" Visiting Ali Baba for the first time, I was blown away by the amazing variety on the menu. I ordered the family platter, which was more than enough for our party of five. The hummus was creamy, and the lamb was incredibly tender. I’ve been to many Mediterranean restaurants, but this one stands out for sure! The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff was very attentive. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an outstanding dining experience! We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was delicious. The service staff was knowledgeable and helped us with recommendations. Everything from the chickpeas to the shawarma was packed with flavor. The ambiance was casual and inviting. I will definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to check out Ali Baba on a whim, and it did not disappoint! The location is a bit modest from the outside, but inside, it’s cozy and welcoming. We ordered the vegetarian platter, which was delightful! I loved the taboule and hummus, though the falafel was slightly overcooked. The staff was attentive, which made our meal even more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent meal, but I wasn't wowed by the authenticity of the flavors. The chicken kabobs were fine, but I felt they needed more seasoning. The staff was quick to serve, but I did notice some inconsistency in the timing of our dishes coming out. Overall, it was okay but not enough to keep me coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The bread served at Ali Baba is a dream! Warm, fluffy, and perfectly paired with their hummus. The lamb shank I tried melted in my mouth! While the decor could use a little updating, the food was remarkable. I enjoyed a lengthy chat with a staff member who shared insights about their dishes and ingredients. This was a delightful experience, and I plan on bringing friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ali Baba has earned a loyal customer in me! Every visit has been a pleasant experience. I particularly enjoy their platters, which are generous enough to feed my entire family. The garlic sauce is a must-have! The waitstaff is always friendly. My only gripe is that the parking can be tricky, especially during busy hours. However, the great food makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite spot for Mediterranean food in the area has to be Ali Baba! The hummus was creamy and delicious, and the pita was fresh. As for the kabobs—wow! The spices are out of this world! The service crew made sure we were happy throughout our meal. I wish more places had this level of quality. " (*Curated Review*)
