Ali Baba's Middle Eastern Cuisine in North York

By far the BEST shawarma location in the city. Been coming here for over 10 years and they never cease to disappoint. Thank you for the service and fresh food

Worker decided to go home an hour early tonight , I get that it s slow and you want to go home but it s a restaurant chain. He locked the doors and didn t let anyone in .

Good customer service

Fariha was a very good person. Love it

It s been 5 years I m going alibaba and the lady name Fariha she served me best food all the time must recommend

Best shawarma in town!

Delicious shawarma farwiha s service is highly appreciated she is kind and professional in her hospitality Highly recommended Food

Slow

Nice and good guy , astaad aa meri id

Busy spot but the staff got through everyone quickly. The food has always been good at this location.

Beef Shawarma plate hit the spot.Better than pitaland.

Their food is awesome and their customer service is really good.

Great food and friendly staff. I love their lentil soup . The absolute best.

2 stars for serive food was stale not fresh at all my stomach got upset

Awesome staff and great food!

Great food and stuff

Good quality food and amazing service.

Delicious food, hard-working staff and very good prices. I look forward to going back.

I come here all the time the guy is always super helpful I got the shawarma poutine was really good

Most delicious shawarma

Amazing food

Was okay . Will go back if Im in the area. Had a mixed shawarma Food

The food is well cooked and I enjoy it every time

The guy working at the register a W man, he gave me extra sauce.

Ok food nothing crazy used to be better. I don t go there anymore they even raised the prices by a bit and cut the amount . I go to fantastic shawarma at finchdale now much much better , cheaper and larger portions . Not to mention there falafels are the best I ve ever tried . Al baba had decent falafels but i find it blan now .

Great food, very clean, great service

At least put timing for student deals .. Rude behaviour of front girl..

I ordered here off Uber Eats. The food was good but the portion size was way too small.

Good food here quality customer service from the ladys

I ordered via Uber eats due to their bogo offer for Chicken schawarma plate. In all I paid $27 for two plates after the offer and I was not happy with the quantity of food I got, the portion of food was not enough for 2 people. I could ve easily got 2 good sized plate of schawarma from anywhere in Toronto for like $30-$33 so I kind of feel cheated to make me believe I m getting one plate free! Gave it 2 stars as the food was Ok.

I like they triangle things

I got the beef shawarma plate. The taste was good but the portion for the price was small.

Good food

I love chicken shawarma platter. Everything is delicious and the portions are big enough to enjoy your meal. Good luck! Parking: Available any time

This location is the best

Great service and the tastiest shawarma:)

Good service. Grab and go. Good prices

Get the most shawarma for your money here. They also have day of the week deals to save you even more money.

Executive and best place to get shawarma. There chicken shawarma and beef are best. Still I can feel yeast in my mouth. I will go agin

Every time I come here the food is always fresh and so delicious! Abdul the owner is so welcoming and friendly. I def recommend a shawarma plate or any dish from here, youll def enjoy it.

Their salad is the bomb and the shawarma.

Tasty food and friendly service #poutine

I had food from this place before which was average. However today i ordered after a while and Fariha did an exceptional job. I loved the amazing taste. Thanks again ,Fariha.

Been here a few times they advertise that they close at 10pm 7 days a week Ive come like 3 times as early as 8pm and the doors are always locked and theyre doing their closing duties. Seems like a poor business plan to lie to potential customers.

Really darn good. You honestly cant best their daily specials.

The wrap was large and tasted great.

Luv the food.

Terrible place for customer service, food is decent if you are hungry.

Beautiful

Very fresh and prices are reasonable. I especially like the Shish Tawook.

Good service

Great place amazing food

This is the best Ali Babas so far soo good , thank you for your excellent in food and service.

Very good taste fresh everything my kids love the rice

Bad customer service.

Says they close at 10 , and yet I was there at 9:40 with the staff closing the door . I d understand if I came at 9:59 or something . But I was there 20 mins before closing . If your going to close at 9:40 please put your closing time at 9:40 not 10 . I travelled 20 mins to get there on time and you guys closed early . Will not be going back again

Fresh food even the closing time. Good customer services

Good value, great taste. Had chicken shawarma.

good food good service....keep it up guys

nice food fair price

Amazing shawarmas!

Try them,they do nice beef and chicken.

Very tasty food at a good price

Fresh everything just love it

Love this place. Best food in Weston/finch

One of the best places to buy chicken shawarma wraps or falafel. Their chicken and beef samosas are so tasty.

Great

Best option if you are looking for something healthy and fullfilling. Moreover their prices are so genuine! I had chicken shawarma wrap from here, all ingredients were super fresh and chicken was superlicious.

food was rly good and the people were rly nice:)

The customer service needs improvement. I bought a Shawma and the chicken smelled so bad that I couldnt eat it.

