I ate Gyro, Falafel and Greek Salad there. They were all fresh, tasty and make you full in one order. Fevzi is a great chef, very friendly and kind. Good place for lunch. read more

Amazing service and great food. The ambiance is what will make you feel like you are really there. Simply put, a great meal while strolling.

The best lunch in Downtown Atlanta.....get the Gyro with the Falafel And thank me later. Jo and the owners are so nice....

The food is insanely greasy to the point the to go containers were leaking everywhere. Would highly recommend you try another spot for Mediterranean food. read more

I wanted to like this place. Placed an order online and arrived 45 minutes later. It was not busy at all and the one guy working had not started my order. Now the food. I ordered the chicken doner combo.... was not what i was expecting. Maybe I misread it but pictured it being the spinning chicken sliced off the rotisserie. Instead they chopped some pita as the bed.. then pulled chicken out of a metal container that was wet and dripping and put it on the pita and soggy. it looked gross on preparation but i prepaid so i decided to try it. Ate a few bites and started getting stomah ache. Do not reccomend. read more

Soooo... I am sad to leave a 3* as no doubt the food is probably good. The problem is that you ruin the flavor of everything when all of the salads are piled on top of each other. I can't tell the tabouli from three bean or anything else. Unfortunately it's one of my favorites. I was looking forward to it, by the way. Everything is mixed together, except for fruit and hummus. The falafel hurts my feelings as it wants to be good but seems a lil over cooked and cold. I'm sorry. Please separate the salads into containers. Please!!! read more

Ali Baba - Ali Baba platter Fruit Salad Tabouli Three Beans Salad Hummus and Pita Ezme Salad and Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Service was great, the man working was so kind. Ambiance kind of threw me off, no common pattern. Food was ok, gyro meat was delicious, but the pita was kind of stale and dry. Will most likely be returning. read more

Ive had many a gyro but none as great as Ali Baba. The Ali Baba Gyro is bursting with the best gyro meat I have ever had. From the tzatziki to the pita to the hot sauce it was all great. There are not many neighborhoods better than Five Points in Atlanta and this is one of its gems. read more

I was looking for a legit Mediterranean restaurant and I found one. I was greeted and it was explained how to order. I decided on the gyro lamb salad. And the portion was HUGE. My side was humus and warm flat bread. I was going to leave but was drawn into the eating area. It looked like I was in another country. The decor was like being on vacation. I definitely recommend this as a get away lunch spot. read more

Ali Baba - Gyro Lamb Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I chose this place based on reviews. It's definitely a hole in the wall. The owner was helpful and attentive. The lamb and rice were very oily. The true flavor was masked by the heaping serving of tzatziki (?). The combination wasn't bad, but I would have asked for the sauce on the side if I knew it was a part of the dish. The baba ghanoush was good. The dolama were ok. I have definitely had better and would not choose to return to this establishment. read more

The food is good. The female cashier was rude and hostile. If we hadn't been prior and had a great experience I would not have purchased anything. She was not the warm welcoming greeting we would expect from an empty restaurant on a busy street. I could understand completely why people choose to dine elsewhere. read more

I believe I know my Medertanian food very well and I must tell you all..... Ali Baba is da bomb! Lol..... I got the Lamb Gyro combo with Medertanian pasta/ feta cheese & Greek salad! I got all of this for $16.00 plus tax. Chef Ahmet and Manager Jojo made a killer lunch for myself and had to get a box to take half of it home. Mmmmm- yummy! read more

Ali Baba - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

An amazing hole-in-the-wall place with extraordinary vegetarian and veggie options. The $14 Mediterranean platter is absolutely massive. It comes with a pita, dolma, falafel, bean salad, tabouli, greens salad, ezme (a bell pepper / tomatoey sauce), hummus, baba ghanoush, and feta pasta salad. It is so big that 3 people could split it as a MEAL. Almost everything tasted yummy and flavorful and healthy. I wasn't a fan of the pasta salad but otherwise loved the humungous portions and variety of options. I would absolutely come back here again. The baklava (doesn't seem made in store) was very soggy and syrupy so would skip. The man at the counter was very kind and generous. Seating is in another room with comfortable pillows and benches. Very cozy. read more

