My girlfriend and I almost left after we had arrived to see only a gas station as our destination, but upon almost leaving I figured I'd call before resorting to mcdonalds as a last resort. Turns out they really are cooped up on the left side of the gas station! Owner was really nice and portions were hefty. I hope they can move to a more suitable location, but I'll definitely be back to try the lamb! read more

The food is amazing! Alex is a great chef and such a nice guy! We love any chance we get to go here!

This has to be my fav restaurant since moving here from GA. The spicy hummus is amazing. Everything is good. They can really season some meat. Other places lack the flavor. This place understands flavor! read more

Alex! You rock! Friendly service and quality ingredients!! The beef kabobs are where it's at! Garlic spread is fire af!!! Falafel is brilliant. Hummus is fresh too!! Shwarma wrap is a must. It's real juicy and messy too, so eat with caution and perhaps over your sink! It's worth it. read more

This restaurant definitely earned repeat business. I have a son in ICU at Pomona Valley and we ordered a bunch of food to take care of the night staff. He put together a great package at a great price and delivered it personally to the hospital. The staff really enjoy the food here so much that we ordered again for the day shift. I can't wait to visit for sit down dining once Covid is controlled. I'll always support a business like this. He has a great heart and was very compassionate to the situation. Please support this business. Great food and great service. Can't beat that. read more

Some of the best Mediterranean food in the area! Any time I don't feel like cooking but still want to eat healthy, my roommates and I will get the mixed grill plate and it's enough to last us a couple days and super affordable! The food is always seasoned so well and they make it very fast. I highly recommend you check them out if you're in the mood for some healthy, delicious food. read more

This place is seriously a gem. It is one of the best restaurants around! We started coming here during the pandemic, getting takeout. We have been dining in the last few times and LET ME TELL YOU... it is amazing! The presentation of the food is beautiful. The owner Alex is such a nice man! My husband and I love coming here. Everything we have ever had here is so delicious and every time we try something new we are blown away at the flavor. The lamb kabob plate is so yummy! read more

This place does not serve Iraqi food, food is ok but is not great, it use to be very good spot for authentic Iraqi food but not anymore.

Was craving Middle Eastern food and stumbled across this place. Not the most romantic or relaxing ambiance but the FOOD. Authentic, reasonably priced and so incredibly delicious! All the usual menu items and then some. Clearly a family business where meals are made with pride read more

Really good food, order of half chicken entree and chicken kabob entree. Hummus is delish and fresh. Quick order time and cool staff at place. It's our second time ordering from the place and we will be back. Enjoy. read more

Excellent food and service. I really like the wings - the wing sizes are big and the sauce is really good. The mango shake is also refreshing. Highly recommend! And they stay open late too! read more

It was a late Monday night and was looking for a healthy option for some dinner. I've lived around here all my life and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised with the food and service. Had the chicken salad and it was great! Thanks for a wonderful experience. Will be back forsure. read more

Let me start off by saying the man working I'm assuming the owner, is the coolest dude ever!!! I drove out there from chino trying to find an authentic Mediterranean place. And I totally found it! The food was perfect. Seasoned perfected. The garlic sauce is AMAZING!!!! And the salad is so fresh. I will definitely be coming back. Just so good! Thank you for making our food so fast and delicious!!! read more

Incredible food and service! Alex went above and beyond to cater our son's rehearsal dinner. The guests raved about the food, saying it was delicious and the best mediterranean food they've had! The portions were also very generous. I would highly recommend them to cater your next event! read more

I've passed by this place for a while now and finally had the courage to go. I ordered a chicken kabab plate and it came with hummus and surprisingly really good salad. My boyfriend got the beef Shawarma. They forgot to give me my hummus and I forgot to check until I left. I called them again and they were so apologetic, they even gave us some really good baklava on the house ^^ its a plus for me. read more

Frequently come here with friends. I live in Orange County and come here for amazing service, hookah and food.. Definitely recommend. Ambience is nice and relaxing . Service is amazing, great hookah and beyond amazing food . Must definitely check it out . You won't be disappointed . Owner Ahmad is courteous, and everything is on point . 100% recommend . Thank you thank you Ahmad for all you do. Will continue to return read more

