Like fine wine, Aladdin's gets better with age. I have loved watching it evolve over the years, especially the restaurant, which started as a small offering and has now really come into its own. We had to feed a crowd at home recently and Middle Eastern cuisine suited everyone's fancy, so naturally Aladdin's was the call. Using the online ordering system was simple, and the food was ready right on time. My only feedback is that the items don't all clearly describe what you get or how the dish comes, and so I added sauces thinking they came on the side but really came on top, and paid upcharges for things like pita, thinking they didn't come with it but then finding out they did and I just added a lot of extra. I ordered a few shawarma plates, an Aladdin combo, and hummus, falafel, and babaganoush appetizers. Everything was delicious, but some items were a bit surprising. The hummus is was a bit on the loose side, and we actually thought it was tahini from the look, aroma, and flavor. My guess is the batch was made with a bit more tahini than normal. Still good, but surprising. The Aladdin's Combo didn't look as pictured on the website, where it looks like a very sizable portion of meat, with chicken in a reddish marinade. Though the chicken looked similar to shawarma, it was clearly different in flavor, and both it and the koobideh were delicious. I ordered extra meat and had expected it to be outrageously large based on the menu photo of the standard order, but what came was more similar to the photo itself. It was still plenty to share, but I paid additional and didn't seem like I got that much more. The regular portions here are large, like easily feed two people sized. We ordered one plate per person, but in reality could've split them all. Again, I love this spot and chalk this up to learning. I think some folks could get frustrated with this experience, and I def did to an extent, but I enjoy this too much to gripe. read more

I've been to Aladdin's several times in the past when needing groceries for some of my Greek recipes, but this time my wife and I decided to hang out for a while and have lunch. We were not disappointed! Here are a few things to know: - In addition to selling Mediterranean groceries, you can order at the register and there are several small tables so you can sit and eat. - I ordered the Gyro Sandwich, and my wife ordered the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. Both were really good, and quite large...I, of course, polished my entire sandwich off and my wife took half home for later. - We've bought Greek cheeses, olives, bulghur, and spices at Aladdin's, both this time and in the past. It's the only place to find some of the things I need, and the prices are better on some things than even Amazon. - Service was really great. The person working let me wait to pay until after I had finished my grocery shopping, and she brought our food out to our table pretty quickly. Bottom line: Aladdin's is a go-to place for us...next time, we'll probably go again at a time which would let us enjoy lunch at the same time. read more

Great food and market for all your Mediterranean favorites. Have eaten in and shopped for specialties. Great service.

The falafel sandwich is so so good here. We also tried the kofta and tabouleh which i didn't think were very good. I'm middle eastern though and particularly picky in this type of cuisine. I didn't think the baklava was anything special either. The market is cool since there are really no other places around to get middle eastern ingredients, and the owner is passionate. Loved the frozen molokhia, pita bread and feta cheese options. I'll definitely keep coming back here! Wanna try the baba ghanoush next. read more

My husband has been raving about this place lately since coming here for lunch. I still have yet to try the food, but came here to pick-up a variety of sweet treats for my Book Club. The lady that helped me was really nice and was kind enough to help me make a selection. The desserts are made on-site and tasted really delicious and fresh. The market side is stocked with products from all over the Middle East. I didn't have alot of time to explore, but definitely will when I return. I also look forward to trying the food. Really cool place! read more

The shopping side is so cool to explore. You can get pita from Lebabnon, Israel, etc. Love the Lebanese dried olives and the Saudi cookies. They even have Lavash bread if you're into making Armenia style sandwiches. The baklava game here is hardcore, many varieties and nations respresented, TRY THE ALL! For the deli side, and shawarma or plate will be amazing, I promise! The Kibbeh with Toum or Harissa will make your toes curl either joy. The salads and sice combos do well. The pita and hummus is excellent. Nice people and great food, TAKE MY MONEY!!!! :) read more

I've been going to this spot since it first opened and the food is consistently delicious. One of the best Mediterranean spots in Reno by far. The family that runs it is extremely sweet and they care about what they're doing. Would recommend the platters or the falafel read more

I've been here 3 times now with my oldest son and a review was over due. The flavors here take me back 15 years ago. Sigh.. When he was 8 years old we would go on trips to TKD tournaments to Davies, Ca and we used to stop for Gyro sandwiches in this cute little spot near the college. Aladdin's reminds us of that traditional Mediterranean food we had on our trips there but this place takes it up a notch with all the products you find here. From Harissa sauce to home made dolmas and pistachio Baklava,this place is full of surprises. When we visit Aladdin's we order the Gyros (beef and lamb mix) sandwich. It comes in a pita type of bread with green lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and a yogurt based sauce. I like a little spice in mine so I ask for the red spicy sauce. The service is always quick and the ladies taking your order will help you with suggestions. They have 3 small tables indoors to enjoy your meals or there are picnic benches outside the building too. Stop by and explore this quaint little spot in Reno. You'll keep going back for more! read more

