"A Great Restaurant" A review posted by froggyhi on 02/19/2004 on www.citysearch.com
I love the food at Ali Baba's. It's a Davis staple, and it's just off the UC Davis campus. Their daily specials are the best deal on the menu. Wednesday's and Friday's specials are my favorite. Wed. is a curry chicken with yogurt on the side and lots of dill & lima bean flavored rice. Fri. is pomegranate chicken with walnuts and basmati rice. I know they sound a little odd, but the combination of flavors are intense and mouth watering, never over powering. Their burgers are generous, and you have to try the fries. I think the fries are best when taken to-go and left to sweat in the paper bag for a little while (about as long as it takes to get to class ;)). Their burritos are also great, very juicy, Mediterranean style, with lots of cucumber yogurt. Calling in your order, because sometimes there’s a wait.
 

Join us for the second general meeting in Wellman 119 (same place as the first meeting) at 8pm. Come and find out info about the Ski Trip, Iranian Cultural Awareness,
and lots more. Stay longer to play games and enjoy a good time.

Monday 11/22/04 - Movie Night: Marmoolak

Come and watch an Iranian movie with friends. Wellman 2 at 8pm.

A satirical snipe at the life of Iran's clergy, "Marmoulak" ("The Lizard"), has become a box office hit here after only narrowly making it through the Islamic republics scissor-wielding censors. Director Kamal Tabrizi's film begins with a daring prison escape by convicted thief and anti-hero Reza, jailed for life for being caught one too many times. more...
