Food is always made with love and the service is great! My favorite is the falafel and the baba ghanouj. The owners are also very sweet. I recommend this place to anyone with a big appetite, portions are very generous in size.. great place to bring family. 5 stars! read more

Food here was alright. We were in town from Chicago. I gotta say I've had better Lebanese food. The garlic sauce was good. The meat was very raw and not seasoned properly. Maybe we came on a bad day not sure. The server was very nice and so was the girl that greeted us. read more

My husband and I had seen the old location was closed and felt so sad it was gone. No sooner had my husband said, "I'm sure they'll reopen somewhere else," when he looked over and saw the new location! We are SO GLAD Ali Baba is still open!!! We stopped and both had the chicken kabob lunch--absolutely delicious! The chicken is well seasoned and moist, the rice (3 varieties in a serving) was super, and the grilled tomato and the fresh onion added such a nice fresh touch. I love the garlic sauce! We shared a baklava for dessert. Mmmm!! Such a treat to eat at one of our favorite Boulder restaurants again!!! read more

We order takeout from Ali Baba quite often. Such good kabobs with the best seasoning and flavor (chicken especially). The food is always fresh and arrives hot. The menu has a great variety and both kids and adults are happy! This is our go-to place in Boulder! read more

Great food! Been here a few times. I recommend the meat lover's combo and the biriyani

I checked this place out on Grubhub, uberEats and Yelp for reviews. Odd that it's so mixed on reviews. Glad I took a chance. I wanted a combo plate with rice and they had it. Check. We wanted something vegetarian and ordered the Grilled Mushrooms. So so good. Last, top that off with the wings. If it wasn't for the hot sauce on the side, this review would be in the yellow. Nice save. All around good, really good when you want something different from Italian and Sushi routines. read more

Best hummus I ever had. The hummus plate with rice was huge. Enough food for 2 for sure. The gyro meat and chicken shawarma was so tasty. Service was a little slow at the end, but I did not mind, since we were not in a hurry. Really good food. I will be back and very soon. Cannot wait to try their gyros. Happy to find this place. read more

Food is bomb, ordering is easy for takeout and delivery, best in town for this kind of cuisine! (Gyro for the win)

The food was ok but they shorted me a kebab on my order. I got it delivered so I can't comment on the ambiance or service.

The atmosphere and food are fantastic. Quickly seated, quickly served. The lamb shank was perfectly cooked and the basmati rice was cooked perfectly and seasoned Definitely coming again! read more

Ali baba in Boulder is a great Middle Eastern restaurant. I had the chicken Shawarma and it was full of flavor and very tender .My husband had the lamb kebob and loved it too. With a lot of flavor and juice to it. This location has it together for sure. The service was excellent and my waitress was Awesome. read more

Its very easy to fall in love with this place, everything is so fresh and delicious !!!!!!

Amazing Arabic food, with great chicken and rice. Good customer service along with a nice restaurant. 10/10 recommend for a mediterranean cuisine. read more

This has to be one of the best restaurants in Boulder when you consider the quality of the food, the very excellent service and the modest prices. Have been going there about every 10 days since it opened and never once had anything but very good food. And their rice must be the best in Colorado. I've observed a continuous in and out of take out orders. Try that too. Arthur of Boulder read more

INCREDIBLE food! I've been looking for this kind of restaurant for quite some time and I finally found it! Highly recommend it!

Very good food, love their gyros. Coffee was amazing, very strong and flavorful. Will be very happy to come back sometime soon.

Something broke down at Ali Baba Boulder last night. The food was mediocre at best, and if I wasn't a frequent diner, I'd say it basically sucked. Kitchen was in disarray, apps coming out after dinner, lack of table service and the newer server was clueless. The Kibbeh tasted like it was fried in old, rancid oil, we left 2 of the 3 pieces, our friends Vegetarian Platter came out last inspite of other apps of the same items and lamb chops were actually overdone mutton. Will be back but they need a break to get the act back together. read more

I tried Ali baba for lunch yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by how yummy it was. I had the vegetarian lovers plate the hummus was some of the best I have ever had. I will definitely go back again soon. read more

We tried various appetizers and the lamb kebab. Everything was absolutely delicious and we could feel it was home-made. The baklava was all gone so no dessert for us, but that's a good reason for us to come back. read more

I went in with a party of 3 for dinner. The prices on most items seemed a bit high, but we found sandwiches on the menu and went for it. Two of us ordered falafel pita sandwiches and the other ordered a gyro. You would think these items would be simple to make- pita, meat/falafel, a few veggies and some sauce. We were all surprised at how poorly these were botched. Pitas were cold, falafel was way overdone and flavorless, gyro meat was cold, and there was so much sauce we all ended up just opening them up and using a fork. None of us will be returning and we'd recommend you look elsewhere for decent food in Boulder. read more

I REALLY liked this place. Totally delicious food, reasonable price, and they gave us some Baklava on the house!

Very disappointing with the service. After they brought our adult food, they brought our kids food 10 minutes later.

The place has good food and nice service. It looks clean but has a bit too many flys. The Turkish coffee isnt right.

It is an awesome middle easter good. Taste amazing and the environment is great. It is the second time my husband and I come to the restaurant. Their kebab is awesome and their hot grape leaves is amazing. We will definitely come back again. read more

Door was great and portions were huge. We ordered three dinners for four people and took home three to go containers.

