	+ ------ + ''2009-07-26 19:41:18'' [[nbsp]] Recently decided to check this place out after many years living in Davis, and extremely happy and wish found it earlier! We don't go out to each much, but recently we've been going here about once a week. The daily specials are super good and their burgers are amazing! the bacon is incredible! The fries are awesome and seasoned with cinnamon and something else (anyone know what it is?), and thick cut. You only need to get the small fries for two people if you get other food, as the portions are really big. super chill staff, free drinks after 5pm, and good music on the ipod. great stuff and pretty cheap for students! --["Users/ADP"]

Oh and i love how they give you yogurt when you ask for it. hmmmmmmm. i havent tried their burgers, but im curious now! the prices are very reasonable. it may not seem so because the restaurant leans more toward being quaint than elegant. but the food speaks for itself. --["Users/chand3123k"]

- Also offering Mediterranean food (gyros, falafel, kebabs, dolmas,...) is ["Sam's Mediterranean"], which is just a block down the street. Both are very popular, but Ali Baba may get slightly more business due to its proximity to campus. However, because of this, your food generally comes out faster at Sam's. Because both restaurants are so close in quality and location, there seems to be a bit of a rivalry; some people swear by Sam's Mediterranean, others swear by Ali Baba, but most are just excited that we have two great Mediterranean joints so close to campus.	+ Also offering Mediterranean food (gyros, falafel, kebabs, dolmas,...) is ["Sam's Mediterranean"], which is just a block down the street.

