Each time we have gone, our waiter/waitress disappears for long periods of time (30+ min), and we have to stop them to ask for another order of drinks, our checks, etc. If the staff are trained to check in a little more frequently and not keep guests waiting, this would easily be 5 stars.

Got the salad bowl both times with hummus and basically loaded it up with everything, and it just works no matter what combo you put together. Tried the chicken on one visit and the brisket on the other, both were fabulous. Fair warning though, the brisket is subject to availability, so don't count on it being there every time. Do yourself a favor and order the fries at least once even if you're trying to be good. They complement the bowl perfectly, and throwing a few fries right into the salad is genuinely a great move. Also have to mention the beer selection. Good local options and reasonably priced, which is a nice touch alongside the food. This place earns the trip back any time I'm in the area.

It wasn't overly rich or heavy like some chocolate desserts can be, which made it perfect after dinner. I also enjoyed Jasmine's favorite topped with Lebanese Salata. It very filling and fresh. The service was also great. Our waitress was really kind, and the manager even came over to check on us, which I always appreciate. The restaurant itself had a nice, clean atmosphere and felt comfortable to sit and chat for a while. We split a regular hummus as an appetizer, and it was honestly the perfect size for three people to share before our meals. The only small downside was that the food came out a little slowly, so it might not be the best place if you're in a rush. Otherwise, it was a really enjoyable experience.

Recently renovated location!…read more Aladdin's Eatery is a located in a historic and charming Cedar Fairmount neighborhood (with many buildings constructed in the 1920's)! This Aladdin's was recently renovated, contains updated lighting fixtures, decor (like mosaics on the wall), and furniture. It looks much more trendy. Food order options: You can order Aladdin's to go/pick-up, order via food order apps, or dine in. If you're pickup up and ordering online, it will save you a few bucks placing an order on Aladdin's website and not other apps (like Uber Eats or DoorDash). Food: This location has a traditional Aladdin's menu. The food has recently improved. Most of the dishes used to be very dry (such as Mediterranean Lamb Plate). Lately, the main dishes improved tremendously and became more flavorful. My latest order comprised of Taza Chicken Salad ($14.75) and Sally's Favorite Bowl ($9.95). Both dishes had generous servings, were flavorful, and not dry. These dishes were very good value! I also ordered dessert - Tiramisu. I used to love desserts from Aladdin's. The latest dessert was a miss. I think that this location stopped working with their previous baking partner. Nonetheless, there are various options for cheesecakes, baklava, and other tasty treats. Service is always pleasant and quick whether you're dining in or ordering to go meal. Parking is available at the back of the store - small lot. There are also street parking options. Review signs on the street to ensure you don't get a parking violation. I recommend this location for a casual eatery option. Also, if you enjoy a stroll and dinner, this is a perfect destination. You can check other restaurants in the area for cocktails or beers. Check Cedar Fairmount website or Facebook to get ideas about other restaurants in the area.

After spending time at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, came here for a late lunch. We found…read moreparking in front of the beautiful Presbyterian Church of the Covenant. A quick pay for parking and a short walk to the corner. My aunt is complete Lebanese (I'm only 1/2) so was interested in her feedback too. :-). We ordered two of the business lunch specials. Lamb patty, kafta, chicken shawarma, and falafel; served with salad, pita bread, and cinnamon rice pilaf. It was a good price and a chance to try a few of their options. When it first arrived to the table, I was surprised there was no pita. Then she delivered two large pita that were nice and warm. Perfect for the dish!! The lamb was tender and had good flavor. The chicken shawarma was also tender and spiced nicely. The kafta was good as was the falafel. The rice was delicious and reminded us of our family's rice flavor. The salad dressing was perfect and there was extra to sop up with the pita ! They gave us a hot sauce and a garlic sauce to try. They were both very nice! This is a simple place. Get your own beverage, put your dishes on the tray. They were keeping the tables clean. There was a nice picture of family and the matriarch "Sittoo" on the wall. My unapproved and enjoyed ! We also had two baklava rolls. They were tasty. Definitely recommend. Just know parking might be a challenge if you're not in the area.