Tasty and well seasoned shawarma

I love their shaurma wraps!

I go to this location with my boyfriend every few months and will go back for as long as its around. Chicken shawarma is my usual order but I did try the fish wrap once and it was just as amazing. I was going to give this 4 stars, Id like to give it 4.5... but thought with the consistent delivery of quality, I could bump it up to 5. Ive had shawarma slightly more suited to my personal taste before, but this place has the flavour profile my bf enjoys most

Best chicken shawarma Ive had..

Fresh and fast middle eastern. Also very economical delivery via skip the dishes as we are close by

I took 2 platter.. was disgusted to find hook of threads inside rice..

I ordered through Uber eats and the food was subpar and missing items. I was charged for soup they forgot to block as sold out. I eat all the time at the Rexdale location and downtown. Great food, why was this location so bad?

Tasty Chick shawarma wrap, but smaller compared with my previous visits. Place was not busy considering the still ongoing COVID-19 issue. Inside the store the place was ok clean wise. PS: if you read this, please stay safe and wear a face mask in order not to spread COVID-19.

Ordered 2 chicken shawarmas. Best shawarmas around! Hands down worth the drive farther east compared to everywhere else. An actual middle eastern shawarma. Came out to 14 bucks! Good if you have a budget and they don t cheap out on the toppings or the chicken!

Received the absolute best customer service from Abdul. He is extremely courteous and polite. Whenever I go to other restaurants I dont receive this type of treatment. He cares also about the quality of the food and takes extreme care when serving the food. Will definitely be coming back to this location at Finch and Weston. Thanks Abdul!!

The manager abdul is amazing and the food is fantastic. We go here all the time and always receive excellent service!

Excellent experience here today!! Tasty. Hearty and filling. I got 3 Shawarmas all for myself. The sever there was all by her self and she still gave me excellent service!! Thank you!!

Amazing vibes and girls are super friendly and welcoming. The menu is fresh and enchanting. Better than Rexdale branch for sure.. best Halal place around that area.. Will clearly recomment this restaurant to anyone. Convenient rates and generous meals. Keep it up folks

Good service, tasty food at affordable prices

Ordered beef shawarma plate from this location for the first time and the beef was over cooked and burned!!!. Unacceptable!!! Paid over $15 including a drink

Original taste of shawarma which I have eaten in Dubai excellent service to highly recommend specially for doctors and paramedics staff because these guys have good hygienic stuff

The food is amazing. I get the shawarma every time I get a chance, one of the best in the city. And the people that work there are always so nice.

Nice

Because of the name I went over there but food is soo bad very disappointed

Nice place,delicious food and excellent customer service

Amazing food and even better customer service

Great food and great service! Enjoy the experience every time. The chicken shawarma is the best in town!

Great felafel special. For 6.99 for 2 sandwich

I had lunch catered from this location for approximately 18 people. The turnaround time to get this done and the service was exceptional! The feedback from lunch was great by colleagues! A very tasty and affordable lunch option!!

So good

I placed an order on Ubereats the wrong order was put in the bag. Uber refunded me but said it wasnt their policy to provide me with the correct order I would have to pay again to get my order(highway robbery I know). I called this store and spoke to a gentleman I advised him they placed the wrong order in the bag, given that I dont drive I still need my lunch. I work in an industrial area and everything is a drive away. I told the least he could do is bring it to me. He lied and said he was the only one in store and hung up. I then had to pay $8 in ubers to go and get my correct order. Low and behold theres another employee there who proceeds to tell me shes not Uber Eats( really I couldnt tell with your Alibabas uniform on). They wouldnt comp me my travelling expenses which is the least they could do. Long story short not ordering or buying from this location ever and Ive deleted Ubereats.

I love love the falafel special on Thursday it is truly delicious, worth the money

Ordered on Skip the dishes. The food was horrible,I ordered a chicken wrap with fries.More than half the chicken was burnt,to the point of no return. I asked for no radish in my wrap,I got tones of that in there. Asked for extra sauce,the wrap was so dry it had little to no sauce at all in it. The fries were gross,I had 3 and couldnt eat anymore. Definitely old fries and old oil. Complete waste of money. Tried to call the store and maybe they could do something and my call wouldnt go through.

Great prices and delicious food. For a fast food joint this is amazing.

its ok, not the best but itll do on days where your lazy to cook dinner.

pretty bomb shawarma...the chicken is very delicious. good service n the nice specials

Best shawarma wrap...

Decent shawarma and falafal. Good prices.

Ordered shawarma ( 2 for 1). There was barely any meat in it and mostly just salad. They charge you $14 for 2 tiny little shawarmas!! Its totally not worth it. Avoid if you can. Will never go there again.

