Hi Everyone-
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart I announce that Baba’s will be closing for good on Sunday, May 14. The business changes in a post-Covid world have given us little choice.
For Billy, Ryan and I, as well as the rest of my staff, it has been a pure joy providing to the Baltimore community. I love that so many have cared so much for our food for Baba’s the past 14-1/2 years. That I have had a team so skilled and so passionate about what they have made for our patrons has been a life-changing bonus. You, and they, made me look forward to coming to work every day, and there are no words to express how appreciative I am for that. That said, I will miss having Baba’s food to eat. I love this food.
Chefs Ryan and Billy will be moving on to their next culinary chapters: Ryan at Café Campli (https://www.cafecampli.com/, run by Paul & Sam) in Hamilton and Billy at EAT (https://eggrollsandtacos.com/, Mike and Spike) in Locust Point. I’d appreciate your supporting these two places. They’re both locally owned and operated, startups, and delicious food venues!
A patron recently reminded me of something I said about Anthony Bourdain when he died: that he was an Ambassador of food as being not only something we eat, but something we embrace and experience. I've had a fascination of and appreciation for this philosophy since opening Baba's Kitchen, and can only hope if you were a patron of Baba's you experienced that as well.
To everyone that supported Baba’s Kitchen, those walking through our doors as well as those on staff: THANK YOU. It can never be overstated that I didn’t make Baba’s Kitchen happen… each of you did.
With heartfelt sincerity,
Farid
Chief Falafel Officer, Baba’s Kitchen
