Ali Baba's Cave

So glad I stopped here with the Mission Food tour. Would have never given this place a try. Very basic interior but the food way makes up for the ambience. The falafel was freshly made, well seasoned, light and fluffy, rolled in thin bread with all kinds of other good stuff that didn't overwhelm the falafel. I want to come back for the kebab or just have another of the world's best falafel. And super nice and quick service.

I have been coming to Ali Baba's Cave for many years and love the shwarma wraps, especially the chicken. If you like it extra spicy, there is a spicy red sauce they can add to it, which I love, personally. When I visit San Francisco I always come here and eat. It costs about $10 for a Shwarma wrap. Of course, they also have falafel and a few other things.

So nice man and very good service , big wrap of shawarma i can’t finish it because is too bic big and low price amazing restaurant

Love the chicken wrap! It’s just delicious. Give a try!

Amazing falafel wraps with fries, hummus, peper sauce, and many other goodies. You, will, be.......full.

So good authentic food and fresh! We go here for lunch regularly. There is a ton of room to sit but more than most places In The mission. My fave is their potatoes...not the “healthiest” option but boy are they freaking fantastic!!! Oh and their lamb is perfect.

Anytime we go on vacation we try and find a place to buy Falafels. While visiting friends in San Francisco, this restaurant was recommended. After trying dozens of "Falafel places" (for lack of a better name), I can say this one ranks higher than most. The portions compared to the price are fair. The service was quick. The restaurant was clean. No complaints!

There are two particularly great features about Ali Baba's Cave (ABC). The first is that it is open until 11pm. For some reason, the majority of the restaurants in the area have decided that shutting their doors at 10pm is a good plan. I'm glad that ABC has resisted that trend. The second is that their portions are large, and their food is good. In the arena of quick, filling, and reasonably priced meals, ABC stands toe-to-toe with the local burrito joints, and often emerges from the fray as the hummus-y champion. They make their falafels from scratch too, so if they're fresh they are amazing.
