The food and service here is amazing! I had a mixup with my order and they were very generous with fixing the issue and even gave me extra just for the wait. Definitely try the beef kabob!
They have the best middle eastern food. I could eat their food everyday. They have excellent humus. The restaurant is exceptionally clean too. It's one of my favorite restaurants. Extremely authentic.
I swear this is the best place to eat! I've been eating here since they opened, I even ate here for my birthday everything is so good. The beef samosas are my favorite, every day I crave Alibaba's food. I literally made this Yelp account just to specifically review Alibaba because it's awesome.
I am officially addicted to this wonderful place. Staff members are always friendly, helpful and gracious. The interior of the restaurant is very spacious and super clean and there are a ton of beautiful plants in the back area. Seating is comfortable and plentiful; on one side you'll find huge booths that can accommodate a large family. The food is delicious! I've had chicken kabob plate, beef kabob plate, falafel plate, salmon plate, chicken tenders...all fantastic. But, here's the craziest thing! I've tried falafel maybe five times in my life and every time I've spit it out on the first bite. I hate falafel! I can't stand it! It's gross and disgusting, until now! When I read the reviews about the falafel here at Alibaba, I decided to get brave and try again and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love it! The outside is so crispy and crunchy and the inside is moist and so flavorful and delicious. I savor every bite and it totally floors me! I can't believe I love falafel now! So fun! Everything that comes with the plates is terrific. With plates you get a giant pile of delicious yellow rice, your protein of choice, a generous serving of homemade hummus, pita bread, a crispy salad made with Romaine, tomato chunks, sliced radishes, and Persian cucumbers. It's fantastic with the dressing they serve. Don't forget the sauces! Homemade tahini is great with the falafel and everything else, as is their homemade garlic sauce. Don't be afraid of the chili hot sauce! It does have a little bit of a bite, but it's so flavorful. I usually mix up all three sauces with the rice. They have a Monday through Friday lunch special that I haven't tried, but it seems popular. Also, they have both fountain drinks, as well as canned drinks. Just go and try it for yourself I promise you will be delighted! The parking lot is shared with Smart & Final and a couple other small businesses, so if you drive over in a car, my advice is to not fuss with trying to park close by in the tiny spots near the restaurant. Just head around to the back of the big parking lot to park with ease and walk on over. Head's up: I've noticed over the years that there's been a lot of turnover in restaurants at this location. We cannot let this one slip away, it's too good! Head over to enjoy a meal and then tell your friends and write a quick review! I don't ever want this place to close! Hmm, wonder what I'll have today?
Slow service but fantastic food, loved the portions of the plates and the wraps were loaded as well. Will definitely be back. 5/10 service (30 minute wait for 2 items) 8/10 price 8.5/10 taste
