“I love Aladdins! And Sittoos. I was a long time Westsider and patronized Sittoos every Sunday. Now that I moved East, I patronize this Aladdins location often. I treated one of my friends to lunch as she had never tried Lebanese cuisine before this. She got the Cranberry Salad. It was beautiful and she said the chicken was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. I had the Flavor Savor Platter. It came out room temperature, yet the chicken, hummus,rice and salata were delicious. The beef Kafta was well seasoned but over cooked. As always, the garlic and hot sauce were amazing. We started with the fried cauliflower. It was well seasoned, crispy and delicious. The pita was soft and yummy as always. The olive oil added that umph. Next time I'll ask for a sprinkle of zaatar. I also had a tropical smoothie and hot mint tea. The strawberry cake was so light and not too sweet. Our server was super busy as she was handling multiple tables, but friendly and efficient.My only gripe was that there was another server sorting silverware at the empty table next to us. She was throwing it across the table and making so much noise. We couldn't talk over her. Before we could say something, the hostess who greeted us came from the back and signaled her back to the kitchen. I appreciate that the staff were professional about handling it.I love that Aladdins is local, family owned, healthy and elegant to dine in.“

The flavors in my wrap were perfectly balanced and the seasoning on the fries was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Nader was extremely kind, hospitable and attentive. The decor and music really added to the ambiance of the restaurant. The baklava was sweet and delectable, and I got a piece of kunafa I’m eager to devour later. We will be returning soon!“

“Ordered Beef and falafel Schwarma. Personally I had the beef shawarma with paprika salted fries (yum). The beef shawarma was nothing short of spectacular. The beef was tender, juicy, and marinated to perfection, boasting a symphony of spices that danced on the palate. Each bite was complemented by a soft, warm pita bread, a creamy tahini sauce, and a vibrant mix of vegetables that added just the right amount of crunch and acidity to balance the richness of the meat. The beef was cooked to perfection, with edges that were slightly crispy, adding a delightful texture to the overall dish.“

“Ate here very often while on military orders from the coast guard. Food is amazing and the owner is very nice. His food delicious but there's only one chef. Takes 10 minutes for him to make your orders. But the smoothies and sandwiches were always our favorites. He loves to go out of his way to help us. To the point where one time we came in ordered and forget a sandwich at the shop and he left and drove it to us on his own accord. He even went as far as to give us his personal number to order food before they opened for the day so we could text him our order and he'd start making it before they opened.Parking: It's downtown. Paid parking in the street.“
