A restaurant is where people come to eat because they are hungry, not to be entertained by wall decorations, nobody eats the walls. I feel like the grains of rice served are counted, why Alladin? The next time i come over there, please serve enough food, charge me whatever you want but dont give me a tea spoon of rice to eat.
I recently ordered the grilled tuna salad and the tuna was so tough it was awful. I highly suggest asking if they can only cook it to medium because what I received was like a boot. I havent ordered this specific salad in a while however in the past it would just fall apart with a fork. Not today.
Cafeteria food, mostly. I was so excited to try this place, since I just recently returned from the living in the middle east. Huge menu, but was a bit disappointed when the server said they dont do large mixed grilled plates for sharing, very common in Mediterranean cuisine; ok no problem. But when they put this over cooked dry everything in front of me, I was surprised. A few bites of burnt lamb with watery sauce in a to-go ramekin...for here. No thanks, garbage.
First time in years eating here, this time for online ordering and take out on a whim. Why did we wait so long? Great value, easy ordering, excellent food (mmm, shawarma) that made the trip home well. Wife remarked, “This hummus is so good, never getting at the store again.” She’s always right!
We have always loved Aladdin’s! Last evening we ordered takeout online from the Lakewood location and after picking up and bringing our order home realized one of the items was missing. When we called the restaurant to let them know and would come pick the item up, not only did they apologize, they drove the item and complimentary desert to our house! I’m happy to see that even as Aladdin’s has grown in scale, they have maintained their quality and customer service. Will continue to happily support them!
The restaurant was not busy at all when we went everyone was given their dinner except my son who ordered a spicy kafta roll we all completed our meal he still did not receive his food I asked the server she said oh our pick up orders were crazy so thats why his food took so long by the time they brought it we were all ready to leave so he boxed it this server was training a new employee our table was full of dishes that we stacked and literally had to ask for someone to remove them .The service was horrible and the manager never once came to our table about my sons order .This was by far the worst dining experience I have had in a very long time not to mention the food was inconsistant we ordered a small dolmas then a large the first came out delicious the 2nd came out super dry and you could tell it was heated in a microwave this place is over priced the service was terrible and the food tastes awful Aladdins used to be a super place I dont know if the cooks are diffrent but it needs new staff and a decent cook.
My order was perfect and delicious but the best part was that they sent (door dash) a little dessert with a note saying that they were thankful for the business with all that’s happened over the last year. What a surprise and it made my day! That’s the first time I’ve seen a company do something like that and it really shows how much they care. Thank you!
This is hard. Hard because Aladdins used to be one of my favorite restaurants. The last few times I have gone there have been disappointing. The portions are smaller, the prices are higher and the quality of the food has gone down. Im going to learn how to make this stuff at home. Aladdins to me is just not worth the money anymore.
Im not from the area and just came and ordered a wrap without expecting too much - however, it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were all great and the beef tasted amazing. Id like to come back and try some of the other things if Im in Cleveland again! I do think the wrap was small in comparison to other Lebanese restaurants Ive been to, so maybe consider getting a side as well; but the taste was very good!
If it was just rating the food of course it would be a five. Today on January 9th I picked up my carryout order and while I was waiting I noticed a server and a manager tearing the pita bread, with gloves on, which is great, but the server stopped to cash out another customer with the gloves on, handled the cash and then went back to the task at hand all with the same gloves on. I dont understand how the manager didnt catch that. Gloves are only as good as how you use them, money is filthy. Common sense is you change your gloves when you change your tasks
Regularly at this particular Aladdins for over a decade. The food is always excellent and healthful. Prices are reasonable for good food and they definitely have a focus on different healthy diets. Their vegetarian dishes are truly vegetarian and not vegan. An oasis these days in the resurfacing of the meat obsession. Absolutely love this place!
Worth 1/5 of the star... Bought a quart of chicken chili, quarter of it was beans, scrapes of chicken and 3/4 was tasteless broth/water... I reduced it broth/water by cooking and seasoning it..got a pint worth...dont know what happened, because its something I always buy from Aladdins eatery.. I think they had enough for a pint left and just added water to stretch it since it was later at night..
Really good middle eastern food, friendly and efficient service, pleasant dining room. Wide selection of dishes with emphasis on healthy eating. Good for family meals. Reasonable prices. Great decadent desserts. Weve been going here for many years and the quality and service can always be counted on.
Burnt, disorganized, overpriced and under value. Severely underquoted the time for pickup which is a problem with area parking. They then dropped my food and I had to wait for a remake. Maybe it was an off day, buy Id never go to this location again. Its been years since I went to the middleburg heights location, but they were far better.
I went to Aladdins last night and had to update my review. Our server was Yara. And I have to say we received the best customer service we have probably ever gotten at a restaurant. She knew the menu inside and out and made wonderful recommendations. Plus it was one of the best tasting dinners I have had in a long time. Highly recommend visiting this location.
Don’t bother ordering here through DoorDash. I have a severe allergy and requested they not put the item on my wrap, and they did it anyway and my entire meal went to waste. It’s also a huge pain to get a refund so I lost my money. The woman on the phone was not apologetic at all & infact seemed annoyed that I had called. Really unprofessional & wrong.
Placed a to go order and it did not disappoint. The Vegetarian combo appetizer is my fave as it includes by hummus and babaganoush. Jasmines favorite with grilled chicken is my usual go to. Aladdins always seems like a healthier option to some of the other fast food places in the area.
The food was amazing. And the waitress was very attentive without being overly present. The atmosphere was great the only issue I had was the parking was not really idea it is in a strip so there is a lot of parallel parking or hunting for a parking lot. Overall my experience was great
Gotten very stingy on the portions, prices have risen too high!Ive always loved the food at Aladdins. I have some favorites on the menu and used to have their food several times a month. But Ive cut back, due to their increased prices and smaller portions. My biggest complaint is with the pitas. But I decided to order from them last night after not having Aladdins for several months. I ordered a regular sized appetizer that comes with pita and a dinner plate that comes with pita. What did I get for pitas? One whole pita! I a;somiss the days when they would cut them - so this is all very disappointing to me. They never charged for extra pita until recently, and now they dont even provide enough pita to go with the food ordered. I will find other restaurants that appreciate their returning customers instead of ones that nickel and dime them when they order their favorite foods. So disappointed!!
If youre concerned about trying something youve never heard of before start with their amazing salads and pitas pitzas. All of their food is great, eventually youll want to try everything on the menu.Bonus: amazing desserts. I dare you to go in there and look at their dessert case and not take something home with you!
I find Alladins menu overall pretty solid, but surprisingly caloric (seriously, check out the nutritional info online, it is mind blowing), and nothing to write home about. Overall, I would put it ahead of most chains, but it is still very much a chain restaurant.The wraps are pretty solid go-to lunch items, but Ive noticed that their chicken wraps are under-seasoned - the grilled chicken along with veggies or whatever other toppings are in it, tends to be pretty bland. So dont be afraid to ask for extra sauces on the side or extra seasoning on the wrap!The desserts here are one of the main reasons to eat at Alladins - there is no doubt that they are a big draw! They primarily consist of cakes that are in the cooler/display counter, and it is hard to go wrong! The pieces they serve are LARGE - truly American portions - so consider splitting each piece between two adults or possibly multiple kids!
I’ve never had a bad experience at any of the Aladdin’s I’ve been too. The chicken curry sandwich and pitza are both phenomenal, and you can get the mezza appetizers in single serving sizes! Dawali, loubie, hummus +hot sauce are a must have. The hot sauce ? Probably the best you’ll ever try!The menu caters to every type of diet, with more vegan and vegetarian options than any other specifically non vegan restaurant around.Love all the healthy new menu features too!

