BABA'S MEDITERRANEAN – Mediterranean
Third Street in downtown Fernandina Beach, lunch only, six days a week. Baba's keeps the format tight - gyros, salads and mezze - and pulls the shutters at three. The handhelds run gyro, shawarma and falafel; salads take a protein on top; the mezze board covers hummus and baba ganoush. There are soups, sides and a kids' menu for the beach crowd. Nothing here pretends to be more than it is, which is a small Mediterranean kitchen on Amelia Island turning out fast plates at fair prices. Sundays are dark, too. Get there before three o'clock or wait until tomorrow.
