Baba's Pantry - Deli in Kansas City - 1019 E 63rd St, USA

A charming and cozy place with a warm atmosphere. The food is exceptionally tasty, and the service was excellent. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Baba, and enjoyed a delightful conversation with him. A truly wonderful dining experience

Phenomenal food. Had the chicken shawarma, hummus, fries, and baklava. The pineapple, jalapeño lemonade was also excellent. Baba’s has the best baklava I’ve ever tasted. The cinnamon and honey flavors really hit. I will be going back to try more of their food, especially their assortment of dips.

Baba's Pantry is absolutely delicious! We go there frequently and love how welcoming and kind the owners are. The hummus platter with chicken is very well loved by our children. Amazing baklava. And their take on "taco Tuesday" is my new favorite! Highly recommend this cafe!

Was in KC for a mini vacation to see some friends. We decided to head to Baba's Pantry for a mid afternoon meal(I had the Baba Kebab in a pita). The reviews weren't wrong. The place was amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly, food was great and the atmosphere was nice. Great setting and all sorts of stuff to look at. Before leaving I bought some pita chips(best I've ever had) and some various cheeses and dips. Everything was tasty. My only regret was not buying more. Had my eyes on some of their jarred pickled products but passed them up. I definitely won't make that mistake again. Also. The falafel. Get them! Tried a friend's and they were wonderful!

Food is fantastic! Service is great as well. Just be prepared to wait as this is a popular place also seating is extremely limited to 4 small tables. Might suggest just getting this to-go. Definitely recommend!

This was my first time here and this is easily the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had in KC! The Chicken schwarma pita wrap was loaded with chicken and vegetables. The baklava here is very good too. 10/10

Excellent, unassuming spot for mediterranean / Palestinian cuisine. Try something new! Whether its their Turkish coffee or the first Shawarma you have ever had, Baba’s Pantry never fails to impress so you will walk away knowing you had a well prepared meal!

Baba's Pantry is an incredibly soulful and vibrant family-owned restaurant that makes the best Middle Eastern food I've had in Kansas City (or perhaps anywhere). Upon entering, you will be treated to a feast of the eyes, as the restaurant is tastefully decorated to celebrate the owner's Palestinian heritage. Baba's makes one feel at home while simultaneously transporting you to The Levant. My order was diligently by the person at the counter, who very kindly answered questions I had concerning the toppings of their pitas and wraps. I ordered a pita with chicken shawarma, tahini sauce, pickled turnips, and shatta. For the uninitiated like myself, shatta is a mix of jalapenos, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, and herbs. The pita came with choice of fries or side salad (Salata Arabi), I opted for the salad and some basil lemonade to wash it all down. My dining experience at Baba's was positively transcendent. The chicken in the pita was perfectly spiced and cooked, giving it a rich flavor with a pleasant amount of heat. The toppings on the pita struck a beautiful balance of flavors and textures that married perfectly with the chicken. With all of this being lovingly tucked into 2 wonderfully fluffy pieces of pita bread, I can comfortably say it was the best pita I've ever had. The Salata Arabi was fresh and crisp, with a surprising yet delightful hint of mint. Less surprisingly, the basil lemonade was fantastic. Like everything else I ordered, you could taste the love and care that had gone into preparing it. Baba's Pantry has, in a single visit, won itself a lifelong customer. My compliments to Baba for putting together a truly singular restaurant, a beautiful family, and the best chicken shawarma in the city.
