The staff are SO welcoming and give you the feeling as though they are literally welcoming you into their home for a meal. Personally I am not the best when it comes to pronouncing many of the menu entrees/offerings, yet no worries as they set you at complete ease while offering you a menu with pictures & detailed explanation for every entree & menu item. There is nothing-and I mean literally nothing I have order that hasn't been pure perfection. Thank you Cedar's family for providing Rochester with the very best authentic mouthwatering menu available

I really wanted to love it here. It is a much bigger location than the times I was here…read morepreviously. They bought the old Starbucks location next door. I ordered online to pick up, and it was ready when I got there. The spanokopita is very good. That is what I had when I was here before, and it is still great. We also had the baba ghanoush, which was also good. But the pita it comes with is hallow and hard. Nothing like having great baba ghanoush and nothing good to eat it on. We had also gotten the pita chips, and they were seasoned well and ok, but so, so hard! Like hard to bite them hard! I would absolutely get the spanokopita again. If they had a great pita, I'd do the baba ghanoush again, or try the hummus, etc. Tasteless, stale pita just isn't doing it for me.

I have not eaten inside the restaurant since the new owners of Sultan took over. I came as part of…read morethe large group called Cooking Across Cultures for lunch to eat their mixed shawarma platter of chicken, beef, salad, humus and pita. We got to meet the owner and he told us how he bought the restaurant from the previous owner, kept the name and continued with the Lebanese dishes so the same cuisine and flavors would continue. Though I have tried shawarma many times, it was good to learn how they made it which seems like a very long and intense process. Food was still amazing and well worth it. Glad they will continue to be a continued stable at the Mt Hope plaza.

We chose Aladdin's to have a special birthday celebration. When we were seated, our eventual server…read more(who never introduced himself but we later found his name on the receipt) waked past our table half a dozen times while making eye contact with us each time. It seemed as though our table was an inconvenience to his evening. It was about 15min into us sitting down before we were asked about ordering which he rushed us through. We did however get water right away, and later on the same woman was very prompt with bussing our table. My friends enjoyed their meals, but we waited almost 10min for my meal to come out of the kitchen (falafel pita) after my friends all received their meals. The server walked past and looked at me three times before my friend addressed that my food was not out yet. No apology, just telling us it's on the way out in as few words as possible. When it arrived, it was cold and the falafel was over-fried but at that point I was so hungry I didn't care to complain. When we were finishing our meals, the server reached across the table with a stack of napkins, no words exiting his mouth, but direct eye contact made until we took the napkins from his hand. It was an unpleasant experience and we will not be returning. The saving grace of the evening was our ice cream treat at Pittsford Dairy!

On this trip I got the braised lamb shank, she got the fetteh, and we both got the Shai karak drinks. The drinks were incredible, flavorful and rich with a hint of spice. My lamb was falling off the bone, didn't even need a knife to get it off. Hers was fresh, flavorful, and she says she "would keep eating if my stomach was bigger". The atmosphere was beautiful, with traditional tapestries and love plants scattered around. Would come again and already planning on it.

We were immediately seated at the bench seating against the wall to the right when you walk in. We both would've preferred one of the booths but they were all full. That is the one thing about Sinbad's again it's not a big restaurant and there is no privacy. The food and service do make up for it. And then our waitress came to the table and took our drink & appetizer orders. Then she came back a few minutes later with our waters and my glass of Pinot Grigio & lentil soup which is delicious he got it but he shared it with me. I ordered the Cabbage rolls ( Malouf) and they were delicious it also came with a Greek salad that was also good. He got the vegetarian plate which I liked too and we shared our meals with each other. The waitress was very nice and happy the food was great. We will be back another time.
