About this business
Baba means granny in Russian, and this restaurant—named after the fairy tale witch characterized in an Emerson, Lake and Palmer song—has been a fixture among the art galleries, antique stores and second-hand shops in the Montrose area since the early 1970s. The menu features contemporary cuisine ranging from healthy California-style salads, sandwiches and sprouts to burgers, rib eye steaks, pastas and a spicy, old-fashioned Southern gumbo.

AWESOME FOOD!!! – The food is fantastic, the price is right, and atmosphere is unique and fun. It has a montrose feel to it, and the service is great! I've been for sunday brunch, a business lunch, and a romantic dinner, and all have been fantastic. The value is right on, and my personal favorite is Pasta night on Tuesdays. It is worth every penny, especailly if you have some hungry boys! It is great! I have been going there for the past year and a half, and will keep going!
Great place for parties & meetings! – Our company has been coming to Baba Yega's for years for gatherings such as Christmas parties & annual meetings. We always recieve great food & service. The buffets are always plentiful & delicious. Jane & her crew are always so welcoming & helpful. We have also purchased appetizers & bite size desserts for open houses. Those trays are always pretty, fresh, & delectable.
Always Great!! – I have been a patron of Baba Yega for almost thirty years. Since I have moved out of the Montrose area,I don't eat there as often as i would like. However, after eating there this past weekend, I commented to a friend that the amazing thing is that the food has remained,delicious, plentiful, and relatively inexpensive. (Hats off to management and staff!) I had the Chicken Basil Pasta Salad which was great with plenty of chicken and more than I could eat. The service was, as usual, quick and cheerful. I also ... read more
The last reviewer sounds just as "toxic" as the alleged fish her friend was served. I have been going to Baba Yega practically since it opened in the 70's. The staff is always friendly and fun. It's a great place to take people b/c the menu is so eclectic - awesome burgers, good, fresh vegetarian food and wonderful entrees that can compete with any restaurant in the neighborhood. The wilted spinach salad with grilled salmon is the best salad I've ever had in Houston. I also recommend the chicken caesar or the veggie club - e... read more
Avoid the "Special" - It's probably Toxic! – We visited this establishment before and wanted to share it with our family for a celebration. The service was wonderful and the wait staff gracious. We are a food service family for over 20 years. Seafood was our specialty and the standards were very high for food safety. After beginning our meal with appetizers all was well....then the main course arrived. Within minutes of ingesting the "Special ".....one family member was so sick that we had to leave the resataurant. It of cou... read more
Bad food. – I have loved Baba yaga for a long time. However, several months ago I had three meals in a row that were horrible. I don't know what has happened to their food preparation. It used to be pretty good. My last three experinces were overcooked tune steak, fish cooked in grease that was very old, and roasted chicken that was so over cooked it was black. I really regret it, because I have always liked going there. however after three bad experiences, I don't any more. This is not just my opinion, but is the opinion of... read more
Scrumptious meals - comfortable atmosphere – All 4 of us are pescetarians, and we loved the food that we ordered. The brie appetizer with fresh roasted garlic is to die for. I LOVED my club sandwich (with "smoked turkey style gluten & fakin' bacon"), and the faux meatloaf was pretty good too. We were seated promptly, and the service was awesome!
Healthy choices, cool environment – Since moving to Houston, this has been one of my favorite places to visit - either with friends, business, or a date. The set-up is unique, and cozy. I covert the 2 tables nearest the front fireplace in the winter, and the tables facing the back garden during the summer. Excellent food choices, with a healthy bent. Plenty of options if you're feeling vegetarian or vegan. I understand the place has been around for at least 40 years, but was much smaller before. Well, their expansion was don... read more
Great Avacado Burger – This was my first visit and definitly will not be my last. I love the ambiance of this resturant. I visited on a weeknight for dinner and sat in the back facing the garden and cois pond area very nice and intimate. Our server was a little slow to take our order. She was attentive when she was around but wasn't around much. The food was great. The food was brought to the table in a timely manner. The avacado burger is to die for I thouroughly enjoyed it. The Mojito was not up to par there was minced min... read more
