Re: “Taziki's Café”

Delicious, well priced, though a little crowded for lunch time. Definitely worth the walk!

Re: “Tabbuli Grill”

Good luck Sam. Great design for the place. I really liked the enviroment inside. the menu looks good, and I am sure the cruise crowd will like it as well. Hookas are also a great idea. Nothing better than hooka and a cup of turkish coffee under the Charleston sky!

Re: “Ali Baba Mediterranean Food”

It is wonderful. The chef changed about four months ago, and since then the quality has gone way up. They have some of the best falafels we ever encountered (better than some well-known places in Manhattan, crunchy outside with a soft and delicious inside). The ingredients are very fresh. I particularly love their kibbi; the hummos is very creamy and stands out. For lunch, the falafel combo sandwiches with slightly browned cauliflower are a treat. For dinner, try any lamb dish with a glass of Lebanese red wine (I was surprised by how nice the wine is and how well it goes with the dishes). Desserts are scrumptious too and freshly made. The interior decor has also improved, with some interesting wall hangings, and shelves with olive oil and other middle eastern goods for sale (we tried the olive oil and it is quite nice). I disagree with one of the postings: the atmosphere and the people running the place are friendly and relaxed, I'd definitely recommend eating in to fully appreciate the food.

Re: “Ali Baba Mediterranean Deli & Catering”

I eat here multiple times a week, sometimes twice in a day. The Falafel and hummos is delicious as well as their many assortments of salads. Heart of palm, tabouleh and fatoosh are my favorites. Give them a shot, the owner Samir is very friendly and always has a smile on his face. *** Vegetarian Friendly ***

Re: “Lana”

I recently relocated to the Charleston area and have been dying to try out as many restaurants as possible. LANA has been the absolute best of all. The atmosphere is wonderful, intimate, low key. The food was fabulous, nice take on mediterranean. Can't wait to go back!

Re: “Muse”

Wash of the everyday with a vacation at Muse. The wine bar is the perfect petit spot to avoid the high heels & cologne of other obvious night spots. Muse quietly oozes conversation, charm mixed with Matts magic tricks & killer drinks not to be outdone by cuisine that reminds you its heavenly to nibble & not merely eat food.

Re: “Muse”

This is the best place I've found in years in Charleston! Fun, friendly and really outstanding food. Indoors, outdoors or at the bar. I can't wait to come back!!!!!

Re: “Ali Baba Mediterranean Deli & Catering”

My husband and I stumbled upon the place by accident but was very glad we did. We had the special gyro of the day, with this amazing feta sauce/spread and lots of meat. Absolutely delicious! We also tried a small treat (cant' remember the name, but had pistachios in it), that I have to say was little overpriced. Other than that, it was great and we'll definitely be going back!

Re: “Ali Baba Mediterranean Deli & Catering”

Let me begin by saying that my wife and I lived in the Middle East for two years. While living in Jerusalem, many locals invited us into their homes for wonderful Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine. Not only did they share meals with us, they taught my wife how to prepare the local food. Over those two years we learned that Middle Eastern food is extremely tasty and very healthy as well.

In the 20+ years since living in the Middle East, whenever traveling, we always look for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants. We’ve found some pretty good ones in large cities like Atlanta, Metro DC. Now we have no need to look any further. Welcome to Ali Baba Mediterranean Deli & Catering on Daniel Island. For my family it is a dream come true to have the real thing in town. The prices are right, the atmosphere, friendliness and hospitality remind us so much of what we experienced during our time in Jerusalem.

I really hate to limit my recommendations because everything is absolutely delicious. But be sure not to miss the some of the best kibbi I’ve ever had along with an absolutely wonderful heart of palm salad. The grape leaves are outstanding and the chicken kebob melts in your mouth. This food is freshly prepared and Ali Baba’s has quite a variety. The vegetarian has many choices and for those who don’t feel adventurous there’s even a half pound burger on the menu. We’ve eaten in at Ali Baba or picked up there countless times and I still don’t think we’ve gotten to try everything on the menu. If you want authentic Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine, you simply can’t go wrong with Ali Baba on Daniel Island! It’s a 5 star all the way!
