The food is amazing! Beef Shawrma plate with the hot sauce is my favorite! The business is family run and the entire family are great people. The food is delicious and made with love, can definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Been going here for over 20 years and had them cater my wedding. Everything is terrific, but the falafel and hummus are truly unparalleled. Try the garlic sauce, and finish with a Turkish coffee!

One of the best pita sandwiches I have ever had came out super fast and it was so fresh with the perfect amount of sauce and so rich in flavors!
Best place ever! Been coming here for probably 10 years. Owner is so kind and friendly, and so is the staff. Food is always delicious and consistent.

Ate here recently and it was very nice!! The food was absolutely delicious I got the beef shawarma pita sandwich and there was so much flavor and it was a nice big portion! It was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. The servers were also very kind and the service was very good! The atmosphere is also very nice and peaceful and overall being here was the best experience I have been had at a restaurant before!

This is the best authenic Middle Eastern food in the Conejo Valley. The service is premier and the atmosphere is genuine. My husband and I visit Baba's Kitchen as a real treat. Dine in or take out its one of the best cuisine secret in Thousand Oaks.Vegetarian options: I'm vegetarian so I'm picky where I eat. Baba's Kitchen works well with their falafel dish with salad and tubali is my favorite.
Tilapia was not cooked (red) in the middle. Beef shawarma was fairly charred/blackened. I wanted to love my takeout from here, had not visited in a long time but this was definitely sub par. It was at 4pm before any dinner rush, disappointed.
Ali Baba is a culinary haven for those seeking an authentic Mediterranean experience. The stuffed fillet of salmon is a symphony of flavors, the chicken curry a fragrant journey, and the roasted half chicken a succulent delight. Yet, it's the freshly prepared hummus that steals the show - a velvety blend that encapsulates Ali Baba's unwavering commitment to freshness and quality. For discerning food enthusiasts, this establishment is a definite must-visit, where every dish is a testament to their dedication to delivering a truly exceptional dining experience.

Best salmon shwarma salad ever! Lots of grilled salmon sharma and great salad. Hubby got the falafel plate and swapped out the tabouli for moutabal (aka babaganoush)! Best falafel combo plate around. 5+ starts. Also family run and really congenial, friendly wait staff.
good food, owned by a kind loving local family.
