I'd never tried Mediterranean food before Aladdin's, and I'm so glad we went when me and the roommate first tried it around a year and a half ago. This place is definitely my favorite restaurant- well, period. And you can bet we made it a point to bring our long time friend here the first day she moved out to this state. We can only afford to go out to eat maybe a few times a year in this household, but I eagerly anticipate the next time we can visit. The food and the staff are more than worth the money.
Not the most detailed review about the food itself, I know. I don't have the words to properly express what I think of the flavors in detail- just trust me that it's some of the best food I've had and that the staff and owner were super friendly, helpful, and personable.
What a wonderful family run and delicious place! My family and I have been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed. The cuisine is always fresh, and they have something for every palate, including gluten free, and vegetarian. Love !
I havnt had authentic Mediterranean/Lebanese style food in almost 10 years. Not since my last port visit to Bahrain. The food is absolutely exquisite, every bite catches your attention. Customer service and atmosphere are personal and thrilling. This place is perfect for a lovely romantic or personal date with loved ones.
My kids' new favorite: Lebanese food. I highly recommend Aladdin's Palace in Silverdale. I've always loved this place, but only very recently introduced it to my kids (8 and 12). The owner is lovely, always had been warm and inviting and the food is ridiculous. Please frequent this restaurant- it's locally owned, by wonderful people, and the food is simply amazeballs.
Best place to go to for Mediterranean food in Kitsap. The staff is phenomenal and the food was excellent. Will be going again soon.

Best food I've ever had the pleasure of eating! My husband and I were headed back from Tacoma after a long weekend and wanted a place where we could eat authentic Gyros. I called Aladdin's Palace and the kind owner kept his doors open an extra hour to two hours just so we could eat! This is by far the best service I've ever had at a restaurant and for never trying Arabian food before I can sure say they have me sold!! ❤️❤️❤️
The manager served us this day and he was great and I had never had Mediterranean food before so he picked something for us and it was wonderful, I had lamb, chicken, and beef and it was delicious!!!
Amazing! Treated like family and I was blown away by the food! Never tasted anything like it!!
Thank you for a great lamb dinner! Started with hummus and pita followed by lentil soup. Main course was the lamb roast. Baklava and Arabic coffee for desert. Its been a long time. Great service. Will have to mske it a point to eat there more often in the coming year.
The food is always amazing and the service is the best! I love eating at Aladdins!

Awesome food and friendly staff!!! A+++++
We ate there for the first time tonight. Everything that was brought to our table was delicious! Everything was made from scratch and you could tell that a lot of love and effort go into their food. Quality is very important to them. The service was wonderful. We felt very well taken care of. The fried cauliflower was amazing. As was the humus and gyro, but the baklava was by far the best I've ever tasted. Will definitely return.
This place is wonderful! The food is delightful, the host is such a great man. Very hospitable, and hilarious. Caters to his patrons very well. Love the hummus and cauliflower appetizers!!!! And their Turkish coffee omg! My dental office I work at comes here for group lunches and it's always a positive time and good music
Had a pleasure of eating some beautiful food!!! We will be back!
Thank you so much �
Great food but too pricey. We went for our anniversary . I had the grape leaves and my husband had the sampler. The food was excellent and portions were generous. The service was good. The owner greeted us which was a nice touch. The menu that is posted must be very old because the prices are very low. The fountain sodas are $3.50 each. We paid over $60. for two meals. If money isn't a concern than I recommend it. It was a Saturday night at dinnertime and there were only 2 other tables. I'm afraid this restaurant will close with such high prices.
Food was good, service was good, price was ridiculous, 1 person, 1 entre and a soda $32. Wow.
Best restaurant in all of kitsap county.
I Love This Place!. Excellent food, excellent service, a comfy ambiance-the owners are very friendly and remember you after the first visit-i eat here for special occasions only as the prices are a little too high for more than that-overall, a wonderful restaurant!
Best and only Mediterranean in the area. Delicious and ethnic, exquisite dishes, the service is amazing, because of service I feel at home there!
~~NEW Aug 27. 2019~~
My husband and I celebrated our 13th Anniversary Aug 27, 2019, and because we love the food and enjoy Kamal, we decided to have dinner at Aladdins.
As usual, Kamal was friendly and inviting. I ordered the Shish Tawook Chicken Curry and my husband had the Kafta Kebab Beef. Both entrees came with that enormous dinner salad with his secret dressing, delightful melt in the mouth rice with a dash of cinnamon topping it as well as their homemade hummus. First of all, let me say, I have NEVER enjoyed hummus, I have tried it on several occasions, at several different places; the texture was unusually weird to me and the taste wasn't anything I cared to repeat. Because my dinner came with hummus, I decided to try it again last night, and Kamals Hummus was splendid. In fact, both of our dinners were delightful. We topped it off with Baklava to go. The only thing I regret about that Baklava was I didn't have a piece for today!
