Ali Baba Turkish Cuisine

This place was dope. Went here with my GF and her sister. Everything was incredible. That Turkish pizza, Lahmacun was my favorite. If you are looking for an authentic Turkish dining experience than look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent authentic Turkish food (just like what we had recently in Turkey!). Everything was good especially the freshly baked bread. The food was super flavorful and not salty. So happy they have imam bayildi which is one of my favorite eggplant dishes and so rarely offered in NYC Turkish restaurants. Also impressed they have künefe which is also less common in NYC (although this one was not as good as künefe in Turkey). The service could be improved. A few things were off. I ordered ayran and had to remind the waiter twice yet he gave the other table that came in after my group the ayran and told me that was the last one. Also had to remind them to fill water. But overall food wise definitely recommend this place.

I had their Lentil Soup ($10), which is a puree, it had too much pepper for my taste. As my main course I had the Mixed Cold Appetizer Plate ($24), it comes with Balloon Bread, seen in one of the pictures included here. The items on the plate are, as stated on the menu, the chef's choice, so I asked that they include nothing spicy, they respected that request. I enjoyed four of the five appetizers on that plate, the hummus was bland. I took the platter home and photographed it there. I ate there a second time and ordered the Mixed Cold Appetizer Plate again, and it was almost completely different than the last time I had it. The waitress replaced one of the items that I did not like at all with a different appetizer. If you order Shish Kabab, tell the waiter how well you want it cooked, otherwise it is likely to be served well done, which was tasteless.
