We ordered from here a little over a month ago and the food was AWESOME It took a bit to get through the line upon trying to place an order, but once we got through all was well. We placed an order for a Chicken Tandoori wrap and a butter chicken dish with rice. The naan was ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE.... extra huge, soft and fluffy and made to order. The restaurant is built specifically for take out and they keep a cooler full of various favorites that you can purchase and warm up as you please. The location is very neat and clean. The staff is quite friendly and very open to.make recommendations if you ask. They prepare everything pretty quick and the food is quite fresh The portions were huge ... we ordered the wrap and it was nearly a foot long If you are in the area and looking for a great meal .. full of flavor and great service. Give them a call for a quick take out response read more

My food was delicious. I ordered the samosas, they're alittle spicy which is how I like it. Then the rice and trio meat (gyro and chicken) with the garlic Naan was so very delicious! I love the food at this place. I'm so glad they opened a new location. read more

Ordered pickup through DoorDash for 2 wraps to bring to the Bisons game. (FYI - It's only 10 minutes from the ballpark and you can bring food in without a problem). The wraps were huge and absolutely delicious! $6.99 is a bargain for the size. I would say 1 is big enough to share with a side. We ordered the tandoori chicken and gyro. They were packed with flavorful meat and fresh herbs (there was some cilantro in the tandoori chicken wrap). I'm a huge fan of gyro, which was a perfectly seasoned and dressed in a creamy yogurt sauce. The chicken was so tender. And what brought the wraps to the next level was the wrap itself - naan bread. So soft and chewy; I couldn't have picked a better vessel to eat my chicken and gyro in! The descriptions of the wraps online are not very detailed; it just says meat and fresh vegetables. This is the reason why I had to take off a star. It would be great to have more detail of what veggies, herbs, sauces, etc. are in the wraps, especially for those who are not as familiar with Indian/Mediterranean/halal cuisine. read more

my favorite place for halal food in buffalo !! fast, friendly and courteous, their raita sauce is excellent too.

WEEEE-OOOHHHH, WEEEE-OOOHHHH, WEEEE-OOOHHHH ... SOUND THE ALARM ... THIS IS NOT A DRILL ... we FOUND IT! ... THE BEST tikka masala IN THE CITY!! You did it, Alibaba Kebab!! YOU DID IT!! :-D Yesterday we had a late-night hankering for some delivery chow. By that time, there were not many options still open. But Alibaba was taking DoorDash orders until 11:30pm. Plus it was free delivery with orders over $15, so we went for it. We placed our DoorDash order at about 11:15pm, and our food was contactless-delivered to our porch a little after midnight. We ordered chicken tikka masala, paneer tikka masala, a falafel and hummus wrap, and an extra order of naan bread. Everything came packaged well, hot, and HUGE. The naan bread was SO BIG it didn't fit on our plates! They use the same HUGE naan for their wraps, so the falafel wrap was HUGE too! We ordered it with no cheese and the yogurt sauces on the side, so it was vegan for our vegan daughter. She LOVED the wrap, and easily had half to save for the next day. The tikka masala dishes were both BEYOND. I've become so used to getting tikka masala with the consistency of Campbell's tomato soup that I forgot what an exceptional, hearty tikka masala could be like. Paneer tikka masalas I get elsewhere usually have a few small cheese chunks afloat in a watery sauce--but NOT this one! Alibaba's was a hearty, creamy, cheese-chocked-full tikka masala, with peas! I've never had one made ever heartier and creamier with peas! The flavor was as sensational as the consistency. Maybe a smidge spicy for my liking, but I am a spicy-lightweight, so probably just right for most folks. The hubbs loved his chicken tikka masala too, also very generous with the chicken. Ordering on DoorDash, it was very easy to customize our dishes to be "No Cilantro." We both like cilantro flavor, but recently had a bad tikka masala experience someplace else with stemmy, rutty cilantro sticks all through the dish. To play it safe, it was nice to easily opt out of cilantro altogether. In this case, I didn't miss it. I like cilantro flavor, but this tikka masala still had a complex flavor profile that left me wanting for nothing, just YUM. The prices at Alibaba Kebab were very reasonable! The HUGE falafel wrap was just $8.99. The chicken tikka masala was $11.99, and the paneer version a dollar less. An extra side of the HUGE naan was only two bucks! And, back to the naan for a second--it was HUGE and still also delicious. It was soft and doughy, with the hints of spices you expect to taste in a good naan. So WEEEE-OOOHHHH, WEEEE-OOOHHHH, WEEEE-OOOHHHH ... RUN, don't walk, but RUN to Alibaba Kebab for their tikka masala! And if you live farther away, don't count out DoorDash! Alibaba delivered all the way to us in North Cheektowaga, so take a look to see if they'll deliver to you, too. We look forward to trying other dishes of theirs in the future, although it may be very difficult to peel me away for their DIVINE paneer tikka masala for a while. ENJOY! :-D read more

