    Spicy!
    Douglas G.

    No idea why I've never been here before. It's two miles from my house! Delicious. Start with the hummus; the thin pita are perfect and the hummus is delicious. Be sure to use some of the spicy sauce. The chicken shawarma was delicious. Great flavor and added some hummus with each bite. The wife got the Greek chicken salad and loved it. Service was great and the place looks amazing. Really kicking myself for not coming here before, will definitely be back. So much to choose from.

    We wanted to try out a new place and we spotted this place when we were driving by. We went in and no one was at the front and the place was empty except for a couple at a table in the back. While we were waiting for someone to come to the front, I seriously thought about walking away thinking this is going to be a terrible experience. But I was so glad that we didn't leave! After waiting for few minutes, the hostess came and set us down. Our server came right away to take our order and the food came pretty quickly. We ordered Kibbie for appetizers, genie's combo plate and a mint tea. Everything was so fresh and flavorful with the perfect balance of seasoning. The mint in the mint tea is pretty strong, but it was good. The portion size are pretty decent. I definitely recommend this place and looking forward to visiting again.

    We stumbled upon Alladin on our way to the Columbus Zoo one evening while looking for a quick dine-in restaurant, and we came away pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Upon ordering, our food arrived reasonably quickly. The food was tasty, and the portion size of the entrée was shareable. My wife and I shared a Kibbie appetizer and a Genie's Combo Plate. My wife also tried the freshly brewed mint tea, which was just ok. While this was our first time here, we will definitely be back in the future. This is a great option for bigger groups looking for a restaurant with a halal, reasonably priced, and fairly large menu. We went there around 5 PM, and the place was pretty quiet. I am hoping the traffic there would normally pick up around dinner hours because the place really deserves more business.

    Genie's Combo Plate and Flavor Savor Special

    We come here often, and tonight was no exception to excellent service and a welcoming staff. We arrived at 9:30, knowing that they close at 10 but we always know what we want to order (recommend the Genie's combo plate and the flavor savor). Meg was a kind server, didn't try to rush us out and checked on us multiple times. The manager made sure to stop by and kindly asked us "please don't rush", even though they were closing soon. Will continue to come back!

    What an attractive place! I love the clean, contemporary design. Food was delicious...fresh-tasting and well prepared. Service was excellent. Will definitely return!

    Counter with sanitized/dirty pens and sanitizer. Table helps with social distancing at counter

    I stopped in to pick up some hummus and really glad I did. I hadn't been inside since the space changed hands. It is beautifully decorated inside and lots of socially distanced tables to eat at. You can tell the owners paid extra attention to keep the place sanitized - from the large table in the lobby to the hand santizer and separate cups with pens. I LOVE their hummus and when I order other items off their menu, it is always consistently good and delicious. Service is great, too!

    Beef shawarma, beef kafta, and hummus

    Delicious food and good service. Atmosphere is very nice too. Must try their hummus and cake

    So burnt. We want our money back

    I have been to this establishment a few times over the last two years. While the food is usually…read morevery good, the service and attitude of the employees has been less than stellar. The last time we went was a prime example. For one thing, when you ask a patron whether their gluten-free option is an allergy or a preference, it can come off very rude the way it is ask. If someone wants something gluten-free, then it should just be made gluten-free. No questions asked as that is rather intrusive. The second thing is we were eating lunch and there were about eight other people in there. It was 2:05. We didn't realize what time it was. They could've simply said. "Hey we're closing in the dining room" and we would have left. Instead they started putting up chairs and mopping the floor. There was an elderly couple in there, and I am on crutches due to A knee surgery. We all had to leave over wet floors and they seemed to care less. Even locking the front door and asking us to walk down the wet hallway with no rugs to leave. It was merely 2:10pm. They were downright rude and could've cared less for the patrons safety.

    We arrived without a reservation on a Friday around 4pm and were told that they usually expect…read morereservations for parties of 6, so we'll have to remember that for next time. There was a reservation for the 7-top table we were seated at, at 6pm and we were told that might be cutting it too close because they like to allow over 2 hours for a "large" party of six. They seated us anyway, but the vibe was that we needed to understand that we had a limited time. Since we were not having a celebration, we were pretty certain that we wouldn't take two hours to eat. That all seemed super odd to us and we kind of joked with each other about it during the meal. Spoiler alert: we were out in about an hour. I ordered the Shady Legs seasonal specialty cocktail. It had a cucumber soda water and a berry infused vodka and berry simple syrup. It came decorated cute with a flamingo toothpick, but I had to open my own umbrella on it, lol. It was unremarkable and the other person that ordered it agreed. The table shared the Buffalo Cauliflower and Honey Ginger Soy Cauliflower wings. Both were delicious and made just right to not be too raw or too mushy. I and another person got the Sweet Potato Noodles and they were very good and we both agreed we'd order that again. However, we both agreed that we thought it came with actual "noodles" made from sweet potatoes and were not expecting spiralized sweet potatoes. That didn't ruin the meal, because fortunately they were just the right consistency, Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, but both people wondered the Chickpea Curry said they thought it needed more sauce. As I said, we, with our "large" party were in and out in about an hour, so crisis diverted with the reservation for our table after we left.

The French onion burger consisted of very very caramelized onions, three different cheeses, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and a toasted bun with butter accompanied by french fries. The caramelized onions were so creamy and tasty. It really brought the whole burger together. The All-American Burger consisted of grilled onions, American cheese, a special sauce, bacon, lettuce, tomato on a buttered toasted bun with fries. The burgers were pretty big in patty size and we all finished our food with no problems. I'm glad we came here instead of spending over 100$ on 3 meals at the zoo!!

The corn at the bottom is still fresh with a crunch to it. The Black a garlic just has such a depth to the broth. The egg is always perfect and the pork just melts. The spring rolls were super crispy and I really liked the spicy mayo dipping sauce. I love anything that resembles a Bao bun. I especially appreciate the chili oil and spicy seasonings at each table. Warms you up on these unpredictable Ohio evenings. I also had a Tsing Tao and an Ichiban lager beer. All in all just an enjoyable meal. $41 plus tip for everything. No complaints. It was worth it.

Just maybe I'll skip the soup--or bring a pie crust of my own next time.
