Ali Baba Turkish Restaurant (Charlestown)

SUCH delicious food with incredible service. Highly recommend the lamb kebab, chicken also so juicy. The staff was so kind, the Turkish tea and the desserts were five stars. Get the hummus!!

My friends and I went to Ali Baba late night as a last resort food spot and experienced a kindness that I could not possibly explain in words. The food was delicious, the service despite having come in so late was spectacular, and the atmosphere was so so warm and so so kind. We absolutely destroyed our food and would do so 100 times over. Thank you so so much Alibaba— you will see us again for the wonderful night you gave us !

Love this place. Recommended dishes like lahmajun (lamb pizza), pide (with cheese topping), these are my favourite Turkish pizzas. I love the yougurt drink iyran and make sure to have the milk pudding kaqandibi for dessert. Also now they have the new hot food section, a variety of Turkish home-cooked warm food to top with rice or bread. Healthy and cheap option in Cambridge. Will definitely visit again.

Very good but very pricey. Definitely worth it. Tastes authentic. Unbelievable flavors and very good portions. Kind staff

The Turkish food was excellent! We stayed at a nearby hotel and had the food for multiple nights because it wasn't enough. The bread was crispy on the outside, and warm and fluffy on the inside. Together with the lentil soup as well as the hummus, it was splendid! We also had chicken shish kebab and the avocado salad in this visit, it was a really enjoyable dinner. Come visit if you can!

I got the Chicken Kabob which was really good with the warm bread. They also serve Mexican foods. Food was pretty good, the prices are a bit high but, food is good. The Mexican food is also pretty good. The staff are really nice. Definitely my lunch spot. UPDATED ON 7/27/22, PRICES HAVE JUMPED SIGNIFICANTLY…losing one star and now at 3 stars. UPDATED 5/22/23 PRICES HAVE JUMPED ONCE AGAIN! A single taco is $5.50. Definitely not worth it! Losing another star. Burritos are absolutely TERRIBLE

Simple yet well-executed Middle-eastern street food. I came upon this place as this is very closely located to my workplace, and I got to try their spinach pie and Adana Kebab. Both were fantastic and although they were a bit heavily seasoned (salty), I enjoyed them nonetheless. I especially enjoyed the roasted veggies (tomato and pepper), and they went perfectly well with the kebab. The only miss from this place was the price point of their menu. Despite their unassuming interior and food presentation, food here is quite expensive for what you get.

The food was tasty, served hot, and seemed fresh. Unfortunately, the dessert was underwhelming, and the service and seating could be better. Otherwise, I would have rated it higher. If I’m in the area again, I’d definitely give it another try!