- ------ - ''2006-01-09 12:12:21'' [[nbsp]] I've got mixed feelings about this place. Generally the food is pretty good, and inexpensive, and the staff (and regulars) are friendly enough. But it's rather dirty and in the last few months has been getting more so. A friend of mine caught a glimpse of the kitchen once and told me she couldn't bring herself to eat there afterwards. It's starting to smell more and more of old grease, and everything--floor, chairs, counter, doorhandles, table--is unpleasantly sticky to the touch. I'll probably still go there, but I wish they would clean it up a bit, but I haven't got the nerve to say anything. That goes for a number of Davis restaurants, as it happens. --["Users/NicholasCorwin"] - ------ - ''2006-01-26 18:40:30'' [[nbsp]] I can't believe that no one has mentioned Ali Baba's Spinach Special. It is served on Thursdays and is by far their best special. The spinach is stewed all day with chicken, giving the chicken a tenderness and flavor that is unmatched. If you like spinach, this dish is for you! I actually look forward to the occasional Thursday where I remember the special and indulge in this savory dish instead of some lame ass Co-Ho food. Yum! --["Users/SerenaDonovan"] - ------ - ''2006-03-09 15:01:14'' [[nbsp]] Ali Baba is the closest to authentic Persian cuisine I've ever had in Davis (aside from my mother's cooking). Sometimes they're a little slow on the order but the prices and quality of the food make up for it. --["Users/MikeAhmadi"] - ------ - ''2006-06-05 07:01:41'' [[nbsp]] We recently had Ali Baba prep food for 80 people. Darish, the owner, was really responsive via email as we worked out the details. On the day of the event a few items were not quite ready when I went to pick them up - rather than have me wait he ultimately delivered the remaining items to our event! The falafel, rice, pita, hummus etc that we ordered were a big hit. I definitely recommend Ali Baba. --["Users/JonathanKaplan"] - ------ - ''2006-08-01 18:41:22'' [[nbsp]] salmon burger if you're looking for a red meat but not vegetarian alternative. it's off the menu, but if you ask for it, they'll probably sell it to you. --["Users/EmilyTung"] - ------ - ''2006-10-03 21:51:58'' [[nbsp]] Though it was expensive, I tried their lamb sandwich for the first time and I thought it was quite wonderful. I don't think I'll be going in again for their meals, however, because of the semi-steep prices for what they serve. And it's true that they really do have the best onion rings in Davis. --["Users/JohnDudek"] - ------ - ''2006-10-29 16:03:43'' [[nbsp]] Closing at 9pm? Try 8:40 unless you want that terrible veggie special (how is it that Mediterranean food has no spice!). Also messed my veggie burger order once, luckily I'm not a vegetarian! Also, how bout' that re-decorating? They took everything down and painted it all white, they de-decorated! --["Users/AndyPastalaniec"] - ------ - ''2007-01-21 12:58:30'' [[nbsp]] I had their lamb sandwich awhile back and I agree with what John said! It's one of their best items on the menu! --["Users/CalvinCheng"] - ------ - ''2007-01-29 14:58:16'' [[nbsp]] I don't know about the hotness ratio dropping in recent times. There's still a girl who works there who is pretty seriously hot. --["Users/KenjiYamada"] - ------ - ''2007-03-11 15:17:47'' [[nbsp]] The food is mostly very good. burgers and fries are great along with most of the specials. the kebabs are often overcooked and chewy. service is good other than the owner who is usually bossy and unfriendly. they should also change the horrible radio station --["Users/SaraVaughn"] - ------ - ''2007-03-17 21:33:57'' [[nbsp]] The chicken burger here is very good! --["Users/LisaSands"] - ------ - ''2007-03-24 19:33:31'' [[nbsp]] I've had their hamburgers a couple of times. Quite good and semi-sizable. Their onion rings seem good too. --["Users/JosephBleckman"] - ------ - ''2007-05-02 20:39:32'' [[nbsp]] The specials!! Oh, the specials! I love the specials, especially the vegetarian one (which is available all the time) and the pomegranate w/chicken one. They are served with rice and yogurt. Since they are specials, they are already prepared and can be served right away, so they make a fantastic "to go" meal. The specials are so good that I haven't been able to try anything else. (Ok, there was a dolmas appetizer once, served with a tomato-ey sauce. It was OK). --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - ------ - ''2007-05-09 17:21:35'' [[nbsp]] I like the food here a lot. I get a bit frustrated when I phone in orders, a lot of times I end up waiting for longer then expected (they say it's ready in 15, it takes closer to 25 or 30 for example). Usually that's fine though. I just ordered using their online order system, trying it out. Pretty smooth and easy to use so far! --["Users/EdWins"] - * Updated: So I drove over, and my order wasn't ready. They have a fax machine, and I guess the online order is faxed over. I told the cook about my order, and he turns and grabs the paper (my order) from the fax machine, '''just''' noticing it. He apologized and was very nice about it, he's normally in the back so I see how he could have missed it. I wish there had been someone up in the front paying attention, it was almost dinnertime on a weekday. I ended up walking around the streets for 20 minutes waiting for my food to be cooked. The online form had a 'comment' section for special requests: I had asked for very little mayo, and it was kinda slathered on pretty thick, but since he was in a bit of a rush, he probably didn't note it. (Then again, after messing up the first time...) I ended up using the online ordering again later, it was pretty convenient when ordering for multiple people, but I learned to call in and make sure they noticed the fax as well as the special requests. -["Users/EdWins" ES] - ------ - ''2007-05-15 19:15:38'' [[nbsp]] The cheeseburger I had this afternoon was DELICIOUS. I now know where to go if I want a homemade burger, because it's a LOT better than Redrum, In N' Out or anything I could get at another sit down place. It tastes like something my mom makes! --["Users/ChristyMarsden"] - ------ - ''2007-05-15 20:49:42'' [[nbsp]] I tried the lamb sandwich for the first time this past weekend. It's actually more like a gyro with lamb meat. It was huge and messy and very good. I would order it again. --["Users/AlexPomeranz"] - ------ - ''2007-06-09 20:36:00'' [[nbsp]] The burgers are good and I rather like the aggie special, but every time I've ordered something else here, it has been disgusting. They put mayo on your burger without asking you about it, sometimes they put it on even when you ask not to have it. Then they generally look rather annoyed when you ask for a new bun. --["Users/AmyGoogenspa"] - ------ - ''2007-07-26 21:47:00'' [[nbsp]] I'd rate the food is good but the wait for the food was horrible (at least I know they started cooking when I ordered it and that I had friends to chat with while we were waiting). If you know what you want, order ahead. --["Users/atwong"] - ------ - ''2007-08-23 14:03:19'' [[nbsp]] The Thursday special is hella good. Spinach with chicken (also very good without the chicken) over basmati rice. It seems to be steeped in some kind of oil and spices. It pretty much makes my week. The burgers would be super awesome if they were made a little faster, but you can't really expect a good burger to be cooked in 5 seconds (unless you're at McDonald's and feel like eating a turd sandwich). --["Users/BrianMac"] - ------ - ''2007-09-01 17:12:27'' [[nbsp]] agree that the specials are awesome, i think ali baba's has the best onion rings in town --["Users/CM"] - ------ - ''2007-10-11 01:39:12'' [[nbsp]] For a burger and fries, Ali Baba is a far better choice than ["Habit Burger"], though I haven't tried their lunch specials, they too look quite delicious. For Gyros, it is cheaper than Sam's or Cafe Med. but Sam's is a better dish, not to say the gyros are bad or not worth the price, I never mind eating here with friends as they have enough of a variety that it generally suits everyone's tastes. They also have Tahdigh (sp?), which is a delicious crust of rice literally from the bottom of the pan (so it is full of greasy goodness), which I tend to like with stew, but I have yet to get that. Their Hummos isn't worth it probably.. I dunno, it just seems a bit over priced, but then again, it is always over priced, at least the pitas are good, it could also be a bit cleaner, it has a sort of hole-in-the-wall atmosphere about it, and the bakalava is a bit dry. --["Users/DavidPoole"] - ------ - ''2007-11-16 07:59:15'' [[nbsp]] I used to eat here alot. However their chicken in their specials doesn't taste fresh... I can't stomach it any more. --["Users/AnnieSirrah"] - ------ - ''2007-11-16 12:57:03'' [[nbsp]] I love this place. I go here several times a month. Daily specials are really good, as are the burgers an gyros. I think I ate here 3 times a week over the summer.Kebabs take a little while to cook (15-20 mins) but its a huge portion and well worth the 6 or 7 dollars. I'd definitely eat here or at Sam's over habit or in-n-out supporting small businesses. --["Users/GregMediati"] - ------ - ''2007-12-12 00:58:52'' [[nbsp]] The Daily Specials are great for when you want a mess of healthy, hot food on the run. Takes 5 mins or less, costs $5.92, and you get a big styrofoam tray of rice and a tub of hot food (potato curry, pomegranate chicken, etc.) You can bring the food wherever you're going and share with friends for a snack, or eat it all yourself for a meal. Does anyone have all the daily specials to post? I didn't know about the Thursday spinach special, but I love oily herby cooked spinach. --["Users/TedBuehler"] - ------ - ''2007-12-19 19:46:15'' [[nbsp]] GREAT MUSHROOM BURGERS!!! --["Users/thelonepiper555"]

