Came in after a trip to the Tavern across the street. Wanted to buy a calzone. After I had already paid, was told there was not enough pizza dough to make a calzone. We agreed on a kebab, and it took over 45 minutes to prepare. Completely unprofessional! read more

This is by far my favorite place to get falafel and their combos are insanely delicious. Love Aladdins!

A decent option for a quick lunch in downtown Hartford when you don't want to spend a bundle. They are geared for pizza by the slice, but they made decent middle eastern lunches. The falafel is not bad, the shwarma are good if a little dry and kinda hyper-garlicky, and the kofta kebab platter is filling but right on the verge of being overpriced. The house made hummus is great. They kinda sell the middle eastern specialties short, but they do a good job if you order them. read more

Delicious falafel pita and lentil soup. Authentic and well priced. Ordered delivery and got here in solid time, and hot.

I love this place! I've been in Hartford twice for business. Loved it the first time and came back on my second trip. Food is plentiful, delicious and reasonably priced. The family combo was more than three of us could eat. Yum yum yum!! And the owners remembered us 5 months later and greeted us like regulars! Will come back again for sure. read more

I travel a lot for work, a the two things I always look for in a new city are a great deli and a great Halal / Mediterranean restaurant. Aladdin definitely filled my quota for great Halal food, with a few gripes. I had a Chicken Shawarma pita and a side salad. The salad wasn't anything special, as expected and advertised, consisting of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives and a "house" dressing. The salad dressing was advertised as a homemade Greek vinaigrette, however I would be willing to bet my next pay check that it was Kraft Zesty Italian dressing - a little disappointing for sure. The chicken Shawarma pita came next, and was absolutely spectacular. The chicken was moist, flavorful, and well cooked, and the wrap itself had the perfect amount of lettuce, red onion, tomato, garlic and tahini sauces. It was almost perfect, but I will admit that I was expecting it to be a little bigger; I guess I didn't read into the $4.99 price tag enough. Which leads me to my final minor complaint, which is that I wish they had a more flexible menu. It is very extensive, more extensive than most Halal restaurants I've visited, however the configurations are not that accommodating for solo or pair diner(s). For example, I asked if I could order a "side" of hummus, instead of the $4.99 appetizer portion (too much for one person staying in a hotel with no way to store leftovers) - they said they didn't offer a "side" size, that was the only way to get it. After my meal, since I was still a little hungry, I asked if I could order a single falafel, they said no, I could only buy the appetizer portion of 4. You get the point. In my experience, these are entirely reasonable requests, especially at a place like this. I would gladly pay $2.00 for a single falafel (vs. $4.99 for four), or $7.50 for a larger pita sandwich with more meat. It's a somewhat difficult place to eat for one, you're likely to either leave a little hungry or with a big container with leftovers - not an option for the road warriors living in hotels. All in all, a very respectable Halal spot with great food, just wish they'd reconsider their menu or be more flexible with their offerings. I will most certainly be a repeat customer. read more

By far the best middle eastern food in Hartford. Good food. Consistent. Cheap. Chicken kebab or chawarma always great. I was also shocked how good their pizza is. Very interesting and amusing characters if you try it late night. Late night it is one the very few places in Hartford that will still serve food past midnight. read more

aawsom food. The best middle east food ever. Chicken and lamb kabob were very delicious. Omg yummmmmmmy. Very friendly staff and the place is nice and clean. Atmosphere is relaxing. Thanks Ayman your cooking is beyond delicious. read more

The staff wasn't very attentive, they were out of two things that I wanted, and when the chicken orzo soup that I finally settled on arrived it was bland. I hear people talk about this place fairly often so I might have went on an off day. read more

Went there for lunch with my family after read some reviews. We got Baba Ganoush for myself, Pita Chicken Shwarma, Wrapped Chicken Shwarma and Alladin Delight. I was willing to try something new, so I tried Baba Ganoush, It's not very delight in my taste buds. Other than that, everything was good. We're very pleased with the size. We will come again, I'll try something new again...Very Recommended. read more

STAY AWAY!!! S.A.'s experience on 12/4 is the NORM!! Happens REPEATEDLY!! Even 1/2 mile away, TWO HOURS for delivery!! . First call 1 hour after placing the order was answered with ---"the delivery guys car broke down." A call 1.5 hrs after ordering was responded with---"he just left...will be there any second". When I tsaid it's been 1.5 hrs....am told I am expected to pay, it will be hot. 2 hours after ordering I call again and am told "he is on his way" and I am harassed and badgered to pay and not allowed to cancel the order. . THIS IS THE NORM NOW! STAY AWAY!! read more

One of the best halal options in CT! Been going here for as long as I can remember and pretty much grew up on their takeout because we just can't stop going back. They make my #1 favorite pizza and the rest of their menu is just as good. We usually get takeout but dining in is a great experience as well. read more

Three stars is just right for this place. Not super fancy spectacular and not a ripoff -- the balance between the food and the prices is just a bit out of whack in my opinion. I think you pay a little too much for what you get, but where else can you find pepperoni that's halal? Love the cucumber dipping sauce. I could drink it out of a glass. read more

A very authentic middle eastern deli. Had the lamb shish kebab with hummus and baba ganoush and I have never had better. The baba ganoush was rich and smoky with excellent olive oil. It was wonderful. The rest of my party got pizza made in a brick oven. Beautifully crispy with high quality ingredients. Open late. Don't miss this when in Hartford. read more

Absolutely fabulous food, huge portions, low prices and a friendly staff. I would go here any time.

