Ali Baba

I rocked up here the other night after a few beers.


I walk past Ali Baba quite a lot and the doner kebabs, rotating slowly at the front of the shop, always look tasty and actually made of meat (though this is par for the course on Green Lanes - no grey elephant legs here: kebabs can quite happily be enjoyed sober as well). There's a small seating area at the back, and everything looks clean and tidy.


When I was last in, the staff were friendly and chatty, which isn't always the case. The guy I talked to was Kurdish, and was quite happy to listen to what London Pride had to say on this particular night.


Having got my lamb shish home, it didn't take long to devour. Let's face it, this is never going to be an entirely accurate review - I was drunk - but it tasted great. Not exceptional, but great. Fresh salads, juicy, tender lamb, garlic and chili sauce and soft warm flatbread. The perfect post-pub snack-cum-meal.

This is my local kebab house, very friendly staff, and they make there own fresh bread which is absolutly delicious, ive never had anything to complain about when i have purchased from here, not even the lovely chicken doner roll with salad packed up with filling for £3.50 and very satisfing too. They have recently done the interior up seperating the cooking area and the seating area with a door and windown partition, they do have 2-3 small tables beside the counter so you can sit and wit for your food to be cooked.
if you are in the area, and fancy kebab, you should really pop in, im sure you will enjoy the food.
