I have ordered the dinner/party platter #1 for 2, #2 for 5-6 and #3 for 7-8. They serve much more. The platter number 1 serves 6 ppl and the platter #3 as a snack for party had so much left over. Platter #3 can easily serve 12 people. All the food was good. I love the halal meat and the rice. All platters come with a salad and hummus plus a huge naan bread. I'm not a fan of the hummus. There is plenty of parking and Tesla charging in the parking lot.

This is our favorite restaurant! Our family of three loves to come here. They have great food, fair prices, great service, and a very family friendly atmosphere. We order all vegetarian but they also have lots of meat and fish. Their naan bread is huge and so delicious. Highly recommend!

Food was SOOOOO GOOD. we got the platter for three people & it was so much omg. Service the dude was very attentive and always asking us if we are okay. Ambiance is such a nice lowkey spot but there was a lot of people. It's a nice place to go if u have a big party.

We had a lovely Mother's Day brunch here. Everything we ate was delicious and so yummy. The flat bread came out fresh and warm. We dipped it into the creamy hummus with olive oil and just so good. The different kabobs including beef and chicken shawarma and the ground beef and grilled chicken were tender and flavorful. The platter came with side salad too. They were not too busy, as we can early so the service was great. Our food came right away and we left there all satisfied. Definitely will need to return to try their other offerings. This place also hold banquets and such. The vibe was pretty casual.

This is not my first time ordering food from Ali Baba, but this time my pick up order was not edible. I ordered shawarma plate, the meet was so dry and hard, like it wasn't fresh at all. I am so disappointed, their quality has dropped unfortunately.This is so sad, cause they used to be my favorite middleastern restaurant and I even recommended them to friends and family:/