- ''2004-11-15 21:56:20'' [[nbsp]] I went to Al Baba's the other day and ordered a Veggie Mushroom Cheese Burger and they gave me a couple strips of Bacon. I took a bite and lets just say, not only do I keep kosher but I've been a vegetarian for over eight years. I waited for another burger and I barely got an apology. They seemed pissed off about me saying they messed up my order. They have great food when they make it right but when I fuck up a customers order I offer them something extra to make it up to them. Basically they should have given me some fries. - ["Users/RobRoy"] - * ''RobRoy, email me and I'll comp your food next time you come in. My email is [[mailto(darish AT gmail DOT com)]].'' - ------ - ''2005-03-07 00:59:15'' [[nbsp]] I think Ali Baba's is actually the best food value in town. All there food is restaurant quality, but at fast food prices. Their burgers are awesome. Their daily specials are excellent. They also tend to have this group of guys who play backgammon in the afternoon around 2, and they're absolutely hilarious. --["Users/JaimeRaba"] - ------ - ''2005-03-07 01:20:06'' [[nbsp]] It might appear strange to order a burger in a Middle Eastern restaurant, but its definitely worth it. Their bacon mushroom cheeseburger is arguably the best burger in town. Their daily specials are very tasty too. The fesenjan special has been sweetened for the American palate, and offers a flavorful mixture of pomegranate and walnuts. --["Users/CraigBrozinsky"] - ------ - ''2005-05-17 21:01:15'' [[nbsp]] when i went here the food was very good, but the service was very slow (they had to grill new chicken kabobs to order, which is ok by me). however, they were out of hummus. the only thing that bothered me about the slow service was that when i changed the order from the hummus to baba ganoush, they brought the babaganoush dip out at the same time as my meal. at least 30 min after i ordered it. they should have gave me the baba ganoush while i waited for them to grill up the chicken. (this not only would have kept me very happy, since the babagonoush was amazing, but it also would have been at no extra effort to them, because all babagonoush is, is a dip made fresh in the morning and scooped onto a plate when you order it). it makes no sense that they would wait for the whole order to finish and then serve the dip, especially when one of the people working there was sitting watching TV. but overall because the food was good, and because they are close to campus I'm definitely going to at least try it a few more times, to see if the service was just a fluke. --["Users/Matthh"] - ------ - ''2005-05-26 13:19:19'' [[nbsp]] its alright for a quick bite. the last time i went in there the guy working the counter and the guys playing backgammon were so busy ogling girls that it was kinda uncomfortable in there. food is alright, but not great --["Users/AshleyOrsaba"] - ----- - absolutely the best burgers in town, and their gyros kick ass. i live a couple houses down from Ali baba and eat there at least once a week. the fesenjan is excellent too. the kabobs take extra time to make, but they generally warn you of that when you order. and, even though it sounds strange, their burritos are great. i love this place. --["Users/EllenWoodall"] - ------ - ''2005-06-13 18:26:05'' [[nbsp]] Good food. Feta cheese burger == good. Burger patties on the thin side. --["Users/GeorgeLewis"] - ------ - ''2005-08-13 11:22:53'' [[nbsp]] The burgers are excellent. The gyro's are good, though I like Sam's gyros better. The fesenjan is pretty tasty, inexpensive, and more than I can eat. --["Users/AlexPomeranz"] - ------ - ''2005-08-14 21:02:42''[[nbsp]] Great fries. Not shoestring, but wide-style. Little plastic seal-able containers to fill with ketchup & hot sauce if you're on the go. Also, they now carry Mancunian soft drink "Vimto," which is awesome.--["Users/ErikNoftle"] - ------ - ''2005-08-26 18:04:27'' [[nbsp]] The burger was absolutely amazing!