Ordered the Beef Nihari (beef curry) to-go which came with a good helping of rice and a jumbo piece of Naan. Everything was delicious! The pick-up experience was quick and easy as they have a side window you can pick up order at if you don't want to go inside too. The staff were friendly and my order was ready when I arrived. read more

Alibaba Kebab - Beef Nihari (boneless) - Kebab Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Honestly, the best Western Asian food I've had in western New York. The restaurant is always busy, but the staff is ready to get stuff done promptly. Website is super easy for ordering food. Food is incredibly flavorful, and the portions are incredible for the price. We spent $60 feeding a family of five tonight, with plentiful leftovers. read more

Food was excellent, shawarma and any of the curry dishes are really good. Service was fast and people are friendly. Restaurant is clean and prices are very reasonable for the large portions. We will be back! read more

After ordering from Alibaba dozens of times I'm afraid I need to downgrade their rating. For years they were as good as it gets in Buffalo but for the last six months or so the prices keep going up, the portions keep getting smaller and they are now pre-cooking the kabobs and they are just not fresh. I hope they turn things around before they lose me as a customer forever. read more

I routinely get the meat trio rice box from here and have never been let down. They offer a variety of portion sizes. Now easy to customize your order with extra/no cilantro, onions, sauce etc. If you like the typical chicken shawarma and gyro meat dishes, you absolutely cannot go wrong with this. I have had some of their kebabs and curries as well, but the rice box is what I go there for. read more

The food was delicious. service and ambiance were also nice. prices were average. We are satisfied

I was feeling lazy and haven't had Indian cuisine in awhile, so I decided to use door dash to try this place that was recommended to me. Ordered a Chicken tikka masala meal and a single beef kabob. Prices are very fair and portions are huge! I did enjoy all the food, although I prefer the chicken tikka at other Indian establishments. Also, I prefer the naan to be thicker, although that might not be as authentic and a personal preference. The beef kabob wasn't what I was expecting (I was thinking it would be more like steak) but it was well seasoned and tasty. I would order from them again, maybe try a wrap next time since that's the particular item my friends were raving about. read more

Alibaba Kebab - An Indian buffet of deliciousness easily able to feed 2-3 people (I had leftovers which were still tasty the next day!) - Kebab Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I drive for GrubHub to make extra money. When I come across restaurants that people order from and I find amazing, I make it a goal to try it out. I wasn't disappointed at all tonight. For $22 I had a large size of the Tandoori Chicken, 2 Beef Sheesh Kabob, and some Garlic Naan. This place is pumping out authentic Halal food right in the heart of the East Side, and the family and employees deserve the hype. Give it a try next time on your GrubHub order, or do take out yourself. read more

Alibaba Kebab - Tandoori Chicken Over Rice, Garlic Naan (Each), Sheesh Kebab (Beef Chopped) - Kebab Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Cheapest and best food in Buffalo no doubt. You can't dine in but when you walk in the door, it's smells amazing. Friendly staff to.

We had a solid late night meal here, I had the gyro, shwarma, knaan, and rice. The rice was a little full of garlic but the meat was tasty and it being open late was very convenient read more

Just ate there! So delicious! Samosas were fresh and perfectly seasoned with just the right crunch. Kebabs were perfect. The rice box was a great way to eat shawarma and rice. The wraps are huge, you could easily split it. read more

While most buffaloians fish fry on Fridays, I marched to my own beat and ordered the falafel and hummus wrap from Alibaba kebab. I always wanted to try this place and since it was pay day... why the heck not. I ordered via their website and opted to spend .50 more to get my falafel wrap in garlic naan. They were speedy with my order and everything was so fresh. I will that my wrap was absolutely delicious, but be warned, you really shouldn't be smooching anyone after- if you love garlic- this one is for you! read more

Alibaba Kebab - Falafel Wrap w/ Hummus (vegetarian)with the garlic naan wrap - Kebab Near Me - Buffalo, New York

