Ali Baba Mediterranean & turkish Cuisine

We were greeted with a smile by the host. The ambiance was lovely, dim lights, cloth table coverings. Our waitress Daria was extremely kind and gave us her honest opinion on which portions and if amounts would suffice for our party of two. Speed, presentation, and service were outstanding! Honestly I was surprised by how quick we were served without compromising the quality of the food. Also Farhat (I’m assuming the manager) walked by saw us eating our kabobs the traditional way, using our hands, he was so intuitive and attentive he brought us napkins and kindly placed them on our table which means he has a great eye for detail and his customers. I’m visiting from Florida but I know I’ll definitely return when I come to the city and recommend it friends as well!

My boyfriend and I were in the area and wanted to get some Mediterranean food. He told me that this place was delicious and I'm not usually a fan of Mediterranean food so I was skeptical and just wanted to take the food to go so that I could cook something at home in case I didn't like it, but the staff were all really nice and polite, even though we were taking everything to go and they even served us water while we were waiting for our takeout. The restaurant itself seems very clean and has a very homey vibe, kind of like your local neighborhood spot but a bit more elevated. It felt like a family place but not super loud and noisy. The seating is nice, and there's a bit of outdoor seating outside too. They packaged all of the food for takeout really well, and we got the meat platter (the one that comes with lamb chops, chicken, steak and all for around $38) everything in the platter was delicious. The veggies were really delicious as well! We were not worried about anything spilling because they packaged everything so well as you'll see in the photos. We had a great time even just waiting for our food and each member of the staff was so nice and helped us take our food to go and check out. I'll definitely order from this place again or return if I'm craving Mediterranean food! Five stars!🌟

So delicious!! We tried the mixed platter appetizer and all the spreads/sauces were so good! We also were trying to find a family dish for 4 people and accidentally found a special platter on Yelp that the manager let us order! That was super delicious. Highly recommend the lamb chops, chicken, hummus, and everything else. :-)

The food was lovely. The staff were very attentive and even the owner came to ensure that we were always well kept. There was complimentary puffy bread served with butter. The mixed grill was cooked to perfection as was the rib eye steak. I couldn’t fault a single thing. David and Alp were also continuously checking in on us. But it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I would not hesitate to go again. The chilli Humus was exquisite. One of the best I’ve had. Good spice quality and very flavoursome. The meat was good quality, juicy and tender. Definitely high quality and very much down to earth if you would enjoy that personal touch.

It’s a nice place but in general I found the food just average here. We had the mixed kebabs and they were a bit on the dry side and lacking flavor. Good hummus and fried cheese rolls though. If I were to come back I’d go with a different main.