They prepare their filafel pieces a little differently though, and I actually prefer Ali Baba's version. Not bad for $5. Plus they have a buy 10 get one free card.

I needed a platter of different finger foods in a short amount of time. After patiently spending some minutes discussing the options with me, the on-site owner worked out a great platter of various vegetarian and non-vegetarian options at a decent price. About 15 minutes later, the entire thing was ready to go. The platter (which consisted of various kebabs, dolmas, falafel, etc) was a hit and was completely consumed over the course of the night. --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"]

Currently, the menu is exactly the same as before, although it may be expanded in the future. It was renovated in late November/early December 2008. The walls have been painted bright colors, the floor has been redone, there are new (and much nicer) tables and chairs, and there are new menu signs over the counter. The exterior was redone, too. Those that like the hole-in-the-wall look will miss the old decor, but it's hard not to see this as a drastic improvement in ambiance.

The rice could use some taste, but the meat was grilled fairly well - very slightly overcooked, but excellent nonetheless because of how juicy it was. The service is good. Some dishes you have to wait for 10-15 minutes but that's to be expected for food like that. The guy at the counter is very nice.

It is absolutley the best place for Persian food (im persian) other than my dad. Highly recommend the Fesenjun, which is Friday's special. It's this pomegranate walnut sauce with chicken. To die for.

Both are very popular, but Ali Baba may get slightly more business due to its proximity to campus. However, because of this, your food generally comes out faster at Sam's.

Takes 5 mins or less, costs $5.92, and you get a big styrofoam tray of rice and a tub of hot food (potato curry, pomegranate chicken, etc.) You can bring the food wherever you're going and share with friends for a snack, or eat it all yourself for a meal. Does anyone have all the daily specials to post? I didn't know about the Thursday spinach special, but I love oily herby cooked spinach. --["Users/TedBuehler"]

I think I ate here 3 times a week over the summer.Kebabs take a little while to cook (15-20 mins) but its a huge portion and well worth the 6 or 7 dollars. I'd definitely eat here or at Sam's over habit or in-n-out supporting small businesses. --["Users/GregMediati"]

- * Updated: So I drove over, and my order wasn't ready. They have a fax machine, and I guess the online order is faxed over. I told the cook about my order, and he turns and grabs the paper (my order) just noticing it. He apologized and was very nice about it, he's normally in the back so I see how he could have missed it. I ended up walking around for 20 minutes waiting for it. Under the comment section I had asked for very little mayo, and it was kinda slathered on, but since he was in a bit of a rush, he prolly didn't note it. I'll still use the online order again, it was convenient versus laying out a large order over the phone, but next time I'll call in to make sure they got the fax. -["EdWins" ES]	+ * Updated: So I drove over, and my order wasn't ready. They have a fax machine, and I guess the online order is faxed over. I told the cook about my order, and he turns and grabs the paper (my order) from the fax machine, '''just''' noticing it. He apologized and was very nice about it, he's normally in the back so I see how he could have missed it. I wish there had been someone up in the front paying attention, it was almost dinnertime on a weekday. I ended up walking around the streets for 20 minutes waiting for my food to be cooked. The online form had a 'comment' section for special requests: I had asked for very little mayo, and it was kinda slathered on pretty thick, but since he was in a bit of a rush, he probably didn't note it. (Then again, after messing up the first time...) I ended up using the online ordering again later, it was pretty convenient when ordering for multiple people, but I learned to call in and make sure they noticed the fax as well as the special requests. -["EdWins" ES]

	+ ------ + ''2007-10-11 01:39:12'' [[nbsp]] For a burger and fries, Ali Baba is a far better choice than ["Habit Burger"], though I haven't tried their lunch specials, they too look quite delicious. For Gyros, it is cheaper than Sam's or Cafe Med. but Sam's is a better dish, not to say the gyros are bad or not worth the price, I never mind eating here with friends as they have enough of a variety that it generally suits everyone's tastes. They also have Tahdigh (sp?), which is a delicious crust of rice literally from the bottom of the pan (so it is full of greasy goodness), which I tend to like with stew, but I have yet to get that. Their Hummos isn't worth it probably.. I dunno, it just seems a bit over priced, but then again, it is always over priced, at least the pitas are good, it could also be a bit cleaner, it has a sort of hole-in-the-wall atmosphere about it, and the bakalava is a bit dry. --["Users/DavidPoole"]
