    11B) Chicken Shawarma
    Poojitha a.

    This is one of my favorite late-night spots in the U District. It's often crowded, but that's usually a good sign. I always go for the chicken shawarma, and it's honestly one of the best I've had in Seattle. The portion is generous, the chicken tastes really good, and I like that they don't overload it with sauces. The spice level is comfortable for most people, not too spicy. Personally, but for my taste, I wish it were a bit spicier to make it even more perfect. Still, I enjoy every bite. I haven't tried their other menu items yet, but they also have a separate burger place right next door that offers burger combos. If you're going for the first time, I'd definitely recommend starting with the shawarma, you're very likely to enjoy it. Even when it's busy, the service is not too slow, which I really appreciate for a late night spot.

    One of my all time favorite spots in Seattle! I love coming here, whether for a meal or a late night snack. The staff are always so friendly and it is always lively here, especially towards the later hours of the day. Grab and go style, but they have a bunch of seating inside. My favorite thing to order here is by far the Aladdin fries- french fries with choice of beef/lamb or chicken, feta cheese, and garlic sauce. The garlic sauce here is so delicious, and all the different parts of the dish go so well together. The serving portions are also so large! Amazing quality and value of food. There is also a related, more fast food type store connected, I also like their loaded fries with chicken a lot :)

    After a late night out it's the spot to grab some food. They messed up my order sadly but still got to enjoy whatever they gave us.

    That was delicious! A hole in the wall. We went to visit the cherry blossoms and passed by this restaurant. It had a nice Covered area outside with picnic tables where we were able to sit with our pup! We got the chicken shawarma and beef/lamb shawarma, and Greek fries! They were all delicious. When you bite into the shawarma, it's crunchy! Perfect amount of sauce too. Very tasty! According to my UW student, this is a go to place for her and her friends.

    My son has been talking about Aladdin since he's been in high school. He always goes here for the Shawarma his favorite! So I haven't had the chance to try it so I wanted to try the Gyro. It's been hard to find a decent Gyro place to go to. The lamb was seasoned to perfection and the NAAN I really love the taste and texture it was the best I have had in a long time. I going back soon for sure! pictured below

    I love the gyros, shawarmas and fries here. They are open late and everything I've ordered always tastes amazing. The portions are fulfilling.

    My boyfriend has been coming here for years and will go out of his way for their gyros. This was my first time! Everything was perfect. Fries were hot and a huge portion. The cashier was super sweet and welcoming. I loved that he was playing some old school country and then switched it up to more middle eastern music. Great vibes.

    Inside the 11B Chicken Shawarma (5/26/24)
    Marie B.

    Late to the Aladdin Gyro-Cery party, but after it being recently vetted by The Homie and his good friend, I figured it was time to check it out. Plus this business and adjacent burger joint is open daily from 10am to 2am the next day along University Way (The Ave) in Seattle's University District. It has seating indoors, as well as, covered outdoor sidewalk seating too. Drove there with The Homie on 5/26/24. I asked are you sure you want to eat here since he had just dined here twice recently. I got an emphatic yes. So we ventured out close to 10pm and got nearby street parking. Must of found that sweet spot, because after ordering and finding a table, a very long line had formed at the ordering counter. The line was out the door by the time we were leaving. Good thing about such places is that food turns over fast and frequently. I chose 9A Lamb & Beef Gyro - loaded pita with fresh shredded lettuce, bit of onion, tender slices of meat, and tzaziki sauce. Add most with a fork then polished it off with the pita. Wanted to eat and not wear my gyro. The Homie chose 11B Chicken Shawarma - again another loaded wrap with generous amount of grilled succulent chicken. He had this twice before and can attest that it has been consistent whether eaten at lunch time or late night. He also ordered Aladdin's Fries. I kid you not, it is a large takeout box full of fries which he customized with with beef & lamb gyro meat and garlic sauce. Previously he had also added feta cheese. Definitely shareable. Pro tip: If you pay in cash, you get free Kirkland/Costco bottles of water. They take debit/credit cards at the ordering counter. Grab additional napkins too. Ginormous, straightforward food from a fairly sizeable menu. Reasonably priced and late hours. Perfect for college students or folks wanting a decent late night, no frills meal.

    Located along the Ave next to UW, Just dropped in for a little lamb schwarma before attending a 3 hour event. Took about 10 minutes for the order to come out. Outdoor tables weren't very clean but food was really tasty, Gyros and schwarma cost around $10. Great university food. Just needs a little cleaning up.

    Solid smash burgers! This place operates out of a ghost kitchen in Roosevelt, which I have no issue…read morewith, but don't expect any seating or personal interaction. I got the classic smash with an extra patty. There's an obvious focus on quality ingredients, and overall the burger was enjoyable. The meat itself could be seasoned a bit more, so I'd recommend going with one of their more adventurous options to add some flavor. My biggest gripe has to do with the fries. $5+ is steep for the portion they're offering. Overall: 3.75/5

We ordered a couple of truffle mushroom smash burgers and a spicy lover's smash burger, and every single one was fantastic. They delivered exactly what you want from a smash burger: juicy patties with perfectly crispy, caramelized edges, all tucked into soft, toasty brioche buns. The buns were a standout - they held everything together beautifully and soaked up the juices without getting soggy. The fries were crisp and satisfying, rounding out the meal nicely. This is definitely a spot we'll be adding to our regular rotation.

Not because it's just "better than the other dishes" but it was truly amazing, it just had a great taste to it! Soup was yummy too and came with clear noodles Proportions are to the smaller size making prices a bit high but banchans were refilled quickly.

    As you can see from my two older reviews for this place, I have always been a Xi'an noodles…read moreloyalist and still am. Since my last review the restaurant has closed and reopened, and expanded their menu, to now include more dumplings and varieties of noodles. They also now have a very handy duo of ordering kiosks, which you order at prior to sitting down. I found their kiosks easy to use, which isn't always a given. This being my first visit back in a while, I had to get the spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles. However I had to try some dumplings, so we shared the lamb dumplings, while my dinner buddy had the spicy cumin lamb rice noodle soup (the same kind of noodles you'd get at a ten second yunnan noodle type of place). They also now have a complimentary side dish bar that has seaweed salad, peanuts, and kimci, as well as some condiment type things like scallions and minced garlic. I helped myself to some seaweed salad to nibble on while waiting for our food, and it was good although food comes out quickly enough that you don't necessarily have to rely on it unless you're really chomping at the bit. The spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles are just as good as I remember. The biang biang noodles here are perfectly chewy, and the rest of the dish has a lovely flavor aside from just spice. They're generous with lamb and cabbage which add a lot of textural variety to the plate. The lamb dumplings were the sleeper hit of the meal, filled with juicy, tender hunks of lamb surrounded by toothsome clearly hand-rolled wrappers. Absolutely do not skip the lamb dumplings. My dinner buddy really enjoyed her rice noodle soup with spicy cumin lamb, which I think would be a great option on a cold day. Everything is pretty much self serve here, so don't expect full service -- although they did stop by to refill our water once. The food here is so good, though, and prices are so reasonable, that I truly do not care that the experience is pretty bare bones otherwise.

I had ordered the regular spice, but for me, I would've chosen the spicer one as I like spice but wanted to be safe. There was lots of really good flavors. The overall space and bathroom was very clean and a great spot for lunch!
