Always great service and super friendly staff. Good is always on point!! 👍🏼👍🏼
The Lamb Tazeen is to DIEEEEEE for.. Just go and check out.. this one recipe brings me to this restaurant time and again.. other ones are great too.. but this one is just WOW!! The French fries is so crispy and tasty that it intrigued my wife to know it's recipe.. it has outdoor hookah place as well with a pretty good option of LongIsland Ice Tea.. overall, I spend a great time every time I visit this place.. Added a photo of that Tazeen wonder here.
Amazing food and service!

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.
