small place, big selection!. the sign out front may be sun faded and easy to miss as you drive by, but the inside is alive and thriving! haji-baba offers solid, down-home mediterranean/middle eastern food at very reasonable prices and the well-equipped store make this a worthwhile stop for any ethnic food lover.
one half of haji-baba is a small, tightly packed ethnic food store. the other half is a small, tightly packed restaurant. while space is certainly limited on both sides, the selection at haji-baba is huge!
the store side features everything from large pans of fresh-baked pastries and desserts behind the counter to rows of hard to find spices and aisles of rare, imported ingredients at prices that make exotic cooking at home reasonable for the casual cook like me!
the restaurant side delivers good,authenticfood at acceptable prices. none of the menu items are particularly unique and the overall quality of the food tends to match the cafe styling more than fine dining, but all of the dishes i've tried have been well portioned and tasty! space is very limited, though, so groups larger than 4-6 aren't suggested.
don't hesitate to stop here if you're in the area! even if you're not hungry, haji-baba has a lot to offer!
