Everytime I go, I order something different and everytime I am suprised by the flavours and the taste. Amazing food, amazing service, great portions. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended!

Best Tunisian food in Rotorua , come hea scpecialy from Auckland a 3 hour drive to eat whenever I feel like eating cruscrute n rice meal reccomend to family n friends
Original Berber food in Rotorua? Hard to find? Well No! Ali Baba’s doing a good job of serving exquisite Berber cuisine.
I tried Kascrute, which is lamb, chicken, falafel cooked with tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, spinach and berber spices! It was absolutely delicious (just 16 bucks!)
Also, Amazigh (tomato and coconut cream) was amazing! Apparently, the Tunisians like to mix Amazigh with their rice. That’s Berber rice for you!
Amazigh = Amazing!
The place’s a great option for curious foodies. For people not so keen on experimenting, there are options like Berber Pizza that would not be a disappointment!
Food- 5*
Service- 5* (The lad with the big smile was warm)
Ambience- 3* (Well it’s a takeaway place so no judgements :-)
Je ne sais quois factor - Full marks!
Just go.
Food here is just amazing. May look like a kebab shop from the outside but everything on the menu is so unique and genuinely authentic in flavours. The Berber chicken - was the best but the Tunisia rice was good as well. Kascrute another must try. We are surely coming again and again to try the rest of the items on the menu. We were a big group so was hard to find a big table and orders took a bit of time as it was Saturday night and the restaurant was very busy. But the food was worth the wait and staff was lovely.
Food here is to die for.... wow
We tried Amazinghh rice dish and Ali baba’s pasta both of them were amazing to the point the we never wanted to stop eating
Very friendly owner and other staff member definately coming back whenever we get a chance
Not your usual kebab shop
This cafe does serve the usual kebabs - but there also are some interesting Tunisian rice and pasta dishes on the menu. We tried a chicken and rice dish with an Amazigh (tomato and coconut cream) sauce and a falafel salad. The food was really good - delicious and full of flavour and spice. It was very well priced and the service from the young man on the counter was exceptional.
The food here is mouth-watering!! The Berber rice is unbelievably amazing.. The kebabs are also wonderful.. The spicy lemon dressing is highly recommended!
My family and I ended up here looking for a quick lunch to satisfy a Hangry 13 year old boy, and really didn't expect the quality food we found! Fantastic flavours, generous portions and not just your usual kebab fare. I had the mixed kebab with trimmings, and the hot chilli sauce and it was very moreish. The boys standard kebabs disappeared very quickly, and my wife had the kascrute, which was Amazing!
Don't expect ambiance, but, the staff were quick, friendly and we left very satisfied!
We went to Rotorua for a holiday and stopped off at this spot for dinner. The owners were lovely and dinner was quick to arrive. I had the fresh salad with falafel and is was delicious and quite filling. We also had the garlic cheese bread which didn't real have much flavour. The food was tasty, the service was excellent and I can't wait to go there again.
Best meat I have ever had in Rotorua! Crispy outside and tender inside. I tried the rice meal with coconut sauce(Amazigh), and a Kascrute (mixed meat and salads in a wrap), both of them super fresh and delicious. It’s a cafe rather than a restaurant. It’s Warm.
Food quality is high, the tastes are unique with the flavours offered being very different to other kebab on rice places. The pizza will blow you away. The staff is good to talk to. Prices are reasonable. Dine-ins and takeaways both have worked out pretty well for me with this joint.
Great place to eat in Rotorua. The quality of the food is great, huge portions and the owners very friendly.
Great food. The flavor explodes in your mouth from the first try.
Exceeded expectations. Food was absolutely delicious. The guy recommended two dishes and I am so happy we went with his recommendations. Full of flavour. Great portions and good prices!! Do yourselves a favor and give this place a try. We will be back.
Certified Halal, Affordable, Homely and Delicious.
A must visit for Muslim tourists in the area.
The owner and staff were lively and very accommodating. We arrived at 7:30pm and they had sold out of most food. If that isn't a testamant to a good kebab shop, I dotn know what is.
We had their Arabian Pizza, Faafel Salad and a pasta dish. The pizza was beautiful, if you like spice their house made harissa was amazing on the pizza.
The falafel salad was the underdog though, the Tamarind seasoned capers were an amazing addition with roast Capsicum. The falafel were fresh and simply perfect the plating was also very well thought out
The owner was very generous, upon my offering a tip, i wa stold to save up and pay for my parents pilgrimage
Amazing food 10/10 very authentic and friendly staff.
We tried the pasta, rice and the kascrute and they all ticked the good boxes. Highly recommend
We went last Saturday night. The place were very busy, so the waiter said very kindly that they have a delay. Really worth waited for the food!! Everything tasted very authentic and delicious. The portions are very generous!!
I love it this place, really enjoy the food and the kindly service.
Amazing flavors from Tunisia! This is a hidden gem. I recommend a stop over at this joint for lunch or dinner while you're in Rotorua! Great value for your money, and a cultural food experience that's beyond your normal local kebab shop. Enjoy!
