Description:
Family-owned (two brothers and their mom, by way of Syria), Ali Baba -- which has moved from its longtime Lower Greenville address to a spot near the Lakewood Theater -- still draws crowds for its good, cheap Middle Eastern fare during limited dining hours. Don't be surprised to find a line of customers clamoring to get in. This plain, tiny place packs them in for great rich hummus, marinated beef, grilled chicken, falafel, and Syrian and Lebanese dishes like stuffed kibbe. The tabbouleh and signature rice dish, made with vermicelli and sautéed in seasoned olive oil, are standouts. If you find yourself in North Dallas rather than downtown, check out the newer, larger, and more upscale-looking Ali Baba in Richardson at 2103 N. Central Expwy. (tel. 972/437-1222).

A neat alternative

Delish hummus tabbouleh and moussaka . Fresh baked pitas. Fun server and ok atmosphere. We'd go back.

Hard to choose my favorite!
-
I can't decide if the gyros or the Shish twok (chicken and rice) is my favorite dish! The lunch buffet (all you can eat) is a logical solution, but they don't have everything...

As good as Middle Eastern gets in Dallas
-
OK, I go to the one in Richardson. The food is excellent and very delicious. No better way or place to be introduced to Middle Eastern Cuisine.
