We were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed our meals here. My husband had jasmines favorite with the chicken tawook and I had the beef kabob platter with the brown rice with almonds. Both were great. The portions were smaller than the pictures on Unilocal suggest, but it was definitely enough to fill us. Only a couple minor things that would have made this better. First, the food was a bit cold when it was brought out. Mine was ok(not great) but my husband sent his back to be warmed up which is very unusual for him. Second, we were both on the fence about trying a dessert and were going to ask about them but the waitress walked by and dropped our check off and kept walking without even asking if we wanted anything else. That made the decision for us since we didn’t feel like waiting to flag her down so we left with no dessert. The cakes looked delicious though… maybe next time!

We’ve been eating at Aladdins since the late 90’s. Lately they have changed the portion sizes and there’s significantly less chicken salad on a salad. We asked for a little more and were told we had to order a side for $ 3. The manager said there’s just nothing she can do. What a disappointment. They’ve gone steadily downhill in both customer service and quality. Won’t be going back.

Only thing that kept this place getting 5 stars is when I went in to pick up my to go order, the two at register annoyed the shit out of me. Stop the conversation and great your paying customer. I could care less about the color of the key band and how she hates purple. Customer service is everything doesn’t matter how good food is. Get it together! First time ever eating at Aladdin’s. Best hummus I ever have had! Tried grape leaves appetizer and was surprised how much I liked them.

Ordered for some co workers and I yesterday. Was my first visit. Busy at lunch but that’s too be expected. The falafels are out of this world! Now Fridays are falafel Fridays!

There are few select items that I truly love but don’t dare order after seeing the nutritional info. They want you to believe this place is healthy, although it is anything but!!! Don’t believe me? Look up the nutritional menu on their website! Aladdin’s is a wolf in sheep’s clothing… but I do love their smoothies.

Quick and friendly service for lunch. The lamb was perfect which I had Jasmine style atop a seasoned bed of rice and chick pea mix. Very gluten friendly.

As a vegan visiting Parma, Ohio from New York, I had very low expectations for any food I could eat here. And well, I was blown away by Aladdins. The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm and casual, beautifully decorated. The music is on point, too. Our waitress(Katie?) was adorable and very accommodating. The menu specifically listed all vegan options, which I greatly appreciated. I wound up getting the lentil chilli and the falafel wrap. They were delicious! Everyone else at the table was happy with their food, too. There were even vegan dessert options(I had the blueberry spice bar… YUM). We left a good tip and walked out very happy customers. I will be returning next time I’m in Ohio!

Just ok, the food was good just not what I expected. Nothing bad to report, nothing exciting to write about. Hummus was good with the house made hot sauce.

Yes oh yes. My favorite place to eat in all of Ohio. All the Aladdin eateries are fantastic. Gorgeous wait staff and healthy food along with fantastic mango smoothies and babaganoush, chicken wraps, pizzas, there is nothing better to do so go go go. You won’t regret it.

This Aladdin’s is pretty large and they even have a patio, albeit it on the sidewalk of a shopping center facing the parking lot. I’ve been to many Aladdin’s all around town and the food here was consistent to all those experiences. Cooked well. Cooked fast. Great flavors! Our server was friendly and actually did a really good job offering things to us. After we ordered our dinners, he asked if we wanted hummus first. When we said sure he then offered fresh cut vegetables to dip and listed all those that we could pick from. I’ve never noticed that on the menu, but you can pick really anything you want from radishes to cucumbers to carrots.

Amazing food!!! The owner and staff are great! You get large portion for a great price! The service was great! I love the Quinoa salad and my vegetation chili is great! I absolutely love this resturant! Remember large portion at a great price! Yummy! The seasonings melt in your mouth! Ask for the signature hot sauce! So delicious! Bring your family for a great meal! You won’t be disappointed! The lamb and rice is so good!

Overall a good meal, however I have had better Shwarma at other restaurants. Hummus was tasty and accommodated our group of 10. Deserts looked wonderful although didn’t have room to try any.

I have been to Alladins many times before and have been very pleased with their fatoosh, grape leaves, hummus and falafel. However I wanted to try something new this time and I went for the Jasmines favorite. It came out and was not even hot at all, and just by looking at it you could see how dried everything was. I was very dissapointed in this and told the waitress, she seemed to have an attitude after this. They brought out the same dish which just seemed to be heated up to steaming hot and still pretty dry. The person I was with also had jasmines favorite with the tuna and their meal was also very dry. I don’t understand why they don’t use oil or water when they cook these dishes. Its very terrible when served like this and I won’t be getting this dish again. I hope the chef will see this and change the way they make these dishes so people don’t choke on their food!

I stopped here on a last minute sort of thing for takeout. The time was quick 10 – 15 minutes. We had sfiha, not at all traditional but very good. It’s a meat pie made out of a carefully folded pita, garnished with green onion and cheddar. My friend a Kefta wrap that he liked, their Kefta is good, a cinnamon taste to it very pleasant. I had tabbouleh, very good but too watery. And they gave us these napkins, I was like so impressed lol, kinda like a thicker viva paper towel. Great quality. I usually choose to eat in bc i like the atmosphere and the wine. There cheese cakes are good too.

It was a snowy evening and I need something warm and spicy to keep me warm! This place was an excellent choice. I had the Mediterranean lamb along with a Lebanese beer. The lamb was cooked perfect, spiced up excellent and the right portion. The rice was a bit dry, but tasted fine with the roasted nuts. The dipping sauce provided with the meal was good as well, and so was the bread. I recommend getting their spicy sauce if you like to spice up the bread. Overall it was a good experience, and I didn’t feel like stuffed hog after dinner.

I used to love Aladdin’s but unfortunately they’ve decided that it’s easier to buy pre-made frozen food instead of make it themselves. Every time I’ve had faffel or kibbie it’s been frozen inside and the hummus tastes exactly like the stuff you can buy at an Arabic/Middle Eastern store. As someone who is Egyptian I’m truly disappointed in how Aladdin’s represents middle eastern cuisine. It’s upsetting. Additionally, the service hasn’t been very good at either the Crocker Park or Lakewood locations. Last time I went to the Lakewood location the hostess bent over and showed everyone her bottom — that’s how short her«dress» was — it put everyone off their meal and tables were glaring, horrified. Plus, the prices are outrageous and they continue to go up each time I go there. I’ve talked to other friends and family and they all agree — save your money!
