Ali Baba

This is our second time here, and we thought it was great both times. We split a mixed grill and a fattoush salad, which were both very tasty and more than enough for the two of us. They have a great dessert selection too, including baklava, a variety of delicious-looking cakes, Dubai chocolates, and gelato. Definitely better than most 4-star restaurants on Google Maps. I think they're more oriented toward takeout, because we had the place nearly to ourselves, but it's comfortable for dining in and has some nice decorative touches despite overall being pretty casual.

If you haven’t tried the Dubai strawberry chocolate cup you are missing out. The service was slow, but she was working alone and did try her best.

My boyfriend and I recently dined at Ali Baba Mediterranean Restaurant, and we were thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptional, especially the Ali Baba Veggie Combo and the Jerusalem Mix Platter. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu, attentive to our needs, and provided great recommendations. Their friendly and professional demeanor added to our overall dining experience. The atmosphere at Ali Baba is tranquil, making it a perfect spot for both lunch and dinner. We enjoyed the relaxing ambiance, which allowed us to fully savor our meal and time together. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a peaceful setting. We give it a 5 out of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

People are friendly and food includes really good desserts along with the regular #Mediterranean items. You will find #DubaiChocolate and Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Cup. The food is #Halal. For Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Cup, I would suggest adding a layer of whipped cream after the first layer at the bottom to keep it moist. Right now, it keeps getting too dry as you go all the way from top to bottom layers. #Rockford #Illinois #Alibaba #travel

Food was delivered for an Azza. The Mansef was authentic with the shrach (the bread). The rice was nicely tinted lightly, a little bit of sticky and perfectly cooked. The was lamb tender and cut into good sized pieces. The distinctive element is a rich, tangy yogurt sauce called jameed, made from fermented and dried sheep or goat's milk, was served plentiful. The large platters were garnished with toasted almonds and fresh parsley before serving.

Went here sort of late like an hour prior to closing was absolutely dead with no one there had to wait a couple minutes for someone to come out. The lady working the counter for take out was not really friendly barely saying anything. I got the chicken shwarma, came with a salad and rice but no pita. The food was passable for the price with decent volume of food even if it wasn't super flavorful. I wouldnt rush out to go here again but I wouldnt not eat here again either. The bakery looked quite good if I tried it again it would probably be for that.

We ordered a 2-people family platter for 4 adults and we were all full and took some left overs. I switched out the lamb kabobs with gyros and that was the best decisions ever. We really loved the gyros and the chicken kabobs were very juicy and mouth watering.

Nice staff, funcky smell like cleaning solution. The chicken schawarma and rice were flavorful and decent portion, the beef schawarma wasn’t that great and portion of beef was small. Fries were pretty good. I’d probably go back but would also look for another option in the area when back.