My husband loves Greek salad so I decided to surprise him with dinner from Aladdin's. I placed an order online for onion rings, Beef Shawarma plate w/Greek salad, a side Greek salad and a baklava. Ordering was super easy, when I went to pick it up they were making it fresh so I did have to wait about 10 minutes. When I got home and unpacked the food we immediately devoured the onion rings and they were delicious! Next we really enjoyed the Greek salad and the dressing was on the side which made it fresh and super tasty. Now to the Beef Shawarma...the rice was amazing but even though the beef had good spices and tasted good it was tough and very chewy making it hard to swallow. I was not impressed. We have ordered here before and really enjoyed our food. We will return but we will not be ordering the beef. I hate to leave a negative review but the beef was not good and my husband left his on his plate taking away from my surprise read more

Quality/Quantity - Both a grocery store and a hot deli. Chicken Shawarma Plate with Lentil Soup - My wife and I both got the chicken shawarma. Not typical flavors/herbs I am familiar with. I can't even describe it. It was not bad. I did like the lentil soup, and if you are following, you know I don't even like soups. Chicken Shawarma Sandwich - Same/similar as above. Just the right size for one person, well for one light eater. The plate looks much more appetizing rather than the sandwich, see pictures. But it tasted exactly the same. I look forward to coming back and trying some of your other dishes which might better suit me. Atmosphere - Beautiful paint job, not sure how recent it is...? See pictures. Semi open kitchen, mostly covered with the grocery items, shelving, etc. Outdoor dining only today; see pictures. Good size one unisex restroom. Plenty of private parking as there were only 3-4 of us here today. One car parked on the wrong side of the lot and it confused everyone.... Across the street from Fox Brewery; see picture. Can you believe my wife actually wanted to go there instead. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 7pm (kitchen hours are from 11am to 7pm). Service - Good. Price - $27 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014. read more

I'll be back again. read more

Aladdin's Market & Kitchen - Soup and chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Old y, but still a goody. I came here for their Aladdin Plate (Chicken, beef, rice, pita, hummus, & tabouli salad). Plus I also ordered the falafel appetizer. This meal was way more than enough for less than $25. The food didn't disappoint one bit. The chicken was packed with flavor and beef kofta was tender. The tabouli salad was refreshing & the falafels were like extra flavorful hush puppies lol. I loved all of it. I was so full, but decided to order one of each baklava + an almond cake. My personal fave was the almond baklava. The sweetness was subtle and it was perfectly crispy. read more

Aladdin's has become a signature middle-eastern food place in Reno. They do not serve a whole lot but whatever the items you see on the menu - all of them are too good. All of the people are super nice - no complains on service. They still have the corners to have food. You can also shop middle-eastern items. Clean space overall. I completely forgot the name of the item, but they have a dried mango pulpy food in front of the counter - that is something too good as a healthy desert item. This is my second review of Aladdin's, but 5 stars on both occasions. read more

A darling little international market with foods from the Mediterranean! I needed Bulgarian feta to make a few batches of Tiropetes and Aladdin's market was the best option to buy this in larger quantities. Not sure if other markets in the area sell Bulgarian feta, but Aladdin's was my first thought. While there I stocked up on a few other essentials like ghee, fresh and canned dolmas, Turkish coffee, fresh hummus, and several boxes of filo dough to make my tiropetes. I also placed an order for Shawarma Fries, which we've had many times from Aladdin's. They are so insanely yummy and often one serving is enough for two meals. Well worth the trip into midtown to pick up. A wonderful little shop and addition to Reno. If you haven't been in for the shawarma fries then you are missing out, but the market is a nice little treat as well! read more

I was talking to a friend about when I went to Egypt and had chicken Shawarma. Through yelp I found Aladdin's and I went there for lunch. Aladdin's is a market/deli but it has a few tables inside and a few benches outside. You order at the front register and a large menu is on the wall behind the counter. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate which comes with hummus/small pita bread slices, saffron rice, chicken and a side. I ordered the Greek salad as the side. As I told one of the owners of my last experience with chicken shawarma she told me it was a family Jordanian recipe from her husband's family. I received my order very quickly. I ate the Greek salad first which came with a house dressing which was fantastic and the greens were very fresh. The hummus was traditional and very tangy and refreshing. The family recipe chicken shawarma was WOW so flavorful and way better than the one I had in Egypt. The saffron rice was also nice and fluffy. The portion was a good size to the point where I took some home. The is definitely a place I will return to. Highly recommended!!! read more

