Homemade fresh delicious food. It's 25 miles from my house but I will go there every week. Service was great. Yogurt sauce with the lavash bread (which was right out of the oven) was outstanding.

We drive 48 miles on weekends to eat at Ali baba. My husband is vegetarian and they have excellent choice of vegetarian dishes. Lavash is soooo fresh. Very fresh ingredients. Love chicken curry.

Cheap, good , casual Mid East food. No decor to speak of but the food is fresh, reasonable and good. If you're in the mood for middle eastern food this is ok and you really can't go wrong.

We've done takeout and it is the areas best ethnic oasis in the middle of the village. Very fresh ingredients, well prepared and generous servings. Lamb,chicken and beef-lamb combo is great. If you like this kind of cuisine this is your place!

Sorry for the pun - couldn't help myself---but in all seriousness---I've had Turkish food in many restaurants out there, and Ali Baba remains one of the best there is---and at the price offered---a steal! I love the Ali Baba in Troy, and this one follows in the footsteps of their great food to a T. If you like Middle-Eastern food... More
