Ali Baba Turkish Diner in Bournemouth

Recommended by a friend, so I wanted to try it for dinner. I’ve tried calling them dozens of times from two different phones but received no answer at all. No matter how busy a restaurant is, answering the phone when someone is calling for over an hour is essential in my opinion...

Really good experience. Traditional Turkish food, excellent value and good service. Highly recommended.

Mashallah o e of the food place in Bournemouth, taste something different kinds flavours kebab, doner, chicken and much more. Reasonable price for quality food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely food. We caim today from Gloucestershire, after swimming we order some food. If we well come next time to bornemouth definitely I will order from you. Thanks a lot .

Proper Turkish food.. The Soup and Adana was amazing

Really good value and for us we think the food is better than the places with a more glitzy interior on that road Portions are generous, it's freshly cooked and staff are friendly. Definitely going again.

"I visited Alibaba Restaurant yesterday and had a large lamb shish on rice. It was the most delicious meal I've ever had! The lamb shish was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, while the rice was cooked to perfection and complemented the lamb beautifully. The service was friendly and efficient, making the overall dining experience exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a fantastic meal!"

Very nice food , quantity and taste

Tasty, well made food with friendly staff and a good range of offerings - great value for money

Best Turkish Restaurant In Town!

Fantastic food, generous portions and the four of us ate (and ate well) for under £50. Haven't been here for a long time but still same owners and still great service and food. Lovely!

Had the best kebab wrap here whilst in Bournemouth for the weekend Excellent service and very busy place

A good experience, but I was unable to pay by card. They asked for cash only, so I wish they could provide a card machine

This was our first visit, and honestly it was amazing food, brilliant value for money and huge portion sizes. Will definitely come again.

Great food, great service. I come here at least once a week! Large Chicken Shish! It’s the best.

One of if not the best lamb donnar kebabs in Dorset!!

Great food , always busy on a Friday , so a long wait on food ,but worth the wait 🙏🏻

Best kebabs that I have ever had, staff are really friendly. Excellent all round

We love it here, takeaway and eating in it’s always excellent. The food is just amazing, fresh and quality.

Take away or dine in on point every single time, tasty, lots and well priced, no wonder always busy, free tea with every meal ,highly recommended

Great food, good quality, and reasonably priced. Love the fact you can either have rice and salad with your meal, or chips and salad. Don't fancy a meal, then a wrap is just as tasty. Never go anywhere else for my kebabs, eat in or takeaway, it's never a disappointment.

Always spot on food, good prices can't beat it 👍

Very tasty, fresh grilled meat. Amazing tzatzik and baklava. I can recommended that restaurant.

Decent restaurant for generous plates of tasty traditional Turkish food.

Amazing food friendly staff best! See you very soon

Very good food with good portions, excellent meat and clean. Waiter was very nice, came and asked us if everything was good, cared for us as well. The price is also good. Would recommend it definitely. Greetings from Switzerland !

This is the only place for authentic Turkish kebab. Always cooked to order with the freshest salad. Low price for the quality not paying snobbery . A place to meet up with friends. Dine in or take out but not delivery. Enjoy...

The best takeaway in Bournemouth - simple as! High-quality and tasty food, a terrific selection, great and friendly service, and very competitive pricing.

Loved their food and environment.

Great service the quality and quantity was very very good. Reasonably priced well cooked food

Nice people, quick service with very yummy food

Amazing food amazing service and amazing workers It was an amazing night there but the workers were stunning especially the bald one not to be rude but he was so good at making the for it was amazing watching

Cannot fault this place. Takeout or have in the food has always been superb. Always busy, always fresh food and a very reasonable price. Hands down the best Turkish in the area.

Good food and very friendly service

Good food and good value. My Mum loved it!

Freshly cooked, tasty and no fuss food! Reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.

Awfull, chicken undercooked. Wouldnt take card payments so had to walk in rain to nearest ATM. Wasnt given receipt after purchase

Food was delicious, arrived quickly, great value for money. Will definitely come back again!

