    We actually ate at Aladdin's twice while recently in Cleveland area. Once near Case Western University, and once in downtown Hudson. BOTH were extraordinary. The food is tremendous. We had soup, salads, Pitas and other choices (sorry I can't remember the names) and everything was well done. Would go there again without hesitation.

    They need an "American Middle Eastern," category, as I've traveled to Sharjah, RAK, Dubai, Abu Dahbi, Jeddah, Male extensively and have never had food served like this that just murders your taste buds with garlic and over saturates with spice.

    Holy Garlic Batman, Aladdin's goes above and beyond.  Seriously, you'll be burping up the garlic taste two days later if you go to this location.

    I've had successful visits to other Aladdin's locations, but this one just didn't have it the day I visited.

    Maybe next time.

    While returning from a family vacation in the Midwest, we stopped in Streetsboro, OH for the night. I used Yelp to look for nearby restaurants and found Aladdin's. Since, my family likes Middle Eastern food and I did not want to spend a lot, this seemed like a good choice.

    Yelp reviews were right on with Aladdin's. My family enjoyed a delightful dinner there.

    SERVICE:
    Waitress was cute, smart and attentive. She was very knowledgable of their extensive menu and provided good recommendations that we ordered including the Chicken Sambusek and Mediterranean Lamb. Service was prompt.

    SETTING:
    We opted to eat on their outdoor patio and enjoyed the experience. It was a warm summer night and there was a good crowd and ambience. The setting was clean and simple.

    FOOD:
    We ordered 3 dishes and shared this among 2 adults and 2 children. All plates were cleared when we were done. We enjoyed the lamb, kibbie, hummus, and chicken. Food was fresh and flavourful.

    I have come to learn that Aladdin's is a middle eastern chain restaurant around the Midwest. It's good to see chain resaurant like Aladdin's that serves good tasting, healthy food, at a reasonable price.

    Delicious! Tons of awesome healthy options. Excellent antidote to the crappy fast food choices when driving down I-80. And VERY affordable!

    Not my first choice in Mediterranean eateries but still good.
    Most of the dishes are a little under-flavored compared to other places.  The felafel is good but they grind it too fine and use a bit too much cumin.  The result is a soft felafel with no crunch to the outside and a very soft center without texture.

    Smoothies are excellent.  Vegetarian appetizer sampler is recommended.

    Hands down, my favorite place to eat when I have the chance.  You can't go wrong with anything off of the menu!  

    I usually get hummos and a rolled, usually falafel hummos.  I do ask them to exclude the turnip and pickle (yuck).  The mujadara and chicken salad are delicious.  I have also had their side salad which is pretty impressive!  You can't go wrong with the Aladdins Kabob rolled.  

    You can't help but notice their deserts when you walk in!  Save room if you can  indulge in one of their delicious cheese cakes.

    The only weird thing about this place is that you have to walk through the kitchen to use the rear entrance or rest room.

    The best of the Aladdin's I've been to. The interior decor is pristine & feels classy; the service is friendly & helpful. I almost always get the same thing: the Aladdin's chicken pitza, which isn't even Middle Eastern! But? It's delicious, especially the honey Dijon sauce base.

    Their hummus - with their special hot sauce on the side - is an appetizer must. They've also got great vegetarian chili & really soothing tea.

    Go to Aladdin's. Be happy.

    I've traveled all over the Middle East and have acquired an affinity for the food of the region and I was pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant on a recent business trip to Ohio. The food here is authentic, delicious and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent healthy meal.

    This place is great!  I've been to a few locations, and the food is always predictably delicious.  My significant other complains that everything could use just a little more seasoning, but I'm always happy with it.

    I love love love the falafel.  I love it in wraps, on pizzas, and in salads.  The appetizers are great too!  Foole M Damas is AMAZING (Puree of fava beans, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and lemon topped with diced tomatoes and parsley. Pita on the side) You must try it.  

    The iced tea is amazing as well and they have a nice little beer menu if you prefer some alcohol.

    The atmosphere is relaxed and casual and the servers are always very attentive.

    Very healthy, delicious food!  I always feel like I've made a smart choice when we come here.  I love the hummus appetizer with hot sauce on the side.  My kids love it too (minus the hot sauce).  I also get the hummus tabouli rolled, amongst other yummy items.  

