Quick info
About Ali Baba Grill
Kebabs anchor the ordering at Ali Baba Grill, a Turkish restaurant and kebab shop on Bouverie Rd W in Folkestone. The menu runs to 245 dishes, stretching from the chicken special kebab and the German doner through doner wraps, including a beef version, to a pizza list that carries a buy-one-get-one deal advertised on the display outside. Kebabs arrive with salad and sauces, chips are a common addition, and salad pots are sold separately for anyone who wants more of it. Orders are taken at the counter in store or placed by phone and through the app, and the kitchen works every day. Pizza meal bundles group the pizza side of the menu into set combinations. Note that several customers have found the prices shown outside and on the menu did not match the amount charged at the counter, so it is worth confirming the total when you order.

Customer Review Summary
The kebab is what brings reviewers back, repeatedly called the best they have had, with the doner wrap singled out most often as perfectly cooked and paired with salad and sauces that several describe as fresh and crisp. Close behind is the delivery, which several say arrives quickly and still warm, and one reviewer praises the in store ordering alongside it. Others mention chips, the chicken special kebab and the German doner as tasty, and staff come up as kind and friendly. Portions draw praise for being generous, though one reviewer asks for bigger salad pots and a pitta option added online. The complaints are concrete and cluster around pricing and orders: one describes an outside pizza deal, buy one get one free, that staff said was years out of date before quoting a higher price, another says a delivery was refused unless an extra charge was paid and no refund followed for food never received, and a third reports a very late order arriving in poor condition. Two reviewers also note the menu did not match what was offered.

“Visited Ali Baba Grill in Folkestone last night with my family and had a great experience. The food was fresh, tasty, and generously portioned. The Doner wrap was perfectly cooked and the salad and sauces complemented it really well. The …”

“Very disappointing experience. The pizza deal displayed outside showed buy one second pizza free , but when I went inside, they said out side display was 3 years back they haven’t changed yet try to charged a completely different higher price. It feels misleading and dishonest to attract customers with one offer and then change it later.”