Consistently good lamb kabobs. Good fixins. Nice people. But SLOW service. Would give five stars otherwise. Slightly dicey area but not too bad. Nice atmosphere inside though, at least for "fast" food. read more

This is authentic Middle Eastern food ... with just the right spices and generous amounts of olive oil ( we love our hummus and baba ghanouj covered with olive oil ) , food is fresh and hot and thoroughly cooked , the best place to try out this cuisine read more

I live and work in Hartford and have had Aladdin probably 20 times. Always pick-up. I've never dined in or taken delivery. Positives: - Brick oven pizzas are made with fresh ingredients and good dough. - Sometimes I order 9 falafels for $3 and that's my dinner - they are great. - The meats are fresh and on display. Cooked perfectly. - They give a time for pick up and stick to it. - Fresh ingredients. Negatives: - Pita bread tasts like grocery store stuff. They put it in the brick oven to warm it up which dries it further. Fortunately their hummos can salvage it. - To-go salad orders tend to get soggy unless you get after them immediately. - It depends who's working. Some guys are great and cheerful, others are not. Don't take it personally, let the food do the talking. Overall: a consisent, affordable, and different restaurant. read more

We ordered Chicken grill and Shawarma Combo. The taste was absolutely delicious, one of the best i've had in a while. The rice served with platter had such a unique taste and Chicken was so juicy. I would recommend everybody to give it a try. Quantity of food was perfect and it didnt take much time to serve. Loved it!! read more

Awesome food... Never had such smooth hummus, n such soft and moist falafels. The much praised baba ghanoush was definitely a hit. Limited vegetarian options, but all you have is just outstanding. To top it all, the baklava is a perfect end to the meal. read more

I working in Hartford for a couple of weeks and was introduced to his restaurant for lunch. The chicken shawarma wrap is very tasty. I ordered it again today. I found the staff friendly.Although I walked, I did notice a handful of parking spots on the street.. it's only a couple of blocks from union station or the fastrak bus line. I will be going back. read more

best middle eastern spot this side of greater hartford. try the kibbeh or shawarma platters with two sides of baba ghanoush and hummus. so good. the dips are blended well with just enough olive oil. the falafel are crispy and fresh - made from actual chickpeas not the store brand stuff. in addition - the stone oven pizzas are amazing. try a slice. although the prices are a bit high - the food is worth it. the quality is just really good. the only downside: some of the staff are beyond rude. read more

They weren't even close to the right thing I ordered and ended up putting something I was allergic to in my food, so I had to throw it away. Fantastic read more

It's a very delicious foid, made from the scratch , fresh, affordable and very tasty read more

Aladdin Halal - Halal Near Me - Hartford, Connecticut

Ordered from this place a bunch of times and loved the food. Finally stopped in and the experience was a little different. After seeing one of the cooks (the guy making my pizza) pick his nose and wipe it on his apron I nicely asked if I can just get my money back. They gave me a hard time about it and did not give it back. I said they can keep the pizza and the money and just walked away. Never will I order from here again. read more

Took a hour and a half for the delivery to come. Ordered Meat Lovers pizza... pizza's good, but not recommended for an office lunch since we had about 5 minutes to eat. read more

my go-to place for late-night delivery; they do mess up orders for me with some regularity when it comes to small details. but usually not huge deals and it still tastes awesome. love their fries, shawarma/shawarfin sandwiches. the halal pepperoni pizza is not my favorite; i'd stick with their middle eastern stuff. i LOVE the baba ganoush and hummus here. the lamb kofta is also great. the fattoush is awesome as well. read more

Wrong ... Stale ... And gross! Girlfriend picked up dinner on her way home. Ordered a gyro sandwich got grey chicken (wrong) ... Ordered falafel app (stale) made 2 days ago at least. Baklava was dry as a bone and stale ... Salad was gross smothered in horrible dressing ... Avoid this place they gave up on caring about food ... read more

Again and Again.......GREAT Food, Great Place. Only negative is the wait for food to be served.....even though it's absolutely worth the wait. The "negative" is more of me being anxious and impatient for food that I absolutely LOVE. read more

Love the customized salami, meatballs with veggies pizza! The pizza sauce is amazing! I ordered a large pizza which was quite expensive! They don't deliver everywhere! read more

Samatha was an incredible server. So considerate and accommodating especially at the hour we were there!

The food was good. I had rice and kebab. The chicken orzo soup is very good, if a bit too salty. Ambiance and cleanliness could be slightly better. read more

delicious! we ordered the hummus, a shawarma pita and falafel pita and they were all incredible- we even ordered more hummus to go! can't wait to come back and try more things. read more

The food here is delicious! We had a chicken shwarma, sauteed liver sandwich and spaghetti with sauce. I don't understand, this isn't an Italian restaurant and the spaghetti sauce is fantastic?! Everything is seasoned perfectly. The guy working the counter was also nice and friendly. read more

Sub standard falafel. 3 pieces that too half baked. The rice seemed stale too. My advice - stay away from this place

Great pizza, big slices and very fast service. $5 for 2 slices. Staff is friendly. They have middle eastern options that are great too, the deli case is always fresh and full of new items. read more

Amazing! If you like really hot hot sauce ask the man serving you,l. Also this place is mad cheap bruh. Promise well worth it. Perfect end to a drunk'n night. read more

Went here when looking for something quick and inexpensive near the Hilton. Food is terrific. Get the tabouli. Highly recommended if you are downtown. read more

Very slow service. Do not go there for lunch unless you have 1 1/2 hours to wait. Service with a poor attitude. They really don't care about you. New location has not helped service. Still poor. read more

Great food! I went with my family so we ordered a bit of everything. I tried the pizza which was amazing, and I ordered a chicken shawarma in a wrap which was pretty good. Nice crispy French fries and fast service. If I come back to the area I would definitely go back to this place. Thank you guy! read more
