Ali Baba Corby Kebab & Pizza

Let me tell you about the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food—it stages a miracle. I’m talking about Ali Baba Corby Kebab & Pizza, a chippy in Corby that has somehow, against all odds, united the warring tribes of late-night snackers. You walk in hungry, and you leave feeling like you’ve just shaken hands with a culinary wizard.

The Kebab That Needs a Map

First, let’s talk about the kebab. This isn’t just meat on a stick; it’s a monument to human ambition. The doner is so generously stacked that locals swear it has its own gravitational pull.

One bite, and you’ll understand why the phrase “shish in the park” suddenly makes sense. It’s surprisingly juicy, which is a scientific miracle considering the sheer volume of meat spinning on that vertical rotisserie.

Pizza: The Unexpected Plot Twist

Now, you’d expect a kebab shop’s pizza to be a sad, cardboard afterthought. But at Ali Baba, the pizza is a secret weapon. The base is thin, crispy, and folds like a soft taco—perfect for when you’re trying to eat and walk in a straight line.

The cheese is so stretchy it could be used to tow a small car. And they don’t skimp on the pepperoni; it’s like a game of “find the sausage,” and you always win.

The Shocking Fact: The Garlic Mayo

Here’s a surprising truth that will change your life: Ali Baba makes their garlic sauce from scratch. I know, I know—it sounds illegal. But it’s so potent that a single dollop can ward off vampires, mosquitos, and awkward small talk for a week.

Order the “mix” box (kebab meat, chips, and pizza strips) and ask for a bucket of that sauce. You’ll thank me when you’re dipping your fries in liquid gold at 2 a.m.

The Vibe: Organized Chaos

The interior is a time capsule of 1990s Corby: melamine tables, a jukebox that plays only Europop, and a staff member who will shout your order number like a drill sergeant. It’s not fine dining—it’s a cult.

One little-known fact: the owner, a man named Baba (yes, really), once served a kebab to a local MP who was hiding from his wife. That’s the kind of discretion only a grease-stained apron can buy.

Why You Must Go (Especially Drunk)

You haven’t lived until you’ve stumbled out of a Corby pub at midnight and seen the glowing green sign of Ali Baba. It’s a beacon of hope, a lighthouse for the lost and hungry.

The chips are double-cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, like tiny potato clouds. And if you order the “Special,” you get a bonus onion ring that’s bigger than your face. I’m not exaggerating; it could double as a spare tire.

The Giveaway: Free Pickled Chilies

The best part? They throw in a handful of pickled chilies for free. These little green devils are so hot they’ll make you re-evaluate your life choices. But you keep eating them because they taste like pure joy.

One local legend claims that eating three of these at 3 a.m. will cure a hangover. Science hasn’t proven it, but I’ve seen a grown man cry and then laugh into his kebab wrap. That’s a win in my book.

So next time you’re in Corby and your stomach demands a hero, skip the fancy restaurants. Head to Ali Baba Corby Kebab & Pizza. Bring cash, bring a big appetite, and leave your dignity at the door. It’s the only place where a cardboard box can contain a universe of flavor.
