About Ali Baba Mid Eastern Restaurant

Ali Baba Mid Eastern Restaurant offers a cozy and traditional atmosphere with warm décor and soft background music, making it feel more like a family kitchen than a typical restaurant. The menu features a wide range of Lebanese and Mediterranean favorites such as hummus, falafel, shawarma, kebabs, grape leaves, and more. The food is authentic, fresh, and flavorful, with many dishes offering a blend of rich flavors. Favorite dishes include shrimp kabobs, veggie salads, and the popular Baba ghanoush. The restaurant's portions are generous and reasonably priced, making it a good choice for those who love Middle Eastern cuisine. The staff is friendly, attentive, and ready to explain dishes. Visitors have noted that service is unhurried but personal, creating a relaxed dining experience. Despite limited parking along the street, a short walk is well worth it, and the restaurant offers a patio for outdoor seating. Customers have also appreciated the welcoming environment, even on rainy nights when staff provided towels to dry off. Ali Baba is a hidden gem in Newark, ideal for groups of 8 or fewer, looking for delicious, hearty Middle Eastern food in a warm, no-frills setting.
