    Hummus with Meat (beef)
    Ryan P.

    Wow! Where do I start? From the moment my wife and I walked into the restaurant tonight, we were immediately greeted by Lina. She was warm and welcoming and allowed us to choose a table (versus a booth). We sat down and looked over the menu. We already knew we wanted the Hummus with Meat to start. Our server was Ranzy and when she greeted us, we felt like family. After brief introductions, we decided to start with the Hummus with Beef and an order of their Falafel. These items arrived quickly and looked perfect! These were accompanied with a basket of fresh pita bread. Soft and delicious, the pita was an excellent vessel to transport the Hummus and beef to our mouths Ranzy brought us a complimentary order of their fattoush! This was a highlight because of the bright fresh taste from the first bite to the last!! Fresh garden salad, tomato, scallion, cucumber, radish, sumac, lemon, pomegranate molasses. My wife ordered a mint yogurt drink. Usually we call it "doog" but Ranzy informed us that the Iraqis call it "shanina" or "aryan". It's her favorite! I ordered a Rieme French blood orange sparkling water. Tasty! For our entree, we ordered a Chef's Mixed Grill Combo Plate (for two)! So amazing! Arrived on a huge platter with Biriyani rice, grilled vegetables, and three skewers of meat: lamb, beef & chicken kebabs. There was so much food leftover! Portions are generous and tasted amazing! We finished off the meal with an assortment of fresh baklava Both Lina and Ranzy worked together to ensure our meal was complete and satisfactory! These two ladies were top notch and we highly recommend them and this restaurant!

    Free lunch event 4/19/26 from 12-3pm

    One of my YELP friend "Amy C." Shared a post of Baba Ali Grill Free Lunch event on April 19th from 12-3pm. I decided to check it out with my husband "Marcel T." Today... We got there as fast as we could from Temecula to Murrieta at 11:55am. A LINE formed but, it was not as long as we thought it would be. However, the event was out doors so we were burning up from the heat standing in the sun but it's all worth it and let me tell you why my friends... THE FOOD WAS SO DELICIOUS!!! THE RESTAURANT IS SPACIOUS & BEAUTIFUL!!!! CHICKEN TAWOOK & KAFTA WITH RICE: 10/10 I loved everything about this dish. The rice tasted so fresh and clean. The salad gave it a nice compliment of acidity. I couldn't decide which meat I liked more because both the chicken and beef were delicious! And the garlic yogurt sauce was excellent like the icing on a cake. BRAVO CHEF!!! Me and my husband were the only 2 ASIANS standing in line and everyone did not make us feel strange instead everyone was so KIND, WARM & WELCOMING. I truly love the food, culture and music of TURKEY. I actually have a QANUN that I miss playing in a while... THE OWNER MR. BABA ALI was so kind, humble and showed how caring and passionate he was for his restaurant and market next door. He also introduced us to his lovely wife. They are both very friendly and a nice hardworking couple. I will definitely be back soon and I will bring my YELP friends too... GREAT FOOD, CULTURE & BUSINESSES are definitely worth supporting!!! THERE'S PLENTY OF PARKING... We are so LUCKY to have this gem BABA ALI GRILL which is also HALAL in our neighborhood... DEAR FRIENDS you must try and visit THE BABA ALI GRILL!!!!!

    Food was amazing. Lady at the market next door, recommended I tried the Mansaf, since they don't make it often but they are today and it's not on the menu, but they said it wouldn't be ready till later. So I decided to try their lamb chops and hummus. So glad I did! Everything was delicious. I did come back several hours later to get the Mansaf and it was so worth it! I'm addicted to this dish. So much food for the price and I got it all to myself since no one in my family eats lamb but me. The lady working was very kind and friendly. The place was pretty spacious and nicely decorated. I'll definitely be back.

    Hummus and baba ganoush

    So incredible! The service, atmosphere and food is all amazing. They clearly use the highest quality ingredients and everything is reasonable for the prices. 100 percent recommended.