Ali Baba - Falafal Wrap Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was in Atlanta for a couple days, staying near Little Five Points. Friday night I took a trip to the Mediterranean from Ali Baba. I picked up a large, delicious bowl of perfectly spiced and marinated lamb, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and feta in yellow rice from the restaurant. Huge pools of Babaganush and hummus were on the side to drop the lamb in. Combined, this was such a special, local dinner treat! And definitely large enough portions of deliciousness for at least two people! If you're local to Atlanta, this place should be on your order list on at least a monthly basis. read more

Ali Baba - Lamb bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Killer little dive with challenging parking but the Falafel is LEGIT. Crispy outer shell and soft on the inside with nice mild leaning spices inside. The Hummus is coarse ground with intermittent whole chickpeas within. One of my fave Hummus so far in ATL. The lamb Gyros were delicious and fresh, not dry. Make no mistake, this is a dive, and you are served on Styrofoam plates with plastic ware, but the Food is the BOMB. Great for a quick dip for grub when you want it fast and ON POINT. GO for it !!! read more

We came here for lunch today and it was not very crowded at all. There was a hand written note on the door asking anyone who enters to wear a mask. There was one employee and he was doing it all. Cooking, cleaning, ringing you up. He was so friendly. During the time we were there, they had a few to-go orders and any other party got in line behind us. The menu is on the main board and they have certain items they make, but not everyday, that are in the glass display. You have to look and they are labeled. One such example were dolmades, which we got. I also got the lamb gyro combo, which included a side and soda from the fountain machine. Water cups are also next to the machine. We ate in the adjacent room, which was cozy and eclectically decorated. It was a good, quick meal! read more

Food is fast, fresh and delicious. Facility is not much to look at. Simple benches with low tables in the dining room and a tiny outdoor patio, possibly shared with the coffee shop next door, smoker friendly. I loved the herbs in the salad. Falafel, gyro, and baklava there is spot on and affordable! read more

I stopped here for lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised! The downtown ATL location may look like a hole in the wall, but the food was BOMB! I got the spicy yellow rice plate with lamb and the babaganush with pita, falafel, and the grape leaves. I wasn't a fan of the grape leaves, but everything else was delicious! I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Always incredible. I've been dining here for years. The food is always fresh and consistently delicious. Service with a smile every time. Wonderful place and great food. Highly recommend. Please be kind to them! P.s. my only complaint is they still use styrofoam takeout boxes and clearly there are more sustainable options. read more

Ali Baba always hooks it up with the freshest ingredients and volume of food! Always a pleasant experience with the folks in there. Recommend the falafel wrap read more

Good stuff. Nice people. Great location. Fun times. Huge portions. Will return. Thanks!!!

Delicious, authentic Mediterranean food and awesome service!! The owner was generous enough to talk about his life and how he got into cooking Mediterranean food. I mentioned that I had been over to their downtown location on so many occasions and he gave us a complimentary baklava and thanked us for our business. All around some of the best desserts and falafel I've ever had. And I loved the hole-in-the-wall setting. I could hang out in their dining room with friends for hours. read more

Ali Baba - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I wish I could review the food, which I was excited to try, but I didn't get that far because of the "service." I'm a Greek-American, and in Mediterranean restaurants in Greece and The States, places that serve wraps usually also serve French fries. I saw "combo" on the menu and asked if I could have a falafel wrap with fries, and instead of just telling me that they don't serve fries, the lady behind the counter shouted at me like I'm new to restaurants in general, "WE SERVE MEDI-TERR-AN-EAN FOOD. HEAL-THY FOOD." After I said that I'd think about it because I was craving fries--and might return after checking the menu next door--I stepped out, and she continued talking (loudly, of course) about how ridiculous my question was. Feeling unwelcome in a Mediterranean restaurant as someone whose family *is* Mediterranean is...something! I didn't feel welcome and won't be trying again. read more

Rude and not customer service oriented. I will never go back. There are thousands of restaurants in atl to choose from, so I don't understand why a restaurant customer service would be so bad. read more

