I Grew up eating Mediterranean food/middle eastern. Lamb seems dry and old. Chicken was dry as well. Rice was great along with the beans and corn. Not was i expecting. You get way better food from a cart. We asked for white sauce and the young lady sadly forgot. White sauce is very important with lamb over rice. Atmosphere seemed laid back in a cool way.

This is a cute little place! Food was yummy and the girl (Marie?) at the front waiting on everyone was so sweet! She was running the show like a boss!! She's only 17!! Great work ethic, very impressive these days!

I recently visited Ali Baba in Spartanburg and had a great experience overall. I expected a larger restaurant, but it’s actually a small, cozy venue with a peaceful atmosphere. It’s best to arrive before noon because the lunch rush picks up quickly.
The food was delicious! The spices they use on the vegetables really bring out the flavor. I tried the black bean hummus and falafel appetizer, as well as the hummus platter. I was surprised by how many raw vegetables came with these dishes—not bad at all, just unexpected, as I thought more of them would be cooked.
My absolute favorite was the falafel gyro. It was super flavorful and served on round pita bread, topped with fresh ingredients, then rolled up almost like a burrito. Definitely something I’d come back for!
The soft background music added to the relaxed atmosphere, and it was nice that everyone could actually have a conversation without shouting. Most indoor tables seat about three people, so if you're coming with a larger group, outdoor seating might be the better option.
The restaurant is located in an area with a few other eateries nearby, so there’s a nice opportunity to explore more local flavors.
Great food, friendly service, and a calm, comfortable vibe—definitely worth a visit!

The girl working the counter was nice enough. The food was extremely disappointing and very American. The few seasons sprinkled over the top of the deconstructed salad they called a plater was laughable. The atmosphere was not middle eastern at all. We were asked by the young lady how everything was. I did reply that it was okay. There was no follow up to my response. Would not recommend.

The food is average. Service is less than average. Outside seating is nice and location is good. I personally won’t go back or recommend. Not bad food but there are other places I’d rather go.
LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE! Some of the BEST Mediterranean food we've had! Marie was absolutely AMAZING as our server, helping us with our selections. The food was FABULOUS!!!! We enjoyed our lunch so much that we will be bringing family back to experience how great it is. DO NOT MISS!!!!!
