    Fresh Basil Dining Room
    Marc K.

    This place has great food IN SPITE OF ITSELF. The chicken skewers appetizer was incredible. The calzone I had was fresh and HUGE. My son had baked ziti and that was also excellent. The food was great - the service was casual. Very casual - which was fine because the waiter competent and there when we needed him. The attitude of the staff might be read as not caring but they were. Our waiter did a great job. Finally, the only bad thing was that the bathroom was not particularly clean. Given the close proximity to the kitchen this was not great. All in all go for the food. Hopefully the owners will start to realize what they have. To look at the place you wouldn't think it is as good as it is. 4 stars because the food was that good.

    Delicious!!!

    We were heading south from a trip and needed a place for dinner. We searched Yelp and found Fresh Basil. We are so happy we stopped. Personal 10" cheese pie for only $4.99 that tastes yummy. Eggplant rolotini for $9.99 that was great! We also had a meat lovers Stromboli that my son said was delicious. The waiter was polite too. We were almost the only ones in there but it was a Thursday night. I feel like this place is a diamond in the rough. It is easy to get to but not very noticeable.

    We stopped in off the thruway and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious (and fast!) pizza and attentive service.

    I was very disappointed with my burger. Flat, tasteless, and tough as hell. I felt like I was eating a school burger!

It's a build-your-own, line-style setup, and when we arrived there was a good line of people--which is usually a good sign. My friend JD picked the place, so I let him go first and watched how it worked. I ended up getting a bowl with falafel and just loaded it up. I chose salad instead of a full bed of rice, with just a little rice added. By the time we were done building it, my bowl was so full I could barely close the lid and that's exactly how I like it. The food was fresh, healthy, and flavorful. The staff were very friendly and patient while we made our choices. If I lived in this area, this would absolutely be one of my go-to spots for a regular meal: healthy, fresh, nice atmosphere, and good people behind the counter. Easy 5 stars for Lafa

The place is clean with many options for seats, and I was lucky enough to snag a table outside. I got the Street Corn Falafel wrap and if you order it in person you can watch them create the wrap right in front of you on the saj they have. There are so many toppings to choose from, but I definitely recommend the crunchy pita chips, cucumbers, and tzatziki. They also usually have some tasty lemonades! It's a solid place to have a tasty lunch or dinner, and take out is a popular choice here as well!

Traveling within about 5 minutes on the way to visit a good friend, and it happened to be right around lunch time, the opportunity finally came. It's a casual place, lots of 2 and 4 top tables, but what caught my eye when we went in was the cooler full of amazing side options. Then you look up and there's a beautiful oven and a dough station. This is looking great. We sat and ordered lamb kebab and doner kebab. A couple minutes later, a large (~11x17?) wooden tray appeared with a piping hot lavash bread and a plate of dill yogurt sauce. If the meal had stopped there, I would have been a happy camper. We had just had a few pieces when the kebab arrived, each with a pepper, tomato, some red cabbage, and onion. Both meats were authentic and delicious. My favorite way to eat my doner was with a bit of the bread, a bit of the dill sauce, some onion and cabbage, and a bunch of meat - a mini gyro, if you will. We took away about 1/3 of the generous portions and ordered a large mixed plate (all 10 of the sides) and baklava to take to our friend. It's a bit of a drive for us, but any time we're anywhere close, we're going to be back for sit down (if it's mealtime) or takeaway if it's not. I highly recommend you do the same.

The place feels much more modern and inviting now. Our family especially enjoys the beyti kebab, the güveç, and their pide. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but since their pide is very good, I imagine the pizza would also be solid. For me though, the real highlight at Alibaba is the mezze. In Turkish cuisine, grilled meats and kebabs are almost always enjoyed with a variety of mezze. They might technically be sides, but they're a big part of the whole experience. These days there are several Turkish kebab places in the area, but none of them offer a wide selection of fresh, house-made mezze like Alibaba does. At many places you're lucky if you find one or two options, often just a basic ezme. At Alibaba you'll find around ten different mezze and each one tastes distinct and freshly made. Every time I tell myself I'll just take a little... and somehow I end up filling a big mezze plate. Honestly, even when we grill at home, our motivation is picking up mezze from Alibaba to go with it. I'm not sure if it gets the credit it deserves, but don't skip the mezze here -- you'd be missing out. In fact, start with the mezze and figure out the rest later :))
