Great food, love the house salad and if I'm in the mood for falafel, they do not disappoint. The chicken tawook is also excellent along with the shish kabob platter and the shish kabob salad. The baba ganoush was a little overly garlicly the last time we went but overall this place is consistently good. And the desserts... oh my god the desserts. They are so good, the only problem is deciding which one to eat.

They messed up our order. Didn't give us any bread with our hummus. We ordered curried chicken and they gave us beef instead. They usually are good but not on this night.

You want to dislike it because it's a chain, but it's so tasty across the board, the servers are unfailingly genial and attractive, and it's very nicely decorated and maintained, with reasonable prices. One of our go-to places in Mt. Lebanon.

Nice staff. Love the tabbouleh, falafel, baba, soups, and salads Not actually that big on their desserts, though.
I could eat here at least 2x/week.

One of my absolute favorites in Mount Lebanon. Smoothies, soups, salads, and hummus are all outstanding. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly. Middle eastern treats are a great respite from typical Pittsburgh bar food and pizzas.

Vegans Welcome! Clean, bright and done right!. Finally somewhere in MT. Lebo got it right! You can't help how other customers may act (especially in an old money-delusional kind of upper class neighborhood like Mt. Lebonon), but the staff is GREAT! It doesn't matter if you come in with a suit or a sports bra after the gym, they treat you with a polite action that makes you feel welcomed. That right there was enough to have me come back (as most other places in this area get this aspect wrong).

The food is something you'd find in a big city from a caring kitchen staff. A city like Pittsburgh is much more progressive than it's East Coast counterparts like Cleveland or Buffalo. Therefore, I was really happy to see vegetarian and even VEGAN options on the menu!

I order the Mediterranean platter (to try a little bit of everything) and I was not disappointed. I have had bad hummus and bad felafel across the USA, and this place just slammed it out of the park! Nothing was under/over cooked/fried or under/over seasoned. It was perfect! The sauces were very good as well. The vegetarian options for soup were robust and bright yet not over seasoned. I suspect they let the natural flavors of the veggies do most of the talking here and while it was fresher than most American are probably used to (how sad is that!), it was absolutely lovely and tasty; just not in an over salted-typical kind of way.

The main idea that rocked was consistency! Any restaurant can have good food if you catch them on a good day; then you go back and the exact same dish isn't nearly as good. This place was NOT that at all. I ordered the soup and platter many times and every single time it was the same - DYNAMITE!!!

Surprisingly, the prices were not over the top either! For a place like Mt Lebo that may charge you $5 for a cup of coffee in a local shop, this was very refreshing to see.

They have other locations in the city as well, but I have not been there.

DOGS WELCOMED OUTSIDE!

Masterful Mediterranean. I love having an Aladdin's nearby. The food is consistently delicious and it's an excellent choice when you feel like eating good, wholesome, clean food. We regularly choose Len-Chili, the Loubie Platter, a Pitza or anything with the Chicken Shawarma. House dressing really brings the salads to life. Great food!

Variety is the spice of life. I love that there's a place nearby where I can get something different when I don't want to cook. Sometimes I just want something different, not the typical burger and fries or pizza & subs. This fills the void. The atmosphere inside is comfortable and laid back. The service is friendly, and the food is consistently good. The Foole M Damas is great. And the salads just make me happy. The price is reasonable, and the desserts beckon even when just walking by.

Gluten-Free Friendly. This restaurant has a special menu available that has which of their dishes are gluten free and which are vegan. It is a fairly extensive list. Just ask when being seated. The food was delicious. I'll definitely go back.

Always pleased. I've only been to this location and never have had a bad experience. I have dined in and taken out here. I've only had a handful of items on the menu but have never been disappointed. For lunch today I had the Shawarma Rolled. It was my 2nd time having this and I love it!

WOW. This place has it all. The food is great. The service is fast and friendly. The food is great, The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The food is great. The desserts are tasty enough to make you want to come in just for them. Did I mention the food is great. My wife and I found this place after Jasmine's closed and are sorry we didn't find it sooner. We were always weary to go there because of parking, but it is worth it.

Neat place with a nice vibe.. I really liked it here. We stopped for a late lunch and I munched on hummus with a couple of glasses of three blind moose wine. Cool little place to relax with some wine, good food and friends.

What's Not to Like. It's cheap, it seems somewhat healthy, and is consistent. The lunch and dinner prices are the same and it's just good food. The only downside is I'm not always in the mood for Mediterranean, but that's my problem, not theirs.

Loves it!. I've been eating at this location for years. it's one of my favorite restaurants in the area. they have amazing food, killer desserts, and a great beer selection.

i'd encourage anyone looking for something other than pizza and wings to check it out. the servers know the menu well and can make some suggestions for some first timers. it's a small restaurant but very nice and super clean. a definite must try!

Great food and dessert!. I love this place and I plan to go back many more times to try more menu items. The falafel salad is great. Also, the desserts are amazing - be sure to save room or make a special trip just for it. Yum!

We've been happy with things there.  Portions are good sized.   We like their hummus garden wrap, their lamb and tuna and their smoothies and juices.  Their salads are generally abundant.  Staff is usually friendly and they know the food.

A nice meal, filling but not too filling, and not too hard on the wallet! I think our meal and drink plus tax plus tip plus parking totaled $40.

Good spot, great vibe, and amazing service. Lili was a great server and very knowledgeable. I tried Jasmine's favorite rice topped with beef shawarma; the rice tasted really good, but the beef shawarma was average. If I have more time in Mt Lebanon, I will come back again to try something else.

