Ali Baba in Berlin

The prices and menus shown online are different. Bookings made through the website couldn't be finalized, so the discount code couldn't be used. The burgers were good. Unfortunately, the fries weren't tasty. The staff behind the counter were friendly and helpful.

Food was delicious. Unfortunately, the place is a bit small, cramped, and stressful. The food in the bread isn't well packaged, so you end up with very little sauce on top, and the sauce runs through the packaging, making a mess. I got some strange looks when I paid because I didn't have the exact change. Edit November 2025 I regularly order a falafel makali plate here. It's simply AMAZING 😍 Therefore, now ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The order was absolutely top-notch!! I'd gladly order again anytime ;)

Huge portions that taste absolutely amazing. Hit the spot!!!! (Delivery is also super fast + free ayran 💋) Highly recommended.

Very friendly and fast service, my halloumi plate was lovingly prepared and very tasty

The food was quite tasty. We had a platter and burgers from next door.

"A very disappointing experience with the pricing and communication policies." 1. The deposit issue: "We were confronted with the fact that a deposit was suddenly charged at the checkout for imported beverages that were clearly labeled as deposit-free. There was a complete lack of transparent information for the customer." 2. The offer issue: "Furthermore, promotional offers advertised online were not honored in the store. Attempts to clarify this via email went unanswered. The customer service is unacceptable."

Best || Delicious || Cheap || Good quality || Turkish cuisine || Ali Baba Plater || Falafel ||👌🏻💯

Very good shawarma, super tasty, would definitely order again.

The best falafel!!! Delicious. The cakes are also good. The mint tea is so fresh that I drank 3 of it. The decor is excellent, a cozy atmosphere with a beautiful oriental touch. We stayed a good time, just for the relaxed atmosphere. I recommend it.

Really great falafel wrap for super reasonable price - thanks guys ☺️

Very tasty food and fair prices

If you're craving falafel, this is the place to go. Delicious chicken and super fresh.

truly THE BEST falaffel sandwich in town... BY FAR fair price for huge sandwich with 4-5 falaffel, tabbouleh, hummus and salad :-) consistent quality for many years now

Unfortunately, I made the same mistake again... on weekend evenings, Alibaba produces on an assembly line for Lieferando and UberEats, everything that isn't eaten on site is carelessly thrown together, the wrong sauce, 3 tiny pieces of halumi in bread... Mega FAIL‼️

The food unfortunately didn’t meet my expectations. When I opened the box, everything was mixed together in a messy way — sauces like hummus, garlic sauce, balsamic vinegar, and yogurt dressing were all combined with the salad and meat, which made the overall look quite unpleasing. I tried a little, but it didn’t feel very appetizing, and I couldn’t finish the meal. The taste might be okay for some, but the presentation and mixing of everything together made it hard to enjoy. I think if the items were packed separately or presented more neatly, the experience could be much better.

This is the best food from Libano that I have tasted in my life..super recommended

Ordered food for pickup and was surprised when I got home that none of the dishes were right. Still delicious, but it's a shame when you order the special tasting platters and only get the simple plate instead.

Super tasty, everything fresh and homemade! You can't miss it!

easily the best showarma i have had. really big and suuuuuuper tasty

My go to place to grab some dinner! Delicious meal at a very pocket friendly cost! Quantity and service all pretty smooth!

Pleasant evening here, make sure to get ali baba plate it hits different

I tried shawarma, it was on of the delicious shawarma I have ever eaten. Highly recommend this place

I've been a regular customer for many years, but the new owner is so incredibly rude that I refuse to visit this store again. There are plenty of other shops in the area that are even better...

We had a shawarma sandwich. It was really delicious and the portions were really large. Highly recommended!

I was there yesterday and have been coming back for a long time. Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant situation yesterday. It was 11:00 PM, and since the website says they're open until midnight, I went there to order a falafel plate to eat right away. I did – the lady kindly took my order and offered me a seat. My waitress pointed out that they also offered a mixed plate with falafel and kofte – I was immediately in the mood! When I asked if I could have kofte with my falafel plate, the man came up to me, grumbling and with a raised finger, and said: "Listen, my friend, you can't get anything here – and if you do, it's only to go." I was very shocked, since I had only asked if I could have kofte with it, and the website said the shop was open until midnight. He then said, "Listen, buddy, it doesn't matter what's on the internet. If I say it's over, then it's over." I understand if they close early, but I think it's impossible to communicate it that way. I won't go there again. It's a shame...

