I like the ambiance and the positivity of this place. Fresh fruits abound for the smoothies. People are very friendly and joke with each other creating a warm atmosphere. The food had good flavor and was fresh according to my son who was working a double as a local manager unable to leave his store. The downfall was the missing tzatziki I had asked for extra of after verifying they had it. Will give em another try and they owe me some tzatziki sauce!!

When you get to Ali Baba the smokiness of their meats strikes you right away. The restaurant has a solid menu - nothing overly ambitious, just the right amount of stuff to be made in exquisite confidence. They have a smoothie bar - and it's the real thing: truly natural and rich smoothies. Additionally they have have a huge candy selection. The location is quiet, between a campus of several hotels and the more commercial parts of Syracuse. It's a nice place to get away for a bit. The chicken shawarma was great, rich in taste, abundant in meat. The beef shawarma was great too - the meat portion was a bit smaller but the taste was great too. The falafel was among the best you could have - sometimes falafel can have a dry texture but these are just right. The soft drinks were a tad pricey... but the food was well priced. The service was great. Polite and enthusiastic about their food.

I've been here twice, both times were solid 4's. Service is friendly, enthusiastic, and invested in making your food like you want it. They're really easy to get along with, and there are multiple things like pies that aren't on the menu that they can make. They seem pretty authentic in that the dishes are full of spices and flavors uncommon in American-ized restaurants, with very little sugar-sweet flavors. I found the zatar pie well made, but it's blend of lemon was too much for my palate. However, the shish kebabs were really nice and not at all dry like some restaurants. I'll be back to explore the menu. Next time I'll try the egg pie in the morning, since they're 24-7.

I've ordered a hamburger from them twice, but it took forever to get my food. I called to ask about it, but they didn't provide any help.

Their cornbread is amazing and the staff is welcoming! Additionally, you can see them make the food in front of you.
