This is an amazing family owned restaurant. It has a pleasing decor, friendly service, and delicious and authentic Mediterranean food. Dan and I both got sandwiches. I got an avocado sandwich and Dan got the Shawarma chicken. They were both delicious. Both were served on fresh pita bread. Dan got a huge serving of delicious marinated chicken. It was such a generous serving that he couldn't finish it. Mine was just right. They have quite a variety of Mediterranean dishes on their menu. We plan to return and try their egg plant dip, grape leaves, and other tempting choices. They charge extra for using credit cards. I find that ironic because what drew us to this restaurant is that it is on the rapid rewards dining partners list. When we dine at a restaurant on this list, we get 3 airline points per dollar spent instead of the usual one point per dollar. I usually avoid businesses that charge for credit cards. read more

Ali Baba, "The Thief" It has been over 5 years since my wife and I had lunch at the Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill. We had always enjoyed the food and service. Noticeable, a little redecorating has happened since then, both with the décor and the prices. I swear that the prices have doubled since 2018 our first visit. Fairly and appropriately up due to inflation. So significantly higher that instead of the platter we always had, we went with the more economical Chicken Shawarma sandwich. Tabouli and hummus for the sides. The sandwiches were filling. Packed with chicken and fresh salad. The pita on the sandwich and the squares for dipping were a little stale. Tabouli average and mild, but rich nutty flavored, thick hummus very good. A heavy peppering with ground sumac always brightens up the hummus and the sandwich; well, any Mediterranean food for that matter. (Sumac, yes, the same stuff that grows on the roadsides in Oklahoma.) Always ask for it. Something I forgot about, the Cardamon Iced tea. This is a refreshing, tasty drink. Ali Baba's is one of the very few Mediterranean restaurants that serves it. Try it if you haven't The service is friendly/adequate. Order at the counter. Your food is delivered to the table. read more

Ali Baba has slowly becoming my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Tulsa for many different reasons. I love their combination kabob platter. Yes, the chicken kabob can be dry at times but the seasoning on their chicken is SO good. It has more of the zesty, lemon flavor than at any other places which taste DELICIOUS to me. Ali Baba has the best kabobs in the business. Ali Baba offers 6% cash back through Upside. Whenever I get food here, I get an automatic 6% discount, making the food even more affordable. The quality of their food is very consistent, at least the combination kabob platter. I had it three times already and the food was fantastic every time. Delicious kabobs, offers discounts, consistent quality...I feel like this is enough features for a 5 stars restaurant. read more

I was visiting out of state and stopped in here because I love med food and was starved. I got the med plate with gyro, tabouli, hummus, rice, pita and taziki sauce. The plate was huge and I had enough for a few more meals. The tabouli was excellent and some of the best I've eaten in years. Was pleasantly surprised with the taziki - so nice and tangy. Everything was fresh and delicious. Wish it were closer to my hometown. read more

Order a gyro, falafel, hummus, tabouli and pita bread. Was so looking forward to trying all of it since I've had many people recommend this place. Unfortunately, everything had a very bitter taste, like bad olive oil or old spices or something. Thought it was just me but my wife completely agreed! Literally everything but the bread had this bitter taste. Would like to try again but has anyone else had this experience? read more

This is our second time here in the last week and I'm pleasantly surprised every time. The falafels are delicious, gyro/ meat is fantastic. The grape leaves and cabbage rolls are delicious. Get the grape leaves served hot. on our second trip there we got the wraps and they were beyond fantastic. I've always gotten this before for my mom and I when we had to go to the hospital for past 13 years but I've never gone in. They definitely remember you when you go in lol Reminds me of a place back home in Mpls; he made a trip yesterday from ba just to eat here! I specifically remember them used to having baba ghanoush but I guess it's only hummus now read more

