Mind blowing food, outstanding service, impeccable restaurant with its own little bakery!!!!! Yes, I have to say I'm extremely impressed!!!! Just upset that I didn't try this place sooner. Our server, Ari was so knowledgeable and helped us with our menu questions and dessert choices as well. Such a delightful young lady. The manager, Shawn stopped to buy our table to make sure everything was to our liking. The FOOD, WOW....I woke up today thinking about it?!?! Sooooo, looking forward to my next visit. Not exactly sure how they make their rice, but it was literally so good. I could've made it my dinner. Meats are grilled so you get that distinct smoky taste which pairs well with the rice. Also, I indulged in their carrot cake, which was so moist and out of this world. Aladdin's is a MUST try!!! read more

Have just discovered this place and cannot get enough of it. The staff have been very friendly each time and the food is amazing. Can't say I have a favorite dish there yet because everything has been so good. Just writing about it is making me crave it again. read more

The bottom line: great food, and great staff. Consistent, always. Today is Valentine's Day 2024 and Aladdin's had a sweet special this day so we chose to come in. For $15 a person could receive an appetizer, dinner and dessert. For the appetizer the choices were: baba ghanoush or hummus. We chose one of each. The sizes were huge. They came out with a big basket of fresh pita. The baba ghanoush was flavorful but next time I will order it without oil as it was a little heavy on the oil. The hummus... OMG, this hummus is perfect. So perfect. Yum. The dinner: we could choose from: chicken, Shawarma rolled pita, Taza, chicken salad, mujadra plate, fattoush, Jasmine's favorite with beef Shawarma, or Jenie's combo plate. We chose the salad and the combo plate. The salad was huge. Enormous. My husband would get it again but would change the dressing. He wasnt a fan of the homey dijon. He thinks vinaigrette, or ranch is a better pairing. Genies Combo plate was perfectly sized portions of cauliflower, hummus, some type of mediterranean salad that was very vinegary and seasoned chicken/rice. Very good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The desserts: we were allowed to pick anything from the case. Im going to be honest. I am a cake snob. Then presentation in case is excellent. The cakes we chose, many customers would love. Me... they are just average. Here is why. The chocolate cake was okay. I Didnt hate it. It was moist, chocolatey enough but that was because the fudge frosting carried it. It really tasted like a box mix. The cake itself needed more flavor. Frosting was good. But it didnt wow me enough to get it get it again. There are better chocolate cakes nearby. Then cassata cake: ooooh, hate to tell them but its not a cassata. For a cake to be cassata it needs to have ricotta custard in the layers. Its then defining element. This did not. However it was an excellent vanilla sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream icing. Take away the misleading name and it was really good. I would order that again. All said for 30 bucks we had amazing service and an even better meal. Thank you Aladdins! read more

The only thing good was the hummus. We ordered a lamb roll and a shawarma beef roll. Very little meat and very dry. We asked for some sauce and were told they didn't have any. Will not return. read more

Great food! Service was excellent. We enjoyed the relaxing ambiance.i love the desserts, too!

I love this location. The Chicken Salad Roll is my go to, but I tried the lentil stew and LOVED IT! The humuus is great too.

Had a pretty good experience last night at Aladdin's in New Albany. Only downfall, they were busy and probably not expecting the crowd. It did take longer than normal to get your food but I was in no rush. I highly recommend the hummus and hot sauce. The hummus is a creamy blend of chickpeas puréed with tahini and lemon juice drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. For main main course I got, Farrouk's Falafel Pitza which is tahini lemon dressing topped with falafel, banana peppers, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley. The other photo is my moms meal, Genie's Combo Plate. Chicken mishwi on a bed of seasoned brown rice with vermicelli; served with lebanese salata, hummus, lightly fried cauliflower florets drizzled with tahini lemon dressing, and turnips. The cauliflower was sooo good and I'm not a big vegetable person. This restaurant is a must try Mediterranean restaurant in Columbus with multiple locations so why wouldn't you try it? read more

