Went by and checked out the new Ali Baba Grocery and Restaurant on South University the other day.  As you might have expected, there are items that have become familiar to us on the menu, such as kebabs and gyros and hummus.  There are also strange items such as Fatta and Freekah Soup.

Ali Baba isn’t just a restaurant, though.  It’s a place to pick up all sorts of Middle Eastern foodstuffs and cookware.  And it’s certified Halal, with a working butcher in-house.
