"As far as this map goes, Ali Baba is the veteran; its original shop on Greenville Avenue opened in 1989 (although it’s relocated several times and grown to multiple locations since). Originally it was a simple sit-down restaurant featuring traditional Lebanese recipes from the mother of the brothers who owned the joint, Adam and Jalal Chanaa. Now, Ali Baba’s saffron chicken, fried cauliflower, and silky hummus are Dallas staples." - Rachel Pinn, Alaena Hostetter

This Mediterranean buffet was wonderful. They had a full range of Mediterranean food with plenty of different flavors. The staff was great and the place was nice and clean. I would recommend you try this place.

Food is really fresh. Saturday evening buffet was $25 a person, but it’s actually worth it for the quality of food. The interior could be more. It’s very plain. For the vibrant Mediterranean art and culture, they could decorate it to justify a more expensive dining experience.

I was in town for a conference and for a pre-gathering time, and our friends decided to go to Ali Baba Mediterranean. The food was wonderfully tasty and had a Mediterranean salad with chicken and a sample of the beef shawarma. I also had a friend that did the plate and we all ate our food! Highly recommended with great service.

We used to love this place, but it is just not the same! We stopped in for lunch on a Monday. It was Presidents Day, but we were shocked they had a sign on the door indicating that the buffet was $25 instead of $20 for "holiday pricing". Seriously! On Presidents Day! **Eye roll** We proceeded in, paid for the buffet, and got a table. When I went to get a drink, almost all the fountain drink options were labeled OUT. Okay, what is going on here!?! Not good. Especially since we can only drink sugar free beverages. I stopped an employee to complain and explain. He was kind enough to set up the sugar free drink dispenser for us, but no clue why all the other ones were out!? On to the buffet. I always like to start with soup and the tomato basil soup did not disappoint, but the seeded bread was soaked with too much olive oil and the spanakopita was soggy. The rest of the food was average at best. The chicken is usually so good here, but it was flavorless. Even the chicken dish with the mushrooms and gravy. No flavor whatsoever. Definitely not worth the Presidents Day up charge holiday pricing! We won't be back.

Lunch buffet only $20/pp Food are always hot! Love rice pudding. Quality and vibe were nice. But to be honestly, they didn't have much dishes.

Friendly staff and FANTASTIC, fresh buffet; highest quality around. Specialties for me are: the juicy flavorful gyro, slightly smoky baba ganoush, hummus, light and crunchy falafel, roasted cauliflower, fragrant yellow rice, eggplant/tomato sauce chickpea dish (my favorite!), fresh vegetables/zucchini, broiled chicken, softly floral rose water rice pudding with pistachios with added cinnamon. Sometimes they serve fresh, stuffed peppers and stuffed zucchini.

Ali Baba was the perfect place for lunch. A variety of fresh items were available on their buffet. I sampled most of the buffet during my visit. I recommend you try the falafel, lentil soup, pita bread, rice, and any meat and vegetable.