Really enjoyed the food. I got a lamb plater and my wife chicken. Cooked fresh and both were delicious

My family eats every weekend, top place for kebabs everything is fresh. Thanks Abi Nas

The best Turkish food in Bournemouth!

Fabulous food, good prices, large portions, quick service.

Amazing stuff really quick service ❤️❤️❤️

We went around 5 o'clock on weekdays. We waited half an hour for orders. Very slow service. It was a complete disappointment. Although we ordered lamb shish and lahmacun, we did not like either of them at all. Especially the thing sold as lahmacun was too hard and bad to eat. I won't go again when there are better ones.

This is my favorite place I try others but always come back ! I have the Alibaba mixed grill and baklava The food is fresh , tasty and big portion oh and price is also the best. Staff are friendly and atmosphere is buzzing so it's full marks from me . Thank you

The service is amazing the food is full of Turkey taste food and the ambient is simple but THE BEST! Must try ALI BABA ! 🙏🏻🤗👍

Delicious Turkish traditional food. Must try lamb soup one of the best one. Yummy chicken Shish with large portion. Amazing service so friendly. Highly recommend! Don’t miss it. Thank you Ali Baba Resturant.

Polecam każdemu głodnemu ✌️✌️✌️

Nice service and the best kebab.

Great Food, lots of Turkish options, Great service.

Loved the food. The doner kebabs were brilliant and the baklava is mouth watering and super delicious. The best baklava I've eaten!

Sideways great food, this place is always busy which says a lot

I love Ali Baba’s, whether to come in and eat or for takeaway! The food is SO delicious and fresh, the meat is juicy, the rice is buttery and the salad is so tasty. Their home made baklava is a winner too. The staff are always so lovely, and when you go in and eat they give you a Turkish tea to finish off your dinner, it’s is so nice and special 🥰 Bear in mind the place is cash only, but there is a cash machine a short walk at the local Tesco ☺️

Love this place, lamb shish is lush - chicken wraps lush. Bit pricey but they us good ingredients, cooked really well with lots of flavour plus it's healthy

Spent 13 quid in Boscombe at a well known kebab shop and it wasn't a patch on what i got at ali baba . For seven pound fifty , large done, rice and salad ,chilli sauce , garlic sauce and curious staff . I will be back to try the rest of there menu 😋

Best Turkish food in Bournemouth. Never fails. Amazing staff.

One of the best kabab restaurants of Bournemouth!!! The portions are reach and the products are always fresh.

Large portion of food that was so salty, couldn’t finish the plate, told the waiter and was very rude about it and did not resolve the issue. Half way through speaking to him, he simply walked away from the conversation. Very rude. No card payments and while bringing a friend from the US we were not able to pay. We suggested alternative methods he began getting frustrated that we did not have cash. Maybe worth an audit on their taxes for this reason. When we complained about the salty food, one of their customers was also rude and said the food isn’t salty to the waiter and decided to take sides with another customer instead of staying neutral and apologising thereby invalidating our experience. Very disappointed and ruined our day. Will not return here!

Attentive staff, great food. Always busy! Call ahead to get your order in before you head there to pick up, or eat in - great atmosphere

The interior looks like a traditional take away but the food is extraordinarily good, the atmosphere is social and friendly, and the price is dirty cheap!!

Very nice and comes with either rice or chips. Rice was perfect and had a nice flavour to it. Definitely recommend

Amazing Turkish food with very good prices

Quite easily the best kebab I've ever had. The baklava is homemade and is amazing!

Chicken Kebab there is best in the World 🙏😍 Thank you for your very tasty meals.

My house mate uses this place & my daughter swears bye it. Tonight I used it for the first time &it was everything I hoped it would be...superb. well done

Highly recommend this gem in the Charminster Crown. Good food. Friendly owners. Happy belly! Jazak Allah Khayra for your efforts.

