I have been dreaming of harisa and lamb for a few weeks, so the Ali Baba sign was a beacon today. I think I misread the beacon's message though because it wasn't what I would call home. 1. lunch is...

This place can be described as "if Fadi's was a buffet." I am for sure a fan, and will definitely go back. However, I made the mistake of going on a Sunday, and it was $15 for lunch! I heard it's...

I was here on a Monday night, in town for business. I prefer sitting at the bar when I'm dining alone as it just seems less depressing, but alas their bar area was closed that night; I'm guessing they...

YUUM! Okay, I'm not a buffet person. I go out of my way to avoid them at all costs. I just can't seem to get into the communal dinning experience-- until now that is. Ali Baba rocks - the Irving...

I miss you Ali Baba. I worked a few doors down from this place and it always has a huge lunch rush. Be prepared to stand in line unless if you can make it by 11-11:15 to beat the lunch crowd. It was a...

Go early! There is a wait on Fridays. The food is fresh, with a variety of flavors and textures, and enough 'recognizable' food to satisfy picky eaters. Dolmathes, tahini, hummus, gyro, falafel,...
