Ali Baba - Lexington

This used to be a grocery store restaurant. Not they have converted it into a restaurant full time.They have a variety of Mediterranean/Indian/Pakistani food items. They have buffet on weekends. Be ready to wait a while after the food is ordered unless you are getting the buffet.

The food is very delicious. The chef is from Pakistan, and she cooks authentic Pakistani/North Indian food. I highly recommend ordering the Chicken or Goat Biryani Rice coupled with a Chicken Chargha leg quarter. Top it off with a hot cup of Masala tea. If you're more in the mood for a Middle Eastern flavor, definitely try the Chicken Shawarma wrap. The food here is flavorful, delectable and mouthwatering.

Great food! The falafel plate was super delicious. The rice that came with it had a hint of cinnamon that made the rice super scrumptious. The plate came with plenty of food. The service was very friendly. I can't wait to return.Vegetarian options: The falafel dish was the only vegetarian dish, which was great, that I could tell. I wish they offered more.

We came from out of state, made a stop here for lunch break. First, everything we ask for in the menu, is not available. So we were forced to get chicken biryani, which was prolly 2 days old, dry, with barely any meat. portion was wayy too small for that price and food was horrible.

So amazing. Food was stellar, the people are so friendly. Will definitely come back! <3 Thank you!
