| - Ali Baba has been somewhere I wanted to try for a while, but I just came in a few days ago with a friend. We had an hour for lunch, and this was within walking distance of CMU.
First, if you have a strict hour for lunch, this is not the place to come. Service is not a priority. You will be brought your food and not much else and need to ask for a check. This part could really be improved. We were in the, mostly deserted, restaurant for an hour and fifteen minutes, and we rushed the waitress. She was sitting at a table playing on her phone for most of our lunch.
The Falafil Wrap ($6.45) was OK. The falafil part was yummy, but the pita was slightly chewy, which was odd. As others have mentioned the tahini sauce here was a bit more unique and very savory. I found it too be almost sour tasting but not in a bad way. Unfortunately, it was a bit over-powering for the wrap and would have been better on the side.
All in all, a cheap and decent stop for lunch on Craig Street but not terribly special.
