Really solid spot. Seems to be the first solid Mediterranean spot in the area in a while. Chicken kabob wrap was awesome, so much juicy meat with a perfect slight char flavor. Fries also were great! Theres seating outside which is great but inside seating is limited to 1-2 spots. This is definitely a grab and go or sit outside spot which I dont mind. Only recommendation to the owners is more sauces and more sauce flavors. A shkug would be awesome for a side dipping sauce. Also, if thr option to get a grilled wrap existed. read more

I hate leaving unfavorable reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience. I was genuinely surprised to see so many positive reviews because my experience was quite different. For the price, the portions were very small, especially the lamb dish. Unfortunately, the lamb was also dry and overcooked, which made it even more disappointing. I expected a quality meal and better value for what was charged. The rice and hummus were flavorless and lacked the seasoning and freshness I was expecting. Overall, the food simply did not live up to the reputation this restaurant seems to have earned. Everyone's tastes are different, but based on my experience, I probably won't be returning. read more

Alibaba Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Palos Verdes, California

Came here to try the food since I'm a local and I love Mediterranean food. It was so so delicious! I got the chicken kabob plate and it was so much food! The chicken was flavorful, tender, and juicy. The rice went so well with it. The hummus was full of flavor and the side order of pita bread was warm and fresh. I did not care so much for the dressing on the side salad. It was very bitter tasting to me, but that just may be a personal preference. The service was great, and the wait wasn't too long. There were only a couple customers when I dined here so the promptness of the food was nice. There is minimal seating inside but there are plenty of tables outside the restaurant. It is very small inside so I recommend sitting outside and getting some fresh air :) I will definitely be coming back to dine here. read more

I am so excited to finally have some Mediterranean food in San Pedro. They have a very white selection I chose the beef plate and an order of the zucchini fries. I was really hungry, so I forgot to take a picture of my food, but everything was delicious. Portion sizes were generous too. I couldn't even finish all of my food. The zucchini fries were so addicting. I love that. I can now get zucchini fries without all the greasiness. We'll definitely be back. Inside is pretty small, but luckily they have the outdoor seating. They do take a while for your food, but that's only because they make it fresh and I don't mind waiting for fresh food. read more

When I first saw the sign that this place was going to open up, I was so excited because I love Mediterranean food. There aren't very many places I would call amazing in town so this one was exciting. I visited the 2nd day they opened so it wasn't running super smoothly yet. You can order at the counter or through the kiosk. I opted to order through the kiosk and ordered the Alibaba combo or whatever it's called. I subbed the hummus for baba ghanoush but their system didn't read it right so they gave me hummus. When I brought it to their attention they happily just gave me a side of baba ghanoush and let me keep the hummus. Everything was very flavorful. The garlic sauce was super yummy. The rice was a bit dry but maybe they just need to get used to their equipment. My only complaint is that it's a little pricey but I think most places are a bit pricey these days. The service was pretty friendly but it took a while to get the food. I'm sure it will get better. The place is small but clean. Anyway I'll definitely come back during lunch since they have some lunch plates I want to try out. read more

Tried this place just opened up in San Pedro, and it's already a great addition to the area. I ordered the Alibaba plate and it was a really solid meal. Everything came out fresh and well prepared. The meats were flavorful and cooked right, and the sides complemented everything without feeling like an afterthought. It's one of those plates where every part works together and nothing feels off. The place itself is clean and has that new, welcoming feel. You can tell they're putting effort into both the food and the experience. Staff was friendly and helpful, and service was smooth. read more

Food was really good, especially the baba ganoush. We all had chicken shawarmas along with an order of falafel. All very tasty. The only negatives were having to return for the French fries that weren't in our order. At the same time we commented that the 12oz baba ganoush was really only 8oz. They were happy to give us a top up. I'd have preferred more then 4 quarters of pita with the baba but... I'd definitely try them again. I love kabobs and will check them out. Frankly, I'd return just for another order of baba (with extra pita!). read more

We were excited to try this place since it just opened in Rancho Palos Verdes, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. The food was very plain and lacked flavor overall. We also ordered garlic sauce, but what we received tasted more like straight lime juice--it definitely didn't seem like garlic sauce (as shown in the photo). We understand they're new, so we hope this feedback helps them improve. We were really looking forward to enjoying it and hope to see better consistency and flavor in the future. read more

Great new Mediterranean place in Pedro. Staff was super friendly and orders come out fairly quickly. I ordered the chicken and steak kabobs and both were delicious. The steak ones weren't as tender as I had hoped but the chicken was flavorful and tender. Fries were good though I wish they were crisper! read more

I was excited to try this place. The chicken was really dry. They gave you a lot of rice. I was told that it came with garlic sauce did not come with garlic sauce only came with a dressing for the little bit of salad they gave you. For the bowl I paid $15. It could've have came with a piece of pita bread and garlic sauce. read more

Alibaba Kabob - CHICKEN KABOB BOWL - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Palos Verdes, California

I thought I'd try this place for the first time because it looked new. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Their food wasn't that great. To be honest, the meat was on the drier side. And not seasoned very well. The hummus was okay, the salad portion size in the plates are small. And it comes with a small bread. For the quality, the food is WAY too overpriced. For two plates and baba ganoush I spent nearly $75! And the plates weren't even that big! Save your money please. The only good thing was the parking. It's in a big plaza, so it's very convenient to park there. read more

Nice place, delicious food and very good service, Thank you Viri for your nice attention.

