Casual place to grab a fresh and delicious meal. The owner came over to chat with us a bit and thanked us for choosing to eat there. We learned that it's a family business and he pointed out his sons that were working there. Love the customer service and engaging in conversation with him. All of our servers were quick and friendly and the restaurant was clean. Portions were generous, fresh and delicious. We enjoyed a couple of pitzas, falafel, hummus, pita bread, soups and a variety of meal choices. The sauces (one garlic and the other a homemade hot sauce) were delicious. My aunt raved about the freshly squeezed juice options. We finished with some strong coffee and a few slices of carrot cake and coconut cake. Those cakes were amazing and we all agreed that while both were delicious the carrot cake reigned supreme. Plus it's near TJ Maxx so it's a great way to spend the day. read more

On a recent visit to Raleigh, NC for work, we found Aladdn's via Yelp on a Sunday night. We called seeing they were going to close at 8PM and sat people until 7:30PM while we were 10 mins away from our hotel. The friendly staff greeted us, made recommendations, served us and were some of the most friendly and accommodating staffers anywhere. The food was excellent and everything was made and served fresh and hot (except the salad haha). The fresh hummus as an appetizer for the table was so good. I wish we ordered two servings. They lightly fired cauliflower was also tasty, but not as hot and spicy as advertised for us. Then for entrees the Genei's Combo Plate with chicken mishwi and the Jasmine;s Favorite including cooked beans & veggies and brown rise with chicken mishwi or tawook were equally good. Several of us chose the Aladdin's Favorite Combo with brown risk, greens, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce along with beef Kafka, shish kabob, and shish tawook which was a nice blend of cool, fresh veggies and the warm proteins. Try the Lebanese beer, too. All in all, 4 solid stars fore the food, the staff, and the accommodations. Well done Aladdin's! read more

Excellent food and service! Had the Aladdin's plate with a side salad. Salad and Kafta rolls are always fresh and great flavor. Have eaten here and at the 2 locations in Cincinnati multiple times and would recommend. read more

Loubie's platter is my favorite item on their menu. It's vegan. Italian green beans in a yummy sauce with rice. Service was excellent and quick dinner time, despite them being very busy with deliveries, takeout orders and indoor diners. I'm so glad they're popular. I hope they offer outdoor seating in nice weather. read more

First time. We were in the neighborhood for business and found Aladdin's eatery on Yelp. Great food. Some of the best falafel I've had! Service was friendly and attentive. Wonderful choices of desserts. My brother got to talking to the owner, and he gifted us some baklava and freeze-dried Skittles. We also purchased desserts to go! Will definitely return. read more

Overall- I would 100 percent come again. I just wish they had a branch in Durham! Price- super reasonable considering the freshness and amount of food you get What we got TLDR- it was all delicious! Mediterranean plate with lamb- lamb was delicious and fresh. Rice had a great combination of nuts at the top with aromatics. So delicious Saltans shawarma pizza - it's a shawarma on a very thin crispy pita. The tahini sauce was amazing. You can tell it's fresh. Great light flavors from the onions tomatoes and cucumbers Hummas - so good. Not oily or salty it was a perfect starter served with hot fresh pita Sfiha- it's like a Mediterranean burrito. Not something I would have chosen but my partner wanted it. It was good surprisingly. We ordered a lot though so we didn't actually finish this one Ambiance - casual low key place in a strip mall with indoor and outdoor dining options Service - fantastic. Very friendly and helpful read more

I love Aladdin's. The hummus is delicious, the pita is delicious, the spicy cauliflower is to die for. The rolled hummus and falafel is so good and so large. Pickles r amazing. I crave it all the time now! read more

Dropped back in 3 plus years later!! Went for the vegan, gluten free Jasmine's Favorite ( cooked beans, vegetables, brown rice seasoned with herbs and got both dipping sauces - tahini yogurt and the hot sauce) and put the vegan, gluten free Lebanese Salata on top. (Chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, scallions, onion, parsley, oil, lemons, herbs.) Not too huge but definitely a full course!! Was going to get a bowl of vegan chili but glad I did not. Might do a dessert cake though. Service was fantastic. Menu unbelievably diverse and no diet or lifestyle would not be serviced. Keto, gf, vegan, vegetarian, whole 30, paleo, wfpb, high protein, etc etc. The next table said outloud "a ton of options!" Not crazy expensive. Got a carrot smoothie for a beverage and out for under 20 buckos with a dessert!!! read more

