I don't usually write reviews for restaurants, but this place is something else. The food they serve tastes authentic and delicious. Never disappointed, definitely one of the best Mediterranean places on the island. Definitely recommend.

We’ve been to so many great Hookah Lounge but this is by far the best experience me and my lovely wife had. The hookah is extremely smooth, and the food was so good that we didn’t give it a chance to cool down. The atmosphere is very relaxing and more for the mature audience. The owner Muhammad and his wife are very nice and made this place very authentic. We will definitely be back again.

This place has the best food and the best service. The owners were attentive to all our needs. The atmosphere is relaxing and the hookah is the best. More places like this would be awesome. Especially when you want to get away from all the stress. Will definitely come back. Thank you Ali Baba!

The atmosphere is great. There service is extraordinary. The hookah is excellent and the food well where do I start. You will not get food prepared cooked and served as fresh as this place. They make you feel at home and welcomed. If you have a chance you should come see for your self and I promise you will have nothing but good things to say.

It is the best hookah place ever. They have a strong hookah mixed flavors. I love the decoration and the music. This place always takes me to a quick trip to Egypt. In a few words “ I feel like home “

Very relaxing and had nice Egyptian music. You really have to come at a certain time if you want that relaxing feel, otherwise on weekends the lounge has live music and belly dancers. Everything in the lounge is from Egypt including the hookahs. The owner is very nice and kind and knows how to take care of his patrons. I will definitely go back.

I really want to Thank this restaurant and it’s entire staff for being so nice and courteous. Me and my best friend called them to confirm if they are open and would serve food and they said yes on arrival around 1:15am we ordered the mix appetizer, which was absolutely delicious, shish tawok and shawarma sandwich along with fries. Extremely fresh and soo freaking tasty. Service was quick and on request we even got a slice of strawberry cheese cake which was just the prefect desert for my birthday dinner. We ordered two hookahs mango and apple and they were really good. Service was very quick and food was delicious 😋

A nice whole some place the owner is very welcoming and make sure everything is good! Seating and decor is beautiful. Love the Arabic music that plays. I would recommend coming here the hookah is good the food over all i would say coming here was a great choice i made

I stop by with my wife and she just loved the service the food and the atmosphere, ever since we went she can’t stop talking about going back so I had to send the owner Mohamed so I sent the owner a text message of appreciation Hi Mohamed Thank you so much for the wonderful invitation to your Restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic — we truly enjoyed every bite! My wife was especially impressed and is already looking forward to coming back again soon. We really appreciate your hospitality and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Very hospitable, good hookah, and even better food. Try the watermelon flavored hookah. :)

Honestly I love this place, best on the island because they aren’t blasting music. I come here with my friends once every month or so, we grab some hookahs and good burgers and chill. 9.5/10 I take the 0.5 bc I wish there were more than only Arabic songs playing but that’s probably because I don’t speak Arabic 😂

Small quite Cafe

Friendly and cozy

Chill experience, the service was great.

Pretty chill place.. I'd go back

Nice coffee and nice atmosphere

Shisha lounge in Staten island, place is filled with shisha smoke, food was ok, first tea pot was horrible but the waiter brought us another one on the house

Went here once, and it was not for me. I can't eat in a place where people are smoking . So I can't rate this place because I only stayed 30 minutes and took my order to go

Great hookah very friendly staff .Only thing they need is a beer and wine license.

The service was good, and so was the hookah. My only complaints was the prices. Paid almost $80 for 2 hookah (one with pineapple head) and 2 drinks. I understand it is New York but did not expect that much. However the staff was very friendly.

The lounge is good. A lot of sitting places, the couches are comfortable. The music isn't too loud. Big food and hookah menu: The food is pretty good - I had the meat shawarma. The knafeh was interesting, not as expected. Still tasty. Hookah was good. The tea is very strong. So if you don't like that, you should ask to make it lighter.

Ali Baba disappoints overall. The food is just average, service is poor, and the atmosphere is below expectations. Unfortunately, there's not much to recommend here - the experience fell short across the board. Look elsewhere for quality Middle Eastern cuisine.

Love going to hookah here Everyone is very friendly and the prices I feel are very food

Good

Nice place

Food was mediocre

They didn't have any food last time I went and they're pretty slow with service.

I will give it 2 🌟 for his food prices and how good it is I never tried to sit down there and have hookah so I won't judge that part . I just purchased food from him ×2 and I was not impressed at all . Beef Shawarma sandwiche $13.49 is basically 3 long slices of gyro meat With tomato and Lettuce that it you can't call that beef shawarma I'm sorry. The owner is a nice guy tho

Didnt like crowd

Horrible experience, terrible food! Will not be coming back! Stay away!!!!

Very bad service I want give this place 0

The food not good at all 👎👎👎👎👎

This is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in! For starter the service is bad, we waited for more than an hour to get our food and after we finally got it(after many trips to the casheir) it was raw food and unedible! I don't recommend eating here even if you are starving to death! Additional point, the place smells bad too

Respect is respect It never happened to me before if the table was reserved just put sign it's easy but you forced somebody to accept me on his table as child very weird

The service staff is terrible at communicating with customers I will never go to this place again. I don't recommend this place

my very first visit was absolutely horrible. they gave me very bad attitude Terrible customer service. Not recommend

Order take very long time, over one hour still not really, Manager doesn't care about guest waiting

No utensils when I ordered a they cook with their feet.

customer service is horrible here, they dont even know what that is. very rude people that only cater to the people they know. I would rather commute to a hookah spot in brooklyn than ever come here again. They do not check on you at all and are very cheap with their coals.

The is not middle easten food its a dog food the meat no good does not cooked right i ask for things and i did not got what i want they forgot my drink i called the restaurant i talked to a lady i told her about my drink and how the food is soo bad she said to me okay no problem and heng up the phone this is not the shawarma we know or we eat back home its a dog food i hope health department they go check there kitchen

I feel like most people giving this place good stars are just friends and family supporting the place. I mean that’s the only way I can make sense of it. Stay away from here and find another place to eat :)

Worst experience my wife and I ever had. We arrive and they take our order so far so good. We wait and about 15 min later two Egyptian men walk in, The waiter takes the order of the two men and now we're all waiting. The two Egyptian men received there food first and now it's an HOUR later still NO FOOD!!!!. My wife and I got up and left. Terrible service. Never going back.

Update your menus! Its a legit scam and it is illegal as it is false advertising. I came here with a friend and we ordered a bunch of appetizers, entrees, and drinks off the menu that they gave us. When we asked for the check at the end, each item on the bill was roughly $3 more expensive which cost us an extra $20-$25. Its just messed up when places do this. Somebody one day will get swindled by this place like we did and they will hopefully sue them to put an end to it. Definitely not coming back here!
