The Timeless Legacy of Ali Baba’s Kitchen Newbury Park
Ali Baba’s Kitchen is a long-lived dream of Kalil Salah. His passion for cooking began at the age of 15 in Jordan, leading him to the kitchen of a Marriott Hotel where he polished his culinary skills. Later, he migrated to the United States with his family, carrying a dazzling dream — to serve authentic Eastern Mediterranean cuisine to American foodies.
The restaurant grew in popularity along with the growth in its quality — all thanks to Kalil’s dedication, his deep love for flavorful recipes, and the enthralling support of his trusted kitchen partner, Danilo Lopez.
Once you step into Baba’s Kitchen, you’ll feel something rare — rhythm, warmth, and teamwork. It’s easy to see why Ali Baba’s Kitchen Newbury Park stands out. It’s not just the flavours, it’s the feeling of being home.

In House Special Dishes of Ali Baba’s Kitchen Newbury Park
The key to a great hummus is its combination of creamy thick texture and its taste of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon and spices. What’s disappointing is a coarse and grainy textured hummus with no taste. At Baba’s Kitchen, the hummus maintains its lightness yet rich and creamy puree. Beware! You might end up asking for extra hummus not as appetizer, but with your main dish, too. Hummus comes drizzled with olive oil and a dash of red spices.
Kufteh is made from ground meat and mixed with herbs and spices. As an onlooker, beef kufteh appears to be a favorite of many diners. It comes out of the kitchen often like the shawarma dishes. Beef or Chicken kufteh plates are served with rice, salad, and fresh sautéed vegetables.
The tender and juicy lamb chunks on a bed of hummus is a great appetizer. It is a great dish to share with family or friends during your dining experience. It’s a way to start the meal, a warm pita topped with luscious hummus, and tender lamb. Well, you might want to consider Baba ghanoush, if you are a vegetarian. It’s is the favorite appetizer of many many customers at Ali Baba.