Fan-tastic!!! I ordered just about one of everything since it was our first time !! Even better than we hoped for ... We've been trying a lot of the Mediterranean in the area ... This was the best .. I recommend the Baba ghanouj ... Smoky and tart !! Think Fresh read more

There are not enough good things I could say about this place. 1. The service. The guy working was alone and he was taking orders, running around, being very kind and efficient AND making the best wraps I've ever seen. 2. The food was INCREDIBLE. I will absolutely be coming back to try everything on the menu. 3. As we were leaving, he came out to our table and gave us dessert!! Just for fun! (Also best baklava I've ever had) You MUST try Ali Baba. What a neat hole in the wall. read more

This place is delicious! I love it. The food is awesome for fast greek/ turkish food. I love spanakopita and falafel and theirs is GREAT! The gyro is abundant, the baba ghanoush and hummus is always super fresh. The tzatziki and lemon greek dressing is perfect. The only thing that would deter future diners would be that is looks like it needs a good power washing and redecorating in the dining room. Otherwise you wont be disappointed. The guy who makes the food looks like hes there everyday busting out the American dream which i happily support see you again later this week Ali read more

Came in they spoke, but then was trying to rush me to order when I'm looking at the menu. then when I asked a simple question of if any of the dinner platters come with rice because the menu on the wall did not state what came with it outside of the meat. Lady jumped up with attitude and pointing at a rice bowl sign and speaking to me as if I was a child. I stated and repeated that I was not interested in chicken rice bowl and I repeated the question and that Irritated her as she had a confused look on her face don't understand what's so hard about answering if any of the dinner platters come with rice. read more

This place looks super hole-in-the-wall like it's going to be a bit sketchy, but it's really nice! Portions are big and you can easily share with someone else, which makes the prices really good. All meal options were good, but I have to admit I did not like the baklava...it was mushy and not as sweet as it should be. The owner was so interesting to talk to...from Kenya, has some college degrees, and speaks 5-8 languages! read more

I ordered falafel salad but received a falafel wrap the veggies inside didn't look fresh. I ended up throwing it away. Disappointed. The guy there looked nice. He offered me a free drink. Just wouldn't recommend it to friends and don't see myself coming back. The restaurant looked dingy. Made me not want to try the food as I was worried about how it was prepared. If it was dirty and unsanitary. read more

I was so glad to have taken a chance on Ali Baba when I ordered delivery recently, as I found it to be some of the tastiest Middle Eastern fare in Atlanta for an incredible value. I have passed by their unassuming storefront in Little 5, and it had always piqued my curiosity as a lover of all things Mediterranean. I decided on two of their vegetarian sampler meals, hoping that they would be substantial enough that I could eat on them all weekend. I was absolutely blown away at what showed up at my door. Whereas sometimes Mediterranean fare can be too light or dainty, Ali Baba does it the old-fashioned way, with big scoops of everything all assembled together in a styrofoam clamshell, making for a massive meal that almost felt like the Middle Eastern version of a light night guilty pleasure. The sampler contained all of the classics- hummus, baba ghanoush, Turkish tomato dip, tabbouleh, dolma, and falafel- coupled with some old school additions, like a humble green salad and a heaping scoop of creamy pasta salad, all paired with pita and tzatziki. Two of these reasonably priced platters literally lasted me for days, and everything was delicious, with the falafel being particularly extraordinary. Ali Baba is near perfect and a must for anyone seeking really incredible old-school Mediterranean at terrific value. Just make sure you're hungry. read more

Gyros sandwich with the red sauce is AMAZING! I got extra red sauce bc I poured it all over. They are more of a carry out place. They don't really have a dine-in area but they give you the option of sitting in the hookah area next door even if you don't get the hookah stuff. The tables are wobbly and really low so it's hard to eat on them. It's def not fancy and you wouldn't want to bring your family here to dine-in. The samosas are overpriced. I would love to return here to pick up food next time im in the area. read more

This is a local take away spot. The owner is very sweet and kind. He was welcoming and even stayed open later for us. This place has good portion sizes and has plenty of options for vegatarians. The hookah was enjoyable. The Interior decor reminds me of a road side hookah lounge from the middle East or Africa. FYI The hookah is not a Maya or Kalifha high end hookah. read more
