For Baba Ghanoush in Varnava Square in the hip area of Pagrati, no introductions are needed. In its almost ten years of operation, it has managed to become synonymous with magical flavours rooted in one of the oldest culinary traditions. The Middle East developed a cuisine rich in dishes that highlight the flavor imprint of fresh vegetables, nuts and every raw material that mother earth has to offer.
Studying in depth the cuisine of the Middle East, with its special features and characteristic charm in 2015, the team of Baba Ghanoush prepared its first falafel, imbued with all the love that befits a new project, paving the way for success and paying tribute to the vegetarian/vegan cuisine. Since then, the words falafel and Baba Ghanoush are intertwined in the consciousness of all of Athenians – and not without reason – since here you will taste the most delicious falafel and not only that!
Baba Ghanoush welcomes us in its beautiful great hall, ideal for large groups, creating the most intimate atmosphere for a meal that intrigues the palate, while the wonderful crockery sets a scene of traditional Middle Eastern hospitality, just what we need for winter days.
Our culinary trip clearly starts with the delicacy of the same name, Baba Ghanoush, with smoked aubergine, garlic and tahini, a recipe that legend has it, arose out of a daughter’s love and care for her father (Baba Ghanoush means pampered dad); and continues with fresh and crispy French fries that you can ideally accompany with dips like hummus, muhammara and yogurt with beetroot.
We certainly can’t overlook the crispy and delicious falafel, Baba Ghanoush’s signature on the city’s culinary map, on a plate, with a spicy flavour, hummus, couscous salad, harissa and pita or wrapped in three sizes and combinations that are unforgettable. From the classic Baba Ghanoush with baba ghanoush, tahini, tomato, spring onion, coriander and harissa to Persian with fried eggplant, thick tahini sauce, Shirazi salad (chopped tomato, cucumber, mint), pickles, harissa, a spicy and special imprint in your palate!
The burgers are moving to other dimensions, far away from the carnivore ideals and exploring intriguing vegetarian and vegan paths: The Vegetarian burger with quinoa and sweet potato burger, goat cheese, harissa, yogurt sauce, green salad, tomato, onion, pickles or the Vegan Burger with quinoa and sweet potato burger, harissa, baba ganoush, salad, tomato, onion, pickles, come impressive on a plate with fries and promise to unrepeatable delicious experiences!
Baba Ghanoush is clearly a popular destination for those who wish to expand their taste horizons towards the cuisines of the World; also having a wide geographical range of delivery, therefore οpen your door and let the magical aura of the Middle East in!
