    The best hummus in town

    I've been eating here for years. Their pita and hummus is the best in town. I also love their falafel sandwich. Their drink selection is phenomenal, as well. Quick service and very nice owners...

    Very good food at a reasonable price! Try the burger or steak in a sack. This place has been around a long time and is always very good!

    Yummo!!!

    Ali Baba has amazing food, even if the setting is less than picturesque. Sounds weird, but my favorite is the cauliflower wrap and the salad. I LOVE their dressing! Plus, you can buy groceries, produce, and meat there - great quality and reasonably priced. This...More
