Ali Baba Mediterranean

Great place to grab a quick lunch. Always flavorful and fresh. The chicken and rice plate is wonderful and the price is more than fair. Stop in and give them a shot. You will not be disappointed.

The food is great. Awesome portions. However the customer service is not the best. The woman behind the counter was great. I purchased a bracelet being advertised by the register. Upon getting my total n feeling rushed out I was unable to ask the price of the bracelet. I tried calling the restaurant back and was rudely hung up on twice before they finally answered my third call back. When answered I wasn't even given the opportunity to get my whole sentence out before I was being rushed with responses like "just bring it back were too busy to answer calls right now" and being told to call back later. After I stated I wasn't looking to return the bracelet just wanted to know how much it cost I was told to call back later when not so busy. Finally I said my meal was only $25 and my total is $43 so I was charged $18 for a bracelet? The man on the phone said I dnt know there are different prices n then he proceeds to tell me to text his number with a picture of the bracelet so he could help me when he gets a chance. Smh. Horrible way to respond to a person who is patronizing your establishment. N being charged $17 for a bracelet made of string and one little charm is not good business practice. Even if it is brought here from turkey. I'm all for supporting good small businesses and this one came highly recommended however I will not spend another dollar in this establishment nor will I refer anyone there. Which is sad because the food is great. Do better !

i got the mediterranean platter there’s a very similar tangy note to the hummus , ganoush , the bean salad and another item i got . im used to mediterranean food being very layered in flavors . theres this overpowering vinegar flavor to basically the whole platter . and the falafel is dry , cold and is a bit misleading considering its indented but you cant see that from the top . i assume thats how you get it to stand up ? flavor wise the falafel is the tastiest thing here

The gyro wrap was SUPREME and had my body warmed up and my belly satisfied till dinner. The Mediterranean salad was a nice addition as well.

I ordered myself the falafel wrap and my husband had the kabeb both were extra tasty! I usually don't do many spicy foods, due to no gallbladder but I'm glad I did come today. It was super delicious. The workers were friendly and understanding. A tiny bit crowded in the restaurant but overall delicious(and messy, hence my spoon to eat the filling!) and will be back!

This is my favorite food place by GSU. Every time I go they’re quick and very kind. The prices for their food are affordable and the amount of food is great!! I always get the chicken gyro spicy, grape leaves, and pasta. The grape leaves are the best I have EVER had. The pasta salad is better than any pasta salad I’ve ever ate. And the chicken gyro is just chefs kiss. I always get it to go because I don’t think there is seating except in the area next door (which is public seating). Great Place for a quick but fulfilling meal!!!

Really friendly service. Authentic food that was delicious. Affordable prices. Some seating outside but additional seating inside downstairs. I would recommend checking it out

I walked passed this place a few times. The location is very small, blink and you will miss it. I ate here two days in a row. Enjoyed my salads very much.

Legit Gyros. REAL meat. Not that razor thin frozen nonsense. Cheap and delicious. 2010 pricing.

The food is good , quick and affordable. But I must mention these negative experiences I keep having. I go here often because I live in walking distance. A few times after paying I thought to myself, I think I was over charged. So the next time I went I payed more attention to the charge. I mentioned to her that she has overcharged me. She whips out a paper and pencil and came up with her amount again. So I still wasn't going for it and did the math for her and each time her reply was ."oh your right". Can you believe that today is now the third time I had to dispute the price. All three times she pulls out a paper and pen and comes up with a inflated number again. And all three times I had to dispute her math and show her how each time she had added at least a extra 10 dollars to my meal. Today I didn't see how much she charged me so I asked after paying . A yep once again a extra ten dollar or more was added. She refunded me then charged me correctly. So its either I look stupid and she can't help but take advantage of me, she is racist like many other reviews stated. Or she is a thief and doesn't discriminate on who she steals from. I don't think she is stupid. Im lead to believe she's racist. it serves me no pleasure to feel the need to take time out my day to write this review.

