Ali Baba Express - Turkish Near Me - Lake George, New York

My husband and I love it here. I always get the baba ganoush app with the lavash bread and its always delicious and flavorful. Gyros are good too and they don't skimp on the fillings. They don't come with a side though, so I would agree with others that the portions are on the smaller side. The service needs work but I think that's to be expected for a seasonal place. Another downfall is they only have one small bathroom. Overall, this place satisfies my cravings for good Mediterranean food and we will keep coming back. read more

Excellent!! Very good food. Service was excellent. I don't know how busy it is in the summer time but great offseason dining. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Turkish eats in Lake George. read more

I guess everyone have the right to make one mistake when picking a restaurant! This was mine

Worst place ever, rip off!! Stay away, food sucks and undercooked and inedible due to fat hanging off the kebabs. Overpriced. Recommend Tandorri Grill down the street all day!!! read more

Ali Baba Express - Turkish Near Me - Lake George, New York

The baba ganouj here is an inspiration! I love a good baba ganouj, but I wasn't prepared for the presentation or taste. So first, it has an orange color that I've never seen before. And then it wasn't completely puréed. There were visible chunks of the smoky eggplant. And the taste is smoky, garlicky, and all around delightful. I would come back for it. The only reason I docked a star was the price. It cost $10 for the baba ganouj appetizer. My party also ordered the falafel platter, a chicken curry, and a cheese pide. It was all very good, but a little pricey. read more

Definitely a rip off.. we dined here and the portions were so small we were starving afterwards :( asking for extra bread or anything extra Is too much to handle for those young girls who work here.. it's definitely overpriced for those portions and it doesn't taste so good as any other Mediterranean restaurant.. they should always have rice and everything on the plates.. our plates were empty just some salad. And the garden salad what we offered was small, too.. so basically all I ate was salad, salad and salad... read more

Had an awesome meal, the staff and cooks were very accommodating to my dietary needs. The price for the meal you received was more than generous and the dining room and bathroom was very clean. This all happened during a busy rush. Couldn't ask for a better dining experience!!! read more

Hot fresh Pita bread prepared fly as you wait. A great Gyro right in the center of Lake George. Love this place. I'll be back read more

I love that place. everything taste very fresh very tasty. service was great. if you're not familiar with that kind of cuisin they have very helpful pictures of their food on the window. definitely coming back. read more

We regularly drive the Northway (I-87) and the parallel roads in Vermont. The region is a restaurant desert. We were hoping to avoid the chains, fast food and rest stops. We found this on Yelp. It was an easy 1 mile drive off the highway and is within sight of the lake. We parked on the street (be sure to feed the meters). We had the Falafel plate and a vegetarian platter. Both were fresh, tasty and generously sized. We saw a few kebab wraps go by, and they looked great. The service was fast and friendly. We will alter our route in the future to go here. read more

Very unreliable. We tried to call them to ask whether they would be able to accommodate a group of 35 people on a Friday night. They said that everything would be okay, and we should check with them a few days before. A few days before, we try to call them again, but they are impossible to reach. Also, all of a sudden, their website shows that they changed their hours, and that they would be closed at the time when they said they would be happy to receive us. They're not picking up the phone, it's impossible leave a message, they wouldn't reply to emails. Definitely not a very welcoming business, or one that would seem to have an incentive to make money in exchange for good service. read more

I had the lamb and beef gyro. It was soo delicious! The meat is seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend!

My wife wanted to stop and eat at this restaurant. I was a little worried about the place. But finally went in and to my surprise the food was excellent. I ordered the hummus, lamb chops with rice and green beans. The chops were cooked well done but they were very juicy and flavorful. The rice was cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the chicken gyro and she loved it. The service was good but the waitress didn't know the menu items all that well. It is somewhat pricy but it is a tourist area so it is expected. I will definitely visit this restaurant again. read more

Disappointing place for such a great location. This place sits in the heart of Lake George and offers a descent selection of food. Unfortunately, the prices are very high for the fast food feel that you get when you eat there. The staff is not very friendly and the service is sub par at best. They don't take reservations which should be assumed for an 'express' type restaurant. I will avoid this place if I go back to Lake George mainly because the food was only average. read more

Alibaba Express is an absolute must if you are visiting Lake George. I have tried several places at lake but none of them worth the price exept this restaurant. there is a huge restaurant turnover on the lake but Alibaba continues to endure. i have decided that i will one eat anywhere else but here. Food is great, always fresh, service is fantastic. in order to make it a complete Lake George experience visit Alibaba read more

DELICIOUS food, so fast! The menu is rather short and sweet to help ease your decision making. It smells of a fresh, eastern kitchen and is beautifully, warmly decorated. A step away from the typical American food. Absolutely wonderful ! read more

