A little about this place
About Alibaba
Ali Baba Kabab at 569 Princess Street is a downtown Kingston Middle Eastern grill with Persian- and Lebanese-style dishes. Its current menu lists Ali Baba Chicken and Saffron Chicken skewers, shish kabab, kabab koobideh, Sultani combinations, chicken and beef shawarma, falafel, Quzi lamb shank, dips, salads and group platters. The restaurant describes a relaxed dining environment with options for individual meals and family sharing; visitors should confirm current service and hours before travelling.
The business says its meals are 100% halal, but HFP found no named current certifier. The inspected Google sample repeatedly highlights generous portions, grilled flavours, friendly service and quick preparation; the lowest-rated sample raises a recurring freshness concern around reheated, cold or dry meat. Google Maps lists a washroom plus free and paid street parking, but does not label the washroom wheelchair-accessible.
HFP has not inspected the facilities or verified reviewer claims.

What people enjoy
- Visible diners repeatedly praise generous portions, flavourful grilled meats and dependable food quality.
- Friendly service, fast preparation, falafel and complimentary tea recur in the inspected branch-matched sample.
Things to keep in mind
- Several low-rated diners describe kebabs or chicken as reheated, cold or dry, making freshness consistency a practical caution.
- Older low-rated reviews also mention long waits or an out-of-service bathroom; these are diner reports, not HFP inspection findings.
