Was 1970grave at Abo Ali a mag?
I have been dining at Abo Ali's for more than a decade. I keep coming back because they serve the most delicious BBQ and kebabs in South Wales, along with outstanding service and a cozy, inviting ambiance. I would give it a perfect score every time - 10 out of 10. View all feedback.

What Sam B dislikes about Abo Ali:
I ordered a doner kebab for delivery and it arrived dry and pre-wrapped, causing the bread to become soggy. The portion of garlic mayo provided was also very small. Overall, it was not the experience I was expecting. View all feedback.

I have been going to Abo Ali for years and before that I went to the owners previous restaurant. His food is fantastic and he is always friendly and accommodating when I visit. Definitely in my top 3 restaurants on City rd. There is a reason why this restaurant hasn’t changed hands or closed as so many others have done on city rd and that’s because he managed keep his customers happy with great food and service!

Food was freezing cold, served with stone cold Naan bread and when I asked for a fresh one they put it in microwave and brought it back, when I asked can you please give me a fresh one he said very rudely that our oven is not working, when we were leaving and I mentioned that the food was freezing cold then he was denying it, and said it’s only our people who comes and complain and I don’t want our people to come to my restaurant, I tried to make a video of what he said but he won’t repeat it, the worse experience I ever had in restaurant If there was a negative review option available I would given minus ten,
