Middle Eastern Food Near Me in London, Ontario
Looking for authentic Middle Eastern food near you in London, Ontario? Babaz Shawarma serves traditional Lebanese and Middle Eastern dishes — shawarma, shish kebabs, kafta, hummus, tabbouleh, falafel, garlic potatoes — all made fresh daily from family recipes carried across generations.
Traditional Lebanese and Middle Eastern recipes
Babaz is family-owned and family-run. The recipes come from our kitchen table — chickpeas simmered from dry, parsley chopped by hand for tabbouleh, lamb butchered and marinated in-house, bread baked on the saj. No shortcuts. No microwaves. Just the way our grandmothers made it.
Beyond shawarma — the full Middle Eastern menu
Yes, our halal shawarma is what we're famous for. But the menu goes much deeper: chicken shish tawook, beef kafta, lamb shish skewers, mixed grill platters, fresh falafel, hand-pounded hummus and baba ganoush, tabbouleh and fattoush salads, garlic potatoes, vine leaves, kibbeh and a rotation of weekly specials.
Made fresh daily — the kitchen starts at dawn
Our cooks start before the city wakes. Chickpeas simmer, parsley is hand-chopped, lamb is butchered and marinated, and bread is baked on the saj. The gas barbecue is lit by 10 AM. The smell of smoke is what tells our regulars we're ready.