    Chicken shawarma family meal

    We're so happy to have a new local Mediterranean restaurant! The food quality was excellent, and the meat hummus was absolutely on point. The customer service was also fantastic. And a special shoutout to the pita bread--it was the fluffiest I've ever had and so delicious! We'll definitely be coming back.

    Average food and over $30 for for barely any meat and a pile of rice. Robbery. 4 tiny pieces of chicken and steak. Pathetic they charge this amount for such small portions of flavorless food. Go to Kan Saman down the street. Much cheaper, larger portions and better quality. Avoid this place.

    Soo fresh and delicious!…read more I've been eating so much junk food lately so just had a need to eat something healthy, hoping it would be delicious too, ohhh my gosh, it was. I binged on a YouTube channel where this guy made Arabic food. He had a video of him making hummus. Well, of course, I started craving hummus and pita after that. I ordered a gyro plate and salad. It also came with some hummus that wasn't listed on their menu so it was a happy surprise. I also ordered hummus and it was as creamy as the one on YouTube looked. All so yummy, well spiced and totally delicious. Because I ordered it delivered I didn't see what the place looked like inside. I plan to go there though so will update then. .

    We were looking for a Mediterranean place, and I'm so glad we chose Al-Reef!…read more We ordered: -Greek salad with chicken kebab -Greek salad with beef kebab -Gyro sandwich (comes with crinkle cut fries!) -2 orders of hummus Everything was DELICIOUS! Portions were generous, and prices are extremely reasonable! The gyro was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed the tzatziki on it. All sandwiches come with fries, and they were not only crinkle cut but also fried perfectly. They were still crispy even as a take out order! The flavor of the Greek salad was savory, tangy, and refreshing. The hummus was also *chef's kiss*. We were more than satisfied with our order! We phoned in our order, and it was ready in 15 minutes. The owner was so sweet and attentive! He noticed we were missing our hummus and pita and made sure we got it before finishing up packing our order. Please do you and your tastebuds a favor and try Al-Reef. I just wish we lived closer!

I started with the lentil soup, which was rich and comforting, then moved on to an appetizer combo of falafel, kibbeh, and lahme bajin. Everything was delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the molasses on top of the kibbeh and would've loved a bit more tahini, but even then it was still excellent and hardly worth complaining about. I also ordered the chicken kebab plate, and I have to say, the salad dressing was simple yet easily one of the best I've had in a long time. The rice tasted like true homemade, family-style cooking, which I really appreciated. And the lahme bajin? So good that I ordered six more to go. Absolutely worth a visit.

Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona. But I am selling my short-term vacation rental in Temecula Wine Country and I don't have any food there because it's not my home. So I found this restaurant through the bubba review. I shall eat here as long as I stay in Temecula the service is warm and welcoming and the food is very satisfying. The portion of the lamb shank and rice was generous so that I save half of it in my own takeout box to have for another dinner with a pita bread. Looking forward to the leftovers. some men win I read the one-star review of no remember Alejandra was my wonderful server, checked up me often

    I tried them for the first time on Saturday the 2nd of April (2026)…read more It was during an unscheduled stop in Murrieta and I usually go to Papa Feta in Temecula, one town over but decided to give this place a try and was not disappointed. We ordered: Chicken Mantar ($21): It comprised of sauteed Chicken with Mushrooms, Onions cooked in a Garlic sauce. It came with rice and was very flavorful. Eggplant Musakka ($23): This Eggplant dish was prepared in a Tomato sauce with fall off the bone Lamb shank and some garlic sauce. Accompanied with rice, it was also excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The only setback was that the food took almost 30 minutes to be served but the restaurant was fully packed. Service was also top notch. I would definitely be going back there again.

The lunch buffet is consistently high quality, serving Northern‑style Indian dishes that are incredibly flavorful and infused with aromatic spices. It's also very reasonably priced and honestly one of the best deals in town when you consider the excellent food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. The buffet menu changes often, which keeps things fun. Some of our personal favorites include the juicy tandoori and Lasuni chicken, tikka masala, coconut curry chicken, and definitely the goat curry. The side dishes are just as delicious -- like the daal, aloo, and spinach paneer -- and the hot, fresh garlic naan brought directly to your table is always a highlight.
