I Love This Place! I have never been to their physical location, but my friends and I have ordered through skip the dishes plenty of times. Our order is always correct and always so good. I have tried multiple items on the menu, but my favorite has to be the tendoori chicken tikka masala wrap. I also appreciate that when they are sold out of something, it shows that on skip! This is extremely helpful because I've had times where I ordered food and had to keep changing my order because a restaurant was out of something. If you are ordering with friends, I suggest getting the family pack. You get the most bang for your buck that way. read more

Alibaba Kebab has gotten a lot of Yelp love, so I was excited to try it out. I'm not sure whether it was an off night for the eatery, or if we just didn't order the right dishes, but I didn't feel like our experience didn't live up to the glowing reviews. We ordered delivery through Grubhub, and went with the dinner for two option, where you pick which curry, which kebab, and which dessert you'd like, and they also provide rice and naan. We got the roasted eggplant curry, the paneer tikka masala kebabs, and tapioca pudding for dessert. Since we also have a toddler who isn't eating adult-sized portions yet, we added on a 4-piece order of chicken samosas. We placed the order a few hours ahead of time, and thought we were all set for a delicious dinner. First, dinner ended up arriving about an hour late. From what I could tell, the delivery driver was on time to pick up the order, but it wasn't ready. We were hangry by the time we sat down to eat, but maybe all would be forgiven if the food was outstanding. It was all just all okay, with some mistakes. The four chicken samosas ended up being 1 chicken, 1 potato, and 2 beef. We had noted a nut allergy on the order, but the tapioca pudding was topped with sliced almonds--maybe desserts are pre-packed, but it would have at least been nice to get a heads up from Alibaba that we inadvertently ordered something with nuts. I ate the pudding since my husband's the one with the nut allergy and not me, and didn't feel like the nuts added anything. The naan breads were huge, but they were chewier than other naan I've had before, and not in a way I particularly enjoyed. We had some leftovers, but didn't think the portions were as gigantic as other Yelp reviews led me to think they would be. Though with dinner being so late, we were hungrier than we would have been if the order had arrived on time. Our leftovers would have amounted to just one more one-person meal, at most, if the person was only moderately hungry. Again, I wanted to love Alibaba, but I don't know what went wrong. At this time, I'm not sure we'll give it another go. read more

Got put on to this place by a friend, and oh my gosh I'm so glad I gave them a shot! I've ordered multiple times now through DoorDash, and the food is always still hot even after a 15-20 minute drive to the Southtowns! Any time there's been an issue the staff is always very helpful and friendly! Highly recommend, especially if you're looking to try something new. read more

This is my first time eating here and I must say WOW! The best meal I've had in quite some time, between the flavors and presentation, just fantastic! The portions are huge, I ate dinner and I'll have lunch for tomorrow. Thank you for such quality products and a warm meal. Ordered through door dash and everything was great! read more

A friend ordered us this for lunch and I heard good things but I want a huge fan. The rice was cooked nicely but nothing really had much flavor. The chicken was very spicy for my liking and the shrimp was cooked well but had no flavor. read more

Alibaba Kebab - The trio (chicken, lamb, beef) and shrimp with rice - Kebab Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Another Take-out/Covid review. I'm going to say "WOW" again. I've ordered a few times via DoorDash. Today being the most recent. The amount of good food for the price is amazing! If you are on the fence about ordering - read the other reviews. Food is great. The restaurant itself is situated on a corner lot on the East side. William, Memorial and Fillmore. I grew up in the neighborhood. This used to be a fried chicken place, back in the day. The place is clean. The staff works hard and the food is fantastic. read more

Alibaba has good food at great prices. They're family deals are perfect to feed 4 people! I usually get the kebab and curry combo which comes with 2 chicken and 2 beef kebabs (well portioned but I think they put too much coloring on the beef) and a choice of curry (we usually get goat curry which is yummy), tandoori chicken tikka, and 4 tandoori naans which are delicious. Their green chili sauce is also really nice and spicy. If you want some filling food I'd recommend trying this place out! Can't beat the prices! One thing that did turn me off about this place when I visited a year ago, the woman who works behind the counter was yelling very loudly to her fellow coworkers. It was very unsettling/ unnecessary as the coworkers also seemed shaken and made it uncomfortable for everyone in the restaurant. read more

So flipping good! Take order tonight of a falafel wrap and a beef samosa. Ahhh heavenly! Flavorful fresh ingredients. Best I've had in a long time. A naan is used for the wrap taking this up a notch in my opinion. The tandoori chicken wrap is also fantastic. Love how the sauce is on the side, makes it travel well. I seriously could eat this food every day! read more

