I met up with my future husband here after his first day of work due to the desire for something flavorful and new…yes, of course we were hungry. I saw the pictures of all the food on Google, the picture of the dancer showed me that this place has culture and good community. The high reviews of this place solidified my choice to go and give it a try. A good amount of parking, a clean lot and a homie feeling that welcomed us through its doors. There are ornamental lanterns, charms and trinkets of the Mediterranean culture that catches one’s eye and leaves you fixated. The owner kindly welcomed us in and to have a seat anywhere we liked. They have regular tables and cushioned booths decorated with pillows, which is where we decided to sit. As we were sitting we were given our menus, and immediately the mural on one side of the room had me daydreaming into a world outside of the US, into a place of beauty and history. Looking at the menu it was a challenge to choose what to eat, everything sounded delicious and full of flavor. I wanted it all! But we decided on the Flaffels which were served with Tzatziki and small slices of pickles 👌 So deliciously homemade. Before that we were served our option of soup or salad and both things were perfect. The lentil soup is something I will be getting again. I swear some people just slop it all in a bowl, but this place, everything about it was well thought out. The cook and the owner have a passion for cooking, you can tell by the presentation and how things are sliced. Everything is fresh. The seasonings are perfect. We never had to ask for anything because it was asked of us before we even thought of it. Wonderful service! Then the main course came…omg. Seared lamb shawarma with onion, yellow saffron rice and dipping sauce, excellent ⭐️ We were full but we ate the whole thing until our bellies hurt 🤤 To top it all off, even after we declined dessert, he brought us the Christmas Baklava 😳 Such hospitality and customer service. A lady came in for an order to go and she said, “Take all my money hahahaha!” Then she looked around as she walked out and said for us to have a great night. When regulars come in and love the owner, you know this place is consistently good. 😊 I’m so happy we got to share this enjoyable experience together. My hubby even said this is one of the best places he’s been to. You got new regulars now! We’ll see you later!

Where to begin? All the food was super delicious and flavorful! Try the Falafel fries, they are really good. The lamb shawarma and gyro rice bowls were delicious. And do not skip on dessert! The baklava and cardamom pistachio ice cream are amazing! We've been here a few times and are always blown away by the flavor. The Lamb is consistently cooked to perfection. They have a small inside seating area, but a large outside patio with lots of tables. The prices were very reasonable as well. We ordered tea, the Falafel fries, two meals, & two desserts for ~$50.

Had a wonderful experience at Aladdin's the other night! We were a party of 5 and everyone absolutely raved about their food. My father in law had the Moroccan lamb and said it was the best he has ever had. The rose and mint lemonade was unbelievably good. I would come back just for the garlic sauce that came with the Kebab, soo good! And the service was unparalleled. I have not experienced true hospitality like that since literally traveling in the Mediterranean, where the owner genuinely connected with us and went out of her way to give us a lovely, memorable experience. It was just wonderful, and I would bring anyone to this restaurant. Thank you so much Aladdin's, we will be back with more family :)

Great food, I had the Lamb shawarma. Also, we had chicken and rice, flat bread salad, fries, with garlic flavored, dipping sauce. Premium cut, great flavor, fresh salad, and a courtesy treat for dessert. Excellent service, attentive, very friendly, with a quiet setting and a medditeranian cultural background. Great atmosphere, I recommend it. The cost for two was just under $40.

Upon being seated, I was pleasantly surprised to find , freshly baked pita bread placed on my table, compliments of the restaurant. This small gesture immediately set the tone for the exceptional dining experience that followed. The pita bread was soft, fluffy, and had a delightful aroma, making it the perfect accompaniment to the flavorsome dishes to come. The staff members were not only attentive and friendly but also genuinely passionate about their food and ensuring a memorable dining experience for every guest. They took the time to explain the menu, made knowledgeable recommendations, and were always ready to address any questions or concerns. Their warm and welcoming demeanor created an inviting atmosphere that made me feel like a valued guest. I ended up getting the the chick shawarma, a classic that I simply couldn't resist. When my order arrived, I was blown away by the mouthwatering aroma that wafted from the plate. The chicken was tender, juicy, and bursting with a perfect blend of Mediterranean spices. Every bite was a harmonious symphony of flavors, elevated by the accompanying fresh vegetables, tangy tzatziki sauce, and fragrant rice. It was a culinary masterpiece that left me craving more.

If you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food in a cozy and inviting atmosphere, look no further than Aladdin's Cafe! The menu offers a range of options, but I highly recommend trying their chicken wrap, garlic fries and falafel. The wraps are bursting with flavor and are generously filled with fresh ingredients and tasty sauces. Each bite is a perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors that will leave you wanting more. The falafels are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and are served with a side of hummus. Don't forget to try their tea - it's fragrant and delicious, and the perfect complement to any meal. The portions are generous, and what sets this restaurant apart is the quality of the food, cozy location (we sat outside) and the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Mediterranean food or is looking for a new place to try.

Entrees fatoush salad with chicken and chicken shawarma *chefs kiss* ❤️. DEFINITELY will go back again.

This is hands down one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have ever eaten at!! It is as good as homemade and the taste is absolutely delish. Every dish has a uniquely traditional taste just as one would get at a restaurant back in the Middle East- and we would know cause we've lived there. The owner Dianah served us and she was so kind and hospitable! It was a pleasure to meet her as well. Would highly recommend this place for the warm hospitality and amazing food!
