    Baba ganouj, sfiha, and madhawi.
    Lani B.

    I hate to admit it, but I've lived less than 2 miles fro this place for 14 years and have only just tried them last week! I wanted something healthy-ish and Mediterranean sounded good. I, of course, over order because i wanted to try several things. The baba ganouj was smoky and delicious. The Sfiha did not look like the pictures on their page. It was more a pizza than puff pastry, which was slightly disappointing, but still very tasty! The mashawi was a mix of meats and was pretty good. The chicken was just slightly on the dry side, but the lamb was delicious. I'll just order the lamb next time. Staff was super friendly. I hated seeing them empty, but because of COVID there were no patrons. I hope they are busy for takeout! I'll definitely be a return customer.

    Doesn't look like much from the exterior but the hospitality and food is a 10/10. Aladdin's Restaurant is the best Lebanese food I've had in Florida since moving here over 2 1/2 years ago. The restaurant is situated in a strip center, next to a gas station. Although, not the best location, there is plenty of parking which makes this spot great. Upon walking in, the restaurant is decorated very minimal but, don't let that deter you. I've found through my travels of living in different cities and states throughout the U.S.; some of the best restaurants are the mom and pop owned establishments, like this one. I ordered a vegetarian combo, shish kafta kabob dinner, and baklava for dessert. OMG! The hummus - rich, creamy, smooth, and delicious! The grape leaves, kibbeh, beef kafta, and baba ghanoush - AMAZING! Each meal was served with a house salad that is made with homemade dressing that was out of this world! Even the baklava for dessert was such a sweet treat! Not to mention, how kind and hospitable the owner and his staff were. Overall, I give this place 5 stars because the parking was great, food was amazing, and service was very kind and cultured. I will definitely find an excuse to drive out to Casselberry again to eat here!

    This a a Lebanese restaurant and the owner was happy to come by the table and assist with our order. I believe the owner may even be the one who prepared our meals. The restaurant itself is spacious with lots of tables and a handful of booths. This restaurant has been open for almost 25 years so you know they are doing something right. They are located in the end of the plaza next to WAWA. The owner even suggested if we'd like to call ahead next time he would have our food ready for us when we arrived. The soup we ordered was very tasty, the chicken dish was very tasty with a heavy dose of couscous and the sampler platter gave us an opportunity to try a number of the appetizers. Next visit we're looking forward to trying the lamb shank.

    Shish Kabab

    Stopped in for lunch on a recent weekday. Delicious authentic food, freshly prepared. It's a small storefront shop, in a nondescript strip mall - you have to be looking for this place or you'll drive right past. The decor is little dowdy, and there was only one other patron at lunchtime. Service was polite and friendly. We each ordered from the Express Lunch menu, trying the Shawarma, the Shish Tawook and the Shish Kabob. Each is served with salad. Salads are right-sized for a lunch appetizer. Vegetables crisp and fresh, lightly dressed and served with warm pita. The Shish Tawook is grilled skewered cubes of marinated chicken, served over long grain basmati rice with grilled vegetables. The chicken was a little dry, but very tender and the garlic & herb marinate made each bite delicious. Shish Kabob is skewered cubes of marinated lamb, grilled perfectly medium. The lamb was tender and juicy and scrumptious and served with grilled green pepper, tomato and onion over a bed of basmati rice. This was excellent. Shawarma is slices of marinated chicken, in this case served over hummus. The chicken is cooked well - moist and flavorful. Hummus is creamy with a little bite from the garlic and perfect on the warm pita. The check was $35 for 3 including soft drinks, so about on par with what you'd expect for lunch. It's unfortunate that a restaurant with food this good is in such an out-of-the way spot. The food is good, the owner clearly relishes what he's doing. Hopefully it's busier for dinner time!

    Vegetarian Combo Dinner

    Great food and even better people! We ordered lamb shank dinner meal and vegetarian meal. Both were phenomenal. There is ample seating and parking. It's in a plaza next to a Italian restaurant. The place is authentic as it gets. It's been around since 1993. My friend spoke fluent Arabic with the server. Very friendly people! Overall, highly recommend!

    Pitabread, Tabule, kibbe Zaziki and falafel... love it

Delicous food Higly recommended and prices are according to quality, not cheap not expensive.very good food quality.

    I almost don't want to post this because I'd love to keep it a secret, but Athena's Roasted Chicken…read moreis a true hidden gem in Orlando! Especially if you like soup like me! The chicken is perfectly seasoned with crispy skin and super juicy inside. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. The sides are just as good and feel homemade, not like an afterthought. Portions are generous but back to the soup! Yum! The chicken lemon soup will heal your soul. It's low key, no hype, just really solid food. If you know, you know. I'll definitely be back.

Seems to have a lot of regulars dropping by for carry-out orders. Service was excellent - very nice people. Reasonable prices, but portions are fairly small. Ordered the "best chicken in town", - the chickens are very small, and the 1/4 chicken breast I had was noticeably dry. The seasonings and flavor are very good though. But I have much better from any Peruvian chicken place. Had the zucchini in tomato sauce as one side an it was outstanding. Pasta salad was average. Pita bread seemed dry. Hummus was very good. Potatoes had great flavor but also a little dry. Rice pudding dessert was very tasty. Overall I was disappointed because I had hoped this might become a go-to spot for me to hit regularly but unfortunately I cannot imagine a scenario where I'd make the effort to go back.
