Baboush was an idea in the mind of Yaser Kalif long before he ever thought about coming to America. As a child growing up in Morocco, Kalif longed to try to make some of the delicious dishes that his mother and relatives would create.
After attending college in Kentucky, Kalif opened a pizza shop but his heart was still in Morocco. After meeting his future wife, Kalif moved to Texas, where he opened Baboush, a Moroccan restaurant in Dallas, Texas.
Kalif also operates a sister restaurant in Dallas named Medina. Baboush and Medina are both dedicated to the customer experience. While Kalif created the menu and the recipes on the menus, he no longer cooks for his restaurant.
In June 2023, a customer uploaded a video to TikTok stating that she had been discriminated against after being asked to leave the restaurant because she was wearing shorts. Baboush has apologized for the incident and has fired the employee.
USA Today listed Baboush as one of the best restaurants in the USA.
Baboush Restaurant maintains a corporate office in Dallas, Texas.
