crunchies selection of watermelon, radishes, perfect Romain, lettuce, boats, crisp carrots. The main thing that me and my friends always say about this restaurant is that it literally reminds us how refreshing and satisfying actually healthy food could be. I know that sounds funny, but we always sit down and say we should eat like this more at home! Haha. Great Greek wine list in addition to the Classics and nice cocktails. I genuinely don’t have ANYTHING negative to say about this place, which is really really rare. lol. Also get baklava if you can. 👍”

“The food and drinks here were top tier & DJ provided wonderful service. My husband and I came here for a date night. We had a dip trio that was soooo good! I had the scallops with a gluten free substitute for one of the ingredients (thanks for the help with that, DJ!) and my husband had a kabab. Everything was wonderful. I also had this tasty tequila drink that I can’t remember the name of. The atmosphere was great as well. We’ll be back!”

“TYLER provided excellent personal service. Our family of 4 arrived at opening time of 5pm to an open door accessible entry. We enjoyed delicious appetizers of octopus saganaki with an incredible red sauce and three dips of hummus, baba ganoush, and Labna served with fresh light pita and veggies including daikon and endive. The mains of snapper swimming in great sauce and beef skewer are awesome. The beef skewer sits on a long pita with red sauce and spices. Delicious well prepped food with true Mediterrean flavor The venue had soft music til about 6pm then music became loud The decor is white with blue including a pole painted with the famous eye icon. Old photos of Greek life offer a nice touch. Accessible tables are outdoors with umbrellas and one area is semi secluded. The indoor open air tables are accessible. Bar seating is high top with a full bar. Food menus are large white card stock with dark letters and bar menu is small book with white stock and dark letters Accessible all gender restrooms with 2 grab bars and 3ftx 5 ft space Excellent food and attentive service We enjoyed arriving during daylight and watching transition into evening”
