    This may be my favorite place to eat. They have the best hummus ever. Paired with the fresh, warm pita, it can't be beat!

    Even though I live closest to the Lakewood location I prefer the Crocker Park location becausa it is right across from Sephora!

    I've traveled through Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon, and while I''m not holding anything at Aladdin's to that standard, the menu's just too overpriced and mainstreamed.  You'd be hard-pressed to find anything offensive on the menu, but just as unlikely to be blown away.  Moreover, when I recently ordered the $14 lamb plate at Crocker Park, I got 3 solid chunks of lamb and 4 thin slices of mystery meat  (did not taste like mutton).  

    I'd actually recommend Kan-Zaman over Aladdin's, and there you can also get a fun, tawdry dose of Middle Eastern pop music.

    A pleasant surprise and I found out after the fact that there are multiple locations.

    The hummus was excellent, although the pita that came with it was uninspired. Tried the beef kofta which was well seasoned and would have been good but it was too salty which was unfortunate. My friend tried a couple of wraps, I think a chicken curry wrap of some sort and another type of chicken wrap. (sorry can't remember) both of which were good.

    Aladdin's Eatery serves amazing food that easily rivals any other Middle Eastern restaurant. That being said, I would prefer slightly larger portions. Also, their desser menu is great as are their assortment of drinks. Their juices are fresh-squeezed. I tried the apple juice and it was very very good. The waiters and waitresses are very nice as well.  A good restaurant.

    Wow!  

    Pros:
    -Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.  In West Lake OH, this is a big deal!
    -Great service
    -Very affordable (Falafel/Hummous roll for $6 - not take-out prices, but good for a sit down restaurant).
    -Nice patio

    Cons:
    -The Mujadera plate, described on the menu as a specialty, was good, but salty.

    I love Aladdin's!  I go here at least a couple of times a month for lunch.  It is a perfect lunch spot, but for dinner I would choose to go elsewhere or do takeout.  The food is always very good.  My favorite is the Flavor Savor Special.  Their salads are also very good.

    This place is delicious for Middle Eastern food.  I go in there at least 1x/week or 1x/ every other week (they know me by name now) haha.  

    It's calming and relaxing atmosphere with plenty of good food.  They have fun outdoor seating during the summer.

    I always get the shishkabob salad with aladdin's dressing- so Good!!...I also get their kibbie too. Their flavor savor plate is delicious too!! In addition to getting the shishkabob salad; I get the aladdin's side of plain rice.  It's the best rice I have ever tasted.  The tarazaki chicken salad is soo good too with grapes, pears, chicken, etc with honey mustard dressing.  The best part of the experience is their dessert case (one of the best Tiramisu!!) In fact, everything I have eaten is delicious. It's a wonderful meshing of delicious exotic flavors and yummy goodness :)

    When I think of affordable, flavorful ethnic food options in Cleveland (whether on the west side or east side), I think of Aladdin's. I love all the delicious, interesting wraps available within the $5-7 price range. Shwarma rolls are always a great bet and I also love the salads here. Hummus is a must! For dessert, don't hesitate to get the Baklava.

    Stop by any of the Aladdin's Eateries if you are in Cleveland!

    Really delicious food!  It's very fresh, tasty, and affordable.  Three of the four of us at our table got the flavor savor plate.  It's a great way to sample the grilled chicken and beef, and the falafel.  The garlic sauce is a little different than what I'm use to in LA, but it was still delicious.

    Good food. Great atmosphere. My fiancé and I frequent this place and never have gone wrong.

    They do buckle and dime you on drinks and sauces though.... It's always kind of annoying.

    I had the tuna and falafel wrap.  Both are amazing.  If you're into seafood try the tuna.  It's char-grilled tuna steak wrapped in their pita with some kick butt sauce.  I'd skip their cakes but the food is great.

    Aladdin's is honestly one of my favorite restaurants. Even though it is in Crocker Park, it is never so busy that it turns me away. The prices are pretty cheap and the portions are great! I can get an entire meal (appetizer, entree, dessert) for under $20. And it is always delicious! Everything is fresh and the flavors are full. Even my dad who usually hates Mediterranean food, loved the food here! The salad is great, the pita rolls are soooo good, and the dessert, wow. Just love, love, love everything I've ever eaten here.

    Six of us, including two children, had lunch here on a Saturday and, I must say, we all loved this place. Ambiance & service were quite good, if a bit breezy and sterile, but the food was fantastic. We shared the baba, a nice smoky eggplant dish. I had the shishkebab rolled pita and a side salad with Aladdin's dressing - both excellent. I certainly recommend this place.

    I've heard good things about the place from damn near everyone.  In this case, the rumors proved to be true.  This place rocks.  The closest thing you will find to Zankou in Ohio.  While it's not even on the same level as Zankou, it's still pretty awesome.  This place also further proves my theory that every culture has their Heineken/Becks rip off.  Almaza for the Lebanese, Presidente for the Dominicans, etc.  Their hummus was tasty.  Their Aladdin's house salad dressing was phenomenal.  This is one of the greatest restaurants I've found around here that's for sure.

    Located right in Crocker Park.  They have great food, inexpensive prices, and indoor and ourdoor seating.  I would definitely go again!

    This place rocks!  I have never had a bad meal.  Affordable, fresh tasty food.  Good service and always great.  Hummus is a must, don't forget the hot sauce.  It's worth extra $.50.  The chicken curry rolled is my fav.  I get it every time and make my wife get something else to try. Enjoy.

    We have been eating at Aladdin's for many years.  The first time was in Mayfield, on the east side.  We later moved to Lakewood and we were able to enjoy the awesome food again!  Most recently we were so happy when they opened in Amherst (our current location) but the restaurant didn't take off here.  I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it was the location and the fact that people were reluctant to try something new.  The only good news is that they opened a new restaurant in Oberlin, which is not that far away.  I'm actually almost addicted to the food.  There are so many things we love it would take too long to name them.  The hummus with the Hot Sauce is killer!  Also, love love love the Shishkabob Salad with the Sweet Tangy Tomato dressing.  I would strongly urge you to give it a try.