I love gyros and have tried many around Tulsa. Time to try Ali Baba. I ordered a gyro sandwich to go. First, it was huge!! The lettuce, tomatoes, and onion were fresh and plentiful. I do wish they chopped the tomatoes for better distribution. The tzatziki was okay - maybe a tad runny for my liking, but I prefer a thicker sauce. The meat was generous -- lots of it. My issue was it was not griddled or crisped up any. While flavorful, it was all soft texture, and I like some caramlized crisp edges to help balance it out. Service was friendly and fast. I would love to have their gyros again, I just wish the meat was more to my liking. read more

My husband and I were visiting the area and a friend recommended this spot. It's a small restaurant, right next to a liquor store, and as someone else mentioned, it isn't much to look at, but it sure exceeded my expectations! The service was incredibly friendly, and everything on the menu looked delicious. I went with a Mediterranean platter and my husband had the kebab platter. I enjoyed it and would definitely make it a go-to spot if I lived in the area. read more

Ok so I was really happy w this plate. I did t kill all the rice but the chicken and beef were gone. The beef was a little on the different side but I really enjoyed it. Tender and lots of decent seasoning. The chicken wasn't too shabby either. I'd so grab it again. My friend had the pita and I'm gonna stop by and give that a shot next time! read more

Ali Baba Mediterranean - Chicken over basmati rice with added tomatoes and peppers - Mediterranean Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I'm sorry but the food I purchased for lunch this week is not comparable to the food I got a year ago. Ordered the gyro plate for $16. Paid 65 cents extra for 3 olives! They piled a lot of yellow rice, a teeny bit of meat, salad, squeezed a lot of dressing on top and my 3 olives. I was given 1 pita for my $16 plate I planned on sharing with my husband. There was not enough meat for us each to have one gyro. Also the tabbouleh lacked flavor. They need to get the recipe from Jason's deli! After eating the teeny portion of meat, salad and olives we tossed the rice and tabbouleh. We were still hungry and our $20 was wasted!! read more

Enjoyed tabouli (already gone), lentil soup, and hot tea. What a great lunch on a cold day! read more

I had the Mediterranean plate. Very flavorful! The service was also great. I recommend this place for good Mediterranean cuisine.

Great Persian food. Lots of gluten free choices. I got a family platter with cabbage rolls and they made a sub for me for the grape leaf rolls that aren't gluten free! Their rice is the best and the ground beef is very lean and spiced just right. Lots of regular customers for a reason and they even carried my family pack to the car for me! They also have a drive through and LOTS of ppl use it. I get to go food in the regular after work for a while now. Sorry no pictures, I'll get them next time because I'll be back! read more

Terrible. I evidently got the old dry leftovers from lunch instead of getting fresh early supper. I got the Mediterranean plate, falafel app. The lamb was dry and so salty I could barely eat it, everything else I threw out. No lie. I threw it i ln the garbage. read more

I'm a sucker for good Mediterranean food. I love a good Shawarma, kebab, and I'm anxious to try the lamb shank. Everything I've tried here has been very tasty and very authentic. The service is fast and the owner is happy to share stories from his life as an immigrant from Iran. I love when a business owner tries to connect with his patrons. read more

Food is very fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and welcoming. Love the casual atmosphere and the tea is spectacular.

On a whim, I decided to try this restaurant last week. I wanted something different, and I like Mediterranean food, so I gave it a shot... so happy I did!! I ordered a variety for my family. We got a kebab dinner and a mixed dinner. (Can't remember the exact name.) The mixed dinner had a cabbage roll, a grape leaf roll, hummus, tabouli, rice and gyro meat. Every single thing was fresh and tasted awesome. read more

Love this spot! Always good food and they have remodeled. Looks amazing in here. They have sit down areas and you can actually go somewhere and enjoy a meal. They also offer delivery now, and they have a drive thru so no matter what your status you can get great Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern Food. Try the Mediterranean platter! read more

Ali Baba Mediterranean - Interior- Newly Remodeled - Mediterranean Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Don't live in Tulsa but have a son there, and it's becoming a tradition for us to meet for dinner at this Iranian-inspired grill. Ambience is on a par with a neighborhood diner, but the food is among the best in this genre. Gyros, kabobs, lamb shank-all the items you love-are reasonably priced and served promptly. Try one of the Sampler plates and share for extra value! I promise you won't leave hungry! read more

Delicious, fully packed sandwich! Service was quick, price was great for the amount and quality. I will return.

