" The vegetarian options were abundant and tasty! I loved the falafel and fresh tabbouleh salad. Although the service was a bit slow, the food made up for it. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. I left feeling satisfied and full from such generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Ali Baba, and the meal was quite pleasant. The shawarma was tasty, and they have plentiful options. The ambiance was cozy but could use some updating. Service was attentive, and our server checked in regularly. Overall, worth a visit if you're craving Mediterranean! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Ali Baba. The lamb kofta was flavorful and moist, paired great with the tzatziki. I’m impressed by the portion sizes as we had leftovers to take home. The atmosphere was a little too casual for my taste, but it was pleasant overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eight of us stopped in for dinner, and they accommodated our large group with no issues! We ordered a mix of kebabs and platters, and everything was satisfactory. The garlic sauce is a high point for sure! Everyone left full and happy, but the service did slow down once the restaurant got busy. A fine experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s been ages since my last visit to Ali Baba, and I don’t remember what took me so long to return! The shawarma was delicious and generously portioned. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the service made sure everything was in order. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for family-style meals. " (*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*)