Love. We've had dinner here twice in a week and it's fabulous. The space is new and clean with great decor. There are wonderful cakes in the case by the register. The service is good. Genie's combo plate is my favorite thing - chicken, hummus, rice, salad, and (amazing) fried cauliflower florets. The hummus & pita is so fresh, and I added the garlic sauce on the side for the bread. They offer beer & wine. The servers are a bit awkard, which I don't mind, since it's newly opened. I was puzzled by one person returning to the table asking if I wanted change. I gave a hundred dollar bill on a bill for less than $40. Um, yes please? So happy we live so close and will enjoy it more in the future. read more

Service was great. Nice restaurant. We like the bulgar wheat and ground beef appetizer. Both of our wraps we very dry. Mine was grilled chicken and my friend's was lamb. read more

Many vegetarian options! We had the hummus (so good) and two rolled pitas. The cauliflower rolled pita was amazing! My husband really liked the hummus falafel. We also had dessert. I had a mini chocolate cheesecake. Perfect size! Parking is easy because it is a large share lot. Prices were very reasonable and the staff was friendly. Will definitely go back! read more

I came here with my Mommy while visiting my brother. Located in a newly-built strip mall, Aladdin's is a real treat!! Fantastic food and excellent service, look no further than this place if you want good Mediterranean food. My recommendation: Try the Chicken Hummus Platter and get it with the spicy sauce on the side - it was INCREDIBLE!! read more

The food here was delicious. I ordered several different dishes for carryout, with sauces, and everything was perfectly packed in leakproof, spillproof containers. The order was ready on time, and the people working there were very nice. The meats were all amazing, shawarma (beef), kofta, chicken mishwi, were all well-seasoned and not dry at all. The falafel was very good, and completely gluten free, meaning there were no fillers like some places use. Hummus, mujadara, and salads were also good. I appreciated that everything was so flavorful but not overly salted. They have a hot sauce that was not very hot, a little vinegary, and excellent with the food. read more

Delicious and service was excellent as well. It's fast casual place with full service. Big portion

Had the Greek salad. Not very good. The usual wilted lettuce in spots, banana peppers tasted weird like chemically or over pickled. Dressing was not very good either. The amount of chicken included was unfair. Not in a hurry to go back. Service was ok: typical younger person on the phone, distracted and not the most attentive. They did get my order correct, so theres that. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this food! I have lived in Columbus for my entire life and have never tried Aladdin's, but after visiting a friend in Cincinnati she told me how this is one of her favorite lunches to order. I copied her order exactly and did an online order for the chicken salad salad and a side of hummus with pita. The chicken salad was full of flavor, and I enjoyed the hot sauce and mustard dressing with it. I loved the hummus and used the pita to make a little wrap with some of the chicken salad and hummus. I am excited to go back and check out some other options on the menu. What I got wasn't necessarily the healthiest but it seemed like they have a lot of good healthy options which I appreciated. I ordered online and my order was ready by the time said for pick up. read more

I have to admit this is my first time. I had no idea. There were 30 of these restaurants in the Midwest. I'm guessing this is the cleanest restaurant I've ever visited. The staff is incredibly friendly. I think they may genuinely enjoy working here. Lebanese food is amazing. I will try the catering next. read more

Newer and cozier than the Cincinnati branch. Not a busy Saturday, friendly and fast service. We were served pita bread while waiting for our orders. Had the shawarma salad and Lamb salad with choices of 2-3 dressings on the side. I loved the Mediterranean dressing way better than the Aladdin dressing. I had the Pomegranate green tea, it was good and refreshing. Tried slices of cake must've been lemoncello (?) and German chocolate, they were ok. The Tiramisu was delicious though. read more

This is a great location! Really pretty and lots of parking. The staff were super helpful and attentive and the food was delicious!!

Plenty of parking. Seems newly opened. The staff were friendly.I placed a carry out order and was offered a complimentary drink. I opted for tea which was good. The cauliflower was tasty and delicious. The veggie wrap was good, just a little soggy from the filling. Overall, Aladdin's is still a solid choice. read more

Please open an Alladin's in northern NJ! Usually get the Loubie Plate and/or V-nine soup. Wanted to try something new this time. Ordered the humus appetizer; way too big a portion for me, so even though I loved it, I couldn't finish it. I find most of the portion sizes at Alladin's to be large; sometimes too large for me. Enjoyed the V-nine soup. It's always excellent. Same excellent service and ambiance I expect from Alladin's. read more

