What's the difference between shawarma and donair?
Shawarma is Middle Eastern — marinated chicken or beef slow-roasted on a vertical spit, served with garlic sauce, hummus, pickles and vegetables in pita. Donair is the Halifax/Eastern Canadian version — spiced beef, sweet condensed-milk-based donair sauce, tomato and onion. We serve both, both halal.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Our falafel, hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, baba ghanoush and pickled vegetables are all plant-based. Veggie wraps and rice bowls are available with no animal products.

Babaz is open until midnight Sunday–Thursday and 2:00 AM on Friday and Saturday — one of the latest-open halal kitchens in London, Ontario. Pickup, dine-in and late-night delivery available.
Do you take large catering orders for office lunches?
Absolutely. Office lunches are a regular thing for us — wraps, shawarma platters, rice bowl trays, mezze spreads. Order at least 24 hours ahead for groups over 20 people.