They will substitute anything they want if they run out, you call and they yell at you and tell you to read the menu. This is the 10-12 piece tandoori chicken which is two quarter pieces--they said they ran out and the owner isn't there so they couldn't call. Absolute trash service, there's way better Indian places to order from. If there's something wrong with your order then it's your problem. Butter chicken is dry, everything was overcooked and the skewers may not be what you're expecting they are ground up dry meat in a cone shape with no actual skewer through it. Bad food, trash service. I'm not the only one, so if ordering out be prepared to NOT GET what you pay for read more

The food was very good, I've only had halal food once before from another place and I did not like it. My fiancé and I decided to give alibaba a try and we were not disappointed. We loved the food, the portions were huge. I'm someone who can eat a lot I'm talking a whole full mooneys Mac and cheese in a sitting so I was so surprised by how full I was for having only had 4-5 bites of my food. Not only was I super full afterwards but I have so much food leftover. This is their chicken over rice and it's so good and this is what's left after me eating a good majority of it and feeling super full. I definitely have another meal or two because of the leftovers I'm so surprised for 14 dollars this was amazing. This is going to be our new go to place because of how good it is, it's very flavorful and the portions are huge a 10/10. read more

I ... loved this place. When you want to grab some decent takeout, you sometimes find yourself going for the usual things you know best. But it gets redundant and boring. After catching an advertisement and hearing about it, we were close enough by to try it out. Put in an order and waited in the parking lot until it was ready, which was pretty fast. Curry, wraps, tikka masala, butter chicken, they have so many options. I could barely settle on what to choose. I got a tandoori chicken wrap and the tikka masala over rice. Their portions are huge. They give you so much food you could share it. We split it among three people, and it was more than enough. The food was still hot when we got home. Tandoori chicken wrap was huge. Super long and filling. They weren't skimpy with the contents at all. The pita was warm, fresh, and soft. None of that stiff, inmalleable bread. The tikka masala was so good! All the delicious spices and flavors. I couldn't stop eating it. And they give you sauces on the side, one of which brings all the heat. Because you need that heat. It's not the same without it. The pita is bigger than the plate. The menu has variety. The prices are beyond reasonable given the huge portions you get, and the service was good, too. They have a small parking lot. It's strictly a takeout or delivery spot. You hit the counter as soon as you walk in. It's open late, until midnight, I believe. Best halal spot I've been to so far. I had zero complaints or criticism. read more

Yum! First off the smell as you walk in. Whoa! Flavors in the air. I knew right away it was going to be good. We tried the Falafel 10piece w/humus which was quite decent, a bit dry and bland on the falafel but the humus balanced it out a bit. The chicken tikka masala over rice was amazing! So juicy and full of flavor. Really nice! Pretty large portion for the "normal" size. The size options are small, normal, jumbo and family. Also tried the garlic naan bread. By far, the best I've had in the area. Chewy and light. Really good, and also serves as a utensil, to soak up all those flavors of course! Highly recommend! On the downside the area surrounding and roads all around the parking lot are riddled with car destroying pot holes. It is the tail end of winter right now, but City of Buffalo needs to fix these roads. They are horrible. Parking lot is tiny but private, which was nice. I can't wait to visit again and explore the menu. read more

Indian food is perhaps my favorite cuisine. Alibaba Kebab is a great option for individuals in the Larkinville area and surrounding Buffalo neighborhood to grab some lunch on the go or pick up dinner on their way home. They have a good selection of traditional curries/ tomato dishes as well as rice dishes and wraps. Their shawarma wrap is a favorite for me every single time. They have online ordering and you can customize your dish if that is something important to you. Their online ordering is a 30 minute pickup window, something to be aware of so you can plan ahead. If it's busy or dinner/ lunch hour, I would expect to pick up at the later half of the half an hour. This business seems to be family run and is definitely a local small business that deserves your patronage. I've ordered there probably five or six times and the food is always fresh, made correctly and delicious. read more

Super affordable, good food, and great portions! I got the tandoori chicken over rice and wish it was a bit spicier, but otherwise was good. My friends got the chicken shwarma over rice and chicken shwarma wrap which they also loved. We all had enough for leftovers for a perfect post-concert midnight snack. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick, affordable place to eat. read more

