Falafel
I'm going to start straight away with the falafel. Beautiful. I am to dip this in this dip. Mhm. I really like it. So good.
Fattoush Salad
This is the fattoush salad. This is the salad dressing, the Baba's falafel, there's some tahini there. I've got another tahini for your falafel and hummus over here. This green shatta, this is going to be the Palestinian shatta, just slightly spicier. Pita bread for your hummus or whatever. Baba's fries, and then chicken wrap right here.
Chicken Shawarma Wrap
This is what I'm really excited for. Oh, it's got some weight to it, as well. This is the Baba's chicken shawarma wrap. I think this is going to be the star of the show, and I don't think it's going to be very close. Oh, that's what it's all about. And it feels really, really fresh, and really healthy, as well. I'm put some of that hot chili stuff on it as well. As you can no doubt tell, I am having a love affair with this chicken wrap.
Baba's Fries
We got fries, too. They're amazing. Beautifully aromatic, nice and salty, crispy but soft, super thin. Everything you want from a solid fry.
Baklava
This looks like a baklava of sorts. Very nice. Sweet, syrupy, so good.
