2 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Cleaning and sanitizing.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on May 6, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on June 6, 2023. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 6, 2026. For example: 4 Does the premises have the key services (e.g. water, sewer, power) required to operate safely?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on May 6, 2026. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    We stopped in for lunch - all 3 of us ordered the falafel pita sandwich, and managed to get the last slice of Basbousa for dessert. The food is absolutely delicious, and the owner Othman is so kind and welcoming. This little gem should not be missed! Can't wait to come back soon!

    Tucked away in the quiet beauty of Christina Lake; this is one of the most unforgettable food experiences I’ve had: a humble Palestinian food truck serving up authentic, soul-satisfying cuisine. As a vegetarian, I’m constantly on the lookout for great falafel — and this was hands down the best falafel I’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy, full of flavor, and made with real care. Othman, who is the owner, was incredibly warm and generous, even taking time to read a heartfelt excerpt from his book, The Imprisoned Blogger. He also gave us a sample of pickled wild cucumber which was delicious! What was a casual stop, turned into something truly meaningful — a rare mix of amazing food and powerful storytelling. 🍉 My sister and I will be back and will be bringing friends and family next time.

    Thank you Adam for the delicious dinner and warm welcome. You held the shop open for us past closing and we’re very glad you did as otherwise we would’ve missed out on some seriously good kebab and falafel. Fellow travellers: when you see the signs for Baba Kebab don’t blow past it. This is seriously good food you’ve got to try. — Rowan and Sorcha

    Baba Kabab! We had the falafel and beef sandwich and both were so super tasty. The service and the conversations were the cherry on top! Never tried a wild cucumber pickle before, delish!

  • François Paré

    Definitely the place to stop for a lunch if you are driving through Christina Lake area. What a wonderful discovery! Delicious and authentic Palestian food with a nice set up outside and food truck style. We took the chicken platter and the kabab sandwich and both were tasty. Othman, the very friendly owner, is an amazing person. Take the time to chat with him to learn about his story. Will definitely come back next time we drove by!

    This is Adam. He takes immense pride in his food, and you can tell in every bite. This place is a gem, and our time chatting with Adam and enjoying his food has been a highlight of our trip. 10/10 would recommend!