I ordered a business catering lunch for a meeting to be delivered and I have to say that of all the catering I've previously done Aladdin's went above and beyond. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate several dietary restrictions. The customer service level was top notch. We had leftovers and put the rest out for other people in the office to enjoy and I could see everyone commenting on how good the food was. My favorite part was the spicy cauliflower but really everything was delicious. Amanda the General Manager and Samir Nader Dir. of Guest Relations were a pleasure to work with and made me feel so appreciated they even included a thank you note. I just wished they had included menus to leave behind for the office staff to use them again but I'm sure they will do so. I know I certainly will. read more

Great casual lunch and dinner. Huge menu with lots of options for various diet restrictions from vegan to gluten-free. Portions are huge. Staff was extremely kind and helpful. We will definitely be back. Kids menu is kind of unique and they do not have ketchup if your little likes ketchup with chicken. I ordered my daughter the chicken and cheese pizza and it was basically an open face quesadilla. It looked good. read more

This is a new open and they have some work to do . My dinner was perfect .. my friends lamb was well done .. should have been medium rare or rare . My guess inexperienced line cooks that will improve with practice so definitely worth another try . Chandler was an attentive server .

I really want to love this place. So many options! The pita isn't worth eating. The salads are good. The cauliflower is the best thing in the menu. It's fine in a pinch but isn't the best Mediterranean food in the neighborhood. read more

My expectations were high based on previous sit down restaurant locations, the menu was vast. We ordered 3 different meals that were each a different meal & type. This was NOT a good representation of their normal abilities. It was very fast food and not good. As I said, we tried 3 different meats 3 different ways. Meat was dry with no flavor. Overpriced for the quality of food. I hoped for more but was disappointed. With regret we will never go back read more

Omgggg this place is sooooo good I ordered off door dash one day then ordered the next for pick-up but what you get delivered looks exactly like it would if you dine in. Make sure you get the hot sauce & white garlic sauce only thing I would say they could do different is squeeze some lemon juice on the cauliflower read more

This is my go to for falafel, whether in a salad, pita, side or whatever! Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Recommend exploring their decadent dessert case. The descriptions make my mouth water at each option! read more

Just as good as the original! We have tried half the menu and all is great. We do Pick up now 1-2 times a week read more

We tried Aladdin last night with friends. What a nice surprise. Wonderful service and the food was excellent. Began with Hummus and falafels. Outstanding. My salad was delicious with tender chicken, tomatoes, feta, chopped veggies and dried fruit. The dressing seemed homemade and was delicious. We will return! read more

The manager and our waitress Kasey were the nicest people ever!! They made our experience above and beyond. We drove 35 minutes to this location and will absolutely be making the drive again! read more

My wife works right down the street (at Hydrate Me) and brings dinner home from here. I can honestly say this is some of the best food I've ever had. Not just Lebanese food but any kind of food. The cauliflower is ridiculously good as well as the chicken. You literally can't go wrong with anything from here! I would give it 6 stars if I could!! read more

Went to Aladdin's for the first time, I look forward to coming back. Walking in, I was greeted by the owner, he was very energetic, friendly, and overall very welcoming. My server, Jessica gave me the menu and recommended a few things, she was very friendly. I first started with an energy juice to drink, this tasted very fresh and delicious. I had the spicy cauliflower to start as an appetizer, which was very delicious. For my main entree, I had the flavor savor special. This had a great mix of goods to munch on, very tasty. I then had the tiramisu and coffee for dessert, this was probably the best tiramisu I've had for a long while. The staff were very friendly and made occasional conversation with me, which overall made my experience at Aladdin's a memorable one. Solid 5 stars for Aladdin's, a definite recommendation for anyone. read more

Amazing food, great people! The manager is super smiley and friendly. The servers have great personalities. We always get Genie and Jasmine. read more

The service was primo. Then, when the server needed expertise help, she called on the manager who was absolutely awesome, as well. I asked for a combination which was not on the menu and she made it happen. Our food was delicious. Perfect! read more

No garlic sauce with the chicken shawarma is a real crime. Thin on protein. Salad was small too. Disappointing but decent. Go to Detroit for the best ME food. read more

We've been Aladdin's fans for a long time. The New Albany store is a nice addition to the chain. Same great food and service. Very nice decor and close to the Highway, very convenient. Had the Chicken Sambusek plate and hummus, great as always. Give it a try, great place. read more
