Very convenient little neighborhood shop. Reminds me of the NY bodegas with their offerings and demeanor. Need to explore their ginormous menu a bit but so far everything has been good. They have cool little prebagged alcoholic cocktail baggies which I thought was cool. Wish they had a price on them not a fan of picking up unlisted items. I'd prolly call in my order if i had the foresight since they make the food to order.

I've only ever ordered delivery but the food has been great each time I've ordered. The beef philly cheesesteak is delicious. It has tons of meat, peppers and onions and mushrooms, and the right amount of cheese to make it clear this is a cheesesteak without being too much. This is good on the bread it normally comes with (a "soft roll" that is grilled nicely and has a great texture) or on Dutch Crunch. The tuna melt is also very tasty but that's something I can make it at home pretty easily and faster than the delivery would arrive. They randomly also have some of the best chicken wings I've had in SF - juicy inside, very crispy outside even with the delivery, excellent sauce (I like the BBQ). Their cheesecake is also very good. The only menu item I haven't liked was a chicken cheesesteak where it was clear the chicken was their shawarma and the spices from it overpowered everything else. I think it'd also be nice if they let you order extra sauce on the side (even for a fee) as it'd make things easier for them to track as well instead of trying to put everything under "Notes" or whatever. The food is definitely on the heavier side and not what you would order often but a dependable option for comforting food and the food always arrives warm and quickly.

I am into it. You would never assume from the exterior that this corner deli/market dishes out great grub, but that's exactly what you'll get and you'll get it at a great price. Burgers come out hot and fresh to order, and their fries are twice fried. Nothing better than some great eats at a hole in the wall for a good price. I'll be back for another burger soon!

Where do I start? First, I didn't take pictures of the food because I already ate it . The place (family market) is a nice corner store that sells everything from liquor to groceries with a kitchen attached (The big baba)! We tried their Philly cheese steak and it's super tasty and filling! We tried the kofta plate and the chicken shawarma plate. The meats are great and the side fries are super tasty and crispy! Garlic fries is a bomb! Prices are fair, food is delicious, and quantities are big. Highly recommended! Will be back!

I had a job in the neighborhood and was craving chicken shwerma. I found this place was close so I decided to give it a try. Boy was I glad I did. Big babbas is located in a corner convenience store much like a New York bodega. And yes big babbas has chopped cheeses that looked delicious. They have burgers, Mediterranean food and deli options like chopped cheeses and sandwiches. I ordered the chicken Shwerma rice plate with hummus and felafel. The food was delicious and servings were huge. The service was friendly to top it all off . I can honestly say it was the best shwerma and felafel I've ever had. I would definitely recommend.

This place serves the community with their hot food menu. Their prices stay as low as they can for what they give you, and the food is great! Service is friendly and fast. They're also a liquor store that does fun and interesting combo packs. The parking's not that great though but you can't get too picky when it comes to neighborhood gems like this one!

Before heading off to our family gathering, called, "Thanksgiving Dinner", I dashed 2 sandwiches and fries. I had delivered Philly Cheese Steak, Chopped Cheese and Garlic Fries to my spot. I can't complain about the service. The dasher delivered on time as expected (45 minutes) and the Chopped Cheese was still piping hot. The beef in both sandwiches were of decent quality and were stacked moderately on the inside. I preferred the Choppy Cheese over the Philly since it had a more "meaty" bite to it thanks to the ground beef chunks. I reheated my Chopped Cheese and the bread was outstandingly crisp, with a very soft texture inside. It wasn't " my type" of bread but it did the job. Both sandwiches were decent, except for the fries. The fries were shoestrings topped with the standard garlic-parsley mix. The quality could have been better, but since it was a 45 minute wait, I could understand what my Garlic Fries went through. I've never been inside Big Baba but I've always imagined it be some New York Deli in the hood, guarded by a feline pet store manager for a supervisor.

Shukran habibi! First time going here, it was such a cutty spot. I took the M train from Balboa Park to get there. At first I didn't know where to find the spot, but I figured it was inside the Family Market. Store is packed out with all your essentials. And I mean, all your essentials. If you want to get jiggy, and get some strong bag cocktails; they serve a ton of bags in here. A way broader selection than Mr. Liquor down on 23rd and Valencia. And cheaper too. This spot is like Mr. Liquor; but on crack, but let's dive into the food experience. Now what surprised me the most was they had this one particular item on the menu. I didn't believe it at first, but it was the CHOPPED CHEESE. I thought it was NY thing, but they brought it out here in the Bay. My Habibi and habibtis; listen up, the sandwich was huge. Pause. Unevenly cut, but the chopped cheese was the reach of the lower part of my forearm. Ingredients they used for stupidly fresh, and every bite I took I damn near wanted to cry of joy. It was a top 10 experience for me when it came to eating food in general. I couldn't finish the entire thing, and I had the late night munchies. Forgot how much I paid but it was like around $16-$17 and I would not mind paying that again for how blessed and packed out that chopped cheese was. Days after, I tried their beef shawarma. Again, the same experience. Not as big as the chopped cheese, but it was absolutely blessed at every bite I took. They threw on this garlic sauce that just made every bite orgasmic. Beef was fresh brother. You gotta give these people props for bringing some of the freshest foods to the Bity. Definitely will come back soon. Shukran habibi, much love to the owners and people that work here. Be patient with your order, and trust me. It's gas. Habibi behind the counter is real genuine. Much love habibi, and again like I say every time when visiting spots like these. Don't be weird and look at these people when they're making your food. Lol. Let them work their magic, and be patient with them. Trust the process brothers and sisters.