YUM! Totally delicious hummus and baba ganoush...perfectly creamy and the fresh pita was warm and tasty. Also got the chicken shawarma which had authentic flavor and was so tender. And finally...the pies! Ate here with friends, family-style and we ate every bite. The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried. Food came out right away. I don't post on Yelp a lot, but Ali Baba's just deserves the positive attention. read more

Delicious food and very good service! Definitely going back! Try their Turkish coffee and baklava! read more

Just ordered some Lamb Curry and Greek Salad via DoorDash, and I must say that it was both the worst Mediterranean food I've ever had and the worst value for money. The lamb curry was thin and watery, stretched with a lot of large (not particularly good) carrots, with a small amount of lamb. The Greek Salad was largely mushy iceberg lettuce, with a few Kalamata olives and bits of feta cheese. A tremendous disappointment; we won't be ordering from here again! read more

This place is too well kept of a secret. It's an amazing family owned restaurant with delicious, authentic Mediterranean cuisine, incredibly generous portions, and an awesome staff. The variety is simply unbeatable and the quality is fantastic! You must try any of the lamb dishes, especially the lamb shank, but so long as you get an entree with a serving of the hummus you can't go wrong. Also, make sure you save room for a piece of baklava, your life will never be the same! read more

Great place: family-run, authentic and delicious food from a menu with lots of variety. Friendly and reasonably prompt service, good prices. Don't be put off if the parking lot looks full--there's plenty of seating inside and though the lot is supposed to be private, it gets used by people patronizing surrounding businesses. read more

Unbelievably inadequate. Amateur hour service-- not given enough menus, no one ever asked how our food was, no drink refills, 10 minute wait to get our check-- and even lousier food. My shish kebab had barbecue sauce on it? Our salads had, like, store-bought Italian dressing on them. This is a hilarious excuse for middle eastern food. I will never return. Go to Falafel King instead. read more

This is the bast place I have been to since moving to Colorado! Service was great and food was great! Decor was not great, but I could care less when the foods that good! read more

Delicious dinner at Ali Baba last night! We have enjoyed dining at the Ali Baba in Golden, so we were excited when we learned they had opened a Boulder location. It's very casual and family friendly, but the service was excellent. I started with a delicious yogurt drink, which was as good as any I have had. My wife had the gyro meat with tzatziki sauce, while I ordered the Hummus Be-Shawarma, which was a large portion of gyro and chicken shawarma, served on a plate of hummus, with rice on the side. My wife and I both agreed that the portions were large and very filling, and the hummus was some of the smoothest and tastiest we have ever had. We would highly recommend Ali Baba Grill in Boulder. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service during our trip to Boulder, CO location. Several Vegetarian options were available. Pleasant service and well maintained restaurant. read more

I have been here twice now, once for pick up and once for lunch. The food is delicious. The Gyro meat in my opinion is fantastic and their rice is perfect. I personally love the hummus here, it has a lot of tahini flavor which to me is very good. Not sure why the bad reviews, my pick up order was ready right on time and the time I went for lunch the service was fine and we were taken care of quickly. Trying to save my 5 star reviews for absolute perfection, but this place is definitely worth trying. read more

I was excited to try this location of Ali Baba after enjoying my visit in Golden. We were greeted right as we walked in and someone was with us for drink orders right away. Out server checked in frequently and seemed genuinely concerned with how we liked our meal. The Greek salad was great and a good portion either for a couple people to snack on or for a meal with added meat option. I really liked the cheese pies as well and the muhammara which both had a little kick to them. The fresh baklava and Turkish coffee were a treat. I have seen some poor reviews for service and I they seem to be trying to make sure people are happy with their experience. This is right behind my house and will probably be a new go to! read more

Really enjoyed our dinner at Ali Baba on 28th St. Our waiter was really friendly and service was good - no waiting for menus/ ordering food that others mentioned. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend the Lebanese meat combo for two - all the meat was cooked perfectly. The hummus it comes with is so fresh and delicious. The tomato/ cucumber salad it comes with was ok. We also ordered the cheese pie as a starter (tasty but next time I'd skip it because it's too much food - we've got enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow) and the baklava (the tastiest baklava I've ever had - not sure how I fit it in). We'll be back soon. read more

We have enjoyed the food and friendly, attentive service at their restaurant in Golden. Their new place in Boulder is as good. The room could use a little decor however. read more

The food was horrible, the service was poor, and the place was dirty. I ordered a lentil soup that tasted very bad, couldn't eat it, returned it, and they still charged me for that. I also ordered the king combo and I couldn't define what I was eating because nothing tasted as it should. I had something that I thought it was baba ghanoush, but I couldn't taste any eggplant in it. The falafel didn't taste like a falafel. I ate only the salad and the rice. Never coming back. read more

I will second the other reviews. Very slow service - we were told to seat ourselves and that menus would be brought to us. 15 minutes later we were brought water. 10 minutes after that we got up and got our own menus. 10 minutes after that we flagged down an employee and asked if we could order. He was very polite and apologetic and everything was great after that. Salad and hummus came right away and we're delicious, and we got seconds of hummus and pita. The main dishes came within 15 minutes of our ordering and was amazing - chicken kabobs, chicken biryani, gyros, and falafel. All were fabulous and popping with flavors. The portions were huge. At the end they apologized again for the slow service, so it seems like they are aware of their issue and trying to rectify them. I'm not from Boulder, but when I'm back in town I will definitely come back. read more
