Alibaba serves Afghan food (chaplee kabob and so forth, with excellent, excellent rice) as well as donair and shawarma and even some western items (burgers); it has undergone at least one change in ownership and I think that it's now really firing on all cylinders. Today I got my usual which is the chaplee kabob plate, spicy minced beef patties with that excellent rice, and I also got something... more
Best chicken burger ever.
It takes a little time to get your order, but that's because everything is made fresh. Well worth the wait.
Delicious Afghan "Fast Food" Style.
Decided To Try This Place And The Food Was Absolutely Delicious.
I Ordered The Kofta Kabob Entree Which Came With Real Afghan Rice (Not The Cheap Basmati Rice) But Long Grain Afghan Rice Which Had A Nice Seasoning In It As Well Came With Afghan Naan, Salad And Dal Nakhut. The Amount Of Food You Get Is So Worth The Price!.. I Couldn't Finish Half Of It And...

Ordered the kafta kabob and chicken kabob. Both were really tasty! Definitely going back!
This place is slow. 30 Minutes for a donair and falafel wrap! It is the worst tasting place in Calgary. Eat here if you like c@!%!y food and to die of old age before you get it food.
We eat here periodically. The food is good and price is right. Occasionally get a free desert. It can be a little slow to get a few gyros/pitas to go but not a big issue.
Parking can be tricky. We normally park in the back of the McDonald's parking lot and walk around the corner.
We tried donair sandwich and the lamb tikka kebab with rice. I liked the rice, and nothing wrong with the kebab. If I go again, and I would, I will not overfill the pita bread with lots of stuff. I tried lots of toppings and ended up with massive sandwich and a bit messy :). Still it was fine.
The gentleman with his wife were very kind.
AMAZING Kabobs! Haven't had kabobs like these in a while.
I love these places that have good food, friendly service, yet don't charge a gazillion.
The one downside of this place is it's more of a fast food joint than a sit-down restuarant, but there are places to sit down too. So go here for the good food, but not necessarily a place to be wined and dined.
Stopped in for a quick lunch! Friendly service and delicious food! Can't go wrong with a kebob :)
There's nothing like walking into a place and seeing three different kinds of meat rotating on a stick. Oh yes, Ali Baba's is one of *those* places and it's now my new favourite for shawarma (bakery counter included).
If you've ever heard me talk about meat, you'll know I love lamb. Those fuzzy little critters are just too tasty for their own good. It should come as no surprise that I came out...
