Stephanie served the best food and she was as terrific as the food was good with atmosphere. Authentic Mediterranean & Lebanese food. Its worth the travel time near our favorite hike North Table Mountain.. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Our compliments to the chef!

I ordered the king combo, and everything was delicious. I’ve always been wanting to try grape leaves and it was my first time with them. Definitely loved them! The falafels were so crispy and flavourful, along with all the meats. The food was all great. It was just cold, but that’s not their fault, it was the delivery that took long. So if a little cold it was good, can’t imagine how it would taste like fresh! Thank you for the great portion of food and the authentic flavours of food!

This place is soo cool! It has an amazing vibe and atmosphere. The employees are extremely welcoming, especially E & Aysha. They are the coolest waitresses Ive met.

The Kobidieh Kabob is amazing as well as the salad. This little restaurant has THE best humus in the Denver area. Its a slow service, but the food is worth it. Plan for time and great food.

Ordered their version of the veggie sampler, that Ive tried at multiple other similar restaurants, it was tasteless. Bland. Their rice tasted very underdone, crunchy. And just lacked the flavors I expected. Service was the same, not greeted when I entered. When I asked about my take out order, I was treated with what I felt was utter disrespect, when the (what Im assuming was the wait staff) just pointed.Very disappointed, wont be back.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The decor is amazing. The food is so good- its one of those places Ive tried multiple things, and everything is delicious. The wait staff is kind and courteous. Ive brought multiple friends here, no one is ever disappointed. If you havent been here yet, youre missing out

We were in a trip to Colorado for a week. This is the place wherewe got the best halal food and service. The guy was very welcoming and his service was awesome. Food was delicious, hot and fresh. The interior design will give you a Mediterranean feeling. I would definitely visit this place again if I come to Colorado again.

We usually enjoy the food here but please, please work on the service. I don’t know if we experienced a bad night, but everyone around us had issues with their order. We waited 10-15 minutes to be acknowledged but had to walk to the front to get our own water and ask for service. The gyro entree was very dry. The salad served with each meal (lettuce/cucumber/tomato) is covered in cheap Italian dressing - not at all desirable and a huge waste of food. Overall, this place would be better off if they evaluated their food waste - the portions are massive!

Went to both the Boulder and Golden restaurant 2 days apart. Gyro meat in Boulder was dry and the chicken shawarma in Golden was so dry I choked. Used to be better. Waitress said oh. Wont be going back to either and I am a frequent customer.

Always a great experience at this location. We have been going here for 15+ years. Food is always good and consistent. If you dont know what to get, try kobideh kabob platter. Service is usually prompt. Its usually very busy on weekends. Best middle eastern food in Denver metro.

Review №21

I would give it negative stars if I could. This place used to be good and now its trash. I ordered the meat lovers - the meat was dry and burned, the rice felt like it was week old broken rice from the bottom of the pot. No one in our party finished their food, it was that bad. There are plenty of Mediterranean food options much better than this place.

Review №22

I could make it 100x better at home. Hummus has too much tahini. Falafel made hours ago. Salty. I never write bad reviews - just disappointed.

Review №23

Service was terrible, sitting outside. Took about 15 minutes before we could order, the servers don’t communicate with each other, we were brought food but no drinks or utensils in the beginning. I think our dog got better service than we did.Chicken wasn’t cooked through. Some of the food was really tasty but my husband’s raw chicken stole both our appetites. Not happy with the over all experience.

Got there at 2:29 on a Sunday. Restaurant had many dirty tables. No one was cleaning. They were busy with the to go orders and not paying attention to the dining in customers. The young guy that was supposed to clean was more worry about the TV than anything else. Thirty minutes later, they were not able to find our order. We just left. They offer us bad customer service and a filthy restaurant.

The ambiance was nice and the small fountain gave nice background noise. We were seated immediately and tended to. We all got hummus with our meals and it was really really really good. It took about 30 min for our food to come out and unfortunately my order was wrong. They did however quickly fix the issue.

Review №31

Generous portions, very fresh salads and vegetarian dips like the hummus and Baba ghanoush. The chicken shawarma lunch platter was huge for the lunch special but it tasted like they just warmed it up in the microwave as the rice was piping hot and tasted more freshly made. The spinach pie was delicious - freshly made dough was so good! We were hoping the pita would be freshly made in house like the spinach pie but it was store bought and heated up. Maybe they should start doing that? :) thanks and we will be back!

