At Ali Baba Persian Restaurant, chefs interpret traditional Middle Eastern dishes, using time-tested recipes and Halal meat to craft stews, sandwiches, and entrees of beef and lamb. Their signature stew is the ghormeh sabzi, with beef and kidney beans that mingle with leeks, parsley, and cilantro. Vegetarian dishes, made without meat or animal crackers, include the hearty kashk o'bademjan, a dish of sauteed eggplant with fried mint, fried onions, and yogurt sauce.
