The setting itself feels authentic too as many Mediterranean restaurants feel like you're in someone's home. The issue that some might have is with service, they are friendly but it takes a bit to get things done. You have to bring your patience. Excellent food.

Ali Baba Grill Cafe/Istanbul Food Lovers on 550 Mary Esther Cut Off is a Mediterranean restaurant…read moreand it literally has the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! I ordered a pickup plate and I was blown away by the service. 1. They offer military discount! 2. They offered me some tea and a Turkish coffee complimentary during my wait! 3. They were kind enough to gift me a dessert! I was blown away by the generosity and the kindness of the associate. The inside is also very nice, lots of space for tables and lots of room for a family style meal. The food prices have increased a lot since the uploaded menu photos like on Google!!!! It's pretty pricey, but huge portions! I ordered a Shrimp Kabob Plate and subbed one of the kabobs for chicken. I also ordered an extra side of Tahini (not tzatziki) sauce. I will say the portion of the protein was not as much as I would like on first glance, but it was A LOT OF FOOD! The portion of the entire plate itself was huge. Two cups of rice, two salads, one huge pita, the meat proteins and one tzatziki sauce. I loved the pickled onions on the salad, so flavorful and delicious! Unfortunately, I was accidentally given two tzatziki sauces instead of an extra tahini, but accidents happen! No problem! I just LOVE garlic, so I felt like the flavors I was desiring was missing? Again, I love garlic lol. I think that the bread, when it came out was warm... got stale really fast? There were only 3 chicken pieces, but they were HUGE! I just think I need to explore more sauce options, because I felt like something was missing. But I still ate a TON and was satisfied after. I was really blown away by the customer service there. The associate, I'm not sure if he was the owner or not, but was extremely generous and kind! He was super friendly, had a smile on his face, and the small goodies really blew me away and made my day better. Thank you!

Worst food ever....DO NOT EAT HERE!

I had eaten here before and it has gone completely downhill, food basically inedible and not cheap. Service OK, but the food was sooooo bad, you are just wasting your money.. HORRIBLE, INEDIBLE, NOT EVEN WORTH THE GAS TO DRIVE THERE. NEGATIVE 5 STARS, but to post, had to give it 1 star. Ate there Sep 2026​

We never thought we would experience a slice of Bavaria on our trip to Fort Walton Beach, but here…read morewe are! Being in Bavaria just a few weeks ago, we were a bit hesitant about going here, but we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Weisswurst and Brezel with sweet mustard brought back memories of our recent trip. Our server was alone and was quite busy but she handled service easily. We had time to peruse the decor and again, it brought us back to our time overseas. Thank you for that. The weisswurst had great flavor and texture and the Brezel was hot, salty, and soft. My liter of Bier and my wife's glass of gewurztraminer made for a great light lunch for us. Our only "complaint" is that we live 12 hours from here, so getting back is a bit of a problem for us! Thank you for great food and a bit of Bavaria here along the Gulf of Mexico

Went for my birthday the restaurant has been there for years but had a nice makeover a while back,…read morevery nice atmosphere. Our waiter Justin was very good personable. We ordered a bottle of wine which took quite awhile to come out & there were only about 4 diners in the whole place. I had the seafood pasta in garlic sauce. It had lots of seafood, scallops, lobster & shrimp. It was quite tasty but the sauce didn't WOW me. Another in our party had fish lightly battered with crabmeat on top but no sauce, it looked a bit dry She ordered some hollandaise to over it separately. The pork chops Another in are party was tasty but a bit tough. They have an extensive wine list which was nice. My other only issue was it smelled a bit fishy & that was a bit off putting. It is on the higher end price wise but it was a special occasion so that was fine.
