| - This is a great deal for the price, and very delicious, too (at least for most dishes). You will get large portions and pay little, if you choose from the a la carte menu instead of the platters. I would recommend getting a few a la carte items.
The baba ghanooj is my favorite. So is the spinach and lentil soup, which has a very unique taste with lemon juice. So is the kibbe; one of the best I have had ever. So is the halwa bi-jibin (which is dessert made of dough, pistachios, and rose water). There was one point in time I was addicted to this dessert.
The "healthy variety" and "vegetarian special" are combination dishes, which are even better deals. I usually replace the hummus in the special with baba ghanooj since I think their baba ghanooj is a lot better. Grape leaves are OK, but the veggie version is not as good.
The portions are large enough that if you get three items, you will likely have stuff to take home. And some items (dips) come with pita bread.
I often take out from Ali Baba, and they have always been timely.
My girlfriend says the open faced hummus pita is excellent, but Ihave not tried it.
The only bad experience I had: mousakka is not real mousakka. It feels synthetic. Don't even try it.