Woohoo! New fav discovery!! So worth the drive over there to grab this stuff. The flavors are outstanding and the value is great considering the amount of food you get for the price! We went with the kebab and curry combo which comes with chicken tikkas, a chicken sheesh kebab, a beef sheesh kebab, 1 curry (we chose the butter chicken) and 3 naan. So much food! Def enough leftovers of 1-2 more meals for each of us! I wish I had looked at the menu while we waited cuz they have rasmali and Iv been waiting to have hubby try that for 3 years now! Arrrrgh! Oh well just one more reason to go back ASAP :) ......update Went back yesterday and got $50 of takeout because I decided I was too lazy to cook this weekend lol. We got 3 curries: the chicken makhani, the goat curry and the beef kofta curry and two naans, a lambchops over rice plate and an order of rasmalai. Ok sooo much food and alll of it amazing! This place is seriously great!! read more

Very impressed with this place. I ordered the kebob and curry combo, and it's a ton of food. The combo will easily last both me and wife multiple meals for under $30 after tax. My Indian wife made clear that the butter chicken is not "real" butter chicken, but we both agreed that the flavor was totally on point, so who really cares. I actually enjoyed the fact that the chicken was shredded. As mentioned in another review, the beef kebob did have some non-meat filler, but again, the flavor was there so I'm not gonna complain. And there was still plenty of meat in the combo for the price. The restaurant isn't located in the best neighborhood, but the inside is actually rather nice. It's clean and there is a good amount of seating. There were even some pre-packaged meals at the counter. It's a short trip from Larkin so I'm sure I'll pick something up one day after work. read more

Alibaba Kebab - Kebob and Curry Combo - Kebab Near Me - Buffalo, New York

While everyone in Buffalo is talking about Rachel's Mediterranean, I've been ordering Alibaba Kebab. Half the price, twice the flavor, and triple the size! It's a mix of authentic Indian and Middle Eastern halal grub. I ordered the Trio wrap (3 meats: Tandoori Chicken, Gyro, and Chicken Schwarma) surrounded by fresh vegetables, and wrapped in a fresh, homemade naan. The wrap was $7.99, the size of a football, and the sauces that came with were . You can't go wrong with the beef and chicken samosas either! This place is a staple when we're trying to decide where to order takeout! read more

This is a really awesome takeout place. It's at 900 William Street and intersects with Fillmore. There isn't much parking space in their lot at all. A friend got us a few wraps on New Year's Eve last year. They were really huge and only $6.99 each. One was a chicken shawarma wrap and that one was my favorite. I went back tonight for takeout for myself after she recently raved about the place. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap, four beef samosas, and an order of fried okra. The chicken shawarma wrap was awesome. It was on Naan bread and had fresh vegetables on it. I hadn't tried beef samosas before. You can order them singly, in a four pack, or a 12 pack. Singly they're $1.99. The four pack is $5.99. The 12 pack is $14.99. They have chicken and potato ones too. I'll definitely try those when I come back for more takeout. The fried okra are $5.99 for a 15-20 count. They weren't bad but I probably wouldn't order them again. Instead of calling in an order, I used their online ordering system and I paid online. It is a great process for expedience. They had my order ready for me when I came in. It was bagged nicely. The chicken shawarma wrap was wrapped in foil, which was really nice. The one employee (owner?) was really nicely when I told him it was my first time there. I will definitely return for more takeout food soon. read more

The butter chicken curry was fantastic. My husband had the lamb shank and the meat fell off the bone. The food was great

They are cheaters. I stopped to grab dinner while on way to Hotel while traveling from North Jersey with my wife and daughter. I ordered curry combo and selected shrimp and goat curry to go. When we reached Hotel to and sat down for dinner the shrimp curry was totally without shrimp and goat curry had more bones than meat. Be careful when ordering takeaway from here. read more

Never buy chicken over rice, lamp over rice or mixed. They keep it cold and warm it after you pay for it. It's over priced. Halal Guys are so good and famous and still charge $5.99 but this guys charge $11. Way too expense for cold food. Yes quantity is lot but I would rather get quality over quantity. Never again. I promise read more

After you make order it doesn't let you cancel except do you have call and what if someone doesn't have phone number to call

We ordered for our Diwali celebration at work and it was a large catering order. All the food tasted great and portion size was good for the crowd, the spice level is perfect and lots of happy guests to try something different. We ordered a bunch of items - chana masala, butter chicken, chicken tikka, paneer tikka, samosas, naan, rice. They delivered on time and responded to all my questions promptly. read more

