Reviews of Ahli Baba's Kabob Shop

Ryan Le Blanc

I work nights around the corner, complaining of lack of late night options. This place is great, day or night. Food is prepared quickly, the ingredient are all above quality I would've expected. I would go to a sit down spot for the same without batting an eye. Regina always provides fast and accurate service with a calm smile that belies the intensity of the spot on a busy evening. 😀 Greatfood. Reasonable prices, always fast and accurate.

Esteban Rubens

Excellent pita wraps in the heart of Burlington. Loved the quality of the ingredients the long opening hours.

Andrew Lewis

The Gyros Sandwich and fries are decent, but the Falafel was very bad. The exterior was reasonably crispy but the inside was far too doughy. The Main downside is the lack of constancy of the restaurant. Sometimes the food is great and other times the food is terrible.

Bhakti Dalvi

Got falafel wrap and chicken wrap. Tasted great.

Jackson Hall

The food is absolutely great. The service could be more welcoming at times. The general atmosphere could also be better. However, you have to give them credit for tailoring to their audience, the Church Street 2am'ers (power to them).

William Thompson

Some of the cheapest greasy spoon style food in Burlington. Ahli Baba's retains a unique jam band aesthetic. If you are looking for some cheap greasy kebabs while being treated to the lieks of P

Nathan Miller

Decent food but nothing spectacular to travel across town for. Fairly quick, although they did screw up several people's orders all in a row which left everyone standing around waiting for the last third of their orders. A little disorganized. I didn't get hummus or sauce with my falafel, which fortunately was good all on its own.

Millie Obregon

Decent food and the staff were having lots of drama. It was a decent meal with free entertainment.

Danielle Robar

OMG amazing service food was absolutely delicious cannot wait to come back

Lauren Smathers

Wonderful experience anytime of day; employees are great and so is the food. 11/10 would recommend

Ken Liu

Delicious food!!! We have eaten here several times and it's always good.

D D

The food is fresh and delicious and the people who work there are pretty chill. I wish there were more drink selections though.

Jacob Houghton

This was my first time having a Gyro and it was fantastic! Location is a bit small. Was a great experience overall!

Kelly M. Mueller

Gyro pita is amazing. Perfect late night meal.

Misty Peck

So glad they reopened after the fire. The restaurant looks great and the food is always delicious 💖 …

Jonathan Hallisey

Great place for a quick bite in burlington. Falafel was very good and different than others i have tried. Flat vs balls. The lemonade was very good as well. Bar style counter-tables. Small but well maintained. Ill be back to try other things!

jluis mar estrada

Sweet place. Good music. Quick service. In and out.

Matthew Hanagan

Still one of my favorite falafels. Thank you guys! ♥️

Hanna Kaminski

The perfect spot to stop by for a fast, filling, worth it meal. Love the food, but the service is always the best. While you’re likely run into the owner, the guys Mark who made our kebabs was awesome. Great conversation and delicious steak and chicken kebabs(make sure to add some Tzatziki sauce)!

Anne-Maire Mattogno

I mean, i’ll go there. I like the owner. but post-reopening staff is just not nice and not fun to be around. it used to be my go-to but now it’s a last resort. they also started using a lot less sauce so falafel is always insanely dry:/

Jennifer Poirier

The new shop looks fantastic. So happy for you! My meal was perfect and made so it was easy to feed my toddler. Best lemonade.

Ray Marquis

I was in town for a friend's Bachelor party and found myself hungry at night. GO HERE! Trust me, I ordered a lot. The food came out quick, hot, and very tasty. I will absolutely come back. I might even make a trip (4+ hours) just to eat here again.

Foster

Great place for late night food! Their steak pita and lamb pita are amazing. EDIT: I still stand by my love for the food, but I recently had a poor experience with customer service over the phone. Whoever answered was rather rude and impatient with me. Changed from 4 to 3 stars.

Jeremy Lloyd

Sadly this is my lowest review yet of a place that I really want to give 5 stars. We visited 2 years ago in the winter and the food was great as was the service (5 stars then) but now, we came back because we liked it so much the first time and it's gone downhill for sure. The worker was super standoffish and throwing dishes around in the back making a bunch of noise, he forgot our hot sauce on the falaffell pitas we ordered, and the place was filthy this time around. Spider webs all over and grease basically dripping from the ceiling from essentially years of neglect and failure to clean. He also had the music up so loud that I could barely hear my wife sitting across the table from me and, on top of that, it was music full of swearing and other bad things. Definitely not something I would allow being played in my restaurant especially when I knew I had dine in customers sitting and trying to enjoy their meals. I hope they turn this place around for sure!

Brennan Martin

When the person behind the counter knows what they are doing, the food is fresh, fast, and fantastic. But sometimes they don't and you end up with cold fries and a bland falafel. Still, its probably the one of the best hole in the wall restaurants in Burlington.

Mike Lannen

The chicken kabob pita and gyros pita are amazing. The staff is friendly and explains the different options very well for anyone new to this style of food. Everything is made fresh to order but very quickly. A nice alternative when you can not make up your mind for lunch.

Blair Wolston

Fair pricing, good tasting food for people in a hurry on their lunch break or out late needing a snack. Indoor seating unlike some similar establishments. No frills and hot grills!

