I love Jerusalem, been going there since I was a kid. Likewise I'm a fan of Pete's in all its incarnations, the Diner, Pete's Kitchen, etc. However, Ali Baba still rules the roost in my book. When I need a Hummus fix, there's no better place. The first bite of their Chicken Be-Shawarma (get it with the hummus) will tell you all you need to know - You've found a new favorite spot. I've brought a lot of folks here, and Ali Baba never disappoints. The gorgeous expansion of the dining room and the opening of a 2nd location (which I have yet to visit in Highlands Ranch) suggests I'm not alone in thinking this place serves some good food. On busy weekend evenings, the service can be harried, otherwise expect good, unobtrusive service. The mint tea is superb and the fresh lemonade is very good, but powerful sweet - you might want to ask for an extra glass of ice to dilute it down a bit.\r

If it's after 9pm, we go to Jerusalem. Any other time, we go to Ali Baba, gladly cruising out to Golden for this wonderful stuff.
Pros: Best Middle Eastern food in Denver with friendly service & great decor
Cons: none, even the drive out goes quickly
