Alibaba cafe and restaurant — Restaurant in Karnataka

I visited Alibaba Cafe and Restaurant in Bhatkal recently, and honestly, I was really impressed. We tried quite a few dishes and each one had something special.

The hummus was super smooth and fresh — probably one of the best I’ve had locally — and it came with warm, soft pita bread that made it even better. I wasn’t expecting much from the Chinese bhel, but it turned out to be a great crunchy, spicy snack — perfect to share.

The ramen bowl surprised me with how flavorful it was. The broth had depth, and the noodles were cooked just right. Then came the shish touk, which was juicy and perfectly grilled, full of that nice smoky flavor.

But the real winner for me was the pepper chicken steak — tender, well-seasoned, and served with sides that actually complimented it. And we couldn’t leave without dessert — the kunafa was warm, cheesy, and crispy on top. It was the perfect way to end the meal.

Overall, Alibaba has a great mix of flavors, and I’d definitely go back. If you're in Bhatkal and looking for something different,...

We recently had Alibaba Cafe and Restaurant cater for our event, and it was an absolute delight.

For the afternoon lunch, the buffet featured authentic Bhatkally biryani, onion kuchumber, stir-fried English veggies, and a refreshing tender coconut shot for dessert, along with fresh cut fruits, ice cream, and lime mint juice. Every dish was flavourful, fresh, and beautifully presented, perfectly balancing local taste with a touch of elegance.

In the evening, we went for a live BBQ counter where a mix of Indian and Middle Eastern kebabs was served hot off the grill, accompanied by fresh pita bread, labneh, hummus, and toum dips. The smoky aroma, juicy kebabs, and authentic dips created a truly memorable dining experience.

Our guests, many of whom were expats, were pleasantly surprised to find such high-quality, diverse cuisine in Bhatkal. Alibaba Cafe and Restaurant exceeded expectations both in food quality and service, proving that world-class catering is possible right here in our small town. Highly...

Alibaba Review

Recently opened restuarant with amazing vibes for family and friends outing. The best part is the interior and seating arrangements they have made. Its the only place in town to have 3 mehfil (seating down) compare to other restaurants with only 1 mehfil.

Talking about food, it was above average. Mutton soup which you get before Mandi was just marvelous. Alfaham was well cooked and mandi rice was also decent. Chicken Hunan and manchurian was almost similar with different shapes and taste is almost same and pricing was quite on a expensive side.

Other restaurants you may have to wait for long queues and hours but here that wasn't the case. So for family get-together this is the best place in town.

What we had? One and half alfaham mandi, chicken Hunan and chicken manchurian
