"Ordered two Grains Bowls - one with grilled chicken & basmati rice, one with braised lamb & lentils. The chicken was nice & moist. The lamb had obviously been cooked in Mediterranean spices and was outstanding!!! The dips (crazy feta, harissa & roasted eggplant) and sauces (shug, harissa & garlic dressing) added even more flavor! Can't wait to order here again!"
"The taste of this Greens + Grains Bowl was so amazing! The lettuce tasted fresh and was nicely portioned, I did order a little too much but that shows how well they listen to your requests! I would order it again! (with less lettuce next time lol!)"

"As one of my most frequented restaurants on DoorDash, Bajas never lets me down. Whenever I order a BYO bowl, they load that thing up with my toppings and are certainly never stingy with it. I tried their horchata this time and it was also very good. If you want authentic & fresh Mexican food, I would recommend trying this place out. "

"The falafel special wrap was absolutely delicious. The serving was big enough to get two meals out of it. The spinach pie was also yummy. My friend wasn't a fan of the beef stuffed grape leaves. The baklava was pretty good but the serving was so small that it wasn't worth the cost."

"The Sorrentino is my go-to dish here and never disappoints...I also rarely get fewer than 2 meals out of it. Tried the Rhode Island Calamari for the first time and was blown away by how good that lemon sauce was, especially set off by the banana peppers. The Antipasto was good, although not spectacular. It felt a bit lacking in meats & cheeses, but the balsamic reduction was fabulous."
"Delicious! Packaged so the cutlet doesn't make the lettuce soggy. Great dressing and the bread is sooo yummy! I prefer the pork over the chicken but the chicken is good too. Ample enough to split for an extra meal the next day. "

"I ordered the combo over rice with lamb and chicken, and let me tell you—this meal slapped harder than my Wi-Fi during a Zoom call! The seasoning was so on point I felt like my taste buds were getting a standing ovation. Perfect balance of flavor, and the portion size? Generous enough to feed me and the little voice in my head that says, “Don’t finish it all at once” (spoiler: I did). Now, the only tiny hiccup was the delivery packaging. It wasn’t exactly Fort Knox, more like “easy access” mode. If someone wanted to sneak a bite before it got to me, they wouldn’t have had to try very hard. But thankfully, my food arrived untouched and delicious. All in all, 10/10 would order again and next time, I’ll guard the door like it’s a pizza at a party."
"This has become my favorite go to meal place. Everything is so so good, the price for the amount of food you get is AMAZING, everything is always so fresh, the chicken is ALWAYS juicy. I've been bouncing between the combo over rice and chicken over rice (I add the shawarma chicken to the regular chicken dish because they're honestly too good to choice between just one)."

"We had 3 people so tried a few things-all great. The crab cake sandwich is fantastic. Lots of crab, great seasoning. The sandwhich had a great amount of crab cake as well. I got the ceasar instead of fries so a bit more expensive but The side ceasar was a great portion size so worth it. The fried mozzarella squares were crispy and tAsty. Great amount to be shared. The cheese flatbread is really good as well. The onion soup is so flavorful and packed with onions that are the perfect consistency. All the food was fresh and it arrived in the time window. I got a message when ordering that there is a $100 limit so we had to remove another salad and app to place it. "
"Im always aprehensive to try new places because you never know with doordash but the steak tips were hands down some of the best tips I've had in a long time. Huge portion and the hummus app was to die for. I've never had the pitas fried before but i went for it and this might be the only way I want to eat them now. So so so good. I'll definitely be ordering again. Boyfriend said the Parm was excellent as well. "