The food is excellent and relatively authentic. Food portions are large and service is very good. Healthy food for a good price. I have been back several times, and was never disappointed. read more

So, I just discovered by looking at my receipt that they charge 3% to use a credit card. I looked around and didn't see a sign disclosing this. Food is great and folks are nice, just should be transparent with fees before charging them. This is an update to the owner's response: To be clear, I was charged the 3% fee--don't try to slough that off. Most people don't look at the window when they are inside ordering and paying. The sign should be clearly displayed at the counter or how about when you ask cash or credit, you add a few words like, "there is a 3% fee for card". Also, yes, my choice is to either pay cash or credit OR not frequent your establishment. Hmmm, I wonder which one I'll choose. read more

I was excited to try this new kabob spot in SP, and ended up astonished how disappointing my wrap was. The beef was sad, grey, Sysco freezer bag vibes. read more

I am so excited about all the new places opening around town. It's like a small refresh for the town after years of having the same places to go to or small businesses not bringing in enough traffic and then closing down. However I have high hopes for the new eateries on western! I have tried all of them and have been waiting for this place to open. Well just happened to be in the area when I finally seen people outside and in the restaurant so decided to try it for lunch. I am a huge fan of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food (I say both because I feel they're so similar!) one thing I really liked about this place is that they offered bowls. Usually when I order a kabob it's for a plate and costs more, so I appreciate that the bowl was a smaller portion and half of what I'd pay for a plate elsewhere. Perfect for quick lunches! Staff is friendly and attentive. Being such a fan of this type of food, sadly I'd have to say I was not so impressed by my first order! But it wasn't horrible, I didn't like that the salad didn't have dressing in the bowl and I was not too fond of the rice, but the garlic sauce (toum) makes everything better! I'll definitely be back to give it another try and see what else the menu has to offer! The place is small and clean as it just opened, it was lively with a lot of customers trying it out, who looked satisfied with their orders so I wish them well and happy to see new business around town. :) read more

I noticed this on Western in the redone shopping center. I have a thing for beef shwarma. My go to is usually Zankou which I had the day before when I was dropping my wife off at Long Beach Airport. I got the Shwarma wrap. I was good not great. I came with a good deal of meat nice bit tahinni which is how i like it and they offered me a side more. The pita was so so. They put pickle and red onions the onions were bit strong (it happens) the pickles could of been a bit more. I would give this a 6-7 and will try again. Look forward to trying their hummus and baba ganoush. read more

Had a chance to experience Alibaba Kabob this afternoon. Wife and I ordered plates. They both came with plenty of food to try. I ordered the veggie kabob with a side chicken kabob. The veggies were placed on top of a bed of yellow rice. Now the vegetables were grilled very well seasoned good and flavorful. The rice was just plain. The chicken Kabob was a little on the dry side with little to no flavor. The Garlic paste was very good. The Humus was good as well everything did seem fresh. The pita bread was soft and warm. The service was good. Smiles and a pleasant demeanor. Inside or outside it was clean and nice. I would return. Plenty of room for improvement. read more

Decided to try this and I must say the food tasted real good. I had the chicken shawarma wrap and I really enjoyed it so much. The wrap was so stuffed and filling.

My friend went here said they are Persians and wanted to try the food. He's been going there three days in a row after that. I took a bite of his beef Shawarma and it was soooo good!! I'm happy that there is a middle eastern restaurant close by read more

Tried for 1st time the lamb was dry as sawdust they also forgot to pack any of the sauces definitely not coming back.

With prices skyrocketing eating out is becoming a luxury. So you have one time to deliver rude lackluster service and I won't return. The woman at the counter was just that. She Clearly didn't want to help me and when I came back to pick up my food it was sitting on the counter. I showed her my number , she read it aloud and stared blankly out the window while another man helped the kid with the number after mine. Let's just say the looked alike. All she had to do was hand me my food. She didn't even check to see if it was mine. So my POC, save your money. When I got home I still wanted to give the food a fair shot. NOPE. Bland, tasteless and Way overpriced. This is the new thing now but will be deserted like most of the new, yet bad SP restaurants soon. That said, I won't be throwing good money after bad attitudes and bland food. read more

Food is awesome! Very good! Meat is tender, wraps are delicious! Best I have had in the South Bay.

The food and service was great I didn't get the boys name but he did really well with the dinner rush all by himself. Food came out hot the dips were amazing and the dressing for salads is soooo good love the lemon flavor that tang cuts thru everything . Good filling but light. Not over priced . I'd probably go here instead of chicken Maison . read more

Juicy, well-seasoned meat with a good balance of spices. The outer edges have that slightly crispy char, while the inside stays tender. Not overly greasy, which is a big win. Portions Generous--definitely filling for the price. Highly recommend! read more

Went there for the first time time today, 04/10 for the Shawarma wrap. Wanted to compare it to the epitome of Shawarama, Zankou Chicken. Was good, tasty, good soft pita, generous size. Wanted one falafel for the ultimate test but had to buy 4, so will do that later. read more

While fast food take out containers, the food itself was very fresh and tasty! So glad they're here as I love Middle Eastern cuisine!

New halal place opened up near us. They have delicious shawarma wraps and kofta kabob wrap. Would definitely recommend to check out the place if you're in the area. read more

I'm so excited to finally have good middle eastern cuisine in our area. Staff was friendly and welcoming even during a busy weekend dinner rush. The food was authentic, plentiful and delicious. I'm looking forward to trying more of their dishes and incorporating this spot into our takeout rotation. read more

Prices seem to be a bit high for instance for falafel's are over five dollars. A Shawarma plate is over $15.

Food was good, just a little too salty .... Was drinking water all night ... the plates are big but there's more rice than meat, kinda pricey for not getting that much protein read more

This was our first time here! Very good! So happy SP has another great and healthy food option. We will be back!
