" I had heard great things about Ali Baba's so I finally decided to check it out. I ordered their chicken shawarma wrap and was very happy with it. Flavors were bold and satisfying. It’s exactly what I was hoping for from a shawarma restaurant. The service staff were friendly, and they worked fast. The only downside was the location can get quite busy and noisy. Overall a solid choice if you're looking for delicious Middle Eastern food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great value for the amount of food you get. I ordered a chicken platter, and it was loaded with well-spiced chicken, rice, and salad. If you're looking for a filling meal at a good price, Ali Baba's is a great stop. The service was pretty quick even during a rush. The atmosphere is casual, so don’t expect a fancy dining experience, but it’s perfect for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Ali Baba's was an absolute delight! I went with a group of friends, and everyone left satisfied. We all tried different dishes, from shawarma wraps to the falafel platter, and all were hits. The freshness and quality of the ingredients really set them apart. Their garlic sauce is seriously addictive! The ambiance was simple yet lively, making it a great place for a casual meal. I can't wait to come again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I decided to try Ali Baba's after hearing good things. First off, the food did not disappoint! The shawarma was delicious, full of flavor with fresh ingredients. I appreciate that they use halal meats, which was important for me. However, the service was a bit slow. While waiting for my food, I noticed that they were busy but perhaps they need to train more staff during peak hours. The atmosphere was casual and clean, but a bit noisy. Overall, it's a good place to grab a quick bite, and the food quality definitely makes it worth a second visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Ali Baba's by chance and I must say, it has become my favorite shawarma spot in Toronto! The chicken shawarma is out of this world; it's marinated perfectly and grilled to juicy perfection. The staff are friendly and always make recommendations. I particularly love their spicy garlic sauce, which adds an amazing kick! The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. The only downside is the seating area—it's a bit cramped, especially during lunch hours. However, I always opt for takeout, so this doesn't bother me much. Highly recommend trying their falafel wrap as well; it's among the best I've had! Keep up the fantastic work, Ali Baba's! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing such amazing reviews, I thought I'd try Ali Baba's. I got the beef shawarma platter and although it was tasty, I expected a bit more based on the hype. It was good but I'll say the service was a bit lacking during my visit. They took quite a while to take my order, and it felt a little disorganized. The atmosphere was casual but a touch crowded. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the area, but don’t set your expectations too high. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, I had to try Ali Baba's after seeing their glowing reviews. I opted for the beef shawarma platter, and it was fabulous! The beef was tender, and the spices were on point, reminding me of my travels through the Middle East. The portion size was generous, easily enough for two. I also enjoyed their crispy falafel, which was a nice complement to the meal. My only complaint was the service—it took a while to get my order, but the food was certainly worth the wait. I would suggest dining during off-peak hours for a better experience. All in all, a solid destination for authentic Middle Eastern food. " (*Curated Review*)