Very expensive for what you get. Knock down like 3 dollars on everything is my suggestion. It felt like a bad investment however I was staving so you guys were convenient. NO ICE. Yo you got to carry ice man. The drinking absurdly marked up. 6/10 food. The gyros were pretty good, but oily at the bottom. I didn't have the falafels but it seems like everyone else liked it very much. The hummus are bread were amazing however it is so expensive for what you get. The waitress and workers were sooo nice. It is wrong to rate humans but they are a 10/10. The wait was so quick. However i'm not sure if this caused the food to be mid warm-hot. I dislike the spaghetti. I really didn't like it however my family said it was pretty fine. If you are really into spaghetti this isn't for you. The food was all like I sad before mid warm-hot. This has sooo much potential. The restaurant is well decorated and it pleased me. I am easily pleased though. However it is the food that matters. Please, please, please make the food warmer and try other spaghetti dishes. And please make it affordable for the price we get. The staff I will say again is amazing. However I've expierienced better at my local quick grab halal grub. read more

A great find in Lake George Village. Place is clean and decorated well. Casual For kids and family and with large table setups. Stuffed grape leaves are fresh and savory and come with fresh Lavash bread and a delicious yogurt dill sauce. We asked for a second plate of the sauce and they were very accommodating. We lapped up the sauce with everything we could find. Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce plate is grilled and sauce is tasty and not very heavy. Tomato and onion in red sauce is a great side that comes with many of the dishes. Also tried the sour cherry juice which went well with the meal. Bring your whole family for a terrific meal with great service that won't break your wallet. We'll be back next summer. read more

Visiting from the city and had a mean gyro sandwich here. Loved it and it was perfectly wrapped which makes a big difference if your into gyros. read more

Excellent food..good portions..apart from the 20-minute wait once seated for the waiter to come take the order (it was Sunday evening of a long weekend in their defense)..everything else was awesome!!! Would definitely recommend it. read more

I literally stumbled upon this restaurant while taking a stroll on Lake George's main drag. My husband and I were reading the menu and contemplating whether or not to try this place ( which was not the norm for lake George). Then I noticed a woman eating at a table and she mouthed to me "this food is delicious! You need to try it". So we did!!! It was amazing, full of flavor and fresh. Nice sized portions and decent prices. We actually went back a couple more times that trip because no other place compared!! They also make it easy for carry-out (to our hotel). Definitely try this place...it is great!! read more

Never had a bad dish-- very friendly, fast and spicy! A wonderful treat to Lake George.

Chicken was dry and sauce watery. Two kids plates (chicken and rice), falafel plate, and chicken gyro ...$54. Food was ready fast (prob because chicken was cooked a bit ago). Kids did not get veg either. Disappointing! read more

Tried the lamb gyro, chicken gyro and the cheese pide. The chicken gyro was a little bland but the lamb gyro and cheese pide were delicious. The place is nice and clean but pricey. read more

Let me first say that the Lavash bread is excellent and that would the the only reason anyone should ever visit this place. Unfortunately the rest of the food is just atrocious. If I could give this place negative stars then I would. I ordered mix grill platter. I can honestly say I've never had someone screw up grilled meats this bad. Everything tasted boiled/cooked in a pan. Lamb chops were mushy and inedible. The rice was severely undercooked. The soda (which was suppose to be diet Pepsi) tasted like a cheap knockoff. To top it all the service was below average and extremely slow. We went on a Sunday night. They waiters were just rude and not properly trained to work in a restaurant. The other people in our party ordered quail, chicken iskander and grilled lamb. All dishes were equally bad. If you must visit this place, first kick yourself in the head and then get your head examined. Stay far away and thank me. read more

Went there tonight with my daughter and thought it was very good. It was raining out and the place was empty except for us. Ordered Hummus for an app which came with warm homemade bread which was really really good. Order a chicken shish and falafel roll. The fallafel was ok but the chicken shish was great. The food had a little too much butter on it but it was delicious. I almost gave it 5 stars b/c it's in Lake George and for the price it blows anything else in town away. Get's the Dude's seal of approval. Try it, it's good. $$$Cha-Ching!! read more

Visited Lake George weekend before 4th July 2016. Had dinner three times. Great experience. Food is fantastic, chicken with mushroom sauce, rich and hearty, but extremely good and succulent. Lavash bread is amazing with a touch of butter and sesame seeds. Lamb chops are a bit pricy but very good. A must try if you are in Lake George. Please note NO alcohol is served or BYOB. read more

Horrible didn't think you could screw up a gyro. I've had good and great gyros but never horrible don't waste your money.

