★★★★★ In Kingston, this is the best restaurant for HALAL option. when ever we go there always enjoy the food. Food portions are good and they always serve with Salad or soup. Taste of all food is good and cook well. Posted on September 3, 2017

★★★★★ We went to this restaurant a few days ago. Found free parking close by (It was free after 5:30 pm on a Saturday). The waitresses were polite and efficient. The décor was also quite tasteful. The only thing lacking was music. A little bit of music in the background would have complemented the ambience. The food tasted great. We ordered Beef Sultani and Chicken Sultani. Both the dishes were amazing. We ate quite a lot but surprisingly the food did not seem too heavy. I suppose they did not use too much oil in the rice or maybe used a healthier oil. The complementary black tea they serve is the best tea I have ever had. I think they add rose water to it. They also sell this tea. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely go there again.

★★★★★ We came from Toronto and went to this restaurant for dinner. The food was fresh and flavorful and the serving was generous. They took order on the phone and delivered piping hot food to our hotel room for a small delivery charge. Highly recommend the bbq and shawarma platters. Posted on March 18, 2016

★★★★★ I am glad we chose this place to eat out in Kingston as we were just visiting. These reviews here helped us decide so I wanted to give back. The food was fresh, warm and delicious. It was just nice and didn't feel heavy even after eating a lot! The service was good. Keep it up! Posted on September 14, 2015

NR Everything is made from scratch! Fresh and delicious Posted on February 21, 2015

★★★★★ We were very pleased with the food served here. We ordered Sultani plate over the weekend trip to Kingston and it was worth spending $15.99 for a plate that served two of us with the additional order or baked potatoe with humus. Their lentil soup is really good and they also give free kawa to start with. You don't get this quality for such low price in Toronto. I highly recommend this place a must visit as part of your kingston tour. (10 min walk from downtown waterfron) Posted on August 11, 2014

★★★★★ This place is delicious! The platters are amazing!! Will definitely return :) very authentic and very good! Love it! Worth trying if you're in Kingston area. Posted on May 21, 2014

NR The original and friendly atmosphere of Alibaba is made even better by the delicious food, warm tea, and friendly staff. This is a lovely location for family dining, or even a quiet meal for one or two. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to eat, or spend the evening over a cup of homemade tea and friendly conversation. You will not be disappointed by the food, it leaves nothing to be desired. I especially recommend the garlic potatoes and the kabob koobideh. They are my favourites. Posted on November 26, 2013

★★★★★ We visit this place at almost every trip to kingston. The quality has significantly improved with new management. My favorites include chicken wrap and platter. One order is usually sufficient for the two. Posted on November 7, 2013

★★★★☆ I am visiting from Toronto with business colleague from USA, and looking for a Halal restaurant and found this via this website. Excellent food and service, strongly recommend Posted on October 1, 2013

★★★★★ I have been to Ali Baba enough to say that this is the best halal restaurant in Kingston. Their food is always fresh and healthy. My favourite dish is the lentil soup and shish kabab. Their shish kabab is absolutely delicious. Sometimes, I like to order shawarma mix, this dish comes with a large plate of hummus with olive oil and pita bread. The bread is hot and soft, perfect for eating with sharwama or hummus. Highly recommend! Posted on August 26, 2013

★★★★☆ The best middle eastern restaurant yet. They have amazing food, definitely my favourite. I use to travel a lot in middle east countries. The food at Ali Baba reminds me of the good memories I had there. Very authentic. I would totally recommend this place to everyone, if they're in the mood for middle eastern food. Posted on August 25, 2013

★★★★★ Delicious!!!! Fresh pita, amazing hummus, great grilled meats, all so yummy. We always have great experiences. The service is great, the food is fast. My friends and I love this place very much. It becomes our regular hang out place. We go there almost once a week. If you love middle eastern food. This is definitely a restaurant to visit.

★★★★★ It was quit a special experience dinning at Ali baba. We have heard many good things about this restaurant from other friends and finally decided to celebrate our daughter's birthday there. We ordered dolma as our appetizer, beef sultani, shawarma plate and Ali baba chicken as our main course meal. The meals came with two delicious lentil soups. After dinner, we had baklava for desert. The portion of each meal was pretty big, we couldn't finish and had to take a lot home. The meat were cooked perfectly, juicy, soft and full of flavour. The service there was also very good as the waiter was constantly checking to ensure that we had an enjoyable time. There are so much more items on the menu, we are defiantly coming back to try more new things. Posted on July 17, 2013

★★★★★ I have been eating at Ali baba many times. I always go eat during lunch hours because of their awesome lunch special. The sizzling and delightful kebab with home made garlic potato and salad. The garlic sauce is definitely unique, they make the garlic sauce everyday, the rich garlic flavour is always enjoyable. As a student, the price is very affordable. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ The food here is excellent and full of flavour. The portions are quite large for the dishes and as such, you never leave feeling hungry. The service is great and the waitresses are always friendly. I went during Ramadan and saw that they stayed open longer in order to serve the needs of Muslims who were fasting all day. Highly recommended. Posted on July 25, 2012

★★★★★ If you are looking for a great halal resturant to eat, Alibaba Kabab is the place to go. We had a such wonderful experience eating there. We will definiately going back again. Posted on July 24, 2012

★★★★★ I relish everything on my plate when I eat from this wonderful mediterranean restaurant that has an amazing staff with great service. The food is fresh and I love the delicious BBQ kabab which goes very well with the flavoured tea. My friend enjoyed the falafel rap that is only $2.99 for a nice big size. There are unique antiques decorating the room, a laid-back yet fun ambiance and it's right downtown so you have to make your way to this absolutly delightful spot. Highly recommended :) Posted on July 24, 2012