Good Authentic Turkish Food. I came here often after working or was in the area. My favorite is the Lamb Gyro- it has so much flavor and also came with extra pita and hummus. I definitely recommend trying here out. The guy who owns the restaurant has excellent customer service and so polite and friendly.

Not only is the falafel terrible, the woman who waited on me was rude and condescending! Don't go here. Go around the corner to Anatolia Cafe and Hookah Lounge. They have the best falafel I have ever eaten!

Amazing food and huge portions for the price, everyone was also very friendly I will for sure be going back

Tried to support this establishment bc it's been here since I was a student over 10 years ago but I probably won't be going back because of the woman there who takes the payment. Came twice and ordered the exact same thing and the 2nd time the guy asked about sides, which confused me. So the lady starts yelling at me. My friend asked a question and the lady started yelling at her too. Implied we should know how their menu works. Then she starts screaming at both of us about how they're an institution bc they've been there for so long. Not sure if racist or mentally unstable. But I'm starting to question HOW they stay in business for so long...

Awesome place! Delicious food! Great customer service. Would highly recommend :) The falafel and chicken doner were amazing. If I had to say one negative thing is that it was a little too much chicken and not enough sauce for my preference, but it didn't make it any less delicious.

It was amazing and so flavorful. 10/10 recommend!! The service was quiz and the workers were very nice

Get that white woman OUT!!! She is rude and condescending, I go to Georgia state and usually go here than the other Mediterranean spot bc it is closer to my school for connivence. The white lady is trifling, first when I went with my friend, my friend had asked for a side of falafels and hummus and the white lady said "I can only give u one." We stood there shocked she explained they only make a certain amount but one is ridiculous for a side. The guy in the back looked annoyed so it seemed like this isn't the first she's done something like this. The next time I went, I decided to give the place another try, the guy behind she was screaming at him in a not so polite way, than she rung me up for 9 dollars. I was like weird okay, but maybe it was tax. I skipped and didn't give a tip bc I was picking it up and going to my next class and it was already more than I anticipated to pay, and she gave me a really weird ugly smile. Kind of like she wanted to say some foul stuff but couldn't. Keep in mind I added humus inside my wrap (that's what she was screaming at the guy for he kept putting in the box and not in the wrap) and no tip. I came one last time (today) and I asked for the guy in the back for hummus in my wrap and he said okay and did it and I said thanks. She than gave me one of those smiles I usually find with racists. And CHARGED ME 46 CENTS FOR THE HUMUS. I than asked why she did that and she said "we tip for humus and I forgot last time." NO U DON'T U JUST WANTED A TIP, I didn't give her a tip again SHOCKER and she looked mad or disappointed. The guy in the back even looks fed up with her, she be loosing customers. The way she speaks to customers is flat out rude and she shouldn't be doing that in general and her attitude is ridiculous, also the way she be talking to the man in the back is flat out rude. I wanted to slap tf outta of her. Maybe I didn't give you a tip bc your a rude lady.

I love this family owned hole in the wall! Fevzi and Jo are so so kind and they make authentic food with love!! For vegetarians get the falafel salad and babaganoish

My boyfriend walked in to ask if there are vegan options and a staff member profiled him, acted in a racist way, and asked him to get out without allowing him to finish the question. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton and when my bf got back to the hotel room, he was extremely disturbed for good reason. It's extremely distressing to experience such blatant racism from restaurants around downtown Atlanta. Badly done! The owner needs to step up, apologize, and make sure that employees treat every person as human regardless of skin color.

I got a chicken kabob Greek salad. I like my salad chopped but this was too chopped. Almost slawed, so it held alot of moisture diluting the dressing. It was barely any feta, they use regular sliced black olives.... not Kalamata olives. The chicken was NOT kabob (not nasty) but chopped marinated chicken. Grrrrrrr. The hummus was ok, its plain so its limited on flavor. And the dressing was almost non existent. Sidenote..... they put hot sauce on everything. Regular vinegar based hot sauce. Think along the lines of lousiana hot sauce. So when they ask if you want spicy sauce that is what they will be referring to. And yes they will put hot sauce on your salad unless you specify otherwise. 2 stars for customer service. I was in and out, and they were nice.

