First off, I'm only writing about this place's supposed Persian food. It was CRAP! Even though the owner's Iranian, Koorosh, and there's a semi-grocery store right there, there were no fresh herbs and torshi (traditional Persian side dishes). I had Chelo Kabab Soltani which has one skewer of koubideh and one of barg kababs. The meat from the barg was... more

I've had more than one incident where I was overcharged and I had to have the cashier re-do my bill. I've also had friends overcharged on the buffet and the grocery. Their groceries are way too old and expensive. You ALWAYS have to check your bill twice, overcharging the customers seems to be a normal habit. more

We went for lunch around 2pm on a Saturday. I got the buffet while my wife ordered from the menu. The buffet was very mediocre, especially given the price. One can get wayyy more tasty Indian food (never been to any other Mediterranean restaurant in/around Orlando, so can't compare) at lesser price in many restaurants in/around Orlando. My wife had... more

This could easily turn into a 4 or 5 page rant about how incredibly shady this restaurant is, but i will try to exercise restraint. To be somewhat brief, i met a group of friends at Ali Baba on a saturday night for the buffet. One person in the group had literally called twice before making the reservation to verify... more

We saw a coupon in the paper for $19.95 instead of $26.95 for the dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday nights. The coupon encouraged us to try Ali Baba for the first time, so we made reservations for Valentine's Day on Saturday night. When we got there, we were told we might have to sit at a table with another... more

Our party of twelve each found much to love at the buffet. This is one of the few restaurants our vegetarians were happy. The entertainment is first class. We expected belly dancing, but were also thrilled with Spanish dances and extremely skilled dancers. We failed to bring a camera, but our group will record this dinner experience in our memories... more

the service is downright horrible. when i was younger, i practically grew up there and now everything is so commercialized, the staff is very dis-curteous and they dont explain anything to you, even though we were the ONLY people in the restaurant. they just ask you what you want to drink and tell you to go ahead to the buffet.... more
