Tried this place for dinner with my husband and his family. Parking is in a large lot connected with other restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Not super convenient handicap parking spots but there are normal spots that are closer. There wasn't anyone there to greet us after we dropped off my in-laws but they had a table already so it was easy to find. Space is medium sized with plenty of booths. Quality of the food was really good and the portions were very generous. Everything was well seasoned and meat was very flavorful and moist. Usually kebabs are hit or miss when it comes to flavor and moisture of the meat, commonly getting too dry, but this was coked beautifully. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area! read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Worthington - Kebab plate with chicken shawarma, falafel, hummus, salad and rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Worthington, Ohio

Food was GREAT!!! And big. Best falafel wrap ever. Lady at register was very nice. 10 out of 10

Stopped in for restaurant week and it was delicious! Started with the hummus which had so much flavor, we could just eat it with a spoon. Our meal with so flavorful with notes of curry but that pitaschio baklava was to die for. Great service and good food, would definitely visit again. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my dad and son. Service was fast and friendly. They have a dessert case that we looked at while waiting for our food. They have some vegan options. Ended up getting my son a chocolate chip cookie and a couple pieces of baklava to go. The baklava was okay, didn't have a lot of flavor. I ordered hummus and falafel for my son and the vegetarian plate for me, which had hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, tabouleh, and falafel. All was very good. Got my dad the beef shawarma. The have fresh pressed apple juice so got that for my son. He drank some of it but seemed unsure. I tried one of the Lebanese beers and liked it. Had plenty of leftovers that we enjoyed over the next few days. Would come back here if in the area. read more

Aladdin's is a go-to for Ladies Lunch with my group. Some of us like to do a mani/pedi at Anthony Vince, and then lunch at Aladdin's after while we wait for our toes to dry! My go-to is the Mudjara Power Bowl with grilled chicken added. It's such a great combination of lentils, rice, greens, and chicken, with a fresh dressing and delicious crispy onions. I haven't ordered a different entree here in years. For appetizers, the hummus is always great, and we also like the garlic cauliflower for something different. It's soft and garlicky and comes with a tahini drizzle. The desserts are beautiful, though I don't often have one. Plenty of parking in the mall lots, and it's easy to get in and out of. read more

The food is good. Having said that, I always feel like I have gotten the wrong thing when I leave. I'm never completely satisfied with what I've gotten. this could be completely my own issue, so please feel free to offer suggestions. The food is never bad. The service is always good, but I always feel like I am wanting something more. One thing that is consistently outstanding are their desserts. There are a lot of delicious options and they always hit. read more

Great experience here! The food was great and flavorful and we got pretty full from the apps of falafel and the pesto hummus. the pesto hummus was good! the falafel looked burnt? but didn't taste burnt it tasted fresh ! the falafel I got on my Aladdin's falafel pita rolled was lighter but both had the same flavor. Our group ordered the Jasmines favorite which had a rice and veggie base with a choice of meat and it was very aromatic. the rest of us got the rolled pitas. very filling and good prices too. I HIGHLY recommend getting the whipped garlic sauce !!! adding it to the rolled pita or the jasmines plate was amazing. the hot sauce was also good (too spicy for me but the others liked it!) We each tried a cake at the end which i would suggest the lemon cake or the caramel cheesecake. Our server was Alexis and she was great! read more

Great food and service. Wonderful selection of appetizers and main dishes. Will definitely be going back.

8 us went for dinner and everyone was satisfied and all of our orders were correct. I ordered my usual , The Flavor Savor, and it was really good but there was one disappointment: I have eaten at Aladdin's many times over the years and the pita was always thick and cut into wedges and warmed or grilled which made it special and super-good but ours was not. It was thin, cut into quarters and cold. The other thing was that most of us ordered dessert and the waitress did not clear our plates! With our appetizers and meals, there was no room on our table for dessert so we stacked and gathered the plates and put them on an adjoining table! Never ever had to do that before in any restaurant! The restaurant didn't seem that busy but oh, well. Aladdins, go back to serving pita like you used to, please! read more

I ordered the Aladdin's Favorite Combo or whatever the name of this lackluster dish was. For $19 dollars I got a little less than 2oz of chicken, 2 oz of beef, an entire plate of salad and an entire plate of rice. Don't go here if you want to make lackluster gains with the ration portions of protein that they provide for you. But if your goal is to maximize your glycogen storages, I totally recommend coming here. They should rename this place Aladdin's Carbohydrate Eatery because that is the only thing you will be seeing that this place. read more

