Ali Baba Mediterranean Kitchen

First off, I’m spoiled by all of my options in DFW - so take this with a friendly grain of salt. I was a little taken aback by the lack of veggie / salads available as “regular” sides, especially on a shish-kabob plate. I ordered the lamb and rice and finally broke down and decided to bite the price and add my favorite - tabbouleh as a salad option since part of my whole preference for Mediterranean food includes their salads and veggies. The lamb was good, if a little bland, with little options to season it a tad more. The rice was good - but I would have been fine with half the portion and some veggies. The tabbouleh was excellent - to be sure - and I would love their recipe! All in all, I *would* come back here on a special occasion - but I think they are a bit overpriced, and that actually may be hurting their business as there were only three tables seated the whole time we were there, and we paid $60 for two plates and the tabbouleh side was basically $10! I could do the buffet at Dimmasi’s in Dallas for a tad less…

It was my first time going and I was so glad I had. The atmosphere was very inviting. The food was flavorful and savory. I ordered the first sampler on the appetizer section, it was well proportioned and the food taste amazing. I then ordered the land and beef plate they offered, my father got the charbroiled lamb. Both dishes were seasoned and marinated to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone n the area or passing through. The owner was very polite and his wife, the cook has such amazing talent.

Walking in, we were enthusiastically greeted by a young lady who was also our server. I ordered a mint lemonade and some very smooth humus to start with. Upon arrival the pita was a bit burnt, but it wasn't bad. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped me make a great choice for dinner. All in all we had a great experience and good food, we will be back.

For the first time visiting this place last week on our way to California. They provided Delicious food, great service, and specially our server I think his name was majd having a great attitude and took care of us very well. The only issue we have is with the owner, which he charged us $39.91 because we’re a family over 5 people I had the worker called him and asked him why he charged extra? His respond was because we’re more than 5. Not sure if that legal but my opinion is, you should give a discount for groups not charging more. Specially when your restaurant is empty, it was only my family and another 2 people in the restaurant that time. I don’t want your discount, but at least put sign on your entrance saying that you charge more money for over 5. That’s my experience in this place and hope the owner sees this and charge his mind

Amazing selection of Mediterranean food. Everything has such a diverse range of spices that are expertly layered on top of one another. Combined with the atmosphere, reminds me of eating at the restaurants in the Souq Waqif. Absolutely delicious.