I've been an avid fan of lazeez shawarma up in Canada for years. There isn't really anything comparable to their "chicken on the rocks" or "shawarma wrap" in Buffalo, until now. This is a small little place great for take out. A few tables, not really an overwhelming interior, but I still couldn't wait to eat and wanted to save my steering wheel and jacket the eating while driving aftermath. I ordered the tandoori chicken wrap to try something a little different. Unlike other wraps, the tandoori naan does come a little crispy on the outside, and it's not served like a gyro but instead like an actual sandwich wrap. The chicken was so tender, the vegetables were fresh, and the wrap was delicious. There's so much more on the menu that I'll be back frequently. The over the rice boxes I need to try. Also - I love the educational posters they have up about Halal food. Not far from downtown, it's worth the stop! read more

I've had great food from them in the past. Today I bit in a jalapeno popper, and I bit in a chunk of glass. The stuff that only happens to other people. I know these are probably bought from costco, but that does not mean alibaba can shirk their responsibly like they did. claiming "it is not our fault because we don't make them" is NOT correct. FYI guys, I found a second piece of glass. this was in the butter chicken. better check those containers, because this had nothing to do with the poppers. read more

Wow, this food is fantastic and exceeded anything we could have imagined when we ordered through GrubHub. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and my roommate got the chicken shawarma bowl. The wrap is made with fresh naan and did not disappoint. It was also much bigger than I was expecting. My roommate couldn't stop raving about his dish and suggested I try some. As much as I loved my wrap, I found his dish was even tastier. Instead of being wrapped in fresh naan, the chicken shawarma was atop of this really flavorful rice and dressed with sauces. I will get that dish for myself next time but I'm also to eager to try some of their other food. Both meals were also very good size portions, especially for the price. We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

The food was not very fragrant or spicy. It has no sweetness or saltiness of heat of much scent. None of the typical spices you'd expect in such dishes. The naan were large but dry, no ghi and not fluffy. overall just good enough unfortunately read more

What great food at this place! This was my 3rd time eating from Alibaba. Consistently good food with subcontinent taste that I truly enjoy.

The food was amaze-balls!! My boyfriend and I picked up some take from this place and before we could even get out of the car we could smell it! (the same way you can smell a bbq from like a block away)! My boyfriend got the three meats over rice and I got the boti chicken kabab and the paneer tikka kebab. The kebabs were pretty big not like the ones you would would get at a street cart (think "bite-sized" pieces cut by grandma). We have enough leftovers for another meal for both of us. The rice was perfectly cooked, the paneer was just right and the meats were super moist and flavorful! The service was fast and the staff was really nice! If you don't mind going a little out of your way I would highly recommend this place! The food is delicious and totally worth the detour!! read more

I was in the area for work and wanted to try something different for dinner so I went for Alibaba Kebab. I made the right move! When I first saw Alibab Kebab on Yelp, I was nervous at the food wouldn't be enough. Therefore, I was planning on having it for lunch the next day but ended up not having enough time. So I thought, "why not just order a little more than I normally would?" and I sure was in for a surprise. Just the chicken tikka masala alone would've been enough. The portions at the restaurant are extremely generous and a lot for what you pay for. Everything was extremely delicious from the chicken tikka masala to the jalapeño poppers. I like to say I eat a lot, just this night I was not able to finish all of the food in one sitting. If you're in the area and looking for some good Indian food, I would definitely recommend to stop by and give it a shot. Even for those who aren't into so much spice they have other options! I will definitely give this spot another ring when I'm back in the area. read more

Always nice to see another halal, north Indian food restaurant in the area. Not the highest quality. No ambiance. Very simple seating/dining area if you decide to eat in. Simply good take-out if you want a good quantity of pretty decent desi food for the money spent. Here's what to get: 1. Potato samosa - to start your meal. I liked that the exterior wrapping was crispy, not bready or oily. Potatoes were seasoned well. Only thing that was missing, the tamarind chutney. They didn't include that. I should have asked, well next time. Maybe it's me, but I seem to always enjoy samosas with dip of tangy, tamarind chutney. I didn't try the chicken or beef filled samosas, so no comment on those. 2. Tandoori Chicken Tikka - Breast meat, grilled, tender and seasoned just right. Have this alone with a couple of Naan bread, you're set. Their naan was delish. Fluffy, buttery, melt in your mouth yummy. 3. Fish over rice: fried tilapia seasoned with spices over saffron colored rice. Flavorful. Could be a meal alone, or plenty to share with one or two more people. What to skip: 1. Butter chicken - not the creamy tomato saucy type. Shredded chicken pieces in a watery "curry sauce" just didn't hit the mark. Still the best place in town for butter chicken: Kabab and Curry. Hands down. 2. Palak paneer- curry was again watery, pieces of paneer were hard, as if over-cooked. Disappointed. This is one of my faves. 3. Beef kebab- over cooked,charred. Dry. Left on the grill too long? Almost like jerky. 4. Gulab jamun. The little dough balls of delight, which I love when made right, should not be so hard in texture. These were, unfortunately. Honey syrup was the usual, very sweet, too sweet. Maybe I should pop the left over jamuns in the microwave to see if that softens them up? Then those jamuns might be jammin?! You should give this place a try. I would give them a second try. Sometimes a restaurant has an off day, or maybe they specialize in certain items. read more

