BAAB

Good restaurant which is part of the Parle Oban hotel. Food is decent and portions are really good. For our dinner the server was a bit grumpy and very slow service however food was good. If you are not used to the menu it will be a tough place to decide. The safest bet here is the sea food and I loved the prawn dish. They had a Christmas menu and the main menu lot of food options were not available. Breakfast was very good and the server was good. Overall a good option to eat when you are staying at the hotel.

This is a nice, surprising find in Oban. It's Lebanese style food with a twist, using local produce where possible. We enjoyed all the food we had and it felt healthy and light. The service was patchy but friendly. We had three small plates shared between four of us and one large plate each which worked out about right. We then shared a pudding each been two. The puddings were really special with a good range and all very unusual. We really enjoyed the two we tried.

On a weekend break from Glasgow with friends. The host Jack was welcoming and explained the menu. The food was delicious and well presented. The cocktails we had were lovely. The decor of the restaurant and hotel was modern and comfortable. We would definitely return for food and drinks again.

We had a good meal here in this restaurant located in the bottom floor of a hotel. Service was prompt, and the food was pretty good. They suggest you order some small plates (we ordered hummus and a salad) and a main (I ordered lamb kababs and my wife ordered chicken shish). All were good!

Tl;dr food so good I almost cried My tour company recommended coast for dinner but it was booked for the night which I’m so glad because I ended up at Baab and it was better than anything else I could have found in Oban. No offense to Scottish taste, but I was not in the mood for another burger or meat pie. I got the salmon, was perfectly moist and encrusted with panko and the zaatar seasoning. It was NOT spicy unlike the description. It came with a lovely but light salad bed of radish and radicchio so I recommend ordering a starter. Might I recommend the baba ganoush (eggplant dip with flatbread)? It was smoky and garlicy and complex. For dessert I had the rice pudding, which was light and tasted like pistachios and rose water (in a good way). Not to toot my own horn but I’m a worldly eater and this meal was some of the best I’ve tasted - I almost cried. The design was pretty with lots of teal accents - super aesthetic. I recommend making reservations but they were able to seat 1 at 6pm on a Wednesday.

Dinner was superb.Very rich, with a lot of flavours. Staff were chatty, kind and helpful. Beer selection not to bad. Watch out for the 10% automatic tip added to bill - I would have left more if they had left it off.

Wonderful sharing food, served on nicely decorated plates. Atmosphere of the place is very nice.

Brilliant restaurant. Throughly enjoyed our evening meal here. Nice spacious environment and friendly attentive staff. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The moussaka and mussakhan (both vegan) were fantastic. Good cocktails from the bar outside of the main restaurant.

Food is four plus stars but service really ruins the experience at this place. We sat down for dinner on a Wednesday and waited over twenty minutes to get menus and water. Other service was similarly lethargic I understand staffing may be problematic, but it really was a disappointment given the quality of the food.

Good Mediterranean food but nothing very unique. Shared several mezze (annoyingly referred to as tapas) including hummus, baba ghannoush, a pepper spread (forgot the Hemal) and falafel. They were all good but traditional. For mains, shared the languostines and lamb Adana. Both were good. Prices reasonable. Overall a good experience.

Good food with so so service. We stayed at the Perle Oban Hotel (very nice) and decided to give the hotel restaurant a shot based on high ratings it received. We'll, we were very disappointed in the service which was slow to say the least. After waiting along time to check out we were given the wrong bill. I had the adana kabob which was very good however our Tabbouubh appetizer was a disappointment. They served a really good Merlot wine as well. I was looking forward to a second glass but our server went missing.

Housed in Perle Oban hotel. Flavorful small servings. Speedy service however servers suggested that rather than have coffee in dining room we move to the cafe where they served us drinks. Would have preferred to have coffee with dessert.

This place was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing: babaganoush, tabouleh, falafel, chicken shish, beers, wine.... all exceeded our expectations. Not to mention, we arrived starving after hiking Ben Nevis and Baab did not disappoint. We'll be back.

Came here because was getting tired of Scottish food. Had low expectations but the wine and food exceeded. Decor is bright. Falafel was tasty and crunchy. Haloumi was lovely. Chicken shish was tender and flavorful.
