This cozy cafe, named after a Slavic witch, has been a favorite ever since Montrose was the capital of Bohemian culture. The converted bungalow, with patio seating and a lush herb garden, serves artist types, workers and families. Like its clientele, the food is a mixed bag of deli, home cooking and vegetarian cuisine. Winners include the Caesar, topped with grilled chicken and charred red peppers, and the grilled vegetables over herbed brown rice. The best bet, however, is the huge char-grilled burger, served with a side of Baba Yega's famous dill potato salad.

    The menu may not be strictly vegetarian, but most of the second page of Baba Yega's menu is devoted to meat-free fare. It's not all soy protein, either, although the veggie club, stacked with provolone and fake bacon and turkey, is one of the... More >

    I cannot get enough of Baba's!!! The brunch is amazing, my daughters polished off several plates each. Lunch/dinners are just as wonderful-the potato salad is addictive, but the sweet potato french fries are good too. We usually order both and share. I always order the veggie reuben sandwich! Being a vegetarian-it's hard to find filling and tasty entrees-this definitely fits the bill. The wait staff are always very friendly and attentive. I always roll out of Baba Yega's, pick up a piece of free fruit, and promise to come back soon.

    Baba Yega's is a little spot over off of Grant St. in the Montrose/ West Dallas area. They have great dishes for lunch that are reasonably priced. I would totally recommend the sandwiches and you HAVE to try the potato salad..it's addictive. You won't feel guilty eating here because they are known for their healthy menu options.....unless you try one of their fabulous desserts! But sometimes..it feels oh so good, to be oh so bad. Also another notable mention is the Hibiscus Tea, it has a gorgeous red color and a subtle minty taste.