I want to like this place more than I do, because of the vegetarian options. Food was just okay and staff was dismissive during my visit. read more

I ate here a few weeks ago and forgot to do my review. We were a party of six and there were only two women working the entire restaurant so as a result it was terrible service. Nice people but everything was slow and disorganized coming to the table. We had to ask for utensils and then wait for ever to get them, etc. The food was just okay - with the exception of the cauliflower appetizer. All six of us said we wouldn't come back again based on the food alone. I love the vegetarian options but that doesn't help much if the food is not good so there's that. I would give it one more try because I feel like if they weren't short staffed, it would be a different experience AND that cauliflower app is worth a second look. But is this one of those places that I am excited to refer - not this time. read more

Wonderful food--authentic, flavourful, perfectly cooked meat with the right amount of moisture. Kind staff, too.

Went to Aladdin's yesterday for lunch and was delicious! I ordered the Shwarma salad with steak and a house dressing and it was very tasty. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals and the manager checked on us a couple times and provided excellent customer service. Will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding shawarma and kafta. I definitely recommend this place. The staff were attentive and food was quick to arrive at my table. Get some! read more

This is by far one of the best meals I've ever had in my life and undoubtedly the best Mediterranean. This meal is so good I felt compelled to stop and write this review. If you are considering eating here, dont make it a consideration just do it!! You will not regret it. All fresh ingredients from scratch, quick service and a fantastic atmosphere. We had the baba ganoush, tabouli, curry chicken, genies combo and the flavor savor combo. All of it is legitimately impact-fully good there wasn't a single thing I wasn't blown away by!! read more

The service was very good...I like that the ingredients used was fresh and very flavorful

Very good healthy restaurant - they do not have gluten free wraps - I was certain I'd seen it somewhere but no. Had lamb with rice. Very good. Service was good. Lots of gluten free options. Will be back for sure. read more

Delicious Mediterranean food. We had several appetizers & I had their lamb dish with jasmine rice which was awesome. They do an excellent job with social distancing, our server always had her mask on. We wanted to eat outdoors & they have a nice patio to accommodate that. The prices are reasonable & our server was very attentive. You can't go wrong here for Mediterranean food! read more

This place is so delicious. Their dishes are a twist on the traditional middle eastern cuisine. The pitza sauce was so creamy and was overall pretty healthy. Desserts looked great but I didn't try. read more

Stopped by for lunch today, we had two of the rolled pita sandwiches. The falafel hummus and chicken shawarma were both excellent. The pita wrap is thin and not an overwhelming amount of bread that traditional pita sandwiches can be sometimes. All the ingredients were super fresh. Really enjoyed the pickled items in my roll that I was not sure about when I order it, the hummus was creamy, and falafels were yummy. The chicken roll was super flavorful as well. We had the hot sauce on the side, very good and not super hot. The sweetened black iced tea was delicious, not overly sweet Our waiter was very attentive, had full service outside. Social distancing, masks, and other COVID measures were followed. Definitely recommend. read more

Delina A - great server! Hospitable, attentive and friendly. Highly recommended! Delicious food.

Ok I understand made fresh to order but there's no way a sandwich should take almost 20 minutes to get. Sorry won't be eating here unless I have the weekend off read more

Terrible Middle Eastern food. I am 100% middle eastern, and grew up with the very best of the cuisine. So I am a tough critic. But even so, this food was terrible and so was the service. The waitress was nice enough but knew absolutely nothing about the menu or the food. The hummus was a disgrace, the kafta was tough and rock hard (how do you get ground meat to be this hard, I do not know), the falafel was super dense and raw in the middle. I ordered the largest combo of mixed items. It came literally with three tiny pieces of shish kebab. I honestly can't say anything positive about the experience. We will never eat there again. read more

Service was ok. My mom and I ordered the 5 piece falafel from the appetizer menu and it was very flavorful. We asked for tzatziki sauce, Aladdin's Eatery doesn't sell, make, nor have tzatziki sauce and we exited immediately. read more

Stumbled upon Aladdin's Eatery after flying into Durham and was very pleasantly surprised. My husband and I tried the chicken shawarma roll, Len-Chili with chicken, and the Shawarma salad. It was so delicious and the service was great. I highly recommend! read more

Service was ok. Asked for sprite 3 times and never got any. Waited 15 minutes to be seated due to short staff perhaps. No soap in the bathroom & floor was very wet. Did not like my food but they did ask if I wanted something else. Hummus was great but the pita was chewy read more