I was a little skeptical they would serve food late into the night but, when we arrived at 11pm, we were still able to order. We ordered the sandwiches (which are wrapped with pita bread). We got the Chicken Shawarma and the Beef Shawarma to go. They were huge! I could only eat about half. They were delicious; the meat was tender and the sauces inside were so SAVORY. If you need a late night snack, I recommend coming here. Though I won't mark a star down, it would be great to see more mask usage here (though I understand because it is a Hookah Lounge). Stay safe friends! read more

Ali Baba Restaurant - Filet mignon kebab. Delicious!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Pomona, California

Non-existent customer service. Came in for lunch at 12:30pm when they are supposed to be open by 11am. We asked if they are open and the guy there just mumbled. Asked another guy and he said 10 minutes. What? No one greeted us or told us to sit or anything. So we just sat down and after sitting for 10 minutes we just left. Terrible for what is supposed to be a grand opening even though they've been open for a about a month already. read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME. The restaurant owner is one of the sweetest men I've ever met. He's full of great stories and so welcoming. Even when I called the restaurant just to confirm that they were open, he was so kind. The food is absolutely amazing. You can taste the love in all of the food and there is so much flavor. I went with two other people and we all ordered extra food after finishing our plates. Please come and support this local business. read more

Fresh and delicious food served by a kind restauranteur. If you're craving grilled veggies, meats and rice, baba ganoush with a deep, smoky flavor, this is the place. read more

Ten stars! I love this place and am so happy they've taken Alladdin Jr and revamped. I've eaten here over a decade. I moved out of state years ago and this is one of my most missed places. My friend and I had lunch here today and the food and service is excellent and even better than before. The new owner is very welcoming and a great host. I love all their vegetarian dishes. I would bring this restaurant home with me if I could! read more

Great tasting food at a good price. Orders usually take 15-20 minutes to complete. The restaurant offers a relaxing place to eat.

Great service, delicious food. You'll eat the real Mediterranean food with the amazing hookah highly recommended read more

Ali Baba Restaurant - Beef shawarma sandwich with pickles, onions and garlic. - Mediterranean Near Me - Pomona, California

I used to go here back in high school and the lebneh and pitta was very good. Owners must have changed or something because I had a had the lamb Schwarma and some lebneh with pitta and it was just horrible. If you want good Mediterranean DO NOT GO HERE. It did not satisfy one ounce of my craving for a good Mediterranean meal. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the guy was really nice. This place could be a drug front now too idk, it was so weird and dead in there. And now he replies to my review accusing me of being high lololol SAYS IT ALL. It likes you didn't even read my review. I said I've been coming here on my own terms since high school, I'm 25 now. I came here on my own, no one sent me here. I'm just letting people know that the pita isn't even pita anymore, it's thin stale bread. read more

This place is awesome. The new owners are super cool. I have been going to the previous owners Alladin Cafe which was going down. Since the ownership and name change this place has become my favorite place for meditation food. read more

I drive from OC just to come to eat at one of my favorite Mediterranean grills ever!! Everytime I go it's always a pleasure because the food is amazing, the restaurant is always spotless and the owner Ahmad is kind and friendly. Its a very cool environment and I love that they don't rush you when your done eating. Hands down this is the best place I've ever eaten kefta kabobs at it's super delicious and they serve a lot on your plate at great price! read more

We were throwing a retirement party for a friend, so started trying out different Mediterranean restaurants. We ordered three dinners containing the entrees, salads, and sides that we wanted to serve at our party. Presentation was great, the saffron rice was perfectly done, and the dishes were delicious. THEN we talked about his (Alex) catering our party for 30 people. The menu was whatever we wanted it to be (which included two separate/complete vegetarian plates), the price was good, everything was exactly on time, and all our guests raved about the food - including our friends from the Middle East. They were impressed that we "knew what to serve". We will absolutely maintain our relationship with Ali Baba. read more
