    Baklava
    Megan K.

    My friend was picking up a pizza here the other night and I went in with her and saw their baklava options and knew I needed to try them. So I did. Absolutely delish, the perfect amount of honey on them.

    We came here for a quick grab and go pizza before touring the Yale campus. If you are in a hurry, this is a great place to go. The pizzas were already made and kept warm, you pick which slice you want. We tried three different flavors of pizza. All were good. We were in a hurry, so we were glad to have found this place for a quick grab and go pizza.

    NICE & FRESH. Very enjoyable meal. Nice flavor. The delivery was earlier than the time it was due, so props to them. Would buy again.

    5 pieces of chicken and a sad salad
    Lauren P.

    I have been going to this place since I was god know how's young. I've grown up going to this place. I was so sad to get my order today. I ordered a chicken platter but I got literally 5 little chunks of chicken , some salad and hummus for $16!! I felt like I shouldn't go to the police cuz I have been robbed

    chicken shawarma pita sandwich

    Most underrated restaurant in New Haven! I used to think this place only sold pizza so had never tried (not a big pizza person) but my friend recently introduced me to their pita sandwiches and dinner plates and WOW! I want to eat there every day. The falafel is the best I've had in recent memory, the sauce in the sandwich I could drink straight up, and the different skewers in the mixed kebab plate were all equally delicious. Also the rice! Wow. Just wow. My friend and I had trouble ranking them, they were all so yummy. Go try for yourself!! :) (Note: the prices on the menu are outdated, the dishes are 1-2$ more, but still well worth it).

    Love this spot for their Middle East delicacies. My husband and I got takeout here last night and they never disappoint. Everything was so fresh, delicious, and portions were great. Service was with a smile and fast; considering we stopped in to order. Only had to wait 20 mins. Highly recommend!

    Lamb shawarma
    Franny F.

    I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. My friend & I ran here after we realize there's nothing interesting on the menu menu of another restaurant nearby that we wanted to spend $20+ on. How does a Mexican restaurant not have enchiladas? Anyway, Aladdin rescued us from dire hunger. We ordered lamb shawarma + fresh tabouleh + falafel. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The guys were patient in explaining the menu and offered great customer service. We enjoyed every bite! Totally recommend this place.

    The food is amazing  Ziad the chef and owner has over 30 years of experience preparing these delicacies. This is a must.

    Aladdin pizza took me and my crew on a magic carpet ride through cheese and pepperoni pizza galor. Ultimate 1am food for post drinks. Definitely try the pepperoni because they cook em so well - crispy and soft. The cheese is phenomenal too. Their service is great too, they handled a group of 15 with ease. Highly recommend this place!!

    YUM YUM! CHICKEN SHAWARMA PIZZA!!! YUM YUM! CHICKEN SHAWARMA PIZZA!!! I truly love this little pizza joint that's located next to Bar, off of Crown St. in New Haven. I'd rather go here than BAR, Pepes, Sally's,Modern, and even Yorkside (yes, I said it Kelly, deal with it!) I LOVE ALADDIN's PIZZA!! Even more so after eating this new specialty chicken shawarma pizza. God, so thankful to live just outside of the greatest pizza dynasty this nation has ever seen! Probably the world, dare I say the entire Universe!!!!!!

    Special Shawarma platter (not in menu)

    I always cone here for the lamb and rice when I'm in Hartford. It's not a NY Halal truck; but, it's still very good.