My family and I adore the food from this place. Always delicious and hot. Not just thrown together. They never forget anything and pickup and deliveries are always on time. We've been going for a few years. The white sauce and trio meat over rice are are way better than comparable restaurants. The kebabs are perfectly cooked every time. The staff are busy but friendly. ​ read more

Positive catering experience and will be catering again! The manager provided excellent pricing and customer service! It was a stress free event planning when it came to food. Food was delivered timely by the manager himself! He was very accommodating. Guests enjoyed the food! You will not be disappointed read more

Let me say this first. The food is very good. I've ordered food from them a couple times this year already. But when there's a problem with your order AND you have to wait an extended period of time (over 50 minutes!) to get the order fixed, the business should extend an olive branch by either discounting your meal, or throwing in something extra at no charge. A sincere apology is expected and appreciated (which I did get!), but something extra should be done on their part to show that they appreciate your business. I'm not expecting a free meal or 1/2 off the bill, but they should give you SOMETHING. A business can't survive without its customers, so when things happen, they should SHOW THEM, and TELL THEM, how much they appreciate your patronage, especially when something goes wrong with an order. I will order from them again, but I hope the owner reads this review and will take my advice if this happens to someone else. read more

Just placed my first order with DoorDash. Talk about knocking it outside of the park! The samosas are some of the best I've had in Buffalo, and my god the Chicken Tikka is phenomenal. Even simple sides like the naan was so flavorful. My wife loved her paneer and also the gulab jamun. I'll be back for more! read more

My favorite for North-Indian food in Buffalo! I have ordered take out from Ali Baba about 3 times now. I wanted to try a few things before I gave it my review. Everytime I have ordered the food is delicious! They pride themselves in serving Halal food, which, for those of you who don't know, follows the Muslim laws of butchering the meat in a specific way. The menu is somewhat limited in comparison to other Indian restaurants. They have the standard curries, mostly non-vegetarian, and a few veggie ones. In addition to the curries, they also have an assortment of kebabs that can be ordered on a sweker, as a wrap or over rice. All their dishes are very economical and did I mention, delicious?! I have tried: Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken Sheesh Kebab, Potato Samosa, Chicken Samosa and Tandoori Naan. Their curries come with a choice of rice or 2 Tandoori Naans. The butter chicken is the best I have had in Buffalo. Most places make it too sweet. This was the right amount of spice withhout masking the butter flavor. The naans are fluffy and ginormous. The portions are quite substantial and I always have left overs. The samosas are good also. Crispy and not greasy. The kebabs are moist, juicy and perfectly spiced. To me, all they are missing is a little hit of lemon, and I wish they came with a lemon slice. My favorite is the Sheesh kebab. I had to deduct a star because I have tried to order the meatball curry a few times and they are always out. They also didnt have potato samosas one time. Also, the prices on their flier have changed, but still far cheaper than others. 5 stars for quality and taste of the food . I've only ordered take out, so I am looking forward to checking out the location. For me this place leaves all the other Indian restaurants in the area in the dust. I am definitely going to be a loyal customer. read more

Terrible customer service!! Worst treatment I've ever had. We went in when it was a bit busy and it seemed very disorganized. I ordered some wraps and the tandoori leg quarters over rice. I was not given my receipt until I asked and I noticed that I had been charged for the regular Tandoori over rice, not the leg quarters. I waited until the line was gone and went up to the counter again and politely mentioned that I had been charged for the wrong item. The woman behind the counter began yelling at me that it was correct and the price on my receipt was for leg quarters over rice, and the one I was pointing to on their menu screen was for WITHOUT rice. She was very adamant so I went away confused because the menu screen clearly said "ON RICE" . After she realized her mistake she changed her answer and shouted over at me where I was sitting that their prices had changed and the screen prices were wrong, and their menu said $9.99. Since I had a menu right in front of me I decided to check and AGAIN it clearly said leg quarters with rice were 8.99 not 9.99. Many other customers were ordering this, so on principle when our order was ready we mentioned it again to her and she began arguing in front of everyone that all their prices had gone up and their screen was wrong and their menu was wrong. She continued to argue that we took the leg quarters and insisted the price was correct even when we had the menu. Finally she decided to get her glasses out and actually take a look at their menu and handed us four quarters muttering "sorry". It was a small mistake but she was so unprofessional and rude. If she had just taken a look the first time instead of making up excuses and arguing this whole scenario could have been avoided. I know they were busy but I did not come in to be shouted at and disregarded and treated badly for pointing out their mistake. Food was good, but due to this experience I wouldn't go back. read more

