About Ali Baba Turkish Restaurant (Charlestown)

Ali Baba Turkish Restaurant (Charlestown) offers an authentic Turkish dining experience. The restaurant is known for its delectable baklava, with the cold pistachio-flavored variety being a standout. However, the Sugarpies (Şekerpare) were a disappointment, described as doughy and not homemade. The Burma baklava was also average, lacking the expected nut flavor.

The menu is impressive, featuring traditional Turkish dishes such as Kusbasi pide and Adana durum, which were enjoyed by the reviewers. The portion sizes are generous, and the restaurant is accommodating, providing complimentary soup for a child and fresh tea. Unfortunately, some of the baked goods, such as simit and pogaca, were described as stale.

The overall food quality is rated around 7 out of 10, with some inconsistencies in the service. While the family-run establishment aims to provide an authentic Turkish experience, one reviewer had a mixed experience with the mixed grill plate, which included unexpected ingredients. Despite this, the restaurant is praised for its efforts to recreate the flavors of Turkey, and the Kunefe dessert is a highly recommended must-try.
