Amazing place to eat

Always fresh and a very good taste!!

Nice

just the portion size getting small according to the price also the food taste awwfull i was here 2 weeks in a row . food taste tasteless the chicken was dry i didn t get at all why my wrap was wrapped in 2 different wraps its taste awwfull

Good taste worth your money

Vegan friendly place . Stuff is very pleasant and accommodating Vegetarian options: Falafel saj wrap and fries with hummus, vegetables, hot sauce ..

Anyone who says anything bad about this place is lying its legit the best Ali babas in the city and I plan my flights home based on their hours lol

It was ok but food not to great

Very good service and friendly staff

Never go there . They r greedy . I ignored reviews and went to have wrap. They charged 2.64$ for water bottle only. The Lady is too rude also.

Best Shawarma place

Pathetic shawarma...dont order ..ugly taste and breads just melted in 2 min..bad quality of bread

Easily the best shwarma in TO!!

The beef shawarma is great.

Food was very good

Best chicken shawrama wrap and garlic potatoes I ever had

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step at the main door, which opens and there is another set of doors to open, so it would be hard for people with a wheelchair...unfortunately...but there is always someone willing to help Food

Good food . Great service all the time. Kudos

Good food and atmosphere

Best food and service

Worst food. Do not order. They do not follow instructions when ordering from uber eats

I wasnt ever there ali baba

Always good here

The beef sandwich is overpriced and low quality beef, hard to chew like plastic. I didnt try the chicken but beef is bad. Friendly staff.

Always AMAZING! My family loves this place. We travel down from Barrie just for this!

Litreally the best shawarma in GTA, I love how they have the fresh veggies and cleanliness.

Food is good..soft rice and chicken shawarma

Very nice place. Variety of healthy foods Vegetarian options: Choose as you like, in front of you Parking: Easy on and off from Rexdale blvd

Great

So pleasantly surprised by how this turned out. Wasnt expecting much because of the outside, but a wall of delicious aroma hit me as soon as I entered, got really well made felafels and got friendly service. Definitely the best Ali Babas Ive been to.

Thé staff are warm and friendly. The food is fresh and always delicious. Not fast food. Wholesome and healthy

Just missed my 5 star rating

DIARRHEA!!! Got food poisoning from this place, my stomach is still cramping in pain for the past 12 hours from their mishandled shawarma, Very upsetting, disgusted and disappointed!

Descent place, good service and reasonably priced. Seating arrangements need improvement.

Food is always fresh!

The lamb shank is top tier

Food taste ok. Service ok

The place is visibly dirty and the food was terrible

Ok

Finally a Middle Eastern restaurant that carries whole wheat pita & brown rice. The server was excellent & very nice.

Great food and staff!!!

Dont bother coming here

It was okay rice weren t fresh

The chef is a stand-up guy

Tried chicken shawarma platter. Food is tasty, but the place feels so old-fashioned.

Habibti piles it on. Everything is mudhhil- awesome. Must go place for sure:)

Ordered chicken shawarma, was not at all good.! It was too bland and smelled weird

Very expensive, basic food. Food arrived cold.

My go to place for getting a chicken shawarma wrap everyday! It s so good and all the staff is super nice and friendly, especially the girl. Thank you!

The owner is always so nice, when i come get food, plus their chicken shawarma is 100%. Get the spicy and garlic bbq sauce. Parking: 20 Kid-friendliness:

very very testy food. love the chicken shawarma platter Vegetarian options: very Food : 5/5 |

Good job keep it up thanks

Delicious halal food

Love the fresh food and service

We stopped by to avoid being hungry, thats all.

Food is good and super tasty. No doubt at all.. But Every time I go there with a big order such as 3-4 shawarma platter plus 1-2 wraps as well as soup and salads. The owner always tell me at the please call and order ahead of time. But every time you call they don t follow instructions and just make it whatever. Cause you are not there in person. So what to do. I guess go else where So now I have decided to go to the one on Kipling by 409. If others having the same problem and have been told the same. Then trust me it s not worth your time, money, energy and good feeling about enjoy your lunch during you work day. When you are being told what to do either then keeping up with the customers.

Flies everywhere

They charge extra for spoiled feta, disgusting. They don t answer when you call so don t waste your time here. If you drive by this location just keep pushing the gas.

Food is as usual as delicious.

