Run of the mill Middle Eastern Shwarma and Falafel chain. I came here for the Shishtouk special. Two sjisj touk for 10.99. Was both my breakfast and lunch. Got both of them all dressed with pickled cabbage, lettuce, hummus and tahini plus hot sauce. They were filling but nothing to write home about.
The menu options at this location are limited with no roast potatoes (a staple of every cuisine it seems) or lentil soup.

Well it’s always crowded and I always see Ryerson students come and grab a quick bite, so decided to give it a try.
Inside you line up and all the usual dishes are on order. Schwarmas and salads seem on point and pretty much what you expect. I got the falafel and was not disappointed. Décor and service are pretty much what you would expect, for a schwarma place, and given the reputation, they have nothing to worry about.
Bonus points for the counter at the cashier that specializes in many types of baklava.

One of my favourite spots for a late night snack. The chicken shawarmas are the best. I’ll admit the place looks kinda sketchy but I’ve never been disappointed.

Small portions… Couldn’t believe how small the shawarma pitas are. I ordered a beef and chicken and the pitas were basically flat. Service was crap I asked for no radish and cabbage and they proceeded to put both. I heard another person order and they asked for extra everything obviously they have been there before and experienced Toronto’s smallest shawarmas. Funny how when I went to another alibabas on the north end of the city everything was great. Won’t be returning

Yes, just like everybody else I am a fan of the falafel special on tuesdays! Two falafels for the price of one $ 4.50 now I think. The good thing is because of the demand the falafels are fresh too! I will sometimes pick it up for the family and take it home for dinner.
The falafels are good and great for students because you can eat one right away and save the second one for later. You can also discretely eat it in class and don’t have to worry too much about your food smell spreading across the class. Their rice and other meats also look good but I have never tried them. They sell baklava as well, for the days you are craving something sweet but crunchy!

The shawarma here is sooo good. It’s their sauce that they r using. It’s just yummmm.
The reason I am giving it 2 stars is because if the service .
For some reason it feels like the servers give me n my friends attitude. It doesn’t look like they r happy to serve us. So the customer service is bad. They never smile to me when serving it’s like a straight face with an angry look. Anyone else get that ?
Also I hav found a fly in my shawarma a once… so I am on the look for a new shawarma place to give business too.
But no lies so far this is the best shawarma iv tasted… sucks the service is bad

Ali’s is about cheap eats. It’s a quick-fix solution for when you’re urgently in need of some tasty arab food. Beef is a bit dry, chicken shawarma is decent but the chicken shish tawook is awesome. Made from chicken breast it’s skewered chicken breast (like souvlaki) tossed onto a fresh pita with your choice of fillings. Want more chicken? Try the Ali’s half chicken dinner and get 2 legs of chicken on a bed of rice with salad for like $ 8. With a little side of hummus and that killer garlic sauce is mmm mmm good. Not recommended before a date though. (garlic)

I used to eat at this location a LOT. Until I got food poisoning from a chicken shawarma sandwich in July 2012. That being said, I can’t give this place a bad review because I ate there probably upwards of 50 times without incident and the shawarma and lentil soup are fairly good. Just be advised that if you eat at a place with this type of hygiene, (i.e. no air conditioning in 38 degree heat with two huge spits pumping out heat) you are rolling the dice and taking your chances with food-borne illness. Stock up on charcoal caps!

I went here for a falafel sandwich on the weekend. Really tasty, and only $ 3.99. My friend had a falafel salad, which was an impressive serving size, but I didnt see how much she paid. And one other friend had the chicken platter, he said it was good.
Service was friendly and fast. The place was pretty busy. We didnt stay in to eat as there is no a/c
So today I went to another shawarma place in the area (queen and church). I had a falafel, although it was slightly larger, the Ali Baba’s had better flavour (and was .50 cents cheaper!)

I go here frequently for the falafel sandwiches. I made the mistake of getting the daily specials which was 2 falafel sandwiches. Complete rip off and waste of time. they are missing half the ingredients and are dry and tasteless. I was completely unimpressed. Normally would give them a thumbs up but this was appalling.

