The best middle eastern restaurant in town! Everything was so delicious and the people who work there were so nice. We had the chicken kabob meal, the kibbi, the falafels, and a salad. The garlic sauce was amazing. We bought a separate serving to take home and added it to our caprese sandwich (instead of pesto) and it was a great idea! Also the fries were addictive. We were so full when we left, with still some leftovers to take home.

There's something different about a family run restaurant, isn't there? The experience is different, and subsequently, the review must be different. It's impossible to rate a dinner at a friend's home against the same criteria as dining out. And so I'm rating my experience at Ali Baba as if Khalid, Imad, and the rest of the family were personal friends because that is what they became by the end of the evening. Traveling to Newark frequently for work, I kept passing by and promising to make this a stop on my next visit. This week, I kept my promise and was happy I did. Environment is always important to me, and I enjoyed the aesthetic that complimented the Middle Eastern influenced menu. Service was warm and prompt. Portions were large enough to share with a few others, and I enjoyed the abundant but balanced use of herbs and spices. Flavors were as strong as you'd hope but not in an overwhelming way. The Moroccan chicken was recommended as the family favorite, and it was falling off the bone tender and I enjoyed it as I got to know each of the fine folks who worked there and were kind enough to chat with a solo traveler.Next time, I look forward to the Bastilla, which is hard to find, especially in my home city, and which can be customized with the protein of your choice. One request I'd make is to consider a different situation for the music. It was constantly interrupted by loud commercials, which felt a bit abrupt and distracting from the rest of the experience.

I dream about this place . When I lived in NJ I would often drive to Delaware just for this food . There were markets I went to also of course but honestly this place was the draw . My husband always gets the harissa chicken spicy and it's delicious but too spicy for me . I usually get the lamb and the carrot salad . The humus is also wonderful but the portions are so large we can't order all the things we want . The saj bread is thin and great to eat the humus with . I've never seen it anywhere else . Anyway try it I promise you'll love it .

Delicious food (their baked/marinated chicken is a delight), enormous portions (like, you're not going to finish it off), and pleasant traditional-style seating. Service can be a bit pushy, but the food is good enough to keep bringing you back.

this is always been one of my absolute favorite restaurants, I love how they have the hookah bar that you can smoke outside, I love how they have the most amazing food, the lobby, the falafel, the hummus, the lamb and everything is wonderful. the coffee the Lebanese coffee is absolutely the best, and the food, moroccan, Lebanese and Middle Eastern in general, is perfect.