Authentic shawarma and excellent customer service

The crispiest falafel! And the lentil rice is so flavourful. Quick and delicious!

RUDE STAFF UNHYGIENIC ENVIRONMENT DONT GO THERE

Best falafel around. The staff is really friendly and food is always top notch.

Always the best

Bloor West location. I ordered food through a 3rd party as I usually do. The guy didnt seem to know what I was coming to collect as door was locked. He told me i should have come before 11 although the app said 11:30. First time there and my LAST. Tonight was a HUGE disappointment. My order consisted of greasy soggy rice and a childs portion (for an adult) of a chicken skewer which was as dry as bone. I threw it in the garbage. I swear the guy scooped it from out of the food waste bin since he went to the back to fill the container.

best ali babas ive had. i get the falafel wraps every tuesday. they re very nice to me and its always good.

Great food, but its cold inside the day we went. Good for takeout.

My favorite ali Gs in the gta

Food was dry, not at all fresh! Threw out most of it. Not going back.

The crazy wrap with the crazy wrap sauce

Highly Recommended!!! The lady over the cash counter was so polite to all customers. Definitely visiting again:)

Nice staff. But food quality is not so good. Need more improvements.

Friendly staff, huge portions, delicious food. 10/10

I used to eat here multiple times per week, but the portions have become much smaller lately. Still decent food, but the value just isnt there

Quality and Quantity for sure. Tempted to get a little of everything Everytime!!!

Super delicious shawarma and falafel!

Very good service, always very nice and are very generous with their portion sizes!

Middle eastern quisine. tried almost everything here, including fish roll. Quiet good, friendly employees.

The food is good...however their menu has one price and they charge a higher price without asking. I think they should change the price on their menu before charging a higher price.....BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE

My purchase a few days ago was not that good the chicken in the shawarma was really dry and hard. Quite a surprise for me.

Good staff.

The worst place to eat. Very very rude. Zero customer service Instead of treating customers in a good manner they choose very rude way. No need to argue, talk loud or scream, very simple just correct your mistakes and make real children shawarma. the business owner should check yesterday s the video how the younger one act and treat the customer.

I was waiting in the line, but cashier ignored me and started serving others. I asked for beef shawarma, cashier offered beef and chicken mixed, as beef was running out. I again asked beef only. Guess what? The wraps were full of vegitable and very less beef. Always had wonderful experience at this location, but not this time, cuz the cashier was lousy.

Very good place! Highly recommended

It was 9:45pm and they close at 10:30pm. But they were out of stuff and salads. Had to add potatoes which had been sitting for a while and were too salty.

Great Chicken Shawarma Plates and they have different specials daily.

The food is great but the Girl ( wearing Glasses ) is not . her shawarmas are like taco size - very less filing all she is bothered about is speed- no standard portion control I ordered a platter - same thing - meat was little to none- i think she puts the meat as per her wish and mood . sometime she will directly cut meat from the grill and serve you without putting on the hot plate and cutting into small pieces . sometimes she will charge you for more than the board reads and give explanation she is doing a job here and the price list she doesnt decide. no complaints with other staff and the way they make shawarma- except this girl. . also she comes across as rude to speak to - hope the owners read this and train her.

It was a good shawarma cleaning was very bad

The best Alibaba restaurant so far: lots of parking, cozy/spacious/clean dining area, friend/pleasant servers, and most importantly, quantity is genenous.

Falafel Sandwiche Review. Being a vegetarian I only get a falafel sandwich and when it comes to a falafel sandwich it is always a fight between this place and Sams Pita on Derry road. Both places are exactly 7 min in opposite directions from my work. This one edged out the other as they ALWAYS fry the falafel patty fresh when you order it. It takes a little time but it is always fresh, hot & juicy. Other falafel places serve patties that were cooked in the morning and are dry and taste like sawdust by the time later afternoon / evening comes around. Their veggies are also fresh and have a good variety. Highly recommend this location and Ali Baba in general.

Please if you want to eat food and you are hungry do not come to this place i came home and my stomach still wiggiling dont recommend

I decided to give Ali Baba s another try (the first time was a letdown) and gave the fish platter a go. I m glad I went with this dish because it was quite good! It was seasoned white fish filet marinated in lemon, garlic, cilantro and various spices. It s served with a basic salad, hummus, tahini sauce and hot sauce (the sauce is actually quite mild). I added a side of garlic potatoes. The whole thing was a nice medley of flavours. A nice tangy side from the tahini sauce and the turnips, a more neutral side from the hummus and the spices and hot sauce balanced it all together. The fish was tender and had flavour and the rice was quite good in the sense that it was night and day different compared to bland steamed white rice. Overall, I highly recommend this menu item.

