Grill 352 &amp; Kabab

One of the most authentic and tasty places. They are truly Iraqi style fast food and cuisine. What…read morethat means is that the concept of Mediterranean cuisine is a universal flavor or style. Each nation has their own way of creating amazing dishes and this place knocks it out of the ball park when it comes to Iraqi Mediterranean food. The bread is made fresh, everything is cooked on the spot and sometime they do run out of stuff, that's how good this place is!

Aladdin is one of the few places in the area that serves mediterranean food, as far as I know. I…read morefelt like going against the grain of our usual asian vs italian vs american food delivery that we usually do and try to spice things up a little with some falafel and hummus. Enter Aladdin. Their menu includes appetizers, sandwiches, and platters. The appetizer menu has the usuals like fries and wings with some ethnic extras like samosas and hummus. Sandwich menu has many kebabs, shawarma, with vegetarian options like falafel and veggie mix. They also have a menu where you can get most of the sandwiches in platter form. I ordered the Iraqi famous veggie mix meal and Tina threw down a falafel sandwich. We added an order of fries and samosas. Their hummus is amazing. Closest I've had to authentic hummus in a long time. I didn't order a side order and I deeply regret it. Tempted to order delivery from here again just so I can order that hummus and bathe in it. The falafel is also very good. I have come across a wide variety of falafel textures and this one is more along the lines of floury rather than chickpea/grainy. They were crisp on the outside and hearty on the inside. They tasted excellent. Regarding the Iraqi famous veggie mix meal, the menu states "falafel, hand cut fried potatoes, eggplant, and samosa, comes with hummus, baba ganoush, and amba". What I actually received was a bunch of falafel, eggplant, a little container of hummus, iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickles, and banana peppers. There were zero "hand cut fried potatoes", no samosas, no baba ganoush, and no amba. Disappointing. Tina's falafel sandwich was also supposed to have "special sauce and amba or hummus". There was no sauce. Otherwise, the sandwich looked amazing. The samosas we received with our order of the appetizer were really good and stuffed with potato filling. They also included a few pieces of their Iraqi bread which was HUGE, soft, warm, and perfect to dip into the hummus. If you're in need of bread, I'd order their side of this bread which comes with 10 pieces. The prices were very reasonable but I wish they were more accurate with the menu.

Not only is he the owner, but also the cashier and chef. One man show! The food is made to order and not frozen, which is appreciated. The chicken wings I would rate 3.5/5, nothing too special, just usual wings. The beef kebabs were a 4/5. Again, nothing too special and imo were just a tad bit over cooked; it wasn't too juicy. However, the portion size is very good and the Tzatiki sauce is chef's kiss. The order took about 10-15 min to come out because again, it's made to order. The inside of the restaurant was strangley warm so we waited outside for our order. Overall, not too bad but I would like to see what else this restaurant has to offer!

But the chicken kabobs are also tasty. They invited me to try the beets hummus. I never knew such a thing existed. The fam loved it. Definitely give it a try folks. Cheers

I'd never really had Syrian food before, and I was blown away by the flavors and portion sizes. I…read moreordered both the whole chicken plate and a muhmmara pie, and I had enough food for probably 3 meals! Keep in mind that if you order the whole chicken plate, you need to place your order at least 45 minutes in advance for them to prepare it, but it's 1000% worth it. Whole Chicken Plate - I think this is actually a Cornish game hen rather than a really small chicken, and it was so perfectly juicy and fresh tasting. Ordering takeout chicken is especially risky of being dry, but this was juicy and cooked to perfection. The spices on the chicken had just the right amount of kick, and the nuts and the rice were seasoned perfectly. I'd eat just the rice without the meat too - it was that good! Side of Mutabal - I had never had this before, but it was so so so so good! It had a sort of creamy texture to it (maybe yogurt?) and it was so rich and satisfying. I'm also a fan of baba ganoush but this takes eggplant to another level - I'm going to have to order this again and again and even look up a recipe to make at home. Absolutely recommend this gem of a side! Muhmmara pie - This was the one dish that was just okay - the pepper paste was good, but I was expecting a different kind of carb wrapping - the photos I'd seen look a bit different - this was more of a pita with the pepper spread on it and folded in half. I'd like to try again to see if it's the same thing as the other pictures on yelp or if perhaps the "pie" part of this was just different this particular day. All in all though, this was a solid 5/5. The whole chicken plate was perfect and I'd get it again with the mutabal any day!

I remembered previously ordering a Chicken Shawarma Plate. That is now in the "Specialties" section of the menu and that's what I ordered expecting to get the same plate of delicious chicken, rice, salad and hummus. I was shocked that this $20 "Specialty" consisted of a dry chicken wrap, french fries, some sort of yogurt dip and AWFUL, salty pickled vegetables. The fries were good but you don't go to a specialty Mediterranean place to get fries with a meal described as a plate. Apparently, you can no longer get a true plate of chicken shawarma with rice here. I do plan to return again some day and try the Kofta Kebab or Mixed Grill Plate from the "Entree" section since these still come with rice but everyone should be avoiding the "Specialties" plates as these are poorly executed and severely overpriced. Regardless of what you are ordering, I would highly recommend calling in your order to confirm exactly what you are going to get with your order since the online menus have no details whatsoever.

If "Lamb Ki-ideh" isn't its official name yet, they need to update the menu immediately because this dish is the key idea of a perfect meal. The Salad Shirazi: Crisp, tangy, and genuinely out of this eprld (and this world, too).

I've been going to El Basha for over three decades. They have expanded to many locations now, but…read morethe Belmont Street location is still my favorite. The space had a huge upgrade over the years, but it's still a warm, family-run restaurant with great service and delicious food. The menu is extensive, but there are a few dishes I keep coming back to. The fassoulia is comforting and flavorful, the falafel is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, and the chicken port saiid (sautéed with mushrooms in a bright garlic lemon sauce) is a standout. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared; it has that homestyle touch you don't find elsewhere. Then there is the dessert... the pistachio baklava is truly something special. Knowing it's still made by the family's matriarch makes it even better, and you can taste the tradition in every bite. If you're looking for authentic, consistently great, Lebanese food with a personal touch, El Basha is a staple that never disappoints.