I had the Genies Combo. Everything was really good and fresh. Felt like a good wholesome, home-cooked meal. I'll be back while visiting this area read more

I tried out Aladdin's Eatery on a business trip to the Raleigh area. My selection was based on other Yelp reviews, the fact that Aladdin's has a decent gluten-free menu and the website has one of the most useful nutritional charts I have seen. It is easy to read and has lots of categories. I used the chart to pick the grilled tuna salad with feta and a balsamic vinagrette dressing. The tuna was perfectly grilled, the mixed salad greens fresh and the feta provided a nice balance taste-wise. The order was ready on time. The only negative was that when I picked up the order there was a piece of pita bread in the bag, even though I specifically stated on my order that it was to be gluten free. When I asked if the pita was GF, I was told it was not. I don't understand why it was included. read more

Aladdin's is full of really nice people trying hard to please, and the menu is very exciting, just stuffed with delicious-sounding dishes, many of which I haven't tried but would love to. And some of it lives up - their Moroccan mint tea transported me right back to Marrakech, and their arayiss rolled pita is excellent and studded with pine nuts. I also appreciated their not-too-sweet smoothie. When they accidentally forgot to put turnips and pickles in my pita, they quickly brought me a side of them, which was very nice. But then, while I was in the restroom (and my partner was still at the table) they scooped up my half eaten wrap and threw it away by accident, thinking it was trash. (Honestly this is mostly my partner's fault for not stopping them.) When I came back and discovered it was gone, they unhesitatingly offered to make another, and did - unfortunately, when I got home and opened it, it was the wrong wrap with a totally different kind of meat. I wasn't wild about their babagannouj - it was fine, nothing special, but fine. And the 'pitzas' are such a creative idea, but in practice the bread simply does not hold the toppings and I found the falafel version to be soggy and so lemony as to be almost cleaning-spray-adjacent. read more

Wow, an amazing little hidden gem near the airport. Don't let the look fool you, the restaurant itself look a little dated but well worth it to come in. Staying nearby hotel overnight and just walked over. I got the Super Salad with lamb and it was amazing. Very filling and tasty, very reasonable price. I eat salad often and it was easily one of the best salad that I got. Also, the server recommended the V-Nine soup, it was standard. I would try another soup next time. A bit far from where I normally go, but I will for sure stop by again if I am in the area. Also very nice people here. read more

The best Mediterranean food in North Carolina. Welcoming people, Tasty food, feels like a home. I highly recommend this place. Even my kid love the food and ate her whole plate. read more

Amongst all the chain restaurants in the brier creek area, this place is a welcome change. Even though this place is also a chain, it is local to NC. Truly one of the few good lunch-dinner places for a healthy meal. Their menu is vast and clearly labeled. The portion sizes are great and the vegetarian food is really good. I love the soups and pita sandwiches here. Lunch time on Fridays can be pretty packed so you might have to wait before you get seated. That is probably the only downside. Have dined here multiple times and so far it has been positive. Finding parking can be a pain, especially around lunch time. I mostly prefer doing a take out since it's quicker that way. They also carry cakes and other gluten-free and vegan desserts, if you are in the mood for something sweet after your meal. Pro-tip: Check-in on yelp to get a huge piece of cake for $3.50. I got the almond cake, and it was really good. read more

This place was pretty good. They have a lot of vegan options. I think I would try this place out again, and maybe get a different dish though. Mine was good but I don't know if I would get it again. The area itself is in a busy area so it was hard to find parking on a Saturday. read more

The service was laughable and the cost of the food they serve doesn't match. The waiter kept walking away as we gave our order and inevitably got the order wrong. The people who were there all seemed to be eating mostly pizzas, so that should have been a sign that everything else was not worth trying. I do not recommend this place. read more

I was visiting the area and used Yelp to help me find a place to eat (as I often do). Aladdin's came up with a 4 plus rating so I decided to give them a try. I was totally pleased. The service was great and the food even better. I had the Jasmine's Favorite. There are several different combinations you can put on top of the rice medley which was so flavorful that whatever you put in it I'm sure it will be delicious. I had the carrot and some freshly blended juice and it was outstanding. Fire dessert I had the cheese cake baklava. AMAZING!!! Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ever have that feeling of complete satisfaction... well, we did today. Hubby and I discovered a new place to eat and the flavor, the freshness, and the friendly staff (Johanna) made every moment of our dining experience enjoyable. The expansive Mediterranean-style menu and the delicious desserts gave us plenty of items to choose from. It's good to know that healthy options for dining out are still available. read more