Kamal, you are a breath of fresh air, in our world full of turmoil and turbulence it is always enjoyable seeing someone who appears to be caring and kindhearted.
Give Aladdin a try, if for no other reason do it knowing that you are supporting a family-owned and run business; and don't forget the Baklava =D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm starting this review off by saying if for no other reason, dine at this restaurant for the sheer friendliness of the owner Kamal. He was funny, very hospitable, and easy going and made us feel very comfortable.
Ok, on with my review. Aladdin's Palace is in a somewhat different location, meaning I have driven by this restaurant thousands of times, and it honestly didn't dawn on me that there was a fantastic little restaurant here located between a prosthetic/orthotic store and an eye clinic; so when my husband suggested trying it last night, I was all aboard with the idea.
We showed up around 4 pm, pretty quiet in the restaurant beings we were the only ones there for a little bit. The first thing I noticed was how lovely the tables had been set up; how clean and aesthetically pleasing the inside looked.
Creative wall art and pieces of authentic decor graced the walls and corners of this little restaurant.
Camille was prompt on giving us menus and asked for drink orders.
Stumped on what to order because there were many yummy sounding items to choose from, including vegetarian dishes; we finally decided on Cabbage Rolls for me and a Gyro for my husband; both entrees came with salad or soup and fresh pitas. We both chose a salad and what a large side salad it was, with a tasty homemade dressing that had a hint of mint.
I really can't explain the deliciously unique taste of my cabbage rolls, other than I was extremely pleased with them as they (and the rice served) practically melted in my mouth.
I could tell that a lot of love and hard work went into making them.
My husband was equally as pleased with his Gyro, the special tahini sauce, and all the grilled veggies that laid on top of the seasoned beef, no tough meat there, just pure goodness!
Although Aladdin's Palace shares parking with the other businesses, there is plenty of parking due to the fact Trader Joe and Bed Bath & Beyond is steps away.
Unfortunately, There was no need to visit the ladies room so I am unable to give my opinion on them.
So, when you look at the menu, and you're a tiny bit sticker shocked remember, there is a lot of quality homemade food being made here, ample portions, it's a family owned and run business, and the owner is truly one of a kind!
Definitely give it a try!
The entrance may look crazy, but the food, the environment, and the service were fantastic! Everything was delicious and prepared with meticulous care. Sides that are usually just added to supplement a main dish in other restaurants were cooked with the same care and deliciousness as the main course. It's obvious that this chef loves his craft, and I'm glad I got the chance to eat here.
My only regret is that I didn't find this place sooner. The owner and waitress were attentive and helpful. The food was so amazing. The best lentil soup I have ever had. My daughter tried to use her finger to get the las drop out of the bowl. (She is 5) We had the house combination and everything was cooked to perfection and made with love. All the other people in the dining room were regulars who have been coming to this place for 20 years. I am happy I found this place and you will be too.
Very quaint and hospitable. Excellent food and nice quiet ambiance. We came for the lunch, but I'm sure the dinner here gets hopping. A good place for a date night so you can get to know that new person you just met. Very authentic cuisine.
Love the friendly proprietor! Holy garlic and sesame Batman! Just had the Chicken Shawarma (hint it's not on the menu) and I almost cried at how good it was. Seriously. Other options I've tried and liked very much are the shish tawouk curry and the combo kabob. Regardless, you can't go wrong if you end up at Aladdin's Palace for lunch or dinner.
He says he's been open 27 years and I've been eating here a couple times a year since 2001. I was so glad to see that he's still open and cooking three wonderful dishes when we moved back to the area. Several times I've just let him chose for me as there is no bad dishes in the menu. My wife frequently gets the sampler player to get a little bit of everything. Before I go I always have to get the baclava as it has the right amount of sweetness and a little savory to finish off the meal. I know it doesn't look like much when you are driving by, but take a chance and trust me.
Fantastic experience all around! This is truly a one of a kind establishment. More often than not, the owner himself will come say hello and help navigate you through the menu if you’re unfamiliar. You will feel like family and leave full and happy. The flavors are phenomenal, portion sizes are great and the service is excellent.
The man that met me at the counter was very friendly! He showed me the food when he brought it out and gave me an extra piece of bread. The gyro was HUGE but delicious! I have never had such tender meat in my life! Even my fiancé who doesn’t care for Mediterranean food was impressed! I got soup with it, it wasn’t for me but it wasn’t bad by any means. Highly recommend eating here!