Delicious, tasty, and a super friendly team. Indoor and outdoor seating available. All dishes are also available for takeout. Very professionally packaged. Highly recommended 👍👍

The fact that all burgers cost €6, are a reasonable size, and taste decent made me expect a good place, which didn't disappoint. The atmosphere in the shop seemed okay. I'd be happy to go back 😁

Good and tasty food. Friendly staff.

The reviews don't lie... we had a falafel plate, and what we got was like a meal from a 5-star restaurant. The price was unbeatable at around €11. And you'll be full, no question. Highly recommended! You sit on the street. I like it.

Super delicious, authentic food. The staff is super friendly and pays attention to the little details. The price/performance ratio is unbeatable. We'd love to come back next time we're in Berlin.

super delicious, nice people, great shop👍

Alibaba has been a local institution for decades! And I don't mean the burger joint! The plates and turnovers are exceptionally delicious and fresh. I've been coming here for almost twenty years, with or without visitors, because the plates are all amazing. Pictured here is a falafel halloumi turnover. The price is truly more than fair! Service is friendly and fast. I can't believe I haven't written a review yet, but I'm here to make up for it. Keep it up, Alibaba 👏🙏💕🫰

The staff is very very friendly, the food was excellent, I was very happy

I ordered two vegetarian platters from Ali Baba via Uber Eats. The orders arrived, and a huge pile of meat was stuffed into our food. After I called the restaurant, they were unwilling to accommodate me, as the food was now inedible for us and we could have just as easily set fire to the €18. That's completely unacceptable, sorry.

The food is delicious and the burgers are very large. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. I'd definitely go back. The wait time is short, but when it gets a bit busy, you might have to wait. The staff is very friendly. The prices are reasonable.

Very friendly and helpful staff and delicious food, thank you for the great experience!!!

Terrible, terrible, beyond terrible, we have never eaten such a bad lahmacun anywhere, they forgot to put minced meat in it, they smeared it with tomato, when we said that it was terrible, the guy grinned 😡 If you say service, the road is unhygienic, the road is filthy everywhere.

I had to pay in cash, even though people before me had paid with a card (I did that months ago, too). What's up with that? I don't want your cash, I want to pay normally! The food is delicious, but the customer isn't respected.

Best falafel sandwich, great service and fair prices.

Delicious food, highly recommend

Nydelig mat, stor porsjon. Beste shawarma vi har smakt. Svært fordelaktig pris, hyggelig og rask betjening. Trivelige omgivelser

The pieces of meat were too thick and some were burnt. It was actually tasty, but when you order it, everything is mixed up and ruined.

Delicious and affordable, perfect!

Nice service and food. I will come back 🙏🏻

Good takeaway. Two burgers for €10. Funky beetroot coloured bread, and nice sweet sauce and tangy pickles.

I ordered two burgers with a black bun via Uber Eats – I got a completely normal bun. That alone is annoying, but somehow still bearable. What is absolutely unacceptable, however, is the inside of this "burger." I have never eaten anything so tasteless in my life. The meat was dry, falling apart, completely carelessly prepared, and didn't even have a hint of flavor. Selling something like this as a burger is a disgrace. Never again!

I ordered from this place via Uber Eats and the driver ripped me off with my food and I still had to pay.

The merguez sandwich consisted of two small cold merguez and only salad. I got my money back.

Always worth a visit when I'm in Berlin. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly.

I don't usually write reviews, but in this case, I can't keep quiet. Yesterday, my boyfriend ordered burgers from this place and got food poisoning!!!

Cash only. I'll go somewhere else where you can pay normally.

Very affordable, but the food quality is excellent. I highly recommend it! Grab a wrap or takeaway dish and enjoy a walk around Boxi.

Delicious shawarma plates. Friendly service. Good location in the heart of Friedrichshain.

Value for money and food is great!! One of my favorite shops in Berlin!

The tastiest and always friendliest shawarma shop in Berlin for years. Never left this place hungry and even hornier after a few hop torpedoes on the way home at night.

Amazing 1am burger. Quick service. :)

Mediocre burgers unfortunately served cold and strange service.

Amazing food at a great price! The staff is lovely and the food is always delicious :) my favorite Lebanese restaurant in the neighborhood

Fast, tasty, friendly and good value for money

Had a super delicious midnight snack at Ali Baba!! Affordable delicious food. You can order lots of stuff like shawarma, hummus, falafel, halloumi, makali and so much more. You can choose between sandwich or as a plate. The service was quick and friendly. Big recommendation!!✨

We went to this place for years and it was always good! If you order a plate, kindly ask for a mango sauce, it’s incredibly delicious!!!

