| - One of the things I miss having moved from Toronto to Buffalo is my all-time favourite burrito joint, Baba Geddo. Burritos aren't all that they serve, half of the menu is devoted to yummy Egyptian food. It's the burritos, however, that keep me coming back.
What makes the burritos sooooo good? Size and filling. I always order the large cheese and bean burrito, medium spicy. Whole wheat wrap to start with black beans, heaps of seasoned rice, shredded lettuce, generous scoops of guacamole, cilantro and salsa. Toasted to perfection, the burrito is a powerhouse of taste, textures and spice.
In terms of Egyptian offerings, their red lentil soup is amazing. Hearty, spicy, with a zingy lemon finish, it is a perfect winter pick me up. The serving sizes are fairly small, but enough to satisfy.
Seating is limited, but it is fun to people watch from the window overlooking Duncan Street. It is stiflingly hot in the restaurant during the summertime - it has an AC unit that appears to be for show only. Sit outside on the bench in front of the restaurant.
If you find yourself on Queen West anytime soon, give them the biz!