Always great and really quick. I've eaten here over the years and it's consistent and good.

Wonderful food and even better people at this place. I have never had a bad experience here.

So interesting to see someone complain about too much parsley in tabouli, that's how it should be made! At any rate, each part of the Vegetarian Mediterranean Platter was phenomenal. Flavor was balanced and fresh. Not a complaint here and can't wait to make this a staple local restaurant in our home. read more

Just moved to the area and thought I'd give this place a try. Looked to be family own and they were incredibly nice and welcoming. They had my food ready quickly and for a good price. I got the Mediterranean Platter, Falafel, Gyro, and Hummus. My girlfriend and I both really enjoyed everything especially the Gyro. I don't know what they did to it, but it tasted better than most I've had. Mediterranean dish also had some other items I had never tried before and loved them. Great place, clean, nice employees, and good food. We will be visiting again soon! read more

We got the special of the week, 3 platters for $21.99. I was VERY impressed by the chicken, it was delicious, a little on the spicy side. Rice was nice and fresh. We got double hummus instead of tabouli. Tzatziki sauce was different then what I have ever tried but it was very good! My husband got the gyro meat platter. He wasn't a fan because unfortunately they left the casing on. He said it made it taste more like a hot dog which is not what he pictured gyro meat to be like. We've never seen it look that way any other place we've been. Other than that, Great potion sizes, was a lot of food! This was our first time and everyone enjoyed the sides and the chicken (Husband, toddler, and myself) my only complaint was the casing was still on the gyro meat and we very much disliked that. read more

Decent enough place. We came here because they had a special. I didn't like the hummus because it was really bland. The tabouli and taziki sauce were good though. The gyro meat was a bit crispy, I don't think they cut it off of the rotating spit thing, it lacked freshness. Probably won't be back here, I like Jumbo's a lot better. IJS read more

A nice clean, comfortable restaurant with friendly, interesting and fun people. The food was exquisite with all the flavors and variety that we had hoped for! Thank you for providing this amazing restaurant to our community! We also appreciate the fact that you don't close in the afternoon because we eat all hours of the day sometimes. Also, great service! We will be back many times I'm sure! Just wish you were a little closer to South Tulsa. But we will make this work! read more

First time trying this place! I had chicken shawarma and it was tasteless. the veggie didn't taste fresh, it had some kind of weird taste in it. Idk if I wan to try this place again. read more

The food was great the staff friendly and helpful the portions were perfect clean environment we had a great lunch.

This is my first on site visit, having been sent three kabob meals by a Persian friend after a recent surgery. Encouraged by those meals, we dropped by for lunch yesterday. Three of us split two Gyro sandwiches which we loved! In fact, these were the best we've tasted in Tulsa for flavor and amount of gyro meat. The tzatziki sauce was a little liquid but very tasty with the included tomatoes and lettuce on fresh pita. These sandwiches rival those of The Greek Place in Norman OK which is operated by Greeks. One reason for a favorable comparison may be that their gyro meat is the beef/lamb combo (which I understand is the only place in Tulsa to use this more expensive gyro meat rather than just beef). The service was prompt and I enjoyed exchanging the very few Farsi words I know with the owner. I heartily recommend Ala Baba Mediterranean Cafe! read more

I had a friend take me here and he recommended the lamb shank. It came out in a massive pot with a lot of broth around it. (I'm a huge newbie to Mediterranean food, so I didn't know what to expect) It looked good! It also came with a very large portion of rice. My friend instructed me to pick the meat off and put it in the rice, and add some broth. The meat was almost falling off the bone, it was so tender and wonderful. The broth and meat had very good flavor, but I did want to add a little salt. The price was pretty reasonable ($15) considering how much we got. I would love to come back and try more of their wonderful food! read more
