Posting this after almost 10 yrs of eating here. I went here on Jan-2015 and this place had the best Mediterranean food back then and I hope they still continue the trend.

We drove to Richardson today and ate lunch at Ali Baba Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Lebanese Buffet Restaurant. I asked the manager “ How do you make every dish, without fail, absolutely delicious?” He graciously replied “We make it with love.”  Never ever, have I eaten at a restaurant where every dish is just excellent gourmet cuisine. The flavors are like it was made with love in Mama’s kitchen. It’s no wonder the doors are constantly revolving and as one seat empties, another fills it.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I've never actually been to a Mediterranean place that had a buffet, and let me just say, this place actually blew my mind 🤯!! The food 🥙 was phenomenal, the price 🏷️ was reasonable, and I was able to eat and eat and eat until I was absolutely stuffed. I cannot explain how happy this meal made me. I usually don't get crazy excited in my reviews but this place is absolutely a must-try!!

I would rate this place a 3.5/5. Wanted to taste Mediterranean food for a long time and went to this place looking at the ratings. Food was fresh. We were charged 25$ per person which is kind of on the costlier end. They have decent number of options. They had only one dessert which was rice pudding and not so tasty so reducing one star for that. Could be better for the pricing of 25$.

Love this place! I'm on a diet but I get one freebie meal each couple of weeks and this is where I come to enjoy that special meal, and it is worth it!

Ali Baba is a crowded place on Fridays. They have tasty food served efficiently through a buffet. They manage their crowds well, and their food spread for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian eaters is more than adequate. We were a party of seven with a mix of both. There were plenty of options for non-vegetarians, made mostly with chicken, beef, or lamb. There were two soups: lentil and cream of mushroom.

On the topic of the food's taste, the soup was average. They had a flaky stuffed bread with spinach and peanuts that stood out (I didn't take pictures of their counters due to a lack of time). The pistachio-laced spicy bread was also good, along with the baba ghanoush and hummus. Their falafel was crispy, crunchy, and very tasty.

My friends recommended this place, and it had high reviews—4.5 stars from almost 4,000 reviewers. After eating there, I'd agree that the reviews were mostly accurate. I would have rated it slightly higher than a 4 but not a 5 because of the lack of dessert options, especially for the price of around
