a month agoI didn't have one of my most unforgettable experience here. I had a side a lamb and a feta special and I was expecting a little bit of more of the experience.

2 months agoTHE BIGGEST TOURIST TRAP IN SAN JUAN – PREDATORY PRICING & DECEPTIVE PORTIONS! My Rating: ⭐ (1/5) I am visiting Puerto Rico with my family from New Jersey—one of the most expensive states in the U.S. and a hub for world-class Turkish food. I know exactly what Mediterranean food should cost and how it should be served. My experience at Ali Baba was not just a disappointment; it was a calculated scam. 1. Predatory Pricing & Deception: The pricing here is beyond astronomical. They charged me $20 for a SINGLE Lahmacun. To put this in perspective, in New Jersey, we pay around $21 for THREE authentic, high-quality Lahmacuns. To make it worse, they cut that one Lahmacun into four small pieces to trick us into thinking we were getting a full meal. It is an insult to the customer's intelligence. 2. Overpriced Across the Board: It wasn’t just the Lahmacun. Every single item on the menu was outrageously overpriced compared to the mediocre quality and small portion sizes provided. Whether it was the appetizers or the mains, you are paying fine-dining prices for "tourist-trap" quality food. 3. Poor Value for Families: If you are traveling with a family, STAY AWAY. You will leave feeling cheated and your wallet significantly lighter without the satisfaction of a good meal. This is a textbook "tourist trap" designed to exploit travelers. Do not waste your hard-earned money or your vacation time here. There are far more honest and delicious establishments in San Juan that deserve your business. We feel completely ripped off.

3 months agoI can't say enough good things about this restaurant. They treated me like family even though it was my first time here. The Imam Baylidi is to die for and the Baklava with ice cream takes an amazing dessert to a different level. I will ABSOLUTELY be back next time I'm in San Juan. ☺️

3 months agoWe loved the food and especially the cocktails in January 2026. The atmosphere matched the food selections, Turkish. The cocktails were above average and pricing was great. We had walked from our nearby hotel so can't comment on parking. We wanted to go back but ran out of time in Puerto Rico.

4 months agoOne of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in Puerto Rico! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We especially loved the vegetarian options—everything tasted authentic and delicious. The hummus, falafel, and fresh bread were outstanding. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and a wonderful dining experience overall. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality Middle Eastern or vegetarian food in Puerto Rico.

4 months agoI really wanted to like this spot because the service was fantastic, but the food fell far short of expectations. Having eaten a lot of great Turkish food, I found the dishes here lacked seasoning and depth. Specifically, the meats were overcooked—the chicken was hard and the lamb was far too chewy. Though the pita was fine, the overall quality doesn't justify the price nor the portion. I won't be recommending it just go to sushi instead of halal.

5 months agoI love the food and ambience. Buttt the portion size is too small for the price they charge. It’s expensive. I ordered the manti and that was a bit bland. But I loved the beef shish kebab and the hummus.
