Reviews for Ali Baba Family Restaurant in El Cajon, CA
Food is okayish, not that great Service is good Don?t try desserts here
Great place for large family dinners. With generous portions at affordable cost I fed. My family of 6 for 170$ and we all had... extra food to take home after we where all full. Amazing flavor, yje shwarma is my favorite and the waiter is very friendly. This place is highly recommended by me. Read more
It was such a sad experience. I've always had such a great time and the staff has always been pleasant. The waitress they have... on staff was terrible. As I looked around families that came after us received their pita and hummus before us. I had to ask forit after our meals already arrived. When requesting the bill it took her fifteen minutes, not because it was busy or because shewas helping others but because she was at the register laughing with her coworkers. Her attitude was unpleasant from the momentshe began waiting at our table. Its disappointing because the owner is always nice just like he was last night and the food isamazing. I dont think ill be going back because of the poor service. I'm not sure what I did to irritate the young lady. Read more
The server was very kind and service was quick and professional. Only thing I wouldn't order again is the sandwiches. The wrap... was very tough to chew on both my wife's and my sandwich. We ordered there combo of hummus and whatnot and they were very good.Funny thing is the bread that came for dipping was delicious and easy to chew. We'll be back! Read more
Authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food made right. I've been going here for years and they have never once disappointed.... Freshly-made dishes with all of the staples (always get the hummus and fresh bread!) plus some lovely twists and options. Makesure you bring friends and family, because they are both generous and gracious in service and portion sizes; their menuliterally specializes for large, hungry parties. Truly fit for a king!

THATS THE BEST FISH I EVER HAD IN YEARS!!!! Delish!!!! I ordered the fried Pompano fish and my wife got The Qouzi (Lamb Shank)... with Rice and stew. Then we got spiced tea with Kunafa which also was soooo yummy! We ran out of milk for my 2 year old so theywere so generous to give warm milk for her :) Read more
This place is a long time local pearl. Good food and nice people. Be sure to bring your appetite when you walk in because the... serving is more than enough. Read more
We love the Family Feasts! Order for fewer people than in your group, since the amounts are massive. Lamb, beef, and chicken... are all included along with salad, bread and humus, and rice and wheat. If you want an individual meal, the friendly staff arehappy to describe dishes and advise you. They have lovely baklava for dessert, but I've never left room to order this. Greatfor groups - they have large tables and also an event room. Read more