Aladdin’s never disappoints! We had a real nice dinner tonight. I had the Aladdin’s platter and my wife had the Gene’s Combo platter. BOTH were delicious! I highly recommend eating here in Mt.Lebanon. I can’t wait to come back again! Leah was our server and she was informative about the menu and attentive. I wish they would open a new Aladdin’s in the West Hills area! Does Aladdin’s in Mt. Lebanon, PA do CATERING ?? Does Aladdin’s in Mt. Lebanon, PA deliver to the Airport?

Chicken salad salad was delicious as usual. Soup and a dish of spicy cauliflower made my dining partner happy in a cold day. We've never ordered anything that disappointed us!

I’ve never been let down at any Aladdin’s location. The food is delicious and fresh, the portions are appropriate, and the prices are great given the aforementioned quality and portion. I’m a sucker for any of the wraps with pickled turnips on them and the tabouli is amazing.

Very good food and the staff care and are knowledgeable. Get the hummus with veggies. While the food here is normally very good, recently the cauliflower appetizer has been subpar.

Our first time here, and we were very pleasantly surprised. A casual, yet serene vibe. Our server was very attentive and helpful. That MENU though! Varied with plentiful vegan and vegetarian options. My husband got a salad with grilled chicken and it was superb!! Utterly fresh. We shared a bit and still took some home. We shared hummus and pita, very good. A small served two easily. I loved my "rolled" dish. Delicious chicken shwarma rolled in an oversize pita and lightly toasted. Think of a long, skinny burrito. Tender chicken with veggies and sauce, just splendid. We skipped dessert as we were full. We saw plentiful choices of baklava an.various cakes and cheesecake. We will recommend this restaurant to everyone, and will be back soon. I won't ding them any stars this time, but with a heavy takeout business competing with folks in line, it took awhile to be seated. They need two separate stations for.this, definitely. That being said, I LOVED this gem.

Nice place with good ambience. They do have various options for vegans. You will be completely spoiled with their list of appetizers. Don’t forget to try their homemade sauce. The order was quick. We ordered mango smoothie and carrot juice. They are freshly made and I guess without sugar Appetizers - spicy cauliflower and falafel. They cauliflower was too good and falafel was just perfect We ordered hummus tabouli garden wrap - pita bread wrapped with their award winning hummus, tabouli and greens. And also curry chicken wrap. The food was good but we couldn’t complete the plate. Hence, check before you order.. else just take out the remaining for late night munching

The service was amazing! Birthday raw vegan dessert included for my birthday. Food solid but apparently suffering from the great walk out post covid. Restaurant was kinda dirty too with unbussed tables, etc.

The restaurant is in a good location and easily noticeable while driving. The food tasted fresh though the bread that comes with hummus could have been better. We ordered Chicken shawarma and Hummus Falafel veg wrap with turnip and Baba Ghanoush. The food was yummy. The veg soup we ordered was average. There are plenty of options which is a blessing for anyone looking for one. Our server was super attentive and made sure that we were taken care of. The interior is a bit archaic. If you do not find parking onthe main road there is plenty of parking behind the building in the public parking lot for around a dollar per hour.

They don’t miss. The menu is varied and all very healthy and vegetable-forward. They keep the good but are always adding new great things. Take-out is great, too. I *LOVE* that they still have physical menus. Yet, they are still current enough to offer seamless digital payment. The staff at every location is always very nice, the bathrooms are super clean. Honestly I’m blown away every time.

Honestly after 4 visits I can't find anything wrong with this place nor the food. Service is nice over all, food has always been on point, and we even got Lebanese beer this time! The tuna shwarma had huge chunks of grilled tuna and the sauce flavors go together so well.

We ordered falafel which was very tasty. Also, Mujadara speciality food was a big portion which took me 30 minutes to finish. Everyone of us enjoyed the food and quite vibe. I will visit again to try other food too. They have good selection for vegans as well.

If you are looking for a good Middle Eastern food Aladdin's Eatery at Mt. Lebanon is best place to get it. They not only simplify menu by labels such V-for vegetarian VG-vegan GF-gluten free N-contains nuts, but you also get a great choice of smoothies and delicious shareable (cakes are that big) desserts. Depending on a time of the day place can be packed because it’s not that big so you might consider take out. Otherwise atmosphere is so nice that it makes the place be a great place for the dates. I only give it 4 stars because I think they need to offer better tea and coffee-something more than just regular ones.

First off God bless! First time trying Lebanon food and definitely left me intrigued to try more foods, desserts or drinks from Lebanon 🇱🇧 I don’t know if I used to the Pita correctly but I’ll definitely use it if I have to on anybody saying they don’t like it 😂 The pita smelled fresh and even had some scents of spices coming from it (might be wrong) but it smelled like a hint of garlic to me; it was nice and soft, thin, tore easily and was definitely sustainable for scooping up the meat and hummus. I had read online that Hummus has a garlic taste, to me this Hummus might be different; it had a taste of acidity somewhat like lemon or lime squeezed into it. The freshness of the tomatoes, parsley and fried pine nuts gave it a great touch of freshness and texture. I as well got the Diamond Backlava which has a honey taste to it with a flavor I can’t really describe; it had walnuts and it looked like pistachios lightly dusted over it but for some reason it wasn’t satisfying my pallete, which is no big deal because at the end of it I stayed intrigued to give Lebanon food another try! So over all 1 out of 10 I give this food a great 7 🙏🏼
