Truly special. This place (and its sister restaurant Mombar) are basically as close as you can get to being invited into someone's home to share a delicious meal with them, while still being a restaurant you pay money (not that much) for. Ali is a character from a movie. Just eat whatever he tells you to, especially if it's the lamb cheeks or chicken livers.
If I were fortunate enough to choose where I die, I’d like to die at Ali’s table, next to his glorious kitchen. To say this restaurant means something to me is like saying life itself means something to me. This is a sacred place. Ali is an international treasure.
Ali has a beautiful soul and it is reflected in his restaurant. My wife and I were not boisterous enough and he encouraged us jokingly "be louder I need to hear you as I am very insecure about my cooking". Would recommend getting a fish of some sort and vegetables.