They have multiple location around Columbus and I stopped by their Worthington location. They serve Lebanese cuisine and I love everything that I got. Highlight would be both the Spicy Cauliflower appetizer and the Genie's Combo with Hot Sauce. The Spicy Cauliflower is lightly fried and love the tahini lemon dressing. It have a hint of heat for the hot sauce as well. The Genie's Combo is a well balanced plate. The Chicken mishwi, which is grilled chicken, is tender and have smoky flavor. Along with seasoned brown rice with vermicelli, hummus, cauliflower and the refreshing Lebanese salata. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to eat here. Just a really enjoyable dining experience. The server was so friendly and upbeat. She had a great personality. I had the Genie's combo plate which had grilled chicken mishwi on rice with hummus, turnips, fried cauliflower and lebanese veggie salad. It is served with a pita basket and it is a LOT of food. The only negative was the pita bread. It was very thin and not very soft. The hummus had a thinner consistency than I am used to, but was delicious. Fried cauliflower was the best thing on the plate and I don't even like cauliflower. I suggest getting the side of garlic sauce to really take your meal over the top. Dessert case looks like something you would find in a pastry shop in Europe (or Las Vegas). They seem to feature Italian desserts. It took all my willpower not to try the fresh Italian lemon cream cake. Tiramisu also looked beautiful. They had a wine and beer list, but do not appear to serve cocktails. Prices were very reasonable, particularly considering the portion sizes and food quality. read more

This restaurant is located in the Shops at Worthington Place. It's a welcoming place with lots of choices on the menu. The décor is tasteful and you can have a choice of sitting in a booth or at a table. My husband had a raw juice called the "Honeymooner" made from carrots, grapes, and cucumbers. It was very refreshing. For his entrée he had Aladdin's favorite combo, which he enjoyed. I had a pitza made garlic, spinach, and feta. I wasn't thrilled with it because it was vinegary, so I removed all the banana peppers. That's right, you read it "pitza " because it's pita bread with toppings. I thought it was apropos that we tried the Honeymooner because actually we just celebrated our wedding anniversary the day before, so they gave us a gluten free chocolate ganache cake as a gift. Aww! I recommend this place. read more

Aladdin's is my #1 favorite lunch spot in Columbus. I have been eating regularly here for years at least once a week. I know good quality food that is both nutritious and delicious and this place is spot on in both of those categories! I always get either the chicken fattoush salad, chicken shishtawook rolled, or Aladdin's falafel rolled as well as the amazing hummus and baba ghanouj. They also have a pomegranate iced green tea that I absolutely love! This time I ordered the chicken Fattoush salad, hummus and iced green tea and it was amazing as usual. Literally, everything on the menu is delicious you cannot go wrong with this place :-) read more

There is a street side entrance and a mall entrance. It was not overly busy for dinner so diners were spread out around the dining room. They had the usual menus but you could pay using a QR code on the receipt. We had the large falafel (5 pieces), hummus with individually wrapped pitas, and we each had a rolled Kafta (one spicy and one not spicy). Then we had dessert, which was slices of Strawberry Cassata and Carrot cake. The pitas were thin, which I liked. The hummus was very creamy. The sandwiches were nicely toasted. I was really surprised by the variety of desserts. They also had baklava cheesecake, baklava, chocolate torte, and Pattycake Bakery gluten free cookies. Service was excellent! read more

Always quality and great tasting food. Jasmines favorite with lamb and of course the hot sauce is a must!

Yummy and healthy options. Great soups. I love the lentil mixed with chili or the V9. A plethora of tasty and healthy vegetarian options. The food here is consistently always good. Dawali is another favorite if mine and their hummus. Their hummus is so smooth and fresh tasting. I like it with the hot sauce. I'd also recommend Jasmines plate with salata, mujadara plate, and fattoush sala I love this entire menu except their falafel. I am picky about falafel and I find theirs and many others a bit dry. When it comes to falafel I'd recommend Lavash-theirs is moist and perfectly cooked. read more

Our go-to. Lots of healthy vegan options and the service is always kind. They always seem to have an open table. Some of the best hummus in town! read more

I brought my husband to your fine establishment to try something new. I'd been there before with friends. It was a lovely meal! I had the beef kafta. He had a shawarma salad. We shared the tabbouleh. The house made pitas were the star of the show! The carrot smoothie was refreshing. Jahlyia was attentive and knew the menu very well. I'll bring the whole family next time. read more