Love their lamb gyros and the falafel & pasta is bomb! Some of the best gyros in atl!

Yes yes yes if you love greek stop here. I wanted something good and quick. The food is both, the service is quick. I had a chicken (spicy) wrap. Very reasonable prices as well. They offer combos, salads, gyros and have different daily specials. Stop by

Excellent fresh food gyro and rice chicken cooked over oven , nice people work in there and place clean to eat in family or social workers

We ordered the lamb doner salad. It was good but if you know the Turkish doner you know that it was not a doner but rather a gyro!!! That was disappointing as I could find many places to serve gyro but I can across town for a doner.

I went here during lunch time between classes and here's a warning... Its cray cray! Know where your going and what your going to order because there will be HANgry customers behind you. I. FOOD & DRINKS **Meat Lover: heaven in a wrap, seriously. Rotisserie roasted slices of mildly seasoned ground lamb served on pita with a combination lettuce, tomato, & tzaiki sauce WITH your choice of spicy or non spicy. I... Of course got spicy. Mmmmmmmmmm. I love to eat and can eat but I can never finish eating this wrap unless I force myself since I don't want to waste it or don't want to carry around this strong fragrance food. *Fruit Salad: to add the cooling/refreshing sensation after eating a delicious wrap/pasta salad. This salad normally comes with watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew, and grapes. *Pasta Salad: I have no idea how they make this cold salad or what's in it but I need a life time supply of it! II. SERVICE When it's busy, they normally give you a small sample of this fried piece of nirvana. My first experience was bad since I did not know what to order and it was during there busiest hours so I was frantic and blurted out what I saw first since there was hangry people behind me in such a small space. Luckily it became my all time favorite. After knowing what to order and how the flow works, the service seem to be okay. III. ATMOSPHERE/DECOR Very tiny space, maybe a size of a bathroom but big enough to have your food made and maybe fit 5 people comfortably. Hole in a wall layout. IV. PRICES My order normally cost me under 9 bucks but I'm not sure if it's because of the student discount or if it's just that cheap. V. OVERALL I love it here. I will eat here every time I go to my classes or maybe walk from gilmer to broad get this food. I always have a battle with myself to whether try something new in the area or just order my usual. I ordered my usual. Try this place out! Best gyro I had so far in Atlanta.

Super delicious! Everything is amazingly fresh and their falafel's are so darn flavorful!! I love their spinach falafel wrap with the tabooty (lol however that is spelled) and no dairy! It's a perfectly filling vegetarian wrap and the flavors are so complementing. Okay.. But I will say that the lady who takes the orders isn't this nicest. However the guys who make the food are so nice!

Under 9 bucks for a box full of gyro, greek salad and two sides--- Not bad. Ali Baba Cafe is VERY small--- meaning only 2 people can stand physically inside and order at a time. However, the guy is super quick so line moves fast. I thought the salad was fresh and the gyro okay. I would come back for a quick lunch.

I've been eating here for years! Great pit stop for a healthier lunch option during the work/school week. The line may be out of the door and prices have gone up a bit, but they still give a nice sized portion.

The food here can be ok, but it tends to have some off-flavors I do not like. It's just a counter inside a closet, but there are plastic chairs and tables on the sidewalk outside to sit on if you like. The reason I won't go back here is the rudeness of the large woman who works there: she rations napkins as though they were Willy Wonka's golden tickets and begrudges you silverware as well if you should have the audacity to ask for some. Believe me, the food isn't worth it. If you need some quick Turkish falafel/gyro/wrap food to go, you will probably be ok with this place. But I will not be going back there. I've been there a few times over the years, and I've never been impressed with it--it hasn't improved at all. The rudeness of the woman who runs the shop is intolerable to me. There are so many better places to get food on Broad Street

