Ali Baba Restaurant

In Morgantown, Ali Baba Restaurant has an unusual location: the municipal airport, just off Hart Field Road. The restaurant traces its history to 1978 and serves a blend of Mediterranean and American cooking, with Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese influences. Its airport address does not make it a quick-stop counter: the official site presents a sit-down restaurant serving lunch and dinner, with catering and banquet options as well.

The food centers on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, while the menu also aims to welcome diners looking for familiar American dishes. The restaurant emphasizes fresh preparation, flavor, and hospitality. Its own history notes that the menu expanded to include Lebanese dishes after a change in ownership in 2018. That combination helps explain its staying power as a local restaurant beyond airport traffic.

It works best as a planned meal rather than an improvised stop: the restaurant lists split lunch and dinner hours Monday through Saturday and a Sunday closing, so check the schedule before heading out. For travelers passing through the airport and Morgantown residents seeking Mediterranean flavors, Ali Baba offers a long-running option in an unexpected corner of the city.