Aladdin's is on a solid rotation with my family. I love that it accommodates a variety a diets and we like that nothing is too heavy or greasy. We never feel gross after we dine here. Family favorites include the vegetarian appetizer sampler - huge portion and we can often make a meal out of splitting this and adding on a side salad. My little one loves their vermicelli rice and the chicken shwarma topped hummus plate. The spicy Kafta rolls are my hubby's fave. Definitely add on their homemade hot sauce. It's soo good (wish it didn't cost extra though) Tried the spicy cauliflower tonight and it was delicious! Adding that to our standard order from here on out. Service can be a bit hit or miss and even though the cakes always look SO gorgeous, every one I've tried has been dry and stale. Maybe they should refrigerate them? read more

Life is short - Order the baklava. I get something different every time I come here... this time it was the cranberry walnut salad and note: their salads are big!

Aladdin's is my go-to for Mediterranean eats. The Worthington location is closest to me but the Clintonville and Grandview locations are just as nice. I often come here with my vegan friend, and I've been told by others this is very vegan/vegetarian friendly. But their meat options are great too! The kids menu is nice for your average picky kid, mine usually just get the cheese pitza (cheddar and a little bit of feta) for around $4 each so it makes my wallet happy. As for myself, I literally always order the shawarma pitza. I should try something else, but the menu is big and overwhelms me and I so I just pick the same thing. Luckily, the same thing is a good thing. And after a starter of hummus, I usually end up taking home half. They have a very impressive dessert case! I've. Ever tried any of the cakes they have on display but I'm always tempted. read more

This location is not far from my work so I visited for lunch last week. It's right by First Watch at the Worthington Mall, with both an outdoor and indoor (mall) entrance. We were greeted by the pleasant hostess and our server was nice, knowledgable and efficient. I had the lentil soup that came in a large bowl, and tasted really good. I also ordered the Aladdin's Falafel Rolled Pita. It came out wrapped in foil with a plastic cup of dressing, on a plate. The serving of soup (with a piece of pita) was filling enough that I asked for a bag to take my pita and sauce to go. When I ate it later at work, I found the most delicious rolled pita I've ever had. It was slightly grilled and the falafel with vegetables tasted amazing. My husband had the Hummus Shawarma Plate and although he wasn't too impressed with the beef, he agreed the hummus was very good. I tasted it a couple of times and loved how fresh and creamy it was. I'm so glad I discovered this location and intend to go back for lunch soon. read more

We had a great dinner experience at Aladdin's (Worthington location). The ambiance was pleasant, the service was excellent - our server made some great recommendations - and the food was delicious! We had the Vegetarian Combo appetizer and Aladdin's Favorite Combo. Generous portions to split between two people. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place. Clean location, friendly service, and outstanding healthy food. I've enjoyed the vegetarian combo appetizer, lentil and the len-chili soups, the Genie's combo, and many desserts. The Spicy Cauliflower and Tabouli are also amazing. Can't wait to go again! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! My wife and live in Florida and any time we make it into this area we come here for as many meals as we can fit in our time here. This particular location has wonderful, friendly, attentive staff. The food is phenomenal. Tried for the first time the Sfiha(I think I spelled that right) and that was an unexpected surprise. And as usual the wraps and the lamb and the rice were top notch. Wonderful flavor without the heavy feeling afterwards. And I asked for an Arnold Palmer and they made it perfect! We will definitely be back before we leave the area. If you haven't been here yet, go! It wonderful! read more

I wish I had tried them sooner! Ive had them on my list of places to try since beginning of 2020. On a whim I decided to order there last month, and I was so shocked by the amount of food I recieved! Vegan food was clearly labeled - even vegan dessert options! That never happens. I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. There's so many items I still want to try from them that I never see at a Mediterranean joint, I'll definitely be a regular here. read more

