    Ali Baba's Hummus Platter
    Cynthia G.

    Hubby and I enjoyed a lovely late lunch yesterday at Ali Baba. This was our first visit and we were not disappointed! The vibe inside is fun and eclectic! The food was fresh, colorful and full of flavor! We enjoyed nice pints of Wicked Weed's Fest Bier which was a perfect accompaniment. The staff and owner made us feel right at home and comfortable! Look forward to our next visit. Only wish we had walked through the doors earlier.

    Fresh, delicious gyro platter with lamb and chicken. Courteous, fast service. Lovely quiet lunch discovery on our trip home during the holidays.

    We ordered the Gyro chicken and lamb platter and the hummus platter. Both were incredible!!! Loved all the sauces, seasonings, olives, and extras. Pickled onions were delicious! Hubby also enjoyed a Turkish coffee. The vegetables were high quality and delicious! Lovely Mediterranean restaurant with friendly service.

    We visited Ali Baba today for the first time and are very impressed. Not only has it a great atmosphere but also awesome service and fantastic food. My wife and I had the gyro platter with lamb which was very delicious and my children had a gyro wrap also very delicious. The whole restaurant gives you an oriental feeling. The only thing I would change is the choice of music. I'd love to have some oriental music to it and a little more meat to the gyro platter. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.

    10/10 recommend this place! If you're looking for outstanding service and quick, delicious food - this is the place for you! The gyro platter is a great option for 2 people and everything is fantastic, especially the sweet drop peppers haha

    Love absolutely everything about this place!…read more I got the middle eastern plate with gyro and my friend got the beef shawarma plate and we both thoroughly enjoyed both. Super flavorful and the hummus was phenomenal. We also got their homemade lemonade and it was 10/10. Service was wonderful and everyone was so kind. There is plenty of seating indoors and they also have a market inside where you can buy snacks and other things. Note that this place is cash only. I didn't see an ATM inside either.

We stopped by on our way to ATL for an early lunch and to try this famous spot known for big and fresh flavor. We got there a bit before everything was available but we still opted for the beef plate with humus, vegetables, fresh potatoes bread and a salad. The pita bread was hot out of the oven and was amazing alone or wrapped around tender well seasoned beef and hummus. The gentlemen that took our order was so kind to answer all of our questions and tell us about the family business, and recommend mint tea and spices to try. He even gave us a dessert to try, cashew fingers! Very delicious and light. When we finished and started to leave, I pulled out a few dollars for a tip. The older gentleman stopped by the table and insisted we not leave a tip and was happy we enjoyed the food. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu and to say hello to this amazing family owned business.

The lady started friendly but seemed cold when I looked at iPad to review the bill. We ordered 2 sandwiches- 1 gyro and 1 shawarma. It CLEARLY on the menu says it comes with a side of fries, Greek salad, hummus, pita etc. Nowhere does it mention an up-charge for anything. I saw it said +$2.50 for each of the sides we asked for with the sandwich. I questioned this and she gave me a face like "how dare I question?" And just said "nothing is included with Sandwich, even fries". It literally contradicts what is on the menu! She said she'll tell her manager. Anyway- that was weird. Also, on the mixed grille it came with the tiniest pieces of pita, almost offensive, given the price. The entrance feels nicer for a take out place with the fake plants on the walls, but the back is closed off and the bathroom is dirty. Overall, I'd really only go for take out. And know they're cheap and will nickel and dime you.

Everything from Arabic music on the speakers to Arabic calligraphy on the wall. The music was a little loud for my taste though I am a fan of Arabic music so this isn't necessarily a criticism. The menu was humble but offered dishes anyone would recognize, from gyros to greek salads to baklava. Everything was made fresh. I decided to keep it simple and order a lamb gyro and fries. My sandwich tasted fresh but the lamb had the familiar taste of Kornos meat which common and mass-produced cones of lamb or beef/lamb. This product is by no means bad but to me more on the bland side. The fries were crinckle style. They were made to order but had some brown burn marks on them, which means they were likely pan-fried as opposed to being deep-fried in a basket . I often pan-fry french fries or frozen potatoes myself. Overall, the meal was good for a mid-day meal. Its not anything to write home about but Ive been a loyal patron to many such establishments. So if you're in the area and want something Mediterranean for breakfast or lunch, be sure to give this place a try, its worth it.

I went for a birthday meal and we enjoyed the experience all around. The food is fresh and flavorful with real Mediterranean influence you can tell the recipes are rooted in tradition and made with care. The menu has a great variety of Turkish, Greek, and Italian influenced dishes, from kebabs and mezze to hearty entrees, and everything we tried was seasoned well and beautifully presented. Service was lovely from start to finish. The staff was welcoming and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere feels comfortable and a bit elevated at the same time. It's a cozy place that works for a casual lunch, date night, or business dinner. One of the best parts of dining here is that Gastonia gets Mediterranean cuisine done well without having to go into Charlotte. Portions are generous and worth the price, and the wine and drink options pair nicely with the menu. Reservations are a good idea on weekend nights because it does get busy. I'd definitely return to try even more from the menu.

The ambiance is nice, slightly elevated, pretty quiet and cozy. I love the aesthetic and I love that it's not too noisy. Our waiter was friendly and comical and made our experience fun. There is plenty if parking behind the restaurant so no worries there either. Will definitely check this place out again and will bring friends!
