The entrepreneuress was also the chef. Even though the place was quite busy, she took a moment to come out of the kitchen to say hello to us. Good food, and a pleasant atmosphere. This was the first visit for all of us. My son, the birthday boy, selected this place because it is located almost dead-center to all 3 drivers that day. I came to this website today, to see what time they open tomorrow, because my son and I want to go back there for an early lunch on our way to a 1pm commitment. They open at 11am... yay!

I've been here just once, but I was really impressed. There's a large menu with typical staples…read morelike gyros and burgers, but also some interesting items like a huge fried chicken sandwich, a Greek "quesadilla" made between two pitas, and (my favorite) a bowl that you can customize Chipotle-style with your choice of meats/rice/toppings/sauces. If you don't feel like a pita, you should absolutely try their bowls. The base is typically a flavorful, lightly-seasoned long grain rice, but you can skip the rice if you'd rather focus on lettuce/veggies. There are several different protein/meat options, such as gyros, chicken "yeero" (stacked boneless chicken which slow-cooks on a spit), falafel, and a few others. When your bowl is ready to be topped, they'll call you back for you to pick your toppings (nice assortment of veggies, pickled things, cheeses, and sauces). Then they top the bowl with a toasted pita. Not exactly low carb if you get both the pita and the rice, but it's so delicious. One of their featured items is called the Athens Chicken Sandwich. Kind of a confusing name, as it's a fried chicken breast dipped in buffalo sauce, topped with cole slaw and pickles. But the chicken itself was outstanding. Crispy, dark exterior but super juicy inside. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Their fries are hand-cut, fried when you order. I'm not the biggest fan of hand-cut fries, but these were great, and topped with a light seasoning (kinda curly-fry-ish). They also have greek fries, which looked interesting -- not just the typical feta and herbs, but also some sort of creamy sauce. I could dock them a star for being a little slow, but they're new, so I'll cut them some slack for the time being. The people in there with me who were just trying the gyros got served pretty quickly. But I had three things to my order and, instead of starting everything at once, the cook made things one-by-one. I ended up having to wait over 15 minutes for my takeout order. But I think they'll get into a groove here.

Absolutely delicious; a must try if you like fast casual, mediterranean food!…read more STAFF are crazy friendly, accommodating, and helpful if you are between dishes. Even if they do not write down your order (such as my son's chicken dinner plate), they'll remember and bring it out to you when it's ready. The FOOD is delicious. You can tell they carefully season and layer chicken and lamb on the vertical rotisserie, despite the efficient electric 'shaver' that they use to carve the meat. Contrary to Yelper Cheryl P's experience, our lamb was tender and tasty. Falafel was beautiful and has a solid crust on the outside (that their plasticware struggles to get through). You can't go wrong with the Loukoumades to conclude. Delish! One Yelper suggested this is a Middle East subway? A better categorization is fast casual as there is some cooking, customization, and table delivery. Yes there's a line with the sliced vegetables, prepared sauces, etc. In a traditional, sit-down restaurant, that's still happening (you just can't see into the kitchen). NOTE: I do agree with Yelper, Steve M., prices are higher than most. I would argue it's A) the quality of ingredients, B) the made to order dishes, and C) environmental packaging for bowls (...although the rest are styrofoam). Feels like the norm these days if you want a solid meal. Believe me, I do and Covo delivers.

The usual, salad, gyro meat and toppings. I do not think they get a lot of business as it was quiet when i was there during lunch and only one other customer on this day at least. The woman who took my order was nice. She even tried to make sure I didn't get the dried out meat by cutting a lot of the outside to get to better offerings but unfortunately, it was still at least half. So tried removing the dry pieces as I went which quickly got old. The garlic sauce was okay. A bit watery to me which diluted the flavor. I will say the feta was delicious.

The hummus was very good. They do have a small grill area in the back but there was no menu posted and it was unclear what was available or if the grill was even open at 4pm. As others have mentioned in reviews, this is not the most well-organized store and no one greeted me until I brought my items to the cashier. I would likely have gotten some chicken as well, but did not feel comfortable asking how the grill orders work or what was available given that no one tried to engage with me as a customer. It is hard not to compare Ali Baba to Alladin Pita and definitely feel like Alladin Pita is both a nicer market and a more friendly, professional business. That being said, Ali Baba is 20 minutes closer to me so I will likely be back again, hopefully next time someone will greet me and can explain to me how the grill menu works.

I love Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food so I thought this would be a good choice, not too heavy or greasy so my stomach wouldn't be upset on the road trip. I wanted to try the crispy chicken advertised on the website (and also on the banners around the location) but when I got inside, they said they didn't have any so that was one strike. I ended up getting the chicken Shawarma. I wish there was the couscous was seasoned the way they do the basmati rice because plain couscous is kind of disappointing. The amount of chicken I got was a complete joke! And I'm not even a huge meat eater but to give someone 1.5 cups of couscous and seven or eight sliver bites of chicken is crazy. I need some protein to stay satisfied so I asked for more and of course they charged me $4 for a few more slivers. Highway robbery! But anyway, the onions were really good and the chicken that I did get was seasoned though, but I could make this better at home for 4 people and the same price. Something told me to walk away when they said they didn't have the crispy chicken but I didn't listen so I ended up spending just under $20 for a bowl of couscous with a sprinkle of chicken and got charged extra for hummus I guess this was better on the road than going to Taco Bell?
