The first visit (a month ago) the sandwiches were great with good amount of chicken and taste was awesome.
The second visit (today) the garlic was TOO MUCH and the garlic taste was intense. There was way less chicken than the first visit so you don't really taste the chicken. It was like a galic sandwich with fries!
I recommend people to try it but I recommend the guys at Baba Shawarma to improve the quality of their sandwiches!!
The shawarma tasted like corrosion. If you’ve ever smelled rusty or corroded metal, imagine that taste in your food. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what it reminded me of.
The fries were great, and honestly, that’s the only reason I added one extra star.
This restaurant opened only about two months ago, but the place already looks like it has been open for a decade. The tables are unstable and wobble a lot, which doesn’t give a good impression.
On the positive side, they have plenty of staff, and the wait time was reasonable.
However, I will not be coming back. The shawarma did not taste like shawarma at all. It was easily the worst shawarma I’ve ever had in my life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — 9/10
I came to Baba Shawarma with my wife after spending the evening in the Seaport, and we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Baba Shawarma, and I had a special request that the staff was more than happy to accommodate, which I really appreciated.
The chicken was very good. I especially liked that they use both chicken thigh and chicken breast, which gives the shawarma a great balance of flavor and texture. The garlic sauce on the side was absolutely delicious, and the fries were also very good.
My only criticism is that they use a little too much oil when crisping the sandwich. I think using less oil would make an already great sandwich even better.
Overall, I’d give Baba Shawarma a 9/10, or 5 stars. Great chicken, delicious garlic sauce, good fries, and friendly service. I’d definitely come back!
⭐️ 1 Star — Very Disappointing Experience
Waited more than an hour for my food, and the service was absolutely pathetic. What made it even worse was seeing employees standing around doing nothing while customers were waiting.
When the food finally arrived, it was not good at all and definitely not worth the price or the wait. The whole experience was extremely frustrating.
I checked other reviews afterward and noticed that long waits, slow service, and inconsistent food quality have also been mentioned by other customers.
Baba Shawarma really needs to improve its customer service, wait times, staff efficiency, and food quality. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not recommend this place.

This place has the best shawarma I’ve ever had, period! The owner of this spot is a descendant of Boston Dining Royalty (IYKYK!) and it is evident from the moment you walk into this amazing establishment! The chicken shawarma was better than anything I’ve ever had- flavorful with the perfect amount of sauce and other ingredients meticulously wrapped and served in that pita goodness. The fries in the combo were also so well seasoned and better than any fries you’ve ever had before- I pinky promise. The prices were also amazing for the first class quality of the food. Do yourself a favor and come here ASAP. If the parking is an issue, don’t worry- I’m sure there will also be many locations in the near future!
