I felt compelled to write this review and share an unsettling experience I had at Ali Baba/Terra Mediterranean, involving the owner's son. His behavior was not just unprofessional; it was downright aggressive.While dining there, he was extremely rude to a fellow customer, and when I politely questioned his behavior, he escalated the situation by threatening to call the police on me and my children. He insisted that if I didn't approve of his management style, I was welcome to eat elsewhere, and made it clear that he was the ultimate authority in the restaurant.I managed to capture this entire exchange on video. It's certainly not my preference to post such content on social media, but I am considering it given the severity of the incident and as this type of behavior could be detrimental to the restaurant's reputation and to your considerations in any professional capacity.

This place is absolutely amazing! The food the staff, there are so many good things to say. I recommend the lunch buffet for new comers. They have a nice limited selection of very flavorful food that isn't over done. This way you also get to try everything without the commitment. You may need to wait for a seat or possibly make a reservayion in advance due to the popularity of the place. They also so not have any coke or pepsi products for everyone that is Halal and pro watermelon this may be the place for you. The machine is coke but I'm it's because they bought it years ago like most retaurants do, they even tried to cover the logo. The products are defintetly local. One of my new favorite placss to go!Vegetarian options: There are a quite a few vegetrian options.
I absolutely love coming to this place!First off, the staff is very friendly and attentive, and they provide a great atmosphere. Secondly, the food is priced very well, nothing on the menu seems overpriced at all, so very affordable.Thirdly, everything I have had here is delish!What I pictured is the falafel plate which comes with four and some fresh veggies.I also got the saffron chicken plate, which came with rice on the side. The rice had a nice hint of fragrance and paired fantastic with the chicken and the sauce. The chicken itself just about melted in my mouth, and the sauce was very flavorful.You can also go here in the morning to mid lunch times for their buffet which is an incredible way to try the majority of their dishes! I asked the waitress when I was here on a Sunday and she mentioned that Sunday buffets end at 3:00pm. If you haven’t been here at all , I highly recommend you try the buffet first, and enjoy your experience here cause that’s what you’ll have!
Atlantic the lunch buffet time in the middle terranean Buffet because you can sample different food. Alibaba is a very nice place where you can do that during lunch

Travelled from Houston to eat here. The hummus and tzatziki were spoiled. I spent the rest of the day sick as a dog. I let the manager know. No one apologized, thanked me, or offered to do anything for me. The prices have gone up, but the options were not what they used to be. I won’t be back.
