Overall, the restaurant is okay, but my experience was disappointing because the menu was not updated. I was really looking forward to French fries, as they were listed on the menu, but when my meal arrived, they had been replaced with roasted potatoes instead. While the staff did apologize for the confusion, it would have been much better if I had been informed of the change before placing my order.
P.S. If you are traveling with kids who really want fries, think twice.
Awesome find in San Juan that we just randomly found. The service was insanely fast - my water glass was never empty. It ended up being a great find. We had the hummus appetizer and shared the curry chicken dish and cheese flatbread. It was just enough food for two and we left feeling full and very satisfied (there were no crumbs left behind)
The best Turkish restaurant in town, the salad is delicious, all the meat dishes are authentic and very fresh.
Best shepherds salad I have ever had
by far. The chef Suleyman Yilmaz is very friendly and extremely good at what he is doing.
Absolutely amazing experience at Ali Baba Restaurant in Puerto Rico! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming — Fernando, and Luis who were so friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We also met the owner, who was just as warm and hospitable. The food was exceptional. The bread was soft and fresh, the chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful, and the Iskender was rich and delicious. But the real standout for me was the manti — absolutely incredible! The imam bayıldı was also packed with flavor and perfectly prepared.
If you’re in San Juan and looking for authentic Turkish cuisine with genuine hospitality, this place is a must. Highly recommend!
Excellent food and service! Waiting time was great also. Loved the hummus with lavash bread wich is homemade & the adana garlic yogurt main dish that comes with a extraordinary pilaf rice, baked potatoes and salad. At the end we got kunefe for dessert. Just WOW! Better than turkiye
