Some of the best things I’ve put in my mouth over the past couple months are the Cornish Kababs at Baba’s Gyro and Kabab, the Norcross version.
Tender, flavorful, they make you realize the mild taste of chicken can be supercharged in the right hands. Don’t be surprised if the manager drops a small shaker bottle of sumac by your plate. He surely did mine.
“It’s not a spice, but a flavor enhancer.”
The day I showed I arrived just after a lunch peak, and the place was packed. It has wifi, and people were there with laptops, working remotely. Prices run into the low teens for the more interesting lunch entrees, but don’t let that stop you. There is a world of flavor here.

Note: Watching tweets here on a Kindle led me eventually to be interviewed :-#. Whether that interview ever sees the light of day, I’ll probably never know, but in the voice of Yoda, cool that was.

I happened into Baba’s purely by chance last week, honestly not expecting much, and was really impressed by the quality of the food! I had the freshest Greek salad that I’ve had in ages. The crispness of the lettuce and the quality of the dressing made me realize how subpar most salads served around Atlanta are. I also had a delicious eggplant dish served with really fresh pita. I am looking forward to going back and trying some of the Persian dishes on the menu.
