Great atmosphere.Good Parking πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰Quality is great property.πŸ₯°πŸŽ‰The journey you start today has lots of opportunities and lots of risks, but as long as you keep your faith in you, nothing can stop you to go ahead. Push your limitation always and give your best.It is good to be driven by measuring results and using a metric, but don’t forget that a business in its core is people-centric.Good luck with your new venture.

Went around 12 when there was no crowd at all and we were able to park comfortably. Usually, when we see from outside there are more cars there than this place can handle.The place is spacious, service is good. We had asked for an extra egg to be put in the egg fried rice and they did not seem to get it and while serving when we asked about it, the person said, no extra sir only correct portion. 😐Tried the meals, egg fried rice and honey glazed beef. The honey glazed one was more spicy than sweet, but it was good. The meat could have been more tender. The meals were good, the rice portion may seem less, but its actually filling.The restrooms and handwash was maintained well. Kids enjoyed their small aquarium and the auto they kept inside. There is good space for them to move around.

Well Placed restaurant with Sleepy service and extortionate price on most of the dishes .Would be grateful if management could clarify how the pricing structure is made up? 30 to 40 minutes delay in serving the foods for no reason. Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. So listen to them and correct your mistakes and keep an eye on your immediate competitors.

Alibaba really needs to turn it a notch. Food was so darn average that one would barely opt it a second time.During this lockdown, we ordered a delivery. Our orders were Chicken chilly, mutton roganjosh, Chicken Curry, beef ularthu, paratha and garlic nan.The Chicken Chilly was half Oil. A sea of Oil was floating over the chicken slices and it was tasting mostly like tomato sauce. The Chicken curry, again quarter portio oil, was a bit bland with an overcharge of spiciness- this was uncalled for. The Mutton roganjosh was too sugary with no vibe of a mutton recipe. Their Garlic nan was like a non-chewable chewing gum. I kept chewing on it and chewing on it till I gave up and then moved onto their parathas, which were surprisingly above-average. Beef ularthu was the only likable dish in the whole order. It was cooked to the right levels of dense spice ranks and quite delicious.The entire order cost us close to Rs 1500 and was not even half the worth. Our dinner was so disappointing. I would advice to management to seriously look into their preparation style, as this was once a great restaurant during its opening days. I cant believe that Bab Arabia is one of their spin-offs.

A decent place, nicely decorated. Food is satisfactory, so you might find quite a rush there most of the time. Here are few other items from the menu I tried and their review:Chicken Lollipop- Good (Spicy)Awadhi Murgh- Good ( Mild Curry)Meals- OKMushroom Masala- Not goodVeg Biriyani- OKVeg Fried rice - OKHot and Sour Vegetable soup- GoodOverall I would say, it depends on what you order, some of the dishes are great ,while others are not that good.

Review β„–12

Such a terrible terrible place with worst food ever, with such humongous price.We ordered beef roast which was horrendous. We complained to the manager and thats when the guys in the kitchen seemed to be telling him it was the new chef, hes making this dish for the first time. Its like these guys already knew what was happening and they purposefully tried their new chef on us.Seriously, dining at Alibaba and 41 Dishes is our worst nightmare ever

Ordered mix platter based on reviews and many YouTube videos but regretted it instantly. it was served cold and was tasteless. Kebabs were dry to point that it just felt like crumbs. None of the grills in the platter was good.But the Ambience is really good and place is kept really clean.

One of the next prawn curry you will find in the entire city. Also tried their Mutton Raan (wow)! These two things have great taste, so does the paneer butter masala. It is in the northern Trivandrum area, so it is a MUST TRY whenever you are around that area.

Good multi cuisine spread with reasonably priced food. The ambiance is very good with clean arrangements. Deserts are awesome specially their signature faluda. πŸ‘ŒThe only downside is service time and the waiters who are not up to the mark. You have to ask them to do basic stuff like cleaning the table once you have finished etc. I asked one of the guy to pick up the spilled food from floor but he just ignored. πŸ‘Ž

Authentic tastes. Its a best restaurant to have good food with best price in Trivandrum. Have full AC seating. Indoor seating is more colorful. Lighting of this area soothes us. But seats are limited in rush times. Food is very tasty whether it is non or veg. No time delay for serving. Online orders are also more trustful and fast. Biriyanis are more tasty and all breakfast is more mouth watering dishes. Its nice choice to have best food in the city and you can have it very fast. Table Reservations are available. I am extremely satisfied with the quality, quantity & taste of the food. The service of the staff were also good. Parking is very limited at dedicated space and along the road side. Valet services are available and helpful at rush hours.

Well I am impressed . We were in a hurry and ended up ordering biriyani . No complains at all . The food was yummy, served hot . Decent rest rooms and ambience . The place also has an exclusive tea and snacks outlet making it a perfect place for all occasions. The food is a little overpriced but felt it’s worth that extra. We were pleasantly surprised by the service too. The place also offers a live fish counter (sea food Pick and cook).Ample parking .

Alibaba is one of the finest and well-known restaurants in Thiruvananthapuram. Though it is near roadside it doesnt offer a great parking lot. Alibaba is set up with a unique kind of decoration and it gives a wonderful ambiance. They have a wide variety of dishes including the Arabic and Kerala traditional dishes. Alibaba is quite expensive when compared with the similar ones in the area.

Review β„–39

Alibaba and 41 dishes, I visited this place during my December vacation and I was disappointed. Especially about the costumer service. I wont feel like we are heartily welcomed into the restaurant. About the food. We didnt have a whole lot of choices, but just the usual thing. We had porotta, chicken chilli, ghee rice and some other chicken recipe which I dont remember. About the taste It was all ok ok and was not as expected. May be because our timing was not correct. When ordered for other dishes they said it will be available only at 7 pm.

On the last day of the trip, my friend took is to Alibaba & 41 dishes a place where his parents wanted to treat us on our day of Landing in Trivandrum but cancelled due to flight delay.Its a nice place with great ambience and friendly staff.Coming to food we ordered sea platter, crab fry and Biryani. Crab fry was finger liking good. In sea platter tiger prawns tasted good but sliced king fish and fish fry disappointed due to previous tastes we had , squid was ok.Biryani as usual a taste unknown to me describe being in Hyderabad for last 12 years dont want to think much on it.Lastly for Arabic kunafa a dessert made of cheese, Saniya and sweet syrup it tasted nice , something different but real expensiveTotal bill 2752 for 3 people