Food is super tasty as always, friendly staff, plenty of seating. Turkish pizza is my choice always, but they put the price up from £2.50 to £3... inflation 🥲

Charminster has many restaurants, and Ali Baba looks like just another kebab shop. Facade is pretty unremarkable. However, the welcome was superb, the service was friendly and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend the mixed Mezze, which is huge. The kebabs we had (one Lamb Shish, and one Lamb Mezze), were juicy, tender and flavourful with that all-important sweet flavour that only charcoal imparts. Lightly charred to absolute perfection! Salads freshly prepared and appetising. Portions ample and very reasonably priced. We travelled all the way from Pokesdown as we'd heard this is where the locals go. We will be back!

The best kebab in town hands down and great portion sizes and service. Baklava was the climax.

Below standard food and pathetic service

Aile ile gidilebileceğiniz en güzel yer yemekler nice ızgara çok güzel baklava mükemmel teşekkür ederiz ilgi için

Quality food all day long from Ali Baba. You can't go wrong here With the taste choice of menu all prepared in front of you.. One word for this place... "DELICOUS" don't forget to have the best Baklava in Bournemouth. Well worth it.

Recommended...best food on Charminster !!!

Food is good, cost wise not recommended, no free soup and bread. Only accepts cash payment

الخيار الحلال الذي تجده في الكثير من الدول الأوربية. تستمتع فيه بالأكلات التركية الرائعة. حتى الموظفين فيه من الأتراك. أعود إليه باستمرار. رائع

Very nice food. One of the best, if not the best, kebab House in Bournemouth.

It really nice place to eat good food ☺️ kebab jami jami

Following my ponder I ordered to find that my choice of dish wasn't available, I ordered again another two times and the dishes were also not available. I ordered a large Adana Kofte, which was pink on the inside. My friend ordered a mix kebab, came on a plate the size of the food. No space for manoeuvrability, was a task to eat having lost most of his rice however careful he tried to be. The food is reasonably priced and quality reflects. I will not be eating there again.

Great charcoal cooked kebabs. Always busy with Turkish diners. Phone ahead to order - makes it more convenient. Cash only though and can be very crowded.

I have been to many places and I have tasted different food, but I have not eaten such good, fresh and visually made food. Grilled chicken Shisha lick your fingers !!!! the rest of the meals are full of freshness. I sincerely recommend eating here 12 times and coming back again because it's worth it.

Good place to share a delicious meal with a friend.

Great lentil soup and hummus with fresh bread.

This restaurant is great. Food is amazing, prices and portions are amazing.Staff is very welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Veeery nice and fresh food always. This time I took a picture of the backlava 🤤 amaizing!!

Very good food here,fresh made. Friendly personal

The best Turkish food in the area and for a very good price. The staff is cordial.

Great service, good and price. Very tempted to become a regular.

Chicken shish rice and salad fantastic.

I've been coming here year's and can honestly say it's the best place around, the owner and staff are friendly and kind and work hard to make sure your food gets to you fast, and the food itself is great value for money. Sorry I've never left a review before. Thanks again

Amazing lamb soup. Sorry, didn't take any photos, because we were so hungry. Will to nx time.

Fantastic food, just a shame not a restaurant as such, but hugely recommend.

I called here as I googled kebab houses in charminster. Was told they don’t do delivery even though if you Google it, it clearly states that they do. Man on phone very argumentative and rude.

Excellent food fresh and tasty Specifically humous

Nice place, fresh food, very good staff, variety of turkish food, went here had my little toddler with me, staff were accommodating, their shawarma is spot on.

Amazing, as I live locally me and my friends get a Keto Donner twice a week, just ask for no chips or rice cover it in their home made garlic mayo and pow, instant food of the gods! Great portions for at least £5 😁🤩🤩🤩

Good prices .. tasty food and large portion as well

Best kebab,real turkish homemade food.

These guys are the busiest place in the street for a reason

Very nice fresh kebab best In the Bournemouth nice andfriendly staff also shop is all the time very busy