    It was my first time here. My better half has been here quite a few times in the past, and always…read morespoke highly of it. Mediterranean is not my jive but it seemed like a good spot for a date night. Seemed. We were seated quickly, which was nice. It wasn't what I'd consider busy, but apparently it was busy for them on this particular night of service. Took about 15min from the time we were seated to have our order taken. Better half says it is usually more calming and intimate. Tonight absolutely was not that. It gives... Starbucks, if it served Mediterranean food... like, no coffee. With teacup candles. Real ones. (fire code???) I ordered the wings, with low expectations. Anyone that knows me and my heart also knows how I feel about a good wing. These wings were not that. They came out looking exactly how I anticipated them to based on what I saw in previous reviews (and the item description, which, shockingly, was painfully accurate) -- sad, and beige. First bite revealed various shades of pink, although the skin was seasoned nicely. I'm partial against this style of chicken wing so its hard for me to give it any credit... moving on. I also had the chicken kebab sandwich... which isn't really a sandwich. Its more of a ... gyro? I liked it. The chicken in the sandwich was really nice. Cooked well, definitely cooked better than the wings. Wish the cuts/pieces were smaller though. It was nice and hot, but also kind of wet, I guess from steam? It came wrapped in sort of a parchment paper, that was also wet. And the closer I got to the end, the more liquid dripped out from the bottom. Water mixed with tomato, other spices and whatnot... it wasn't pretty. I got less and less interested as I made progress. Better half got the Merguez Kebab Sandwich/gyro thing. Similar to my Chicken Kebab, the cuts of meat were huge however it was just hard to come to terms with the notion that they were each fully cooked through, and it was also... wet. More wet than my Chicken Kebab. She didn't finish it, and I don't blame her. The hummus was nice. The pita was hot and fresh. You could see some of the char from the skillet it was made in, which was nice. Unfortunate that either are individual at-cost appetizers (although looking at my receipt, I can infer that the first pita was included with the hummus as I was only charged for one and we had two). I don't think I will be returning there on my own volition. Maybe tonight was a bad night, and that happens sometimes. The staff were certainly nice, and considering it was a Saturday evening, the volume of patrons is worth appreciation. It wasn't rowdy, the music was nice, the ceiling fan blades passing over one of the ceiling lights drove me crazy a little bit, but it is a nice place. I'm just a little let down that this was how my Saturday night dinner went. I'm still hungry, dawg. There was also a woman in scrubs(?) or some sort of inpatient-wear that walked past the restaurant outside, locked eyes with the folks at a table, smiled and waved, and slowly meandered away until she came back to walk in the other direction. Not sure what that was about, but its typical New Haven shit. Stranger things have happened, lol! TLDR if you're not super picky/sensitive about your food and you're a big (gotta be big) fan of Mediterranean Fusion food, I absolutely recommend RAWA. Otherwise... hard pass -- for me, at least. Respectfully.

    Unique experience! This restaurant is past the Yale Bowl in a resident area of New Haven we have…read morenever been to. Lots of seating available inside and there's a DJ and belly dancing on some evenings. The food was incredibly flavored and great portions. The pizza was surprisingly packed with chicken and pine nuts. A very interesting and delicious combo we never knew we wanted. Drinks were also a different experience with saffron mixed in. Can't wait to return and this time to catch the after hour scene! Looks like a good time and great for large groups.

The presentation was on point and it looked delish. We decided to have dinner there. The food was amazing, everything was extremely fresh. Our waitress was great. I'm glad we changed our plans.

    happy easter everyone! first time at South Bay for me, my partner's been before…read more let's start with the positives: the food? incredible. no notes. the food runner and busser absolutely carried the experience and were the highlight of our night. now... the service. from the moment we were seated, it went downhill. as the host brought us to our table and introduced us to our server, she muttered "me mata" (spanish for "kill me") under her breath upon seeing us in her section. not exactly a warm welcome. little did she know i am trilingual in Portuguese and Spanish! throughout the night, she'd walk by, throw out a question, and keep moving without waiting for an answer or actually checking in. then, when it was time to order our mains, my partner placed her order and the server literally laughed while her facetime call was on speaker in her pocket. she giggled and made the whole interaction uncomfortable and honestly just unprofessional, and before anyone says "maybe they were busy" they weren't. there were fewer than 20 covers the entire time we were there. meanwhile, she had no problem giving attentive service to her other tables. so yes, no tip. actions have consequences. all that said, we loved the food, the music, and we didn't let her attitude ruin our night. just unfortunate that such a great spot is let down by service like that.
