I've been to California, New York, Oregon, Arizona. Never tasted such good Mediterranean food. Don't let the location or outside discourage you: this place is outstanding.

The bad = the counter staff. One young girl was one her first day, super polite and lovey. We applaud her effort. The other was rude to many customers and outright told one, she didn't want to be there. They were confused with orders and forgot to bring our appetizer even when we asked twice for it. The ugly = it was dirty. Bathrooms, floors and tables. Our suggestion, get takeout only. Then the service and dirty elements of this place won't affect you!

My first time there, a woman was on the fence between two items so the friendly man working the counter said he could do half/half, all for the same price. I really appreciate that, and kind of wish I'd done that, since there are so many yummy-sounding things I want to try out. So far, I've had a lamb kabob over rice and the meat kibbee sandwich on two separate lunch occasions. I got hummus as my side, which is wonderful because they basically let you have unlimited pita. It's a little dangerous, since I definitely don't need that many carbs, but it's free and right there in a basket for the taking, individually plastic-wrapped. I love it. Their hummus is solid. The over rice options are definitely heavier than the sandwiches, but I think flavorwise, I liked the meat kibbee a little more. Kibbee is made of bulgur, minced onions, and finely ground meat with Middle Eastern spices. I think this was ground beef, but I can't remember. I'm definitely glad I added this to my lunch rotation, and will be back to try the rest of their menu. My coworkers also got their lunch here and were happy with what they got. They also have ample vegetarian options, if you want to avoid meat.

Aladdin's express location is a personal lunch time favorite. I typically call it in and they often…read moredeliver it to my office without hesitation! I often get the fattoush with chicken and what impressed me original was that I could request no tomatoes on my salad. This may sound odd however most middle eastern restaurants make fattoush salads by the sheet pan because it's a hot item and you can't make substitutions. The fact that I can, shows that each salad is freshly made!

When we went to this new restaurant just off of MSU campus I had my reservations. But let me tell you, it has consistently been one of the best experiences I have known. First, the place is beautiful. Very clean, bright and welcoming. if you're a guy like me, you don't know what's gonna taste good. Each and every time I visited the staff takes as much time as you need to explain what goes into each dish, how to make it better and make you feel like this dish is being made for you. It might be a little more than you would think you'd like to pay, but every bit of it is fresh. And that's worth a lot in this day and age. So if you're on the fence, try this out. Even better, out of the seven times I have been here, a manager has walked up to our table and asked us how our food was. That is a lost art. And it's very well appreciated. Outstanding.