I would urge you to seek out Ali Baba. Or at least, the Ali Baba Mediterranean Delites place on Broad Street. This hole-in-the-wall establishment produces some of the best and cheapest Mediterranean food to be had anywhere in the city. I had a gyro wrap and a cup of lentil soup at this Broad Street eatery. They even made the gyro wrap spicy, and it was delicious, spicy enough to stimulate but not overpower. I already want to go back for more. The lentil soup was mild, flavorful, and savory, just as good lentil soup should be. I say forego the spoon, just pick up the bowl and enjoy. This hole-in-the-wall is almost literally that, with enough space to get in, place your order, grab your treats, and enjoy your food at the tables outside. These folks do a quick business (they get really busy during lunchtime), so it's hard to linger over the menu. It does make sense to visit the website beforehand and decide what you want. Next time I will try the hummous, and maybe a doner. Ali Baba is only open Monday through Friday for lunch. But again, I do recommend it. Holler if you want some company.

Delicious, fast and convenient Mediterranean food, and the owner is extremely kind. I thought I had misplaced my wallet and he insisted on giving me a free meal, even after I found it. He told me he was observing Ramadan and wanted to feed others. I left a generous tip for his employees but that was all he would accept. His random act of kindness made me consider how I can be more generous today!

C'mon! The name alone has to at least get you interested. No? Well try some of the best Mediterranean in Atlanta. Broad street's gem, this is as good as it gets! This is no dine in place. Just enough room to get in, order, and either sit outdoors or find seating next door through the revolving doors to the left of the store. Just don't forget to grab your beverage at the open doors just a few steps away from Ali Baba's. If there's a gripe, and it is minor, is the first couple of times there, you may get called on to provide your order before you even get to look at the menu. The cashier sometimes moves slower than the food prepares, but that's okay. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that anything you order is consistently good and you will enjoy yourself. I had the chicken shish kabobs my last time here with a choice of two sides, so I had to get the hummus, phenomenal, and falafel, also really great. They'll always ask if you want your hummus spicy. Give it a shot if you like a little kick and give Ali Baba's a try in general...great food!

The food was delicious and warm. I picked it on time when I arrived there. The older guy was super generous and friendly. The price is good and definitely will be back again. I recommend it for middle eastern cuisine lovers.

Hole in the wall for sure but the people and food couldn't be better. The lamb is juicy but not greasy and the falafel is amazing with the spicy sauce.

Good prices, hefty portions. I got an gyro that came with a side of fries. The gyro was interesting because they put something a bit spicy in it. I was downtown for a convention so decided to walk around to find a new place to eat at. The place was small but big enough for the number of customers there. Staff was friendly. There were outlets for me to charge my phone.

The restaurant setting was a little iffy since there was a lot of flies and didn't feel that sanitary to eat in. I liked my meal which was gyro wrapped in pita bread with vegetables. I would recommend the food but probably go to go next time.

All the food here is stellar. A simple place with some of the best falafel and gyros around. Very authentic. I recommend the Mediterranean platter to - hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouli, grape leaves mediterranean salad, falafel and warm pita bread. TIP: Secret seating indoors nearby...Go through one of the stained double wooden revolving doors just to the left of Ali Baba Cafe into the office building. Once inside take the stairs down to find tables and chairs for many of local restaurants.

AWFUL.... This is NOT worth standing on line for... Being a turkish food lover, this is straight disrespectful. I ordered the Turkish Doner which should have been a ground lamb kebab but was actually given the gyro meat... After having waited on line for almost 15 minutes in a tight spot, I just took it and went back to work. I wish I would have gone some place else, because I ended up throwing the entire styrofoam filled container in the trash after only 2 bites. Being a native NY'er that has eaten at the REAL Ali Baba off of 34th street more times that I should probably admit, I think I am more than qualified to say that this place is TRASH - but that's just my opinion. To each is own & you like what you like. I can honestly say that if this was the only place open and I had a choice of going here or driving 30+ minutes in any direction; PEDAL TO THE METAL....

Umm... what's more to say than this place has exceptional Turkish food. I'll keep it short and simple. GYROS GYROS GYROS. I always get it here. The falafel is really good as well. The owners are the friendliest folks you'll ever meet. They've supported several events with a cultural organization that I'm apart of consisting of Georgia State University and Georgia Tech.