My friend turned me on to Alibaba. This was my first visit and it is some of the best Mediterranean food Ive had in a long time. He and I split a chicken and beef kabob and both the chicken and beef were excellent. The inside is very deceiving its very traditional and the ambience was awesome. Definitely will be eating here again.

Food was good, ambience was good but the waiting time was pretty long.. almost they took an hour to serve... they do not have enough people to serve. They do not even note down the order, after an hour time, coming with a wrong food which was not ordered, when asked, another 20 mins it will take to bring the food.. very bad experience

Review №45

We were impressed with the atmosphere carried by customer pictures and the menu seemed to carry refinements beyond what we had experience before in Syrian cuisine establishments.The taste didnt disappoint. From the tabouleh with the perfect mix of mint and cilantro and the babaganoush rich in a flavor to the Kabob meats and seasoning, we felt satisfied especially after seeing these plates from a travel show.They were out of carrot juice but the strawberry replacement was tasty and not overly sweet. MJ brought up the baklava he had just made and it made the end of the lunch much more enjoyable. If its not too busy, youll enjoy talking to him about your plate options and the culture they came from.

Nice atmosphere, good food. Poor server was all by himself taking care of the whole restaurant. Worth the wait, recommended.

Review №47

We pick up from the Ali Baba on 32nd fairly frequently. We were in Golden yesterday, though, and our takeout order was a disaster. Told a few minute wait and waited for around 45 minutes. They ran out of baklava during the wait. Recieved a quasi apology for baklava, but no acknowledgement of the 45 minute wait. When we finally got the food, it was good, but less gyro than we would normally get from the other location. Will likely steer clear of this location going forward.

Review №53

Good food, if you can get it? Have ordered dinner, only to be told 20 mins later they ran out of gyro and it would be 45 mins to cook more. Most recently it took 20 mins before someone brought a glass of water and took our order. 15 - 20 mins later they told us they lost our order. Lost a customer.

Me & my husband went here for dinner tonight. We are from Texas & visiting Colorado for a few days. Since it had great reviews we decided to give it a go. & when I tell you we are in love, we are in love. Their customer service is amazing & so is the food. They serve salads & hamus without a charge as well. Love the ambiance as well. A must go guys !!! 👌💯

We ordered beef koobideh and chicken shawarma, the shawarma didn’t taste authentic it tasted more Indian, and the koobideh was good. The pides were great! Great decor and service. Also, they said the food was halal.

Came here for lunch with a friend. Great service and food! The person running the register/front and taking/serving our orders was so nice. He even gave us some baklava with no charge at the end! (Which was totally amazing btw.) Also, their hummus is also AMAZING. And I don’t really like hummus, but I love theirs! I’ll be back for sure!

Genuine lebanese restaurant! To my knowledge, this place is owned and run mostly by a lebanese family, and I love that! They have servers that are also arabic who also know their way around the menu and the food variance and selection. Their service was splendid; I felt at home. The food portions were very generous as well! Definitely worth a visit.

We tried the vegetable combination and falafel combination entrees and were very pleased. There was a ton of food that came with both especially the vegetable plate and all very delicious. My favorites were the tahini dip with the pitas, the tabulleh salad mixed in with the rice and of course their delicious hummus with the falafel. 😋👌

Review №83

This place is decent. Wouldnt say its the best middle eastern food youll ever eat, but it definitely hits the spot. I ordered the pies, pizza and shawardma. The pies were mostly dough and very little filling. The Spinach pizza was not the greatest, but cheesy. The shawarma was good, but really dry. Overall, our server also did not pay a lot of attention to us. So dont know if Ill go here again.

Excellent authentic Medetranian food....Reminds me the taste of Syrian /Lebanese touch.Decore: themed middle eastern reflections. Clean hospitable ambiance.Kabab, awsaal,lamb cubes, well marinated and grilled.Quantity served was overflowing. Moderately priced. Customer would feel like being feasting himself. Worth visiting for residents of Golden area, suburbs and tourists.
