| - I've visited Haji-Baba's twice now and I am anxious for a return trip. FIrst, almost any ethnic restaurant with an attached grocery is going to have some good food. With Haja-baba this is true, but it also comes at such a great value!
I've sampled the hummus, which is wonderful in its simplicity and very fresh. Same with the tabouli. The kibbie is brilliant and I will order that again. On my first visit, I tried the Shish-kabob and, to my delight, they treated the lamb very kindly. It wasn't brown and cooked to death, which is so often the fate of lamb in far too many restaurants.
On my last visit, a friend and i went to Haja-baba's with one intention: Lamb's tongue Sandwich. If you like lamb and you're not mouth-squimish concerning texture; it's one of the best things you'll ever eat. For me, it was heaven. I will say, that I did order and dress it with a touch of tzatziki sauce, which made the sandwich PERFECT! The portion, especially for the price, is as astounding as it is tasty!
There's a very short list of things that will make me drive to Tempe. Haji-baba's is near the top of that list.