2022-04-02Baklava Cheesecake, side of Baba Gannouj,Flavor Savor SpecialAll delicious! 🤤And, their delivery dishes are the same portions as in the restaurant - not all places do that. But those that do are the ones I reorder from again. ⭐

2022-07-10Hate to do this, Aladdins is a great establishment usually. But we got takeout last night and were so excited to try the Chicken Tawook. Was honestly pretty disappointed. For 15 bucks a bowl you think you’d at least get enough for leftovers. Not sure if it was an off night or what, because they are usually really great. Any other time i’d give them 5 stars.EDIT: They made it right, and I am once again a happy customer :)

2022-05-30You can always count on Aladdin’s to deliver friendly service and delicious food! I’ve been visiting various Aladdin’s locations throughout NE Ohio for over a decade and I’ve never had an issue. I highly recommend their hummus and pita, Greek salads and shish kabob roll up. No matter what you order though, you’ll enjoy it :).

2022-04-08Love the menu and quality both for myself and guests. Aladdins has been my go to for entertaining out of towners for years. During COVID-19 times Id do a parking lot pick up and drive to Lakewood Park.

2019-01-01My first time at Aladdin’s Eatery was outstanding.First our waiter was extremely polite and timely in regards to service. He came over to check up on my friend and I every few minutes before we ordered and gave us some great suggestions. I ended up ordering the Flavor Savor and it was delicious! I think the portions are a pretty decent size and I tend to eat a lot hahah.Would definitely stop by again!