Axel Laing

Love it wonderful environment and amazing food and friendly staff.

Rizan Rafi

Halal- only 1 item. Food was ok.

Starr St James

Hit or miss in a big way. It definitely helps to be drunk and hungry and desperate. But regardless of my state of intoxication, I've had some absolutely wonderful meals here, and some nauseously bad ones. They seem to be at their best when it's really busy. Whatever you get, add feta 😍 …

Travis Finborg

Breakfast burritos are on point. Love the kebabs as well. Tiny spot for a quick bite. They have various bottled drinks in offer as well. A very affordable place with yummy food.

Mαrc EC

Not too exceptional and on the pricey side but would still recommend Went there with the family on our way back to Canada. Can't remember the exact date but it was exceptionally cold on that day! So cold that even this restaurant was freezing inside, the staff was very determined to work on that day! Food was okay - menu has enough variety, prices are a little high for what you get and it isn't remarkable in any way but it was satisfying enough

Mike Grill

Legitimately some of the best food in Burlington, a hidden gem directly next to KKD's. It's got great hours and friendly staff, and authentic Mediterranean food. Please come to this fine eatery at least once. Also the Ahli Baba's food truck at the UVM Green is great, another well kept secret. Delicious food, keep up the good work!

E bubba

My usual is the Gyros pita. $7.50 and the taste and quality is always consistently great. Quick wait times during the week and only a little longer on weekends.

Tyler Lund

Kebabs as good as those in Turkey in the middle of a ski paradise. Sometimes you just need to have a kebab and when in Burlington, the only game in town is Ahli Baba's. Thankfully, it is also very good. The kabobs are overflowing with meat and veggies but excellent. Service was friendly though a little slow probably because they had the munchies. There are a few uncomfortable stools to sit and eat at. Seems very popular with the locals as we got to hear a heated discussion about the best snowmobile repair shop.

Noah Hamilton

Ordered a steak Gyro, amazing flavor, perfectly cooked and reasonably priced. Helpful and patient staff with a very cool atmosphere.

Aaron Feick

Food was good but just a place for a quick bite. Fast service and more of a late nite vibe.

Doa Al

If you are from the Middle East and your looking for authentic Mediterranean restaurant, this is not the place to get falafels. Overall good customer service, we ordered ahead and did takeout.

Timothy Eakle

I will cut to the chase, If you want a table cloth and cushy chairs move along. If you want quick, portable, amazing food, so affordable that the college crowd (intoxicated or not) love it, step on in and let me make some bold claims... I would be surprised if you found a better restaurant for your money in Burlington. READ THIS EVEN BOLDER CLAIM: I doubt you will find a better breakfast burrito in the country! I lived in Colorado and Los Angeles & had some great ones, I've had breakfast burritos all over (I love them)... The Ahli Baba's breakfast burrito is the best I have ever had!! Ask for the "Timburito" (#6 sausage with hash browns in it, if they ask if you want hot sauce say no it has good salsa already in it.) in a few moments your mouth will thank you.

Patrick Feinson

Solid falafel, even made me Greek fries even though they're not on the menu. Also pretty solid. Thanks guys! Will be back!

Anna L.

Absolutely delicious falafel pita and gyro. Great price for dinner for 2. Definitely will be back!

Forest Zabriskie

Good authentic kebab shop vibe. Small, cozy, friendly staff, quick service. Kebabs weren't the best I've ever had, but they certainly do the trick.

Alexa Harbison

Shoutout to the Staff of Ahli Baba's Kabob Shop! Helped us out in a really tough situation - wonderful staff, great energy. Can't say enough good things about them

Samuel Pennell

The Chicken Kabob is the best meal I've ever had! Seriously! I went to UVM, and I have had hundreds of chicken kabobs from Ahli Baba's! The thing is savage, son. At least it was back in the mid-90s. I hope it is still good. Far superior to the food over at the Kountry Kart Deli (KKD). Sorry, but I said it.

Gui Meireles

It took me 4 years living in Burlington to find out about this place and I wish I have found it before! Really taste food!

Dan bev

Very tasty and I like the people who work there, especially the guy covered in tats. But too pricey for me though compared to others I've had.

Cody Shell

Got a breakfast burrito (#6). Delicious burrito, prompt and friendly service, good location. 10/10 would dine again

Christopher Benitt

Awsome kebobs! Sometimes goat and lamb on the menu! Love these options and deals! Will be customer for very long, HEALTHY time!

Tray T

Good food. Menu a bit confusing, and place doesn't offer enough space for eating inside.

Eric Foster

Great food, friendly Burlingtonian atmosphere, at a price that you'd typically double in most small towns.

Kaitlyn Donovan

Not the friendliest staff, but worth it for the food. Please get on Uber Eats!

Peter Moore

Great food, super affordable. One of the best places to grab quick food in downtown Burlington.

Kate Star

Quick cheap eat, pretty good Gyros, good selection of breakfast & lunch sammies, ECT.

Mitch Comstein

Amazing food. And (probably) not just because it was well after midnight on bachelor party night.

Ted Kantrowitz

Perfect countertop local kebab place. Wi-Fi, nice people, saucy kabobs. Simple and done right.
