ALI BABA HOUSE OF KEBAB – Middle Eastern
More than three decades on West State Road 434, Ali Baba has been Longwood's Persian kitchen for a generation of central Florida families. The charcoal does the talking: kobideh of seasoned minced beef, chicken breast kabob, lamb and beef skewers, all arriving over saffron rice with grilled tomato. Start with hummus blended with tahini and garlic, falafel of chickpea and fava served with tahini sauce, or a smoky baked-eggplant dip bound with tomato, garlic and egg. Stews and fresh salads fill out the rest. Closed Mondays; otherwise open into the evening. Consistency, portion size and hospitality are the recurring notes.
