| - Gyros and baklava are out-of-this world amazing. These folks make the first stuffed grape leaves that I have ever liked.
I liked the flavor of my baba ganouj better after I took it home and ate it the next day. I think the flavors were better blended with time.
Meal portions are generous - good for sharing and/or taking home lots of leftovers.
I have finally found a place in the Phoenix area that has fresh baklava! They make it in-house and in many varieties - almond, pecan, walnut, pistachio, combination... Exquisite as it is so fresh.
Haji-Baba is a small strip-mall restaurant combined with a store (last time I was at the store, I purchased spices, pickled turnips colored with beet juice, rose water, orange water, baklava and other pastries.
If this place were on my side of town, I'd be there several times a month. As it is, I am grateful they are in the Phoenix area. I will be back.