Fresh Mediterranean cuisine. The hummus was a bit bland and I think the dolma was canned but the roast lamb, Aryan(yogurt drink) was tasty as was the cheese pidi was delicious. Service was quick and not pushy. read more

Went here on a whim on a Thursday night. It wasn't bad. We were the only ones in there so the service was great. We got the salad for the appetizer and it honestly wasn't that appetizing. we REALLY loved the yogurt sauce and bread. I could have easily filled up on just that, it was so delicious but Overall it was just ok and kind of expensive. read more

Went to Lake George with the whole family and were craving some good Mediterranean food....but when we got there they refused to serve us because we had a large group even though they had enough space to accommodate us. I thought they were in the business to make money but i guess they don't care about that. We were all so disappointed and embarrassed to have to leave the restaurant. We felt so discriminated by this establishment. Would not suggest this place to anyone....beware customer service sucks! read more

Taste and quality of food is mediocre for the price. Gave two stars because of the server was great.

After 3 and half hours drive we reach Lake George and 1st experience is Alibaba at 10:30 at night. Each gyro is $8.95 it's a skinny role which can be anywhere from $3 in the city lol. I asked for hummus which supposed to come with pita bread, the hummus is $8.95 for small portion with a baby bread. I did t get pita because the Fat guy says to give us bread since they are closing. I told him that we can wait he says u can wait but we are closing. He was still making food for room full of customers but he didn't want to give us fresh pita. As restaurant if ur open ur serving. The guy was rude and miserable which explains the over weight part. Bring the food back to our hotel room and the biggest disappointment was the food. It has no taste. My chicken was raw salt less with cucumber and some dry sauce. Very upset. Will Never attend there. I should have walked away when I saw that type of attitude but I didn't since the food was made and we were hungry. read more

Sorry I'm from the tristate area and this restaurant is just awkward. Lake George is not a destination for a foodie.

I would have given the place five stars but the portion was a little undersized. I'll be back to this place!

My friends and I were staying a couple blocks away and based off the # of positive yelp reviews and it was raining out, we picked this place. I have to say that for the first time, yelp reviews failed me. First, my bf asked the waitress if they served beer and her response of 'no' was in a way of 'uhhhhhhhh ... no ... what kind of question is that?!?!'. Now, the food -- 4 of us got the platters that came w/ rice and each of them said that the rice was mushy. One of my friends barely at her food and she LOVES food. The veggies were cold, but I don't know if that was on purpose and didn't bother asking. My bf and i got 2 different pizzas - the donner pizza (the one w/ chicken and lamb) and I got the chicken curry. The chicken curry was boring and the only reason the other pizza was better was b/c of the lamb. The "fresh mozzarella' was clearly not fresh as a piece of plastic wrapping from the cheese was in our pizza and that was found at the very end of our meal. I wish I tried another place. They need to step up on their service, especially for being in a very touristy area and their quality of food. read more

Why is this place called express? It took me 45 minutes to eat, and I was trying to rush. I was travelling into Lake George and wanted to grab something before I headed to my friends house. I picked this place because it sounded decent and I wasn't in the mood for "american" food. I was seated and ordered the falafel platter. It took a pretty long time to get to me and it was THE worst falafel I've ever had, just a very unusual texture and bland. Further, the service was horrendous. I think they came to my table twice in 45 minutes and once was to take my order. I received the check and it took entirely too long for them to come back so I just brought it up to the register. If your customer has to do something like that, you've failed miserably. Granted, I was by myself so I'm sure they were concentrating on the big groups, but I don't think that's justification to be pretty much ignored. Other reviews seem to be good so maybe it was a bad night and a bad dish, this was just my one time experience. read more

I visited this restaurent much because my friends raved about it's Lavash Bread and O'Boy ..that's the only best thing about this restaurant i can talk about.well keeping it tight : 1) I have had better Mediterranean food.. more authentic ones but this is not bad either like other reviews said. 2) I would give this place a 3 star but i take 1 off straight for their Service. Come on ! It's all about service and food when it comes to restaurant. Either 1 goes wrong and your business is doomed. Last year when i visited this place i thought i'd give it chance or may be the server is new or may be she was an exchange student and did not know ( FOB). Visited this year again for Lavash Bread ofc : - I was standing on a front door for 10 minutes in a relatively empty restuarent while all the servers were just "Standing" next to cash counter. - Until I "waived" at them (bummer...after 10 mins) 1 walks up and just stares at me till i asked " should i seat anywhere" or "a specific table you can help me with?" she looks around, runs to the guy who usually puts breads in oven and comes back and points out a table in corner..OK - I move over... 7-8 minutes and then my order is taken - Quick serve of a food...No delay there ..huh ! then the Fun begins . . . - No one shows up at my table for next 35 minute... i clocked it ! - I waived every single time but they would just stare at me and yeah 1 of them smiled at me but that's all i can get. - Finally a new server comes up and addresses me as " Sir" ... Bingo half a star on yelp right there :). - I beg for water... I get it in few seconds.... Bingo...half a star on Yelp one more time ! - And yeah...lavash Bread...1 star on yelp..that's the best i can review. read more
