A wonderful store! The prices and the merchandise are good, I buy golden raisins to make rum raisin ice cream and all kinds of unique spices . I almost feel like I'm in another country with so much to look at and the customers are so fascinating-always smiling and willing to help!

Found the lavashak I was looking for and a few others we can't get back home. Friendly service and you can find pretty much anything in there. Spacious parking and easy to find items

Just wanted to offer a differing perspective to some of the karens in the reviews. Ali Baba has an amazing selection, a delicious bakery, and locally sourced meat at the butchers. this is an authentic arab/Indian market experience. Western "common courtesy" doesn't apply here. If you need your hand held by service workers, this isn't the place for you.

I love this international store , it has food from Eastern Europe so many delicious things, homemade piping hot Naan bread or pita bread . Tons of different teas from around the world all kinds of foods candies, rices , flour , you really have to go there yourself to see there's just too many things to name. This international food market is amazing and they have fresh vegetables. Bell peppers are huge. I definitely suggest you go out there and check them out.

My friend and I decided to visit this store after having coffee at Baklovah Bakery which is right next to it. This store had a great variety of products that aren't available in your local grocery store (sweets, breads, beauty products and more). The store was clean, well laid out and very simple in nature. Not only was this nice because we were able to purchase and try new foods but everyone who was working there was also very helpful. I'll definitely visit again when having coffee at Baklovah.

I love shopping here! It is a nice switch up from HEB. The Zatar bread is SO YUMMY! I like popping it in the air fryer for a few minutes to get it crispy. The cheese bread version is okay (not as flavorful). They also have fresh pita bread! Their produce is hit or miss. The apples are not as fresh as HEB (they go bad faster and have more bruises) and the tomatoes are incredibly soft. But they will have good and unique produce that I can't find at HEB every once in a while! I like exploring the different ethnic snacks and items! The employees are nice and efficient at check-out.

Indian Store? Mediterranean Store? Turkish Store? Ethiopian Store? Why go to multiple markets when you REALLY only need to come here. Heck, this place even has ORIENTAL products. I sincerely LOVE Ali Baba and I hope this place lives to see generations of customers because it's just THAT GOOD. Even with the current inflation, Ali Baba has NOT raised its prices. I love when I go in and I can find a great deal in the produce section or there is something new that didn't catch my eye before. The frozen foods / refrigerated section includes all the yummy flavorful parathas, a variety of frozen packed vegetables, different brands of dessert (Rehmet E Shereen & Deep, plus others) and ready to eat type foods. They have an in house butcher and although I haven't had any interaction with this personally, I do see people line up (usually on Fridays?) to what I assume is them asking for a specific cut of meat. Oh yes, THE MEAT. FRESH FRESH FRESH. The meat is fresh YALL. I am especially a fan of the "paya" (goat feet) & all of their cuts of beef, but their whole chicken & chicken breast / drumsticks and other cuts have never disappointed me. If you have a sweet tooth like my toddler, the candy / dessert section doesn't disappoint either. Many different kinds of appealing sweets take up an entire aisle and can satisfy even the meanest grinch. There are so many other great items, and even if this review was a 1000 words, it still wouldn't be enough to scale the greatness of this place. Don't wait, Ali Baba is GREAT.

I've shopped here since moving to the area in 2019. Anytime HEB is out of a product, this is usually my next stop. They have a great selection of fresh meat, all halal, of course, at fantastic prices, and their produce selection, though limited, always looks great. If you're in the market for fresh bread and an array of rice, Ali Baba is a place I recommend checking out.
