"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

I absolutely love coming to this place! First off, the staff is very friendly and attentive, and they provide a great atmosphere. Secondly, the food is priced very well, nothing on the menu seems overpriced at all, so very affordable. Thirdly, everything I have had here is delish! What I pictured is the falafel plate which comes with four and some fresh veggies. I also got the saffron chicken plate, which came with rice on the side. The rice had a nice hint of fragrance and paired fantastic with the chicken and the sauce. The chicken itself just about melted in my mouth, and the sauce was very flavorful. You can also go here in the morning to mid lunch times for their buffet which is an incredible way to try the majority of their dishes! I asked the waitress when I was here on a Sunday and she mentioned that Sunday buffets end at 3:00pm. If you haven’t been here at all , I highly recommend you try the buffet first, and enjoy your experience here cause that’s what you’ll have!

This place was excellent! My favorite item was the Saffron Chicken over rice, the bread was also very good. Staying nearby for work, a relative recommended as she used to frequent when her job was nearby. The buffet was well organized and plenty of variety to choose from. I plan to eat here again when I am back in the area.

My Goddaughter treated me to not only a healthy meal, but a very tasty meal. It was Mother’s Day. It was raining, but it didn’t deter the essence of a wonderful moment and environment to express love and appreciation. My Goddaughter is a frequent customer. It was my very first time. I am certain that I will also treat friends to a meal here. Thank you for the pleasant dining experience!!😋

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alibaba Restaurant in Dallas, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the outstanding service provided by Amanda, our waiter for the evening. From the moment I stepped through the door, Amanda greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Her attentiveness throughout the meal was unparalleled, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. I opted for the saffron chicken with falafel as a side, and I was blown away by the flavors and presentation of the dish. Each bite was a burst of authentic Middle Eastern flavors, expertly prepared by the talented kitchen staff at Alibaba Restaurant. What truly set this dining experience apart was Amanda’s exceptional service. Her friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine passion for hospitality were evident in every interaction. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire meal. Overall, Alibaba Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The combination of delicious food and unparalleled service, thanks to Amanda, made for a truly memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return and indulge in more of their delectable dishes while enjoying the same level of exceptional service. A heartfelt thank you to Amanda and the entire team at Alibaba Restaurant for making my visit truly unforgettable.

Food was very good, except for the rise, not that good as expected. I did not even eat half of it. Service was terrible. Our server simply abandoned us. I had to get up from my table to get what we need three times! Maybe to go would be best.

Man it's so sad to write this review. I grew up with Ali-Baba when it was located on Greenville Ave. This place is a shell of its former self. The food tasted like it was all reheated in a microwave. Nothing tasted fresh, the baba ganoush and humus tasted old and "fresh" out of the fridge. The waitress was great but that's about it. If you want real med cuisine go to Ahfra. It's a night and day difference in quality and freshness of the food. I won't ever be coming back here.

All you can eat buffet for $20 plus tax. The atmosphere is dingy looking, but the Mediterranean food is delicious. Great to brunch with your gal pals who are looking for something different. The host and staff are very hospitable!

We loved it! The falafel is amazing, and the roasted chicken was too! We will definitely be going back!