This is my first visit to this particular Aladdin's so my review is of their food in general as a chain but I do feel they are pretty consistent in their quality. I've been to this location, grandview, Clintonville and toledo (which I think closed now). Aladdin is a regional chain with Mediterranean food. I've always found their soups and salads to be fantastic and fresh and very flavorful. These are a good choice every time. I think their hummus is good, nice and creamy maybe could use some garlic but good. If I remember correctly, I've had to order or ask for more veggies to dip with. And of course the pita bread goes perfect with hummus...and their pita is great. I'm not sure if they bake it at each location but it tastes fresh enough that they do. One of my favorite dishes is mujadra...it's a lentil dish with chopped tomatoes onion and cucumber on top. Of course spices and French fried onions....yeah, like French's but they make them in house. So delicious! And vegetarian too. It seems like in the past I've got it with hummus on top but when I ordered it today it had just the veggies and I actually think it's better that way. I'm not a fan of rolled type sandwiches in general so I've never had those. I think the lamb chops are pretty good. And their chicken dishes like Sharma are always good. Like most Mediterranean places they know how to spice the food just right. I've had and I always order the grape leaves because I love grape leaves but Aladdin's are just okay. I eat them but I've had way better at other places. The falafel is really good and one of my favorite places to order. Oh, and make sure to try their hot sauce...ON EVERYTHING...it's damn good. I've never eaten in this restaurant (only the other locations) but it seems clean and the service friendly and quick. Also, the desserts look delicious! read more

First time eating here for lunch with my family on Mother's Day. I chose the Genie's platter. Mango smoothie to drink. We also shared the dawali appetizer. Didn't try desserts as we were all so full. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was friendly. She was knowledgeable when asked about the menu. The restaurant was comfortable and the restrooms were clean. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend it. I hope to be back again soon. read more

Horrible second experience here. I decided to try the lamb shawarma and literally got two meager index finger lengths of rancid smelling lamb in a roll with unflavored pickled veg and some lettuce. Definitely not worth the price. I will not be returning. read more

Gluten Free- Yes Casein Free- Yes Aladdin's is a franchise restaurant. This one just happens to be located in the mall, over by the Kroger. If you aren't looking for it, you can easily miss the arch with the name, clearly written on it. The menu style/layout is extremely similar to the Cheesecake Factory, only filled with Mediterranean eats. One of the best things about the menu is that it clearly denotes which items are vegetarian(v), vegan(vg), gluten free (gf), and/or contains nuts(n). There are a handful of GF items to choose from that are expense/budget friendly. There is no upcharge for GF items. The portion sizes are quite generous, in that you can have enough for lunch the next day. The quality is decent, not earth shattering, but good. While a bit more, I would recommend adding sliced cucumbers in addition to your hummus, or to make it a bit more healthier meal. Overall, this Aladdin's provided friendly service, and a safe GF/CF meal. read more

Terrible meal this evening. Rice was extremely bland, tuna steak overcooked, likely to cover up the fact that it was not at all fresh. Inedible. Will never return. read more

The food was alright to me to be honest. Maybe it is COVID season everything changed up a bit but the last time/ first time having it the meet was super hard to chew on and that made it a 2 stars.. Would go back and give it another shot though after COVID and see if things are better. read more

I've had lunch during the week several times - the hummus appetizer is a large serving, and they give you flat bread instead of fluffier pita you may be used to (as I was expecting) - still good, though! I keep ordering the rolled pitas - they're so good! I've had dessert a couple times - they're pretty good, but not as amazing as their main dishes. The service is usually pretty quick - sometimes it can be slow (especially when they're busy) but I don't think I've ever felt "forgotten" or "neglected." The parking is plentiful, so I'd say park near a mall entrance and walk in, instead of trying to park on the Kroger's side to find a spot. read more

Thank you Aladdin's for a peaceful tasty break from the old bag and my kids. Well, we got almost to Pennsylvania and my passengers were causing all kinds of problems - Scarlett was passing gas, Trina kept putting her window down in the rain, and my wife refused to move her stinky feet off the dashboard. It was around dinner times anyways so I pulled off the expressway and grabbed a papa Johns double cheeseburger pizza for the wife and kids. For me? Well... I had my sights set on some Indian food for myself and aladdins nearby had good reviews. I sprayed some lavender as I left the wife and kids in the van and had what ended up being one of the best meals of my life. The pita bread was warm and freshly made! The lamb sliced thick and was an explosion of flavor. The chicken tikka burnt my socks off...in a good way. Each dish that came out was even better than the previous. I couldn't stop ordering plates because of this and as such ended up having what amounted to a 3 hour 8 course meal. Don't skip the mango lassi! By the time I was done with my meal, the rascals had calmed down and I was able to get to my sister in peace. read more

Y'all - it's just good tasting food. They've got meats, they've got vegetables, they've got fruits, and they combine them (usually not all at once, don't worry) into some tasty dishes. It's simple and clear and the flavor comes through. I hadn't been here in so long. I am not sure why. I'm so happy I stopped in. Will be back and regularly. read more
