Ali Baba’s Harrow

You're walking past the usual Station Road parade of chain shops when Ali Baba's catches your eye—nothing fancy about the frontage, but that's precisely the point. Inside, it's unpretentious and genuinely busy, the kind of place where regulars know what they want and the kitchen knows how to deliver it. The menu does the classics without showing off: think properly spiced mezze, grilled meats done right, and the sort of hummus that tastes like someone actually cares. It's the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that works because it doesn't try to be anything other than good at what it does.