You can't really argue with a less than $8 lunch combo and a line of 15 people out onto the street. As I write this, spring is in the air. Oh, no, wait. That's just a thousand trees getting their freak on in a sort of sick joke on asthmatics and allergy sufferers. But don't let this stop any of you from going to lunch at Ali Baba. In fact, don't even think about the millions of pollen particles you're snorting into your nose as you wait in a line 15 people deep to get a lamb or chicken gyro with some baba ganoush. No, try not to even fathom how yellow your car is at this moment, because, well, you have to concentrate on lunch at Ali Baba. That's right -- I stood in a line 15-20 people deep in this annual arboreal sex fest to get some food here the other day. The pace was quick and efficient, even if you DO have to go to a duplicate version of the hole in the wall that IS Ali Baba to get your lunch combo's drink. Nestled in the front entrance of some Fairlie-Polar district condominiums, Ali Baba's takes up two spaces the size of an afterthought newsstand on either side of the condo entrance. On the right side, you get in the line and order your food. Lamb and chicken gyro combos, all sorts of Mediterranean side dishes (e.g. baba ganoush, tabouleh, hummus, etc.), and interesting a la carte dessert pastries. The beauty of this setup is its efficiency. You have to get your drink at a duplicate not-a-newsstand on the left side of the condo entrance, thus reducing the "What do I want to drink today?" indecisiveness on the food side. On the food side, ordering is fast-paced -- geared towards regulars who know what they want. That doesn't mean you can't be a noob like me about picking your food. The guys behind the mini-buffet glass partitions will happily give you samples and prepare your gyro order to taste. I'm a fan of the lamb gyro combo for $7.50 or so with tax. You get a gyro, any one of the many side dishes and a Coke for that price. The gyro is a good portion with lettuce, tomato, lamb meat, yogurt, onion, etc. I avoid a lot of the yogurt -- be sure to ask them to go easy on it unless you didn't care about the vegetables that died in that salad dressing in the "Schoolhouse Rock" refrigerator expose from the 1970s. They'll also ask if you want it spicy -- if you do, you'll get some sort of spicy marinara in the bottom of your gyro. You want this. It's good, and it's not spicy unless you're a bit of a whinge. I can also recommend the baba ganoush and the falafel (not frozen) from this place. Both very good. Once you've got your food, pay the man at the counter, walk across the condo entrance to the other side, get your fountain drink, and BAM! 15-20 people and about five minutes later, you've gotten a decent meal at Ali Baba's. Dining in a fog of pollen can't get any better, cheaper or faster than this. I need a Benadryl.

Yum and great portions. The greek salad with meat and sides is easily good for 2 people

Best Falafel Everrrrrr! Customer service is great too. They're very nice. I will be a frequent customer

Can I even begin to tell you how delicious the food is here! Today I was going to walk out because the falafel was room temp not hot. Well, the owner stopped me in my tracks and made me try it. It was amazing! I got back in the end of the line and ordered mine as a wrap. Everything was fantastic. So good that when I got back to the office and a co-worker asked what I had for lunch today, I told her I just was out of the building and picked up lunch. She looked at it, tasted everything, and left to go buy her own! Now that should tell you all you need to know. Yummy!!

I Love when I find new places, that were right in front of my face the whole time. I was a little intimidated when I walked in but luckily the owner (I think) made me feel right at home. I had no idea what I wanted so he made me a special salad plate with meat and Falafel. Omg! Amazing!!!! I've been eating off Broad St. (Reuben's and Rosa's) for almost 15 years. I will definitely become a regular. If you're looking for some Great Greek/Mediterranean food, that's well priced, Please give this place a try!

Took a risk on this place since the Greek cafe across the street shut down. Should have stuck with GLC or Aviva for my Mediterranean food. I ordered the chicken gyro and the meat was just bad. Seemed like expired chicken that was slow cooked with tons of spices to try and mask the decay. Nice folks inside and it was quick. Cold sides looked ok so I may give it another shot. The chicken was hard to eat and the lamb looked highly processed, so I recommend you go elsewhere for gyros.

