" What a delightful surprise! It feels like a little slice of the Mediterranean in the heart of Little Rock. The fresh ingredients and authentic flavors blew me away. I tried the lamb wraps and couldn't get enough. Portions are hearty, and prices are friendly. The staff was attentive and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting at least once if you cherish Mediterranean cuisine. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this place. The grocery selection is impressive, but the restaurant side leaves something to be desired. I had the beef shawarma, and it lacked seasoning and was tougher than expected. The staff seemed busy and indifferent when I tried to ask questions. However, the ambiance was cozy, and the falafel I tried from my friend was delicious. I might come back when I’m in the area, but I wish for consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rough experience. Took a long time to get our food, and when it arrived, it was disappointing. The kebobs were overcooked, and the falafel was dry. On top of that, the service was gruff. The only saving grace was that the grocery store had good products, but I came for the food! It left a sour taste, and not in a good way. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, my family and I visited Ali Baba, and we were all delighted by the authentic flavors! The gyro plate was generous, and they have the best hummus I've ever tasted—thick and creamy. I also enjoyed browsing their market section, where I found a special spice blend that was hard to locate elsewhere. Great service and an inviting environment make it a great spot for dinner or pick-up. " (*Curated Review*)

" Meh, it was okay. The food didn’t hit the mark for me and felt like it was lacking in flavor compared to some Mediterranean spots I frequent. The service was decent, but the entire experience was pretty standard. I might consider trying it once more in the future, though—perhaps on a busier day, it could be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress enough how incredible the shawarma from this place is! Every bite was full of flavor, and the service was exceptional. The environment is casual and charming, and I love that you can browse through their grocery section too. It's a fantastic stop for those looking for authentic Mediterranean and Arabic flavors. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food, you must check out Ali Baba! Everything is homemade, from the hummus to the falafel. The prices are fantastic for the quality they offer. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The lamb dish was tender and flavorful. Perfect place for anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