With all the Ali’s baba stores over the city, I had very high expectation. I was happy to see that the place was still open at 9 PM and went there for a late dinner. The place was Si’s clean, which is one of my pet-peeve. Also, the food was not as tasteful as I wished it was. I had better shwarma. The food was somehow not very tasteful, mostly blend. Overall, it was not bad, just average. Be careful of their «deal of the day» as some will not save you much money (something like 50 cents for 2 sandwiches). The servers behind the counter were friendly, which is always a nice thing. Not sure if I will go back to that specific location.

Walking into this place, it feels like a typical middle eastern place. Walking up to order some food, you really feel like it. The staff were very quick and wanted everything as fast and efficient as possible. I barely had time to think of what I wanted before they had thrown everything together and stuck it on the toaster. Fast food indeed.
The food itself was good. Nothing amazing but good. Also very fast. Just would be expecting a few more smiles from the cooks in places like this.

I often stop at this location for a late night schwarma. Last night I was greated by a very friendly server behind the counter. I just grabbed a couple chicken schwarmas with all the toppings, including the spicy sauce, because it’s a must.
On this particular occasion I questioned the server on the extra charge for the pickled turnip. I mentioned that the last time I was in they told me there was an additional charge for the turnip and I asked if this was something new or if it had always been that way. I was informed by the server that sometimes the day staff like to «make a little more money» by charging extra for certain toppings. Just something to be aware of it you ever go in during the day.
What I like about this location is the close proximity to my home. I do find their schwarmas to be a bit salty, but that goes for most schwarma places I’ve eaten at.
I’ll definitely continue to go back again and again for a late night snack!

I came here because of everyone else’s reviews. I am now mildly ticked at everyone else who reviewed this place.
Maybe because I came here at midnight, but all the foodstuffs tasted stale. The veggies had clearly been sitting there since morning time, the shawarma meat was tough and had no flavour.
I went downstairs to the bathrooms (a mistake — I know) but I was desperate, people! A dark dingy hallway ended in a closet and a mildly disgusting stall.
The disappointment of the shawarma platter was topped off by a poor drink choice. Now, this isn’t necessarily the owner’s fault since they can’t control the packaged drinks that come into their store. But I was just so excited when I saw bottled Aryan. I hadn’t had any in ages and had never bought any that wasn’t made in house. But ick! It tasted like sour buttermilk, I couldn’t stomach more than a few sips.
Sorry, Ali Baba’s, but I will be going elsewhere when the Midnight-Middle-Eastern-Craving strikes again.

Cheap prices, but the shawarma is just too small for an entire meal. The staff is not friendly at all and asking for extra tabbouleh on my shawarma resulted in the guy asking his manager if it was ok.
I would avoid this place and walk a little bit further to Pita Land.

Felafels are amazingly tasty as in other locations, & the felafel sandwich is a great quick lunch option that’s full of deliciousness and flavour. Handy to Y&D Square, Ryerson university.
More like a 3.5 because of the layout of the place (it can get really crowded around the counter area); there’s a little bit of seating if you’d like to stay and stuff your face.

i am a big fan of this place.
it was a long time since i had schwarmas, but upon visiting TO, they were everywhere.
we tried Ali Baba first since it was a couple of blocks from where we staying. wow it was good. i really enjoyed it. the guys working there are friendly, they grill the meat upon ordering it, and they grill the sandwich w/o the foil paper so it gets nice and crispy.
i tried a couple of other places in TO, but i still enjoyed Ali Baba the most.

I am a big shawarma fan and the thing that brought me into this little joint was the amazing smell that hit me while I was walking by. I quickly ordered a chicken shawarma with everything on it. Getting their specialty sauce (made in-house) is a must. The man behind the counter swiftly put my food together, wished me a good day and assured me that I would be back.
He couldn’t be more right. It was the best shawarma I’ve had in a long long time.