The best gyro anywhere. We have had gyros in Turkey, and all over the USA but by golly this is the best Gyro. The owner's Dad actually is a chef in Istanbul and has a chain of restaurants there employing 300. So it was no surprise for us that every item on Ali Baba's menu that we tasted here on Broad street; was very palatable, very delicious, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. We tried the Bakalwa for desert. Sinfully delicious. Like all other Bakalwas this one was not dripping or soaked in honey. The amount was just perfect. Honestly, if you haven't eaten Gyro, falafal or for that matter; if you haven't eaten at Ali Baba Cafe you have no idea what true good Turkish food tastes like. I have spent two weeks in Turkey eating at authentic restaurants and even here in Atlanta at Turkish festivals and other so called authentic Turkish and Greek outfits. This is a fast food style cafe and seating is on the sidewalk. All I can say is get down to 60 Broad Street. You will be back.

Owner very nice and accommodating to your diet. Quick and GOOD. I got the veggie wrap with a veggie samosa.

Unpretentious and delicious food and super friendly staff! They even gave me a sample of some falafel as I was waiting even though it was a mere 1 minuet that I had to wait!

Their food IS AMAZING. It's amazing and cheap. Some of the best mediterranean food around. The cooks are super nice and will work with you about sides and extras, etc. but the horrible woman working the cash register is actually horrible and almost always makes me wish I had gone somewhere else. She yells at customers and talks down to them. She is rude to the cooks too. Not bad enough for me to stop eating there because it's so good but omg please tell that cashier to stop being so generally awful. I hate standing in line listening to her berate customers while I wait for my food. I hate that I have to request my 10% discount. I hate that when I ask her for a bag she acts like she's doing me some giant queenly favor.

Off the bat, the food is decent. But the lady running the joint? A complete B****. Listen, lady: some people aren't too acquainted with mediterranean food. How about you teach them rather than ridiculing them? My friend felt so awful after coming out of here, he didn't finish his meal. And he even tipped her. Disappointing. Straight up.

Ohhh merhaba, Turkish street food! How I missed thee!! Ever returning from study abroad in Turkey (and it's been some time), I've been searching for an authentic, good Turkish place. I hated having to splurge at upscale Mediterranean restaurants when all I wanted was some juicy doner + simple salad for a few bucks. AND AT LAST! Ali Baba is tucked away like a diversity recruit in the sea of American food chains on Broad Street. I probably would've never stepped into that little strip if my brother hadn't told me about this gem (thank you, Brother). The food, man. I don't even know what to say besides that they are just so darn delicious. I love their wraps, spicy or not. Their salads and tabuli are very juicy (probably overly so). They have grape leaves, baklava, evil eye wall hanging, and other things that a good lil Turkish place should have. It IS very hole-in-the-wall. It's like a food stand with a door. There are seatings on the street and in the random building, but they are pretty spartan... I mean they are functional, but not somewhere you want to take your date to, promising authentic Turkish cuisine. Well, unless your date was me. Then you might get really lucky. The 10% discount for GSU students is a nice touch, if you're a GSU student, are with one, or can pass off as one. I believe they have a new location in Little Five Points, so I will be definitely making trips out to one of the two locations. Yum yum!

Hands down the best falafel in the city. I keep meaning to order something else off the menu, but the line behind me and the fast get-in-get-out lunch rush pace of the place makes ordering feel more like an impulse than an actual decision, take that as you will. I've never even been to their other booth just a few steps away where they serve soups and stuff, I think. But damn, that's a good falafel wrap.

I ordered a chicken wrap - it was a cost efficient special that came with a drink and I order a side of lentil soup. The wrap just had too much sauce on it. Taziki sauce and what ever sauce the chicken was in over powered the tasted of any chicken onions and greens included in the wrap. It was so saucy that the wrap was soggy and I really could not enjoy it. I ended up having to eat the wrap with a fork. This is suppose to be a type of street food not a saucy mess. I was not impressed and won't be ordering this item again. The lentil soup tasted pretty good. It has a nice flavor that came with a good amount of pita bread. Overall I give it 2 stars because lentil soup is not a hard thing to make nor was it the nest I ever had. The wrap was up enjoyable.

