La’Baik

This place is fantastic! I popped in here on a rainy afternoon and wanted a snack. The owners were super friendly and offered me sample of their chicken rice soup and it was amazing, so I decided to order that and the za'tar fries which came out nice and hot, perfectly seasoned. I also ordered their lemonade and omg, it's sooooooo tasty! Ordered lentil soup to go and they offered to keep it warm while I eat - super thoughtful.Love that they use family recipes and you can tell they put a lot of love and pride into this place. The menu is perfect for a variety of palates and everything is fairly priced. They even gave me a complimentary baklava which was fab. I'll def be back and so glad they're in Del Ray!

This place is similar to Cava, but so much fresher. They have great, quality food all at affordable prices. I chose the chicken shawarma bowl. The chicken was so tender and all of the veggies were extremely fresh. The rice was cooked to perfection. I also tried the baklava, which was a nice sweet treat.The hummus was super creamy and flavorful. The pita bread was fluffy and fresh. The service was extremely friendly and very efficient. They have some delicious looking breakfast menu items as well. They had plenty of indoor seating, the place was tidy and well kept.

Great foodGreat service Had the lamb gyro which was amazing What more can I say? Give them a try!

My wife picked this spot, and I was happy to see it had great reviews. The place was well lit with good music and plenty of seating, creating a nice atmosphere. I went with the shawarma wrap, and they took the time to grill it to perfection. My wife customized a chicken bowl, and we both loved our meals. The flavors were fresh, and the quality was excellent. Definitely a great choice for a casual and delicious meal.

One of the most delicious and flavorful wraps I have had in a long time, and I love the build your own style of construction! It feels great to walk into a place, order a base item, and then be told you can fill it with anything you want that you can see, included in the price. No wonder we are starting to see more of these Mediterranean bowl and wrap fast casual places start to emerge.At my friends encouragement, I went for their gyro wrap, and man... I don't think I have ever seen so much gyro meat go into a single thing before. I also love the style of the wrap, like a thin dough, it isn't over filling you or distracting from the taste of the contents. There were so many excellent toppings to choose from, I am not sure I can re-count them all, but the things that stood out most when taking a bite were the sumac onions, mediterranean pickles, and the spicy cilantro and garlic sauces.We also got some falafel, excellent, very tender inside... maybe a little too heavy on greenery but that is just me being picky, they were very flavorful. There was also baba ghanoush, nice roasted eggplant flavor, not quite as thick as what I am used to, but still good nonethless. It came with the largest amount of pita chips I think I've ever been given. We snacked on that for a couple days.Overall, great place. Absolutely would come back.

Great Service, local, and amazing food! La Baik was a place I've been meaning to try the last few months so when I found myself in Old Towne Alexandria returning from a bike trip I knew I had to make the detour to the Del Ray area to try La Baik. La Baik is situated in a popular street in the del Ray area. There's no private parking lot, but there is a city lot nearby and ample street parking. Upon entering I first noticed the clean, modern simple design. There are several tables to the back of the restaurant. This is the local version of fast casual. You order at the counter where you progress as someone makes your choice of food. We ordered the Falafel Wrap and 2 orders of the Zatar Fries. The wrap was larger than what I expected and had a more diverse amount of toppings and sauces to choose from. The wrap wasn't dry or difficult to chew. The pita bread they used and ample amount of toppings made this the 1st falafel wrap that wasn't breaking apart or too dry to eat. As we checked out we met Nora! She's part of the family that owns La Baik. She shared with us the story of La Baik and how everything was made from her aunt's recipes. She even gave us some middle eastern desserts to try. She's an awesome representation of the restaurant.We ate the food so fast that we forgot to take pics.....next time!

LOVE the bowls, sandwiches and mint lemonade! One of our fav places to stop after the Farmer's Market. My husband and I have been missing Middle Eastern food since moving from MI and are so happy to have found La'Baik.

I think I must not have ordered what everyone else did, because I felt like the BYO bowl did not really have that great of flavor. The portions were pretty big but the gyro meat was really lacking and the za'atar pita chips were kind of burnt which made them not taste that good. I would come back to try a pita but I was really underwhelmed by this spot, which is sad because I wanted to love it!

Had an amazing meal at La'Baik. Got the falafel wrap which was heated to a delicious crisp and filled with veggies and sauces. Ate half there and half later, once the wrap has a chance to cool down it is still good but not crispy like it is fresh. Also enjoyed the mint lemonade, a delightfully tart and refreshing drink that had the right amount of zing. This is a delightful addition to Del Ray and I can't wait to go back!

This has become my go to spot in Delray! The Gryo wraps/bowls are delicious. It's the perfect quick meal for a busy day. So far I've only gotten takeout, but I'm totally down to dine on the patio in the future.
