The best! The prepared foods are amazing. I frequently eat an entire pound of the tabbouleh to myself for lunch. The way its chopped and mixed is what I think sets it apart. Each ingredient is cut to a specific size, instead of just being pulverized in a food processor. Every bite is like a competition going on between all the flavors. The mid-eastern potatoes are also great, especially if you like garlic. Lots of grocery items here, and a lot of convenience store type things as well. Always open it seems like. Keep it up Aladdin's!

Amazing prepared food section and the best middle eastern grocer in the area (halal meat included). I must say, the vegetable samosa gets me every time, it is so wonderful, especially to take home, reheat at 350F for 7min and broil to crispness. The hummus and baklava are also really fantastic.
To top it off, they get fresh Yasmeen Bakery pita delivered daily - which is by far the best pita in the area.
The owner is incredibly nice and the shopping experience wonderful. Highly recommended if looking for a middle eastern shopping delight. -

Probably the best place to shop if you're looking strictly for Middle Eastern goods.
I replenish my supply of Turkish coffee here. They also have a great deli counter with meat and spinach pies, samosas, soft cheeses, deserts, and salads (e.g. tabouli and baba ganoush)
Aladdin's Market is near the corner of Packard and Platt, which I guess is the epicenter of ethnic grocery shopping in Ann Arbor. There are other shops nearby that have produce and halal meat. If you are cooking Middle-Eastern-style, you should be able to get everything in one trip. -

Aladdin's is a good mid-size grocery with clean, organized shelves full of quality products that are very fairly priced.
You know that fig spread at Whole Foods that sells for like $5/jar and tastes heavenly paired with blue cheese or stirred into yogurt? Aladdin's has about half a dozen different brands on the shelf and most of them cost half as much.
There's also a great selection of teas, candies, ghee, halva, canned goods, etc. There's also a few ibriks on the shelf for Turkish coffee lovers.
The staff is always friendly and has answers ready for your questions. -

Have you always wanted to find a place that offered more than 2 kinds of lame supermarket pita bread? This is the place! They have at least half a dozen varieties, from small rounds to big whole wheat ones.
I love Aladdin's market. In addition to the pita breads, they also sell spices in bulk at great prices, along with other supplies for making Middle Eastern fare.
The best part for me, though, is the deli food. It's good and inexpensive. I love their spinach pies, the hummus and baba ganoush, and the choice of half a dozen different kinds of feta cheese. They also offer baklava and other sweets, including a rich, moist chocolate cake that is to die for. -

wonderful place for arab groceries. They have a great deli counter with baked goods and cheeses. Wonderful olives, and a great dry selection. Fresh bread too! Between them and the produce market next door, I never really need to shop else where when I'm in the Ypsi/ Ann Arbor area.

It's a shame that this place only has 4 (now 5) reviews, because it is seriously the best and best kept secret of the area. Items here aren't dirt cheap, but they aren't expensive or over-priced and they are for the most part high-quality imports that are better and cheaper than their Whole Foods counterparts.
If you're cooking middle eastern or mediterranian, there is nothing this place doesn't have for you, and if you want some european food there is a decent selection of goods as well. After five or so visits, I'm still not sure if the people there speak english or not, but I don't care, because this place is amazing. I'll gladly hand my money over and take my change with a head nod and a 'thank you.' -

All different types of pita for $1.60?! Why yes, please! They have everything you need for a Middle Eastern meal, including a butcher section and a deli section with different kinds of feta cheese, hummus, and other ready made yummies.
