This was a very interesting spot. The entrance was not very enticing and there was no mood or atmosphere where I walked in slightly after lunch. Quite honestly I thought they were closed down. The lights were dim, you could see packing boxes everywhere and when I walked in the woman was on the phone. Though she quickly got off to ask what I needed it was still rather strange.
I took a glance at the menu, of which I had reviewed online to make sure they had the beef gyro I wanted. The chef then came out of the back and began to chop it all up with his knives little did I know this was going to be a fantastic sandwich.
In less than 10 minutes I had a fresh gyro wrapped up to go for about 12 dollars. I said my thank you and proceeded to eat my sandwich in the car.
The sandwich was delicious to be fair one of the best I have had. While I don’t think I would ever go there for a formal sit down as the location was not enticing. I would go back and order another takeout. The ratio of beef to vegetables was great and they didn’t over do the white sauce. Most gyros sandwiches are over done. The meat was not over cooked and the vegetables were well seasoned as well.
Kudos to the chef.

This is a Mediterranean delight. Went there for a friend’s birthday dinner and so glad to have chosen this place. The staff is extremely accommodating and helpful. They even played the birthday song while we cut the cake (which was really nice). Everything we ordered was so refreshing from the Tabouleh salad to the falafel platter and the Sahara chicken. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area. Super friendly on the pocket. Will definitely be back again.

Amazing food so happy we ended up choosing this place last minute. The food was fresh even though we came an hour before they closed.
I had the split pea with spinach soup and I also the grilled chicken sandwich and my girlfriend had the chicken tandoori both were sooo good.
The owner was very nice and the atmosphere felt like we walked into someone's family kitchen.
All the best.

Placed a large order (about 45 meals) with Ali Baba for a film project I am coordinating. Abraham & his team treated us like family with exceptional care. The food was a huge hit - we ordered a variety of items form the sandwiches to tandoori to falafel. Very fresh and fair pricing. Highly recommend!

Great food, friendly owners. Although the interior has not been updated in awhile the food was delicious with fresh ingredients and savory spices. Prices were reasonable. The falafel balls were delicious.

Best Mediterranean in upper Hoboken. HIGHLY recommend the chicken tikka/ grilled chicken sandwich w yogurt sauce and hot sauce ( I’ve tried various variations and this IMO is the most delicious/balanced)

Delicious middle eastern food: Humus, Falafel, Baba Ghanoche, & Tabouleh and those were the appetizer course!
Grilled Rib Eye steak smothered with onions & mushrooms& garnished with thin slices of zucchini and red onions: yum!

The service was overall good. But sahara chicken was dry and felfels were greasy. The skirt steak was not seasoned. The only good point about food is that it's halal.
