Aladdin’s Eatery

Strawberry smoothies are awesome. Perfect sweetness to it with the honey in it. The veggie chili and V-​9 soup are tasty as well. The hummus is good with fresh parsley and oil drizzled on top.

I went here when I was in town for Thanksgiving, but have been going to an Aladdin’s for YEARS. There used to be one in Chicago down the street from where I lived, but sadly they closed, so I must come back to Cle for an Aladdin’s fix.
My favorites: Aladdin’s salad, Veggie combo appetizer (hummus, baba gannouj, tabouli, falafel and dawali) and the spicy kafta rolled pita.
The hummus really is delicious — they give you plenty of pita bread with it. Also, try their hot sauce! I used it on salad, falafel, basically anything.
Love this restaurant!

This was my family’s first time here. Great service and great food! We tried their hummus and pita bread, which was fantastic! They have a very large menu! Lots of choices. Good for vegetarian and vegan. I tried the fsiha pita which was spiced beef… Awesome. My wife has the jasmine rice and chicken. The chicken was very tender and tasty. Their hot sauce and tahini yogurt are good too. We will be back!

Friendly and fast service! I needed to be in and out in 30 minutes and managed it without feeling rushed.
Received pita bread with my meal, but no hummus. That’s okay, I was pleased with the complimentary pita bread.

Great atmosphere and wonderful fresh food. Barbara was a personable and knowledgeable server. We will be back for more terrific Mediterranean food!

Excellent food and service! I got the shish kebab platter and it was delicious, the beef was so medium rare it melted in your mouth! The garlic sauce was amazing! The desert cabinet was nearly pornographic! Five or six different cheesecakes, the same selection for regular cakes, and other selections like truffles, tiramisu, blueberry bars, etc.
The menu boasts a raw juice selection, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc!
I wish we had one of these back home!
My only complaint is that the atmosphere was a bit McDonald’s like when the food deserved better ! I wish it was a little more cozy!

Great food great service and the best humous I’ve had. I also enjoy their chicken salad

Overall my family was pleased. My wife and kids have food allergies… gluten and corn. Way to go on having dishes that address such allergies! The only issue was that the quinoa needs to be rinsed several times to keep the bitterness down before it is cooked. I will seek a return visit next time I pass through Mentor!

I love their food! I just went there for pickup and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The lady was really nice. She was patient with me while I looked through the menu. It took my awhile because I had a cranky three yr old with me. The food was hot and fresh. They had a really good selection of made-​on-​site desserts.
I ordered the chicken curry pita wrap add it was made perfectly! My son had the chicken cheese pita pitza and my husband has the chicken Dijon pita wrap. All of it was fresh, hot, and quickly made.

Great free range chicken, gluten free, fresh, fantastic food. Baba gnoush (I’m sure I spelled that Wrong) was yummy. Garlic sauce yummy, shishkabob yummy… if you love Mediterranean… you must come here

Went again to Aladdins. Great food but the server must have been new. He was sweating bullets and forgetting everything we asked for. He was very nice and we felt bad but most of our orders got screwed up.

Amazing! What a find in Mentor, OH!!! I live in CA and would expect a place this authentic, fresh and healthy there, but it was such a refreshing find on a quick visit to OH. Every single item was yummy. We went for lunch with a group of 8, and there was not one item left on any of the plates at the end of our meal.
Is Aladdin coming to Cali?

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded, was seated right away. The hostess was friendly. Server was nice. The chicken chili was excellent and falafel appetizer was very good. We shared a chicken sambusek that was really good too. It was $ 28.52 for two people.

The food here is fabulous! Very tasty and filling. Came here for lunch, it wasn’t crowded, server was nice, hostess was nice

Healthy, yummy dishes with lots of options. Based on the Unilocal reviews I popped in for a light meal. Since this was my first visit, I asked my friendly server for suggestions for a light meal — that would include their much touted hummus and hot sauce. She suggested the salad pita bowl with the hummus and hot sauce on the side. I took her up on the suggestion and was glad I did. I selected the tahini dressing for my salad bowl in keeping with the middle eastern flair.
My plate arrived quickly with a thin pita pocket opened like a bowl — over flowing with fresh greens, cucumber, tomatoes and other goodies. A side plate was filled with hummus and the hot sauce can in a small plastic container. YUM.
Delicious light dinner with a kick.
When the server explained that the desserts were made by company that is owned by the restaurant I couldn’t resist trying something special — the baklava. It is delicious. Not as syrupy as I’ve had other place (a plus).
Can’t wait to go back to try one of their grilled meats with the tahini dressing.

Love this place for an inexpensive healthy option when I don’t feel like cooking. The best place to come to if you’re a vegan or vegetarian and looking for options besides the typical salad or frozen veggie burger.
We always start with the hummus and their house made hot sauce… SO good. The pita is endless, but f you’re looking to cut some calories, try the veggies. Always fresh and they give you a nice variety.
We always tend to have a different server when we come here, so I have a feeling there’s a high turnover rate. Even so, we always receive friendly service.

The secret to enjoying Aladdin’s (besides simply making sure that Middle Eastern fast food is your thing) is to understand its limitations.
Mainly, that’s the pitas. Everything is pita (would it kill them to make the spinach-​feta pie with a flaky crust?), and the pita is only so-​so and dry. So make sure to order things that provide plenty of moistness.
If you do that, Aladdin’s is pretty good.

YUMMY! My husband and I always have great, friendly, service at Aladdin’s. The food is consistently delicious; the restaurant is very clean and the staff genuine.
As a vegetarian– I am always pleased with the countless selections of delightful options!

4 stars just for the hummus, veggies, pita and hot sauce! :) everything else is a little pricey, but healthy and lots of regular and vegetarian options.

Review update:
Unfortunately, I have to update this place to a 3 star review. The last two times I went now, slow service and the falafels themselves seemed like they had been sitting out on the counter for quite some time before being microwaved and reserved. They are just not meant to have a rubbery skin on them!
Disappointed, but hopefully this place will redeem itself.
