SERVICE: Their front cashier man (bearded from Dubai) was not hospitable, stayed in back, and focused on his smart phone.
TABLE SERVICE: none and tend not to have anyone in the front of house, so we waited an extended time period before going to the counter.
OUT-OF-DATE MENU: multiple entire sections discontinued: four “Persian” items, two soups…

We always order beef and chicken shawarma because it's consistently good. Tonight , I wanted something like lamb biryani and so the staff recommended Mandi lamb versus mansaf. It's better than I expected- tender lamb meat, rice cooked just right, spices that won't overwhelm your taste buds; the soup , the spicy and white sauce complement the flavors so well . Love it! Definitely worth the trip.

Ali Baba Kabab is a delightful restaurant serving a variety of cultural cuisines. The Mandi Lamb dish is a standout favorite, with tender meat and savory spices. The prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is open late, making it a great option for a midnight snack. The atmosphere is down-to-earth, and the service is prompt and friendly. The lamb shank Mandi and mix platter are notable highlights, featuring fresh and juicy meat. The restaurant offers good lamb, hummus, and a house special of boneless spicy chicken with flavored rice that many customers find amazing. The chicken shawarma is highly praised for its delicious taste, especially the beef and chicken shawarma enjoyed by visitors. Desserts like the chocolate baklava are recommended, and the background surah during visits creates a peaceful atmosphere. While some reviews mention that falafel and shawarma might not be perfect, overall, the food is decent and the service friendly. Customers also appreciate the quick service and the option to get food to go, making it a convenient choice for takeout.