Absolutely delicious, fast service and friendly staff.

Nice place to be, the food is great and delicious and the paring is awesome I will encourage you to visit this place.

I tried garlic potatoes and it was amazing. Its a must try item especially for vegetarian people.

I love this place. Really good sharwmas and baklava

It was the worse experience in my entire life. I took 3 sambosa with 3 different flavors, meat, chicken and vegetables all it was old even bad smell, like it was leftover from last night, not keep even properly in the fridge. I will never ever go there, even if I die from hunger. Even Street cat wont eat this food. I wish I could give -1 star.

Always delicious! Always great service!

Great food, Great platter, delicious food Large portion Nice staff.

Went to grab food for some visitors I was having over. The gentlemen working that day were great and gave excellent service. My visitors very much enjoyed the food! Thank you!

Great food.

Love it

Good food, courteous , efficient staff.

Food is good and usually there is no or just a small line up. They do a good job and are local. The last time I went there was my best experience at Ali Baba. My beef wrap was perfect and I didnt even have to ask for napkins.

Fresh spread, tasty meal, excellent portions, good service and great price. What else can you ask for?

Mediocre shawarma. The lady working last night had no patience or interest in making shawarma.

I love this place. The staff are friendly, the food excellent, and the service is outstanding.

Food was a bit expensive but so worth it. Everything tasted great, and came pretty fast.

Best alibabas I have been to they cut the chicken right off the spit they dont put it in containers and let it dry out like most places best wrap Ive had in a long time.

Horrible customer service. I won t be coming back.

Delicious falafel sharwama. Courteous staff

So expensive place. Vegetarian options: Even poutine is not vegetarian. Food : 3/5 |

The arab lady behind the counter is so sweet gave me a free falafel lol nice place and good food

Not bad but just a average fastfood place to go if you need to get something to eat. Service was not bad but not good either.

Stall is so amazing food is so good but the atmosphere is not the best sorry it needs help

Terrible customer service, the Arab girl working today looked like she had no interest working there

Good food

Great restaurant and excellent service.

One of the best Falafel place. They really know their stuff

The servers dont cover their nose when wearing their masks. I dont go there anymore

Great portions and excellent quality.

Ordered a chicken platter and they completely forgot to the put the chicken in it. I m not surprised they made the mistake given how understaffed they always are every time I ve come in.

What the hell happened to this place? The meals were disgusting! I am shocked how badly this place has declined from what I remember it to be! Chicken platter had grit and cartilage with negligible amount of chicken pieces, which was reheated and then burned with a salt level so high you could preserve the chicken for eternity.

Looks very dirty inside. Friendly staff.

Taste is average.

Decent food. Good staff. Interior looks super dated and questionable. Ali Babas downtown Toronto is a lot better

So yummyyyyyy

I m not a regular, but I always enjoy the food when I do get it from here. Service is quick and friendly, prices are reasonable, restaurant is clean and seating is plentiful (when COVID decides to go away). They offer free wifi as well. They work with you to give you the meal you,d like and I have never had an issue with substitutions. My only issue is I work nights and sometimes don t get here in time to get a meal. Oh, why only 4/5 stars then? Well nothing is perfect and there is always something to improve. Getting in and out of the location is hampered by the busy street it s on. Making a right out of the driveway is easier than making a left. Picky? Sure. But there it is.

The portion size, quality of food, friendliness of staff, hygiene and how late it is open, qualifies it for a 5 star review. A definite must for people looking for great Mediterranean cuisine.

I ordered two chicken shawarma wraps and the chicken in the wrap was not good. I hadnt visited this location in a couple years and the food was always good but this time the meat was unbeatable, we had to throw the second wrap out. I hope this was only a bad batch but if it happens again, unfortunately that would be my last time.

10/10...

Food and service are great..The place is due for an upgrade, inside out

Great lamb shank

Friendly service providers.

Everything was great, we tried some things a la carte, we could order whatever we waned how we wanted, staff was great and put up with all our questions about the cuisine with a smile. Wife discovered a carrots mango juice she has been searching for, from out of town, but will revisit whenever we can.