The best Middle Eastern food I may have ever tried! I have eaten a fair share of Arab food here and in Germany, and my husband as well, he was reluctant at first, but the food 100% exceeded his expectations and yet we ordered a vegetarian plate too! It was simply delicious, both the wrap and the plate were amazing and we so wish we didnt live so far or we would certainly come back often!!!

Daily special are good price and much quantity

Good shawarma spot

No wait-time, always get special deal of the day, food is great, overall no complaints one of those reliable food places to grab a quick bite

Nice place and healthy food staffs very friendly absolutely we coming again

Food is amazing! Service welcoming i like it ....

Okay Middle Eastern fast food

Everything Good

Great

Terific prices for great fresh and tasty value. Ive been a customer for over 3 years. Staff are trained, polite and make a great final product. You cant beat their buck/value combination.

Was very pleasant. Nice staff tasty food fast service great prices

Excellent shawarma Genuine taste

Good food love it

Excellent experience tasty food and staff was very nice and calm

Very low food quality and staff need better training on how to deal with customers. Its also over priced for what you get. Not returning here

Everytime I come the manager Abdul and worker freya and raja are some of the most up standing employees. Im always handled with class and receive the best quality of food. Sometimes even tasters of products I havent tried.... highly recommended to friends !!! Thank you always

Good flavorful wraps

Very very bad experience. We are regular customers. And when we reached today at 9.20 p.m. they locked the door and wouldnt even open the door for us. They wanted to wrap up and leave 40 mins before closing. Pathetic service!!!

Im outside the store now. Store timings say Sunday until 10pm. Its 9:30pm now and the store staff wont even open the door to me. They ignored my knocks and just continued chatting amongst themselves. Unbelievable service.

alibaba nic place gud beef and chiken grt in price strongly recommended

I have been coming here for Shwarma for 2 years now and have been consistently met with great food and friendly servers. Fariha and Abdul rehman have been serving me a long time and consistently give great food and service with great customer service. They are bed rocks of the finch community and I hope they keep serving us superb shawarmas for a long a time.

Went on a Friday, food was great. Just the customer service wasn t. The girls didn t even was their hands after touching the money

Awesome food! Just ate the chicken swarma combo and LOVED IT! I could eat this food EVERYDAY!

Good please and veriy friendly people nice food

Chicken is great there. Had the plate with lentil rice. It was real good/tasty.

Very low quantity.Chicken shwarma wrap they give me for $8 was very small like a baby meal.if you want extra chicken its $4 more.

great food

great food at low ptices!

Great food and service

Very good chicken shawarma wrap

Always fresh, and amazing staff !

Halal. Opens on Sunday until 9pm.

They false advertise their platters. It does not come with what it says it does. When you ask them about it they tell you to pay extra from what it says is included in your meal. The food wasn t great, tasted very stale like it was sitting their all day. Will never order from here again and will not recommend it to anyone

Amazing food

I usually buy from this place because of good portion sizes. However, the server was quite stingy this time around , and the food tasted bland. Spent almost 25 dollars when the portions were not even quite filling. Only 2 pieces of potatoe wedges were served. Usually, they add 5 wedges or more, and they serve the rice in plenty! Not going to come back again. Plenty more shawarma places to try. Geez, I feel like I have been ripped off.

Clean store, not like other ali baba outlets. Food was also great.

Service is great at this location, food is always amazing !!! We usually get it to go and its still perfect by the time we get home. I would recommend eating here if you like middle eastern food, one of the best middle eastern foods in the area!!!

Good experience

Chicken with mix rice was very tasty. I am coming back for more.

Falafel is over priced and look nothing like a Lebanese sandwich; however the lady has welcomed us with a smile at closing time.

Great food great people

Good flavor, attention and price, freshness in their products.

DO NOT EAT HERE! THE PLACE IS INFESTED WITH COCKROACHES.....AND THEY ACTED LIKE IT WASNT A PROBLEM. SAYING THAT WE SHOULD STILL BUY THE FOOD. I WOULD GIVE THEM ZERO STARS...IF POSSIBLE.

This restaurant says theyre open UNTIL 11pm on friday night when I called the at 10pm amd asked if they do delivery she said no and hung up the phone. I got to the restaurant at 10:15pm and the stupid lady already closed the door and wouldnt even come say sorry. Trash customer service with trash food never will order from this place again.

Staff is super friendly and usually very fast at getting your food to you.

Great rice with lentils, and their chicken was really good too, quality pieces even though there was alot of construction in the area the food was definitely worth it and customer service was good too.

The lady that helped me was super friendly and did a fantastic job. The beef and chicken shawerma also tasted delicious.

Good

I really enjoy the food!
