I’ve never felt so disrespected at a business.

Been coming here for almost 20 years, it's always been great. Food is best around mid day when it's also busiest. Great prices on seasonings, too. read more Been coming here for almost 20 years, it's always been great. Food is best around mid day when it's also busiest. Great prices on seasonings, too.

Having lived in the Middle East while in the Air Force and serving all over the US, I’ve had better Middle Eastern food in Colorado Springs, CO than Haji Baba. They weren’t grilling anything else when we got there, per the waiter, so we only tried the chicken shwarma, rice and falafels. Shwarma flavor was a miss and it was dry. Falafels were just okay, plus I didn’t like how they came on a plate covered in tzatziki sauce, lettuce and a tomato.Customer service was lacking. Guy was on his phone most of the time. Had to yell to get his attention when we needed something. We didn’t know how to pay so we got up and started walking to him to ask how to pay, he said at the register in the connected grocery store. It’s bad when my husband didn’t leave a tip because he’s in the service industry and is generally big tipper.
