I’m so glad I found this place!! Everything is so dang good! Brought my picking husband and surprisingly he loved it too! Everything is so fresh! My little girl loved the fresh smoothie as well! Highly recommended!
I have to admit that I didn’t have big expectations walking into Aladdin’s. My wife wanted to come in. I was so pleasantly surprised by food.
Everything was freshly made and amazingly good. My wife and I had the falafel as an appetizer (super tasty) and we each ordered the Genie’s Combo Plate. The mix of flavors in the Genie’s plate was great … wow great. Between the super moist chicken, the pickled turnips, fried cauliflower, citrusy salad, and hummus, your tasty buds will be dancing.
Genie’s Combo Plate: Chicken mishwi on a bed of seasoned rice with vermicelli; served with lebanese salata, hummus, lightly fried cauliflower florets drizzled with tahini lemon dressing, and pickled turnips.
I have Celiac disease so I love it when I find healthy food options that are Gluten Free. I've only recently found Aladdin's and been there once, but it was a great start; I'm sure I'll be going back again.
I love Mediterranean food esp garlicky Hummus(my friends & family say I make the best hummus), shawarmas & falafels so will review without being biased. The food that we ordered was from their specialty plate menu & it was really good except the over-burnt chicken in hummus chicken. Also I would have enjoyed it more if it came with pita. But the hummus was so creamy and light(better than mine) & didn’t feel the need of asking for pita. The new Genie Combo plate on the menu is also so flavorful; looking at the plate I thought it was too much food but was able to finish it all. Great visit, nice place with ample seating outdoors too. Service could have been better.
I am very excited to have found this gem with lots of vegan and gluten-free options.
The atmosphere is great, food is delicious and the staff specially Miranda, is very nice.
I started with lentil soup and the spicy cauliflower. The flavors for both were rich and colorful.
Then for the main course, the Mujadara Power Salad with falafel. To have a more subtle dish I removed the fried onion and it was a nice balance after having the rich appetizers.
Overall, it was a great experience!
