VERY SPECTACULAR !!! Ordered lamb gyros and a chicken over rice platter which was all DELICIOUS !! Also a side of hummus which was very good as well, along with three carrot-ginger-orange juices which were incredibly fresh. On top of that, we were given a few small cups to taste test a few other juices and smoothies, which were also all fresh and tasty. Overall fantastic experience and would come here again

Nice place with great people. And let's not forget the food. Enjoyed Lamb over rice and grabbed a fresh pomegranate juice on the way out. Can't wait for my next visit.

This is the best lamb my husband and I have ever had! It was so tender and fell right off the bone. So delicious!

This place has excellent falafel and rice. The smoothies are great also. My friend had the gyro meat over rice and loved it also. We will definitely be back. The staff is very friendly and it was fairly busy even at 11pm.

Wonderful falafel over rice meal! We go to Ali Baba at least once a week so I can get my falafels with rice. Its always so fresh, the rice is wonderfully spiced and buttery. The staff have all been pleasant. The meal usually makes 2 meals for me, which is a great deal. Always a good experience ❤️

Order takeout for a late evening meal. The mixed skewer meal came with a generous portion of very tasty yellow rice, a small portion of veg salad, and very tasty hummus. The chicken was white meat, but very moist add flavorful. The beef skewer was very flavorful, and had a nice charcoal flavor from the charcoal grill. The meat itself had a nice crisp exterior, but the meat inside was slightly drier as a result. The standout is the falafel. Absolutely get the Falafel if you come here. They make them fresh, and out of the fryer they are absolutely delicious. Make sure you ask for an extra portion of white sauce and hot sauce for the full complete falafel experience. Juice bar is legit. Fresh fruits everywhere. The mango pineapple and strawberry smoothie tasted fresh, delicious and refreshing. Would absolutely come back here again if I am in the area. Call ahead because they might get busy, and even if you call ahead prepare to wait as the food is made fresh when you order it.

Chicken shawarma sandwich is flame!! Made with traditional saaj bread. Excellent with some garlic sauce. Look forward to visit and try more items. Friendly service, reasonable prices and generous portions. I wish they would substitute their Pepsi products with something that isn’t boycotted.

The food and service here is incredible! My favorite dish that I highly recommend is the chicken over rice with the red and white sauce. All of the smoothies here are delicious too and my meal is never complete without one.

I would eat 100 times here. Best food in town. Their staff is well trained and knows how to cook Mediterranean. I tried smoky roasted chicken over rice💯

Outstanding service, very friendly and welcoming environment. Excellent food, probably the best falafel in Syracuse. Finally a proper cigar shop in the eastern suburbs. The establishment is very clean and easily accessible with a drive thru. They had me at "Breakfast Served All Day". Best falafels in Syracuse right now.

Dare I say their food tastes sooo close to my grandmother’s home cooked meals.. I love it here the brothers working are always so friendly and welcoming and the fact I can go any time of day or night to have the freshest food is amazing in Syracuse. Their smoothies, sandwiches, chicken wings, and rice plates speak for themselves the hardest part is trying to choose which to get this time.

Food was great, so much so I came back 3 nights in a row! Service was fantastic, a bit of a wait for the food a couple nights but it was worth the wait. Definitely 10/10 recommend! Will be returning when I'm back in town!

Three big standouts for this place: 1. The fresh juice bar! 2. The drive through! 3. Open 24/7!?! Those three things combined with really good food make this a must try place. I got the chicken Shawarma sandwich and decided to go back and try the meat pie. Both were awesome!

First time I visited it was Good. Everything was more than perfect. Made me want to return. Second time was garbage. Garbage service and Cold Garbage food. Had to reheat when I got home just not to waste money. Mainly rice nothing else on combo. Check your bag before you Leave!!!! Won't waste my money here again.

Very disappointed in Alibaba. Their prices went up but their portions went down. They’ve started putting less toppings on their bowls, 90% of my bowl is rice and salad and the chicken is not the same as before, it’s very chunky, tough, and not as seasoned now. One of the worst bowls I’ve had today from Alibaba. My sisters bowl had huge chicken pieces and it felt like chewing leather. They used to be so good i don’t know what happened.

Went in the trash .. Was told my order was $21.. never received me changE from $25... Barley speaks English.. I will never eat here again.... (Not to mention... The looks I got for walking in during Muslim prayer time...)

Watch the guy behind the register scratch his beard, handle money, play on his phone and scratch under his arm and never one change his gloves while making my food then go mad when I ask him to change his gloves. Food do not look appetizing it look old was going to give it to my dog but it’s saver in the trash.

Got $60 worth of food late at night on a weekend. Food was crappy and missing many key components. Might've just been a bad time to come here but the experience was awful and I will not come back. Ordered online and arrived up at the estimated pickup time. Still had to wait half an hour for food. Got 2 shawarmas, a burger, and 2 platters. The combo platter was relatively satisfying. But the lamb chops platter was just ridiculous. $20 for 3 super thin (1/4 inch) chops that were overcooked to oblivion. Both platters were missing salad, hummus, and white sauce. Burger was on a bagel (not a good one), and the meat inside was also thin and overcooked. Chicken shawarmas were good but plain because, like all food ordered, it was missing all vegetables for some reason. Had ordered basbwah but didn't receive it - received an extra combo platter in its stead. Not complaining... The extra food was welcome. Hope this place is better in the day time!
