    Salad, hummus, basmati rice
    Angela S.

    They go above and beyond for their clients. They were so friendly over the phone and even gave me recommendations. Ali Baba's good reviews don't lie- the food was excellent, homemade, and catered with care. They set up our party's table for us when they arrived right on time. Salad and dressing are very refreshing, garlic sauce and hummus were impeccable, pita bread nice and soft, meats perfectly cooked. No complaints whatsoever. Placed online order so can't comment about ambiance. Will for sure keep ordering from Ali Baba for more office parties to come.

    Such a good deal! We got the mixed grill, and for about $50 you get a pretty substantial meal that could likely feed 4-5 people for dinner. If getting takeout, as we did, they package it well and it's just about ready to put on the table and dig in! As for the food - I really have no complaints. The meats were juicy, the rice was suuuuper flavorful.. and they provided plenty of garlic spread which I love! If you are looking for Mediterranean food in the area look no further :)

    Falafel & Spicy Potato
    Angela C.

    After reading all the 5 star reviews on this place, I was super excited to visit this place for the first time. Food was decent, unfortunately the service was a big let down. I arrived for lunch shortly after 1:00 pm and it didn't seem like anyone was working there. My kids and I were standing by the door which seemed like for 5 min. I saw a man walk to the back and he although he saw me and my family, he didn't even acknowledge me until I went to him and asked him if the restaurant was open. I saw there was a family eating inside, so this place doesn't follow covid protocols. The man told me we could sit anywhere, so I said we would eat on the patio. He handed me menus, walked away, and left me with the pleasure to move the tables together myself. After about 15 min, he came back to take our orders and I ordered a bunch of things to try: *Spicy Potato (good, not too spicy...spiciness level is 3/5) *Falafel (really tasty, but found a chunk of aluminum foil/metal in my mouth from eating this. Manager comped this dish and gave us dessert) *Spinach Fatayer (tasty) *Cheese Burke (kids loved this) *Mixed Grill (includes Shish Kabob (meh), Kafta Kabob (good), chicken kabob (tender and tasty)) *Chicken Shawarma Gyro (we all sampled this and we all liked it) I had to ask for the pita and garlic sauce as the server didn't automatically bring it out. I did appreciate that they gave us individually wrapped disposable utensils and bottled water (after waiting about 10-15 min). The food didn't take too long once we placed our order. I also ordered kafta kabob and chicken shawarma plates to go so my husband could try it too for dinner. It took forever for us to get our check. Then I showed him my 20% coupon for Yelp check-in, but then that took forever because the server didn't know how to calculate the discount, so I had to show him how to subtract 20% off the bill. This lunch took us about 2 hours... most of those 2 hours was waiting around for the server. We left around 3:00. Thank goodness I didn't have anything else to do today! Not sure why everything took so long as there were only us and 1 other family there, and 2 guys with hookahs. Food is good, glad I tried it, but unless I feel like moving my own tables and have the time to wait forever for everything, I don't think I'll be back.

    Chicken Shawarma
    Niki W.

    Rarely do I enjoy a meal at a restaurant so much that I end up ordering it again the next day. This is one of those restaurants! I ordered takeout using Yelp's GrubHub interface - we got 2 Chicken Shawarma Plates. The order was ready when I arrived and the pick up was easy. When I arrived, the restaurant had several orders that nobody picked up, so I was offered an extra Kafta Kabob plate! What a treat. The food was sooo good. Chicken Shawarma was wonderfully seasoned, rice was so good, and I especially liked the grilled peppers - everything went well with the toum sauce, of course. The hummus was some of the best hummus I've ever had. The Kafta was also very flavorful and it was so nice to get an extra meal. I was really impressed by the overall quality and service. The next night we ordered the lamb shank. It smelled so good, we started eating it immediately and forgot to take a photo of it. After the meal, I received a very kind phone call from the restaurant thanking us for coming back a second time in 2 days. He remembered me! But genuinely, a GREAT Lebanese place, and right in Pomona. Highly recommend! And If you can, call them to place the order so they don't get charged a huge fee with the online ordering services.

    baba ganouj
    Melinda M.

    First of all, this place has great customer service, as other reviews have said. They are very polite and helpful on the phone. They were willing to take my restaurant.com certificate, even though it is usually for dine-in only (but these are covid times we're living in) PLUS apply a Happy Hour deal. Everything was delicious! We had the lamb shawarma and the chicken shawarma plates, which came with pita bread, hummus, rice, and a small salad. Very filling! We had to save our baba ganouj for the next day. It was our first time trying that, and we really enjoyed the unique smoky flavor of the dish.

    Lamb Kebob
    Spencer W.

    LOCATION : There's a huge parking lot for the plaza. This place is one of the fewer places open late. FOOD : We got the Lamb Kebob and Chicken Shawarma plates. Honestly it was all super delicious. I've had stale, hard to chew meat at other places but this was the opposite - the kebob is huge and chicken tasted fresh and aromatic. The quality is great so it's a fair $$ place. Surprisingly the weakest link was the bread and unsurprisingly the baklava was delicious. AMBIANCE : This place is spacious and definitely a chill vibe. We ordered take out but I'd imagine it'd be a great place to relax and hang out there as other people were doing. SERVICE : As others have mentioned the service stands out and makes this place unique. The workers are friendly and straight up if you have an issue they're happy to handle it. It's a great restaurant by itself but with the customer service it goes over the top as it's always an enjoyable experience coming.

    Service was fast and food tasted freshly made. Rice was so yummy and serving was really large. I initially had a hard time finding this spot and getting a hold of them but learned they had to switch locations from their original restaurant location. This was a recent change and I think their website/google is taking some time to update.

    Chicken Kabob Plate

    Food is soo good!! I cannot get enough and price is very good as well. The owner is the nicest always greets customers with a smile. Love the place! One time came for dinner stayed past closing and didn't realize it, he did not make us feel like we kept him, sorry Everything i have tried has been sgood!

There is so much more. You learn to love yourself and others. No matter what part of the world we come from we are all the same. Food is one of the best ways to bring everyone together as one. Throughout the class, you get to sample different items. Save room for the huge spread served at lunch. The leftovers are evenly boxed up for everyone to take home.

I highly recommend this class for all. Harry is a genuine person, down to earth, and a funny guy. You will learn so much, enjoy some great food, and have great memories.