    The hostesses are always very friendly, and one of the previous hostesses would greet me by name.  ( I used to go at least once a week during my last pregnancy - LOL.)

    The only thing that prevents me from rating this place a 5 is the cost.  The green bean dish is ridiculously overpriced at almost $10 a serving (really?  for just vegetables?).  As frequently as I go, I wish that they had some sort of frequent customer card, like some places do.

    The menu here is very extensive, and a little overwhelming at first.  There are too many delicious things I want to try!  I had the wrapped pita with grilled tuna and the yogurt sauce.  It was really good and full of fresh ingredients.  I really like the pickles they put inside.  The second time I went, I had the baba falafel wrap. I enjoyed it even more than the tuna one.  The prices here are good for the food you get.  The house hot mint tea is really nice on a cold day.  They also have a large selection of desserts.  I can't wait to go back and try some new things next time I'm in the area!

    I was on a business trip in Cleveland area last week and my team suggested we have lunch here. Initially, I was a bit hesitant because I have been spoiled by the fantastic Middle Eastern restaurants and cafes in the Bay Area but figured..what the hell.... Let's just say I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the lentil and potato soup (yummmmmmy) and a falafel pocket which was tasty and HUGE. The other people at my table were very happy with their meals as well.

    The restaurant was nice and clean and the service was pretty good. I was a bit annoyed because my water was not refilled but aside from that, everything else was very good.

    one of my favorite restaurants - I love their lentil soup with cheddar cheese and their fallafal rolled.  Hummos and Brewed Mint tea are MUST- Haves!  If I lived close by, I would dine here at least once a week.

    Where can you get a meal that is great tasting, healthy, quick, and affordable? Aladdin's. We usually order to-go and it's a great way to stay healthy on those nights that you just don't feel like cooking at home.

    This place has some really great food!  I was introduced to Aladdin by a Lebanese friend...so I knew he knew this place was good. I was very impressed. They have some really great veggie dishes and superb wine (note: check out the Chateau Ksara red for good value). Oh, and don't miss the baklava!

    Stopped in for lunch on our way across Ohio. Really nice ambience. The mint tea hit the spot. We had a bowl of the lentil soup and the "flavor saver" special. The soup was good, but not hot enough. The special included rice, chicken shwarma, beef kafta, hummus, a small falafel patty, and a bit of salad. The meats were both really good, and the hummus was especially nice. The desserts looked excellent but we didn't try. Extremely reasonably priced.

    Great place!  The hummos is unique - lighter than average and very yummy. The rice with vermicelli, pine nuts and a hint of cinnamon was great. If you get a salad, definitely go for their house dressing - the mint in it is very subtle and makes for a dressing you won't get anywhere else.

    Aladdin's is a great place to get a healthy, easy, and delicious meal. We often get it as takeout on nights when making dinner isn't an option. One of my favorites is the tuna steak rolled. I love it. I also love the baba and hummus for appetizers. You pretty much can't go wrong with Aladdins though. If you are a vegetarian, this place is perfect. There are 29 vegetarian options. Overall, Aladdin's is a great place to grab some healthy food. However, I recommend takeout, as the atmosphere inside is nonexistent.

    This restaurant is amazing!  So good for you, and so full of flavor, and the portions are huge.  So many vegitarian selections if you don't eat meat.  The hummus and falafal are wonderful.  One day I'm going to try the deserts, because they look amazing!

    We were surprised at the good variety of options here, both meaty and vegetarian, healthy and less-so.  I had the len-chili soup, it was delicious with the feta sprinkled on top.  Their side salad was good too.  Most portions were quite generous - definitely enough to share.  The hummus was good, although a bit heavy on the tahini for my taste.  The fancy cakes in the case seemed a bit odd given the middle eastern theme of the food, but they looked lovely - I'll have to try them another time.  Best of all, the prices were pretty reasonable.  I'd definitely go back.

    YUM! There are several of these in the Cleveland area and some in Chicago now as well!  The food is awesome, my favorites being the Fattoush, Hummus and any of the many Pitas that they have!  The smoothies are also fabulous and are made from real fruit and honey! I love this place! It's super resonably priced too. You can eat for under $10 and be full!
