Ali Baba House of Kabob — Restaurant in Longwood

Where do I begin..

Time after time coming Ali Baba the experience is always magnificent from beginning to end. From the moment that we arrive we are greeted warmly and with smiles. The owner and staff are the most courteous and professional folks that one can encounter and they go above and beyond to make sure that the experience is phenomenal the entire time. Everyone puts in effort to make you feel welcome and at home and this is very important as I am always with my family and friends. I cannot commend them enough, as they will supersede expectations.

Now lets move onto the food...If you are looking for authentic and best tasting Persian food in the entire Orlando and neighboring area, this is the place to go. From the salads, appetizers and main dishes, everything comes out as ordered and the taste is unmatched from any other restaurants that we have tried, and they are many lol. Even through these tough times that we re facing with the current Pandemic, the food quality and taste has not changed and no corners are ever cut. Every dish that we have tried, we have enjoyed and that is why we continue to come back. The prices are incredibly fair and the amount of food you receive is more than plenty, but I assure you, it is so good that you will attempt to finish it all in one sitting. Now with what is happening, Takeout and Uber Eats is also an option which is great.

Overall, I cannot recommend them enough if you want great tasting food for great price, with large portions. Please give them a try and you will be pleased as the service from the Owners and staff is always great and makes you want to return. They deserve the recognition as they...

Extremely disappointed! Wish I had read the reviews before wasting time, money, and expectations on my birthday dinner 2 days ago. I also agree that the good reviews are from their friends, and NOT by actual customers. I was a huge fan of the original restaurant, and was aware it was under new ownership- but didn't think it would be this bad. Walked in & was yelled at by an old Russian lady that didn't know where to seat us. Then shifted tables around that blocked us in. Then yelling in Russian back and forth to the servers while we were trying to enjoy the terrible food. For anyone to call the food good, traditional & authentic is hugely misleading.The tabbouleh wasn't even right - the tomatoes laid on top of the parsley.The desserts were American, like cake or something. The chicken was mostly legs & just not what you expect for $20 per person. Overpriced & so not authentic. It's sad how Ali Baba went from an authentic, fine dining, welcoming establishment - to THAT - Chinese Buffet mimic with a Russian flare. I remember the owner & his lovely wife - I hope they took their money & ran from this business deal where their original creation & name have been destroyed. I can make the dishes better myself - and I'm American! Never again. We had an amazing experience at RA Sushsi the night before on I-Drive, should have gone there for my birthday dinner. And spent less for...

DOUBLE CHECK your order each time, whether dine in or take out. Did take out, the guy charged me $60 at first. When he repeated the order, all seemed right. Then as I’m waiting for food and did the math, I got only $37 as my total. When I asked, he admitted the girl charged me 2 platters, just vs Kabab skewers only. He first said your difference is $13. Then I told him ring up and the do math, that seems less. He said oh yes it’s $23 refund rather. Then when the food finally came 20 mins of waiting, I asked hey can you give me a chili sauce. He proceeds to ring me up $.56. I’m like LOL are you really charging for this even after 20 mins of waiting? He goes “well I’m the one that gave you the money”. But the money he gave was incorrectly charged extra of my order? That was rude, I told him there’s something called customer service still, and I said it’s ok don’t worry about it. He said I’m getting you order so you can go. When he came back, I gave him $1 anyways as a tip, which would be 2 sauces worth money anyways, hoping he would get the point how rude, introverted and mannerless his customer service was.

The food is amazing, I’ve been eating here since I was a kid. The other server guy in past with the tattoo was such a great host. This guy really shames the reputation of my...