I don't know if the location on Military Rd, Kenmore ,is the same owner as the William St location. I was at the Military Road location for the very first day of service so that should be kept in mind that this is a provisional review. And we were looking forward to the Grand Opening. First of all I'd like to say that the nan was fantastic and very authentic and huge! A Samosa arrived slightly after our entrees and was as expected...mashed and peas, fried nicely. My dining partner had the beef Kebabs and I had the beef Curry. The beef on his kabobs was straight up hard as a rock the flavor was there and they were grilled well and the vegetables were quite nice ...but the meat could not be cut, not by him and not by me and not by our friend when we got home... so I simmered it this morning to make it more tender and it took over an hour. I had the Beef Curry and while the sauce was delicious and had a nice kick to it all I got was little bits of beef and Globs of fat which was definitely unappealing to my American sense of taste and I will tell you there was very very little of it. The Nan was great! and Great Big! Everything was served and take out containers and in a brown bag, I don't know if this is the way that is going to be served from now on out or if it's just because it's a new business and they anticipated more takeout than dine in... there were quite a few customers there and I wish them well but they need to get a pressure cooker LOL and add some actual meat to their Curry read more

We have gotten lunch from here several times and I've picked up dinner for my family. The food is fast, affordable, and very good. My kids love butter chicken, they liked it from here but it is not the same as you would get at a typical Indian restaurant. My coworkers love the chicken Tika over rice. My favorite is the chicken boti kabob, but I have also been very happy with the beef or panear boti kabobs and the chicken wrap. The green sauce is very spicy so beware. I love the white sauce! read more

Been hearing all the rave about this East Side joint and got their kebab & curry takeout special. It's a pretty good deal. For about $20, I got a few naans, some amazing tandoori chicken, kebabs and a cup of butter chicken and 4 incredible sauces to along with it. I devoured the meal and couldn't wait for seconds, then thirds the next day - it was a lot of food! This is definitely a place you want to check out, the grilled chicken is the most succulent and juicy marinated bites I've had the pleasure of eating. Each bite was a burst of flavor. Loved the sauces the meats came with too. Can't wait to come back and get some takeout again! They are also participating in Local Restaurant week this week, so check 'em out for some fantastic dinner for two meals & deals! read more

We are in love with this place. One of our go-to's when we order out and it has never been anything but excellent. Flavorful and two - three meals in one. I usually get the tandoori chicken over rice and extra garlic naan. It is divine. read more

(Covid Era Review) Hands down A+. Halal establishment. Just go, call ahead for pick up if you aren't fond of the neighborhood. It's totally worth it. All of their food is consistent and delicious. They have such a turn over that you never have to worry about subpar products. Their triple meat wrap is my go-to (with extra sauce). While I'm mentioning wraps.....they are HUGE. Can easily be two meals, or split between two adults if you are sampling a variety of their options. Kebabs are a bit pricier than I'd prefer, but they are delicious none the less, and my husband gets them every time we order. I order from them so often, I'd be embarrassed to show you my call logs. Stop reading this review, and order. read more

This was honestly a phenomenal experience. I'm glad it lived up to all the recommendations I got for it. The service was prompt, the food was delicious, and we got A LOT of it for the price. Every time I'm in the mood for Indian food, I usually get right back out of the mood after viewing to go prices on restaurant menus. Everything here is priced well and the portions are generous. We got an order of cheese garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and a beef seekh kebab wrap. Could've probably did without the extra order of naan, since the chicken came with a large portion of it. Our order also included a garlic tzatziki type of sauce, and a green sauce that was a bit spicier - both were great. The beef seekh kebab wrap was definitely the standout. Tender, flavorful beef, in a naan wrap, with veggies and sauce. It was about a 10-12 inch wrap that looked more like a fully loaded sub - for $6.99. We had plenty of leftovers and everything still tasted great the next day. Highly recommend! read more