Ali Baba is another example of a place (like Six Feet Under) that everybody seems to fawn over but I think is just okay. Go to Ali Baba for a $6.25 combo that includes a wrap, a side of hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli or the like, and a soda. I wanted to like my falafel wrap better than I actually did. It's an interesting sandwich, but none of the ingredients were particularly good - I've had better textured and flavored falafel patties, the hummus doesn't stand up to Trader Joe's, and all the other stuff they throw in there like oily iceberg, hot sauce and something white that might either be tahini or sour cream, only helps distract from the falafel itself. I might have enjoyed it more if they had served it hot. The spinach/cheese pie looked good though, so I'll have to come back and try that. And the "pistachio bird's nest baklava," while a bit pricey at $3 for one piece, is delicious. Another advantage to Ali Baba is that all those outdoor tables are reserved for Ali Baba customers, so you're slightly more likely to find a place to sit outside, if that's what you're looking for. Of course, I sometimes break the rules and sit at those tables even if I'm not eating there.

Doner, doner, doner. Be careful. Once you taste it, you're hooked. They put an addictive chemical in it that makes you crave it nightly. It's delicious and cheap. I've tried the falafel, the salad combo, and the chicken doner, all of which are good enough, but don't bother messing around, get the doner wrap. I prefer mine with a side of tabouli. Slap a little tabouli in the wrap and you're ready for some good eats.

My body requested I eat some vegetables today, so I went to Ali Baba's in search of something fibrous. I felt a little rushed in the cramped, chiming space and quickly decided on the Mediterranean vegetable wrap with a spinach pie. The spinach wrap contained yogurt, hummus, a slab of fried eggplant, fresh parsley, carrot strings and probably some other roughage that remained indiscernible in the sea of yogurt. The wrap was all right. I think I ordered the wrong thing. Extra points go to the cashier, who complimented my necklace.

Was in Atlanta for a meeting this morning and was walking to catch the train to the airport and decide to find some lunch and just happened to find this place! So glad I walked up the street which I have no idea what the name was but found this tiny hole in the wall place!!! I knew I had found the right place to eat when little old ladies from the Middle East were buying bread from them. I lived in Turkey/north Cyprus for 4 years and this was one of the best doner kabob that I have had since being back in the states. I even had a few Iraq's sitting next to me! Great little place to sit outside and watch all of those southern ladies walk by!!! What a great day!! Now off to catch my flight back to Tampa.

Can the people who work here stop making me love them more? Probably not. I mean seriously we are at best food friend status. Mondays, some people may go to Moe's for $5 burritos, I come here for $5.25 (with tax!) wraps that probably taste a hell of a lot better. I come here like once a week now, and it's amazing it's not more often. For example, last week they had made a new side, a black eyed pea salad. I was intrigued so I was given a little sample, so I took it to eat with my gyro down in the seating. SO. GOOD. I went back to give my verdict before heading towards my class, and the farewell I get is "see you tomorrow." I stopped myself...somehow. For some reason I have enjoyed the falafel with a bit of hummus and spicy sauce on its own when given to me as a sample more than as a wrap. This could have been the work of the feta they put on it. I don't think there is any indication on the menu that they will put feta cheese on a falafel wrap, so be sure to tell them if you don't want it. I also tried the chicken wrap, which was okay, but all around I definitely love the true blue gyro the most. I also like that they have so many tables designated for their customers only outside. Today was the perfect day to eat outside, and a fellow Ali Baba diner at the table next to mine sure liked to talk. Usually I'm kind of like "oh god why is this person talking to me" whenever someone I don't know talks to me, but obviously since he has good taste in food, that was good enough for me. Delicious Mediterranean food can bring everybody together! #Yelp365 - 45/365