Best restaurant quality food for the price

Amazing food, great location - very friendly and efficient staff. Look forward to coming back if I am in the neighbourhood. Thanks a lot!

Very tasty and huge portion – absolutely recommended!

Overly awesome food. The plate with falafel and shawarma mixed is mega. You have delicious hummus and other pastes, rice, delicious meat and salad. The Taboule Salad also tastes really good and is nice and big. 😋 There are also self-service seats inside and outside. A dog is actually not allowed unless it doesn't take up too much space and is quiet (it's very small inside). Bistro is a 10/10 👍🏼

Unfortunately, it has diminished significantly. Staff seems to have changed. Prices are rising, portions are getting smaller. Nowadays you can no longer get enough from one plate. Very unfortunate...

Wonderful plates 🍽, nice treatment 👌

Small but tasty and very child-friendly. Very reasonable prices.

Really small place to eat indoors but one of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants with huge portions

Tastes just like it should! Satisfied customer since 2012! Price and performance absolutely unbeatable!

What a delicious meal! Unimaginably delicious 😋 The Ali Baba platter is a dream. Keep it up!

Delicious food on the go when you don't want to go to a restaurant. The plates are unbeatable in terms of price (plate with kafta and shawarma for €12). But the food is also great when it comes to bread.

Very filing Delicious shawarma Affordable

He's a scammer, he owns apartments and rents them out, he doesn't return the deposit, and he's also a liar. He takes advantage of immigrants and locals. Don't trust them with food or anything. Bad person, Scheisse.

Delicious. Good value for money You can eat inside or outside

A real insider tip for burger lovers! I've been visiting this burger joint for several years, and the best part: the quality, taste and portion size remain consistently excellent! The burgers are always fresh, juicy and perfectly prepared, the fries are crispy and well seasoned. And the best part? The price for a whole meal (burger + fries + cola) is an unbeatable €9.90 - you'll hardly find it cheaper with this quality! The atmosphere is cozy, the employees are friendly, and the waiting times are pleasantly short. You can tell that people work here with passion. For anyone looking for a really good burger at a fair price, this is the perfect address. I'll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Absolute recommendation!

The best meal of my life! Please eat HERE. EVERYONE gets their money's worth here

Very good food at a reasonable price

Very good kebab, very good treatment from the young guy, a 10

Used to be my favorite place, but sadly since corona the prices almost doubled and the portions became much smaller. Shame.

Great food, great prices, great atmosphere, will be back

Very nice and warm staff, the shop is small but nice and of course very tasty food

I don't understand how, as an Arab, you can't provide bread with a shawarma plate?, in the Arabic kitchen no go I called specifically and asked that I would like bread with it 2 mix plates and 1 slice of bread sorry super disappointing who eats falafel without bread?????

Amazing falafel sandwiches! Good price and open until late in the night.

Very good food and nice staff 😌😊

Very good restaurant! The quantity of food is sufficiently enough for the price. The staff of this restaurant is also very helpful and considerate.

The food quality and amount was great. The staff were nice and friendly.

Wooooooooooooooowwwwwwww. But that was such a great taste explosion. Until the last bite. It was my first time with you and I tried the Kafta plate. Wh!!!!!! O!!!!!!!! Wh!!!!!!

Small, tasty and usually quick snack bar with few places on site. Always worth a visit!! 😋

Very nice and courteous hosts Tasty and quick 😋 Good price performance Gladly again, keep it up 👍

Sometimes i just wish that there's a police for frauds who claim for making a specific cousin..!! This food is nothing like Lebanese food, it doesn't taste like it, it doesn't look like it .. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT LEBANESE FOOD!

Get 2 ayran for free🤠 I smooch you

You order an extra burger with beetroot bread and get wheat flour bread delivered And they weren't so friendly on the phone and hung up

Small, fine and super tasty. Ali baba plate for 2. Completely sufficient. Ayran is perfect for this. We'll be back

Great food at very affordable prices. Tried the vegetarian platter and non vegetarian platter. Both delicious and filling. Strongly recommended.

Very tasty, with authentic taste and nice service. Price performance is right, decent portions. But what really bothered us: the dirt... All the tables and chairs were extremely dirty. But we'll still give you another chance ☺️

Cool neighborhood store Very tasty food

Alibaba in Berlin offers delicious and tasty Lebanese food that never disappoints. The falafel and kebab are absolutely my favorites—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Whether you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking for a great meal, Alibaba is a top choice in Berlin. Highly recommended! Highly recommend the alibaba plate! I ordered to take away and is top!

Large portions. The platter for 2 will definitely fill you up for €20. Falafel highly recommended. There is a toilet in Burger Ali Baba
