Ali Baba Mediterranean cuisine is so delicious!!!!! The food was seasoned to the taste of perfection, I couldn’t believe how many delicious and different entrées they had. It was endless, and I wanted to get a taste of everything . My girlfriends and I meet there to engage in laughter, good food, and great memories, and that’s exactly what we got!!!!! When you walk in, you first meet the handsome hosts and cashiers Jorge and Brandon, and they are very friendly and helpful they set the tone for a great time.. I didn’t get the beautiful young lady’s name who was cleaning the tables and making sure the areas of the dining room stayed clean, but I did get her pic with Brandon.. Thank you, Ali Baba, for a great time and delicious food you made our day!!!! We will be back!!!!!!

What a pleasant surprise this place was for me! Can’t believe I haven’t heard of this place sooner. Lunchtime buffet is excellent, the place gets packed around then for a good reason! Food is delicious, everything is fresh and hot and expertly prepared. Huge variety of Mediterranean dishes to choose from, can’t wait to go back and explore some new choices!

Well. All other reviews look like they are paid. This place is overrated. Even on weekends there are no quality food. Over crowded. No air conditioning. Kitchen is in open space if dining area, so the place is too humid and hot. Kind of fry sauna effect. Not sure if county agreed to allow that many customers inside at a time. All the tables were booked. Also the roof is not sealed or looked like the place is burned.

My family and i were there to try their lunch buffet and we enjoyed the food. The buffet had good selection of meat, veggies, and fruit. Very good service at a reasonable price with drinks being included.

Went with several friends from church, and it was great! Maybe the best experience I’ve had at a Mediterranean buffet in Dallas so far. I think I like it better than Dimassi and Andalous. One of the main reasons I have to say is because of the feta cheese rolls. They are one of my favorite Mediterranean appetizers and they were on point here. The rest of the food and meats were good and they had rice pudding as dessert, which was pretty good. It was $25 for lunch ($20 on a weekday) I think which is pricey but enjoyed the quality for a buffet. Would definitely come again!

The food here is amazing! LOVE the lunch buffet! Price is $20 (weekday) pp which includes a variety of salads, fruits, and side sauces offered. At the fpod section you can find saffron chicken, saffron rice, roasted cauliflower, sautees veggies and an assortment of other dishes…all delicious! Leave room for the Rice Pudding!! It’s to DIE FOR . Buffet price does include your drink. Buffet runs from open-2:30 pm.

I don’t know about y’all but Everyone ñeeds to come here. The last time I was here was over 10yrs ago. Don’t know why I haven’t gone back sense. I remember the Garlic sauce was outstanding. . It was the best went with a great friend Mr Kennicklle. Had a plate full of humus and sauses to dip in.. Everything was wonderful . The only thing I didn’t like was the chicken curry. The taste was nasty to me. Don’t get me wrong I love curry cbut this wasn’t splattin (like those your kids say.

We’ve been regular customers of Ali Baba since they were on lower Greenville Ave in an 8 or 9 table restaurant and standing room only. The wait would often exceed 2 hrs, but it was so well worth the time. I believed in them so much I did their original website in 2000-ish when they moved to Preston @ Frankford.

Just tried Ali Baba Mediterranean and what a great experience! They have a wide variety of food to choose from and everything was delicious! The thing that made it especially memorable and will definitely bring me back was the friendly staff. My colleague and I caught a late lunch there and brought our laptops with us to get some work done. We arrived at 2p and left at 4p. Little did we know, they close from 2:30-5p, but didn’t find this out until we were leaving and saw that we were the only ones in the place. .we were absolutely amazed that they never approached us about leaving nor made us feel like a bother. Thank you to the mgmt & staff for showing such classy service. I highly recommend Ali Baba to everyone!