I love this restaurant. The food here is amazing. This time around I made it in about 30 minutes before closing time. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it filled me up. The flavor is fantastic. I've probably come here 5 or 6 times over the past few years and it's always wonderful. Tonight I made the trip from South Lake Tahoe just to eat here. If you haven't already given them a try, I highly recommend it. read more

we are big Big BIG fans of Aladdin's. My dad wanted a good restaurant and likes more untraditional places with traditional food so i brought him here. I love the shopping and bakery while you wait for your food. and my dad did too! it is so fun to pick up some new kitchen staples while waiting for your meal. the workers are all kind and helpful when it comes to choosing meal selections. i get falafel every time since i love how crispy and delicious they are! there are only four double seating tables so be sure to get there early to grab a chair and table! it's a grocery store and restaurant so it is a little untraditional but everything is tasty. my new favorite is the chicken shawarma fries! read more

Reno's hidden Mediterranean gem, especially for good shawarma and baklava, all made in-store and for a quick bite! Also, all within a fabulous market that you can browse and get some great ingredients and snacks, all for a bargain. The store itself is cute and welcoming, and we were greeted by the sweetest woman, she shared that she was from Turkey! The food was fabulous, it was cooked and curated with the original spices that we have been looking for. I opted for the chicken shawarma and my husband got the beef shawarma. Both were absolutely delicious, and so filling. There was so much packed into our breads, that the filling kept falling out! Regardless, it was absolutely something to look forward to and the marinated meat gave us something that felt good and authentic. Additionally, what review would be completed without mentioning the baklava? We opted for the chocolate with pistachio baklava, and I'm still craving it! It was so delicious, and everything that I ever wanted from a fresh baklava. We can't wait to get the bigger pieces! All in all, if you're in midtown and looking for some good food, stop right in for a quick bite here. I couldn't recommend it enough. read more

Went there to grab take out for dinner. I have always been a fan of shawarma, one of my staples throughout my college days and beyond. This place was good. We ordered the beef shawarma sandwich, the beef plate, the shawarma chicken fries and the dolmas. The taste was superb. I think any shawarma lovers out there would approve. The chicken fries had fries buried under a mount of tasty chicken. The only one that didnt catch my fancy was the dolmas which had a burst of flavor combination that was a bit too intense for my palate. The restaurant part is a part of a small grocery store that specialize in middle east and mediterranean goods. The service was fast. There are tables to sit down at but it's really designed for take out. Sandwich is on the expensive side, being 10.99. I recommend for the taste and quality. read more

Food was excellent! Homemade pita bread. Lady at the counter was very nice and helpful.

Not just a market. I'm late to game for this business. I thought it was small market that I didn't need. But after several travels abroad the last couple of years, I headed into Aladdin for the flavors I was craving. Not just a market, there's a deli too. Eastern Mediterranean food is made fresh to order. The shawarma fries are shareable. Huge order of French fries topped with seasoned beef pieces, Mediterranean salsa, tzatziki sauce, and cucumber slices. Four different hummus's are the creamiest I've ever had. The dolmas are perfection, light lemony rice in grape leaves and olive oil, and just the right size to snack on. There are also sandwiches, pits and salads on the menu. There's a couple of tables to eat in at in the corner. But when I do actually want to cook, the market area has a fabulous selection of Mediterranean spices, sauces, teas, and canned and jarred products. And a nice selection of frozen items. They have their own small parking lot and some street parking. Credit card accepted- tap or swipe. read more

Found this place on yelp and what a terrific surprise! When one walks in the door, the smell of the kitchen is overwhelmingly delicious and made me salivate. I ordered a gyro and a grape leaves to go. The meat and the Gyro was so tender and juicy. The best one I've ever had! Salt grape leaves were also very very good. And sauce with them was perfect.

This is my first time having this place or this type of food. I'm usually very picky with food. But wanted to try something new and let me tell you! I'm so happy I did! I ordered online and got a mix of things.I looked at everyone's reviews online and everyone raves about the Dolmas, I could eat those forever! I didn't even look up what they were just saw everyone saying how yummy they were. I'm so impressed! I got the sampler plate and it was so good! The portion of food was great I had yummy leftovers for almost two days. I also really enjoyed the garlic sauce. I want a bottle of it. Anyway to sum it up, I can't wait to order more! read more

Incredible market, amazing grocery food selection, great place for halal meats, amazing prepared food, sometimes a bit spicy for my palate tho, super friendly and heartwarming people. I suppose my only feedback is that I find the hours somewhat inconvenient. I keep forgetting how late they open. Especially in the summer when the sun is up before 6. I have driven there from way across town to get special bulk pricing on things like olive oil and rice and tahini - and I forget to check the time and I'm there like a half hour too early usually between 10-10:45 and end up leaving and choosing to buy stuff somewhere else. So it's a great place to shop and eat if you can catch them open. read more
