Aladdin’s Eatery

I generally like Aladdin’s, but this particular location is by far the worst. The last two times I ate there, the service was unbelievably slow. The ironic thing is there are always a bunch of servers on staff with very few customers. Specifically, this last time, my friend and I were the only two people in the restaurant. We ordered rolled pitas. I saw one takeout order come in. From anywhere in the dining room, you can see the servers standing in the kitchen talking and not paying attention to the customers or to the food coming up. I had to go get my water myself. My cake tasted as if it had been in the dessert case for about a week. I will not recommend this location to anyone.

We ordered take out for seven people and they had it ready in 25 minutes. Order was correct and on time. Highly recommend and very delicious.

For quick food you can’t beat it. Try the Baba Gannouj instead of the Hummus. If your not sure what to get, try the Aladdin’s Favorite Combo which gives you Beef Kafta, Shish Kabob, and Shish Tawook on a bed of seasoned brown rice and a small salad, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and choice of dressing. Ask for both the cucumber and garlic sauces on the side for your meat.

A consistently good place to go for authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food. Always, always dependable. Every single person we came in contact with was friendly and helpful. Keeps us coming back over and over again.

Unfortunately, I can’t say I’ve ever had a great experience at this Aladdin’s location. I’ve been going to the Hudson and Akron locations for years, but whenever I go to the chagrin location the service is not great and the food tastes different. The hummus last time I went it was much thicker and had less flavor than other aladdins locations. The hot sauce also tastes different. The servers are usually young high school boys that seem nervous and don’t seem very experienced as a server. The last time we were there, it didn’t really seem like anyone knew what was going on. Server A said she’ll be right with us, we waited a while then Server B came over to take our drink order, we ordered from Server B, then Server C came over and asked for our drink order, we told her we already ordered. Server A then came back almost 10 mins later and asked for our drink order. When we told her Server B already took our drink order a while ago, Server A said «no! I’m taking the drink order» and made us order our drinks from her again! We finally got our drinks but it was a really uncomfortable and weird experience. Overall, I like the other Aladdin’s locations better for both food and service.

A great middle eastern place to eat, fast and friendly service. Greek Salad and Fattoush Salad are great! The desserts are amazing. Love this place.

I like the Aladdin’s Eatery chain. It’s clean tasting food with lots of options and reasonably priced.
The turkey salad, as plain as it sounds is actually quite good. I get it with the Aladdin’s House Dressing instead (light on the dressing) and I ask for a side of their garlic sauce, which is VERY garlicky to add a little more flavor and kick.
Their hummus is very smooth and creamy, slightly thinner than you’d expect. It’s well flavored and while slightly higher price point for an appetizer both the small and large options are hearty portions. The small can easily be shared by 4 – 5 people.
The pita is rather mediocre. It’s thin, dry and while warm when it comes out, it stiffens quickly when it cools.
The service here was really good today. Andrew was great with our large group. He was patient, helpful and made sure we were doing great.

Always one of my go-to’s! Menu is extensive, delicious, and well priced. Staff is very friendly. You can’t go wrong with this place!

Alladins is a go-​to eatery for my husband and I. Nice vegetarian selections. This is a chain, at least in Columbus and Cleveland, and I have found consistent quality food across the locations. Reasonable prices, except the baklava which is so expensive!

One of many similar Aladdin’s restaurants in the Cleveland area.
This well known regional chain offers consistent good service and high quality food. While my middle eastern friends do not find it authentic, I am not as good a judge of this. They appeal to a more standard American palate by offering middle eastern style pizzas that are a local favorite.
Good option for informal gathering of friends or family.

I am not sure how I missed Aladdin’s searching for places to eat as my mom and I make a yearly day-​trip to this part of Cleveland, but I am glad to find it this year. My mom (a vegetarian) and I love middle eastern/​Mediterranean food and where she lives, there is not a lot.
We stopped in as soon as we got into town and were the first patrons for the day. Service was a little slow to start, but the rest of the time was better. The restaurant is well appointed and comfortable and there was quite a crowd once it got closer to noon. Very large menu with a considerable amount of vegetarian items (also notated what is vegan and gluten free).
We both had the brewed black iced tea and it was very tasty. It was a cool day, so my mom started with the Lentil soup which had swiss chard, potatoes, and other veggies. She was impressed by the size of the bowl and the taste (as was I when I sampled). Not salty and very fresh. She devoured it. I ordered a side salad with my main course and it was a large pile of a fresh variety of greens, tomatoes, onions, with cheese and dressing. It was almost too much for the salad plate it was on. I could have used some more of the house Aladdin’s dressing too or would have probably asked for it on the side to spread more evenly the next time. It wasn’t anything fancy, more of an oil and vinegar mix.
My mom got the Falafel Salad which was a large plate of similar greens and 4 very large falafels. They were very tasty and well seasoned. Not greasy or over-​fried. She does not normally like straight Tahini, but went with the Tahini yogurt dressing that was provided and she liked it, but said it wasn’t enough by the time she got towards the end of her meal for all the falafel and the salad.
I got the Shish Kabob rolled pita. It was sort of strange to see it rolled in a metallic wrapper like street food while my mom’s food and other diners were more ‘formal’, but not a huge deal. It was warmed up well which was nice and the pita wrap was tasty. The beef inside was perfectly cooked and melted in in my mouth. I would have like a little more meat, but what was there was great. It was tasty and good for the price.
We would definitely come back and try again. Happy with the meal for the price and atmosphere. Please come to Jamestown, NY and make my mom happy. :)

Don’t go there after 2pm Service is slow. Offered lunch special and when we ordered it, came back to say special ended at 2. We changed our order, but were still charged full price for our drinks that had been included in the special. Never were asked for drink refills. Took a long time to bring sugar to the table for our iced teas. No pita bread was brought to the table. Our food orders were brought our promptly, but after that, we were ignored. Kind of hard to do when only two other tables were occupied. Usually love going here, but may avoid this location.

Love this one as much as the one in Cleveland Heights. Not as busy and often they have help issues. Good consistent food.

We’re new to the neighborhood and got takeout and were very impressed. We got a chicken shower a roll that was very tasty and fresh. The hummus was a large order and very good. The «pitza» we got was a bit I a stretch, but it was amazing. Pita base, hummus and a delicious combination of ground meat and tomatoes. Te manager Danielle was very sweet and gave us some pastries as we’re new to the neighborhood. We’ll definitely be back!

Overall the restaurant was good. But I wouldn’t say GREAT! The hummus was amazing though, especially if you added the spicy sauce on the side. Their house red wine was pretty good as well. I would definitly go again

Never disappointed at this Aladdins. Food is always good, friendly service. We always try something new when we go and we are never disappointed!

Excellent food. Never disappoints. And they serve beer and wine which makes it all the better. If you like to try something different, GO. Vegan friendly as well.

Exceptional food! We love the hummus and ALL of the _​_​_​_​_​_​_​rolled (especially the lamb rolled!) I don’t believe we have ever had a meal that was anything short of amazing!