I'd give this place a 3.5/5. Good things: 1) their naans are soooooo good. The naans are bigger than my face, buttered up, and soft to the touch. 2) anything off of the grill was amazing. I especially love their tandoori chicken. It was not rubbery at all and was very flavorful. Bad things: 1) Their chaat was nasty. I honestly took one bite and threw the rest of it away. I don't know how to describe the flavor.. just trust me -- it was BAD. 2) Their masalas are not very flavorful. If you're Pakistani/Indian or just enjoy spicy food, don't get their masalas. I was disappointed in this. I asked for spice too and did not get any. 3) Their service is slow and not much seating inside. I'd call in advance if you want to order.. they're always busy. read more

Awful awful awful costumer and delivery services, we ordered me and my boyfriend two 3-meats shawarma wraps, we later received the order as a chicken shawarma wrap and only ONE wrap, then, when we called their phone number, the person that spoke to my boyfriend was rude and didn't do anything about it when we asked for the right order to be delivered or fix the situation, yet, he was telling my boyfriend "Look, you got the chicken sandwich," like what's the part of we received the wrong order you do not understand!!!! We are regular costumers and we have been treated this way!!!! This is so awful and unbelievable I wish I could put no stars. read more

We LOVE getting takeout from Alibaba Kebab. Delicious curries, HUGE naans, and copious sauces. So this place isn't a sit down restaurant where you have an evening out. It's small. But the business is exceptionally clean and we always have good service for our take out orders. We are willing to drive from West Seneca/Orchard Park area out here and back to get our fix regularly. They have a small selection of curries, all of which if you don't specify have a small but decent amount of heat. The meatball one was a surprisingly good and delicious choice that I highly recommend. We also like both chicken curries and get them frequently. The rice is beautifully yellow and topped with fried onions; fragrant and delicious. You get a large portion with your curry. A curry and rice for me is two meals easily, especially when you also get a naan that is much larger than your head with it! Going in for the garlic naan is recommended. We've also tried: tandoori shrimp, tandoori chicken leg quarters, falafels with hummus, samosas (crispy even after the trip home!), and various kebabs. All good. You typically get two sauces with your dishes, a greenish one that has a spice that sneaks up on you as you eat it, and a less spicy sweeter raita type sauce. Both are good with your kebabs and falafels. Highly recommend this place in your takeout rotation for some delicious variety. read more

This is my place to order whenever I need to get this type of food for our staff, and also for my family. Johnny is always so helpful and accommodating when we need big orders. The food here is the best, no other place in buffalo has better choices and seasoning. The wraps are the best, all of them! read more

I picked this place completely at random when ordering from Door Dash and I'm so happy that I did. The food was still hot and ready to eat when it arrived and the flavors are SO GOOD! I ordered the 6-piece mix & match Samosa (potato, beef & chicken. The chicken is my favorite) as well as the Chicken Shawarma over rice. The rice itself doesn't have a ton of flavor but the Chicken Shawarma has more than enough flavor for both and you eat them mixed together anyway. For $20, I've gotten 3 meals out of my order so far and there's enough leftover for one more meal. To reheat the Samosa, I pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds (40 seconds for 2) and then toast in the toaster oven to maintain the crispiness and they are PERFECT that way. I will definitely be ordering from Alibaba Kebab again. read more

I have ordered food from here couple of times. It is a great takeaway place and food is good. Chicken tikka and tandoori chicken from the appetizer are really great and tender. Butter chicken curry is also great. Based on the yelp reviews I ordered seekh kebab and boti kebab from the menu but honestly they are not so great. Prices are reasonable. I really wanted to give 4 star but its just that once they messed up my order and there's one other thing I want to add that their fish curry is horrible! read more

Great food, quick service nice location close to home, large portions. Rice is a bit hard for my taste.

This is the most satisfying restaurant I've ever ordered from. The food is always great whenever I get it. Can't say I've had a bad meal ordering from Alibaba Kebab. Highly recommend spending extra on the garlic naan! Chefs kiss read more

I really like Alibaba Kebab. My Father suggested we go here one night, and I'm glad we did. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala with rice and cheese naan. The food was piping hot and had a plethora of spices to it. They appear to do a large part of their business with SkipTheDishes, as food couriers kept coming in and out while we were there. The menu seems rather expansive and not just solely Indian food, so I have a feeling I'll be coming back here a lot. I also love the fact that they are located in the East Side and bringing people back here. Maybe I'll skip the kielbasa on Dyngus Day and just come here instead? read more
