Ali Baba

This place has gone through some positive changes recently. New employees, great service, and new deserts bar. I had the pleasure of receiving a sample of the coffee cake while they were setting up. It was possibly the best I have ever had. Light and moist; not dense. You have to try it to believe it. There Gelato in a variety of flavors.

I’ve hard Mediterranean food all over, and this is one of the best ive had. They make their pita bread fresh, it came out steaming! Be sure to try it with their garlic sauce. The hummus and baba ganush were on point. Kids wiped out the hummus right away and we had to get more. The meat and chicken are seasoned so well and cooked to perfection. Our son who wasn’t hungry went to town on the kabobs. Be sure to get their goat chops! You won’t regret it. After eating till we were full… the food was so good that we were looking at everything that was coming out of the kitchen 😬 They have slushie machines for the kids, but their lemon bar cheesecake was so good that we wanted to go back the same day before leaving Rockford! The restaurant was nice and clean and the staff was super friendly. The owner came out to check on us and the manager made sure we had a great experience.

The service is friendly and attentive, though there can occasionally be wait times, especially during busy hours. The decor, while not overly fancy, is charming and adds to the overall vibe of the restaurant. One of the standout features is the generous portion sizes, which ensure you’re getting great value for your money. While the food is consistently good, some might find the prices to be on the higher side compared to other local options, but it’s worth it for the quality and taste. Parking is usually convenient, and the restaurant’s location in Rockford is easy to access.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was great, one of the best baba ghanoush I've had traveling. Pita bread warm and fresh.

This place is a must-visit! The food is incredibly delicious and always fresh. I highly recommend trying it out!

I got the mixed grill it exceeded all expectations! Every bite was a flavorful journey, from the succulent meats to the perfectly charred veggies. The portion size was generous, making it ideal for sharing or indulging solo. A must-try for any grill enthusiast!"and The lentil soup at was deliciously satisfying. It had a comforting homemade taste with just the right amount of seasoning. Perfect for a cozy meal!"

Excellent Mediterranean food. I had never had a parsley salad before I came here. It was excellent. The gyro was really good too. Would definitely stop here next time I’m passing through.
