Ali Babas - Bournemouth

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!

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.

I’ve tried many Turkish restaurants in my life. This is by far the best and cheapest Turkish kebab in Bournemouth. Adana kebab and doner very fresh and juicy. The salads are fresh. Tea and baklava absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend either for dine in or takeaway

Fresh healthy and cheap tastes amazing best Turkish restaurant in Dorset get up there! You won’t beat it

I have been going here for 5 years now, and I've never been dissapointed. Before I was vegetarian I would get a large shish and take the left overs home for a FULL meal the following day AND the next!!!. The rice is devine. The salads are fresh, as well as the bread and often complimentory turkish tea. Whilst your here do try the Sumuc spice on the table, its wonderfully tangy (not chilli which i thought it was at first) Service is usually pretty quick, it is cash only so prepare ahead! there is a cash point across the road so its not too much of an issue. These days I buy the veggie options which always consists of their borek, feta pastry, salad and chips gallore! You will leave with a food baby, their portions are huge.
