| - Went to Ali Baba last night and that visit will most likely be my last. The food was great, some of the best I've found in Las Vegas. The service, on the other hand, was bad enough to offset the good food and make me want to never come back.
When I entered the restaurant I stood at the front for five minutes while the owner/manager did 'other things' and didn't even greet me. Finally I said "two please" and he very slowly grabbed two menus and found a table for me. The huge restaurant only had two tables occupied, but it still seemed like the host/manager/owner was having difficulty finding a table for me.
As far as food, i ordered a tabbouleh salad, kibbeh nayeh, and chicken shawarma dinner. I have no complaints about the food, it was quite good in fact.
When we finished eating it took one hour from the time we told the waiter we were "all set" to get the check and process our payment. Other than my table, there was only one other table occupied in the entire restaurant at this time, so its not like they were overwhelmed with business. Overall very strange service, as neither of the two employees that I saw in the restaurant seemed to enthused to satisfy their customers.
Again...food was good...service was terrible. I will not be returning to Ali Baba.
