History

The business began in 2003, with a cart operated by husband and wife team Nilam Sari and Hendy Setiono at Nginden Semolo Street in Surabaya, Indonesia. They built the business inspired by a journey to Qatar and the many sellers of Turkish-style doner kebab or shawarma. The "Baba Rafi" name was taken from Arabian word, "baba" meaning father, and "Rafi" is inspired from their first child's name, Rafi Darmawan.

In 2005, the business applied the franchise system for growing the business. It expanded to Malaysia, the expansion succeeded. The outlets operate not only in Indonesia, but also in Malaysia and the Philippines.[6] Later, Kebab Turki Baba Rafi has continued its expansion into India, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Bangladesh, and other countries around the world.

gollark: Unupgraded electrolytic separators aren't fast either.
