Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill

The food is amazing but the lil girl in the front is greedy with them sauces.

Terrible experience. I placed a $130 DoorDash order, and instead of canceling early, they waited until the final minutes to drop it. No communication, no courtesy, nothing. This shows a complete lack of respect for customers and zero reliability. I won’t be ordering from this place again.

I cried eating here…. Actually cried real tears from my eyes after each bite I took….

I am only in town for a few weeks and wanted to try food that was not fast food and am glad I came here. Everything tasted extremely fresh and flavorful and there was more than enough for one person. The staff were extremely helpful and kind as well.

I am blown away and will definitely come back before I leave town!

Atmosphere is lacking, or at least on nights I went, but that will not deter me from their food. Just about everything I've had has been delicious. The hummus is creamy and delightful. I didn't appreciate theirs until I went to another restaurant where it had such a bitter taste. The lamb chops are my go to! The rice is yummy especially with the garlic sauce or the sauce that comes with the lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned. The kibbeh is good. Tried the large appetizer, and while I didn't enjoy everything on it, the stuff I did enjoy makes me want to come back. I don't even like falafals but theirs is chef's kiss. My only gripe is that the stuff grape leaves are served cold and do not have meat. A big turn off for someone trying it for the first time.

One of my favorite spots to eat in Memphis. Try the mixed shawarma plate with extra garlic sauce.

The food was great and the service was great. It was a nice spot to relax and it was comfortable. My only complaint was that it took so long for the food to come out that I forgot what all I ordered. I originally was gonna get water (which she said they only have bottled water and i thought that was weird for a restaurant to only have bottled water) but on the menu, it stated that you could add fries and a drink for 3.99 so I did but I never got my fries and didnt notice it until we read the bill. Also, the menu said free refills on sodas and tea. Since I got the 3.99 deal, I got a soda. The server brought out a can which was fine but we were going off the menu of free refills on soda...until the bill came and we were charged for each can. Great food but they found ways to nickel and dime without clear expectations of what you are being charged for. I will be going back but now that I know they dont have updated menus and are not up front with prices of things.

After my earlier review about our disappointing experience, I was pleasantly surprised when the owner personally reached out and asked me to call. He was extremely polite and genuinely concerned about our feedback.

Today, they sent us fresh food — and I must say, it was a huge improvement. The kebabs and grilled chicken were perfectly cooked this time, and everything tasted great. Mistakes can happen, but what really matters is how a business handles them — and they handled it with care and professionalism.

Thank you to the owner for taking responsibility and making it right. That gesture meant a lot, especially after the kind of day we’d had. 🙏

Excellent food - some of the best Mediterranean appetizers I've had on the platter - both classics and a few new to me. Service is attentive and welcoming. Lots of semicircular booths around the perimeter and low tables in the middle. Significant to go traffic, may be a little loud for some.

I’m just passing through this city. I stopped at a hotel and ordered some food — kebab with rice. They didn’t include any utensils, and the bag was all dirty, like it had been taken out of the trash.
