Ali Baba House of Kabob - Longwood, Florida

The atmosphere of the restaurant is great and the service was incredible. Unfortunately the food dis not live up to the standards of good Mediterranean food. I liked the presentation but the flavor was off and for the price the hummus was not fresh and the kebab standard. The ice cream was good but it is vanilla mixed with pistachio and saffron, so maybe they can use more variety. Overall it was a good experience but I would not come back due to the food and price.

Ali Baba House of Kabob came highly recommended by my Persian friend, and it exceeded all expectations. The kabobs were cooked to absolute perfection, with tender, juicy meat that was full of flavor. The saffron rice was fragrant and fluffy, complementing the kabobs beautifully. What truly stood out were the desserts—both the saffron ice cream and the baklava were heavenly, with rich, authentic flavors that felt like a journey to the heart of Persian cuisine. The balance of sweetness and the unique touch of saffron made these treats unforgettable. The attention to detail in every dish speaks volumes about the quality and care that goes into their food. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience—you won’t regret it!

Persian food has a long, storied history that dates back many centuries. Ali Baba lets us taste this history today, providing a phenomenal dish, with incredible appetizers.

This is one of the few times I will say that the atmosphere and service claim a back seat to the delicious offerings.

I highly recommend the kabob (I mean, it's in the name ?), lamb or chicken (or both). My favorite. And you must try the rice if you have never had Persian food before. It's not crispy on top, but the taste is still there. The bread is also very good, which soaks up the meat and vegetable juices.

The naan is great with the many appetizers available.

Just a bit of a warning, come hungry because you will leave ready to take a nap.

Try the food eating in or to go. I have tried both and the quality doesn't suffer through travel.

Overall, I definitely recommend!

We celebrated my Mom’s birthday at Ali Baba. We are no Persian but we enjoy Persian food very much. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was recently renovated and it’s luxurious and comfortable at the same time. I especially want to thank our waiter Ender, he was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and extremely attentive. I can’t wait to go back and enjoin the food and atmosphere!! Thank you for giving my mom a great birthday!

We enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. The server was quick attentive and courteous, and the food was of good quality. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were rich. I endorse this eatery for those who appreciate a generous serving of protein. Unfortunately can’t say much about the ambiance or atmosphere.

We have a Persian friend that scouted out this place as it is (apparently) tough to find good Persian kabobs in Orlando. We didn't really have any expectations on what kind of quality we were going to get, but we had a really great experience! The aesthetics of the restaurant could use improvement - the inside seemed under construction or scattered. But we didn't mind the atmosphere. We were here for the food. And the food was fantastic! We got a mix of chicken and beef kabob dishes, and all of them were delicious. My girlfriend and I also got the roasted eggplant dip as an appetizer that comes with pita that was very tasty. Overall, we were happily surprised by this local restaurant and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for great quality Persian food!
