Have been going to this place for the last 14 years and we make sure we go back everytime we visit Pittsburgh! The recent interior revamp looks excellent too.
Our favorite is the muhammara - the proportions they use and the texture is absolutely the best! Also love their yogurt with cucumbers, the falafels, and tabouleh - everything is so fresh and delicious.
We hope this place never changes and continues to delight!

I haven’t eaten meat in fourteen years and I still think about Cesar’s Syrian Chicken Wrap at least once a week. Ali Baba has some of the best vegan, vegetarian, and carnivorous food in Pittsburgh — flavorful, traditional meals, well-portioned, amazingly priced, and capable of lurking in your subconscious for well over a decade.

In the 40+ years I have enjoyed dining at the establishment. The quality has remained extraordinarily high through successive generations. The service is always warm and collegial. They’ve consistently maintained their famous recipes with the freshest ingredients and the quality of taste. I have not found in any other city that I have visited in these United States and better Middle Eastern restaurant than this. Not to miss.

Decided not to eat here because the host was really unpleasant

Super cute interior, amazing flavorful food with generous portions of dips and meat for more than reasonable prices. 100% get your money’s worth in quality AND quantity of food here. Service is great as well!

My wife and I love this restaurant. This is the best Lebanese food you can find, all of their food is made with fresh ingredients and service is awesome. Cesar and his wife Rania make this restaurant one that can not be missed in Pittsburgh. We always get the Elysian Lamb with rice, hands down their hummus and falafels are the best we have ever had. Don't wait go try for yourself!

Came for raw kibbe but none because of previous electric problem. The baklava was not crispy but the contents were delicious, a couple of weeks and they will have raw kibbe.
