Best Middle Eastern

AliBaba

Yes, AliBaba is Tucson's Middle Eastern food champ. But what happened to the market of spices and things we couldn't identify or pronounce? Well, there have been some changes in the past year, but thankfully, the recipes were left untouched. Try the best falafel in Tucson, the chef's kabob plate or a fruit smoothie. While we miss the market and the only Muslim newspaper in Tucson, we understand: The restaurant needed more space, and AliBaba is only big enough for one paper: the Tucson Weekly.
