The people behind a Turkish restaurant and a Mexican eatery in Boston will be opening a new spot that offers dishes found at both places.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Ali Baba plans to open in Charlestown in the former Asian House space on Cambridge Street, with the owners of Ali Baba and El Triunfo on East Berkeley Street in the South End running the new place. As Eater Boston says, the new location of Ali Baba will not be a fusion spot, instead offering both Turkish dishes and Mexican dishes that are found at the two South End restaurants, so the new restaurant could offer such options as kofte, shish kebab, tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
If all goes as planned, the new location of Ali Baba may be opening later this month.
It looks like the address for Ali Baba will be 100 Cambridge Street in Charlestown, which is near the Somerville border (and just west of Sullivan Square).
