What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Alibaba none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

Questions about Alibaba
What is Alibaba's food hygiene rating?
Alibaba has a food hygiene rating of 4 out of 5 (good), given by Bristol Council on 6 August 2026.
Is Alibaba safe to eat at?
The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 4 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this takeaway to be good, the top end of the scale.
When was Alibaba last inspected?
Alibaba was last inspected on 6 August 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Bristol Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Alibaba?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "generally satisfactory". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Alibaba compare to other places in Bristol?
76% of the 3,724 rated food businesses in Bristol hold the top rating of 5, while Alibaba holds a 4. 612 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Bristol Council inspects Alibaba and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
