A place that squirrels would love, a small shop full of nuts! It has the usual collection of nuts: almonds, cashews, peanuts, mixed nuts, a few candies. There are some flavored nuts like smoked almonds. I was hoping to find some flavored nuts that were unique to this store. But didn't see anything that was telling me - this is a nut of a different flavor. There are prepackaged gift sets or you can order a custom gift mix. Parking seems to be either along Washington Blvd or in the nearby neighborhood. read more

Needed a giveaway gift and stumbled upon this neighborhood delight that has been in the community for over 20 years. The vast selection of quality nuts and fruits was impressive. All roasted and prepared right in the store. Pistachios, Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews, Chickpeas, Raw nuts, mixed nuts, dried fruit, etc... I personally asked for a gift basket that the owner carefully prepared according to the specialty of the house. It is rare nowadays to have local specialty shops thrive in today's economy and ever changing trends. But, Aladdin's Nut House is still thriving because they offer high quality products that is fresh and tasty. So highly recommend you visit this fine establishment because your patronage is what keeps treasures like this continue to exist!!!! Also nuts are an excellent source of protein read more

I was craving some Turkish delights candy, and found this place on Yelp and bookmarked it. Since I was in Pasadena running errands, I decided to make a stop by here. The shop is small, but charming! Brightly lit with lots of yummy products lined up on the walls and throughout the shop: Dried fruits, roasted nuts, seasonings, buckets of nuts and what I call Turkish delights, but it's called Mediterranean Delights here. I was hoping for the pretty, extravagant ones I saw on the Yelp pictures, but they only had some pre packaged ones in bins. I like that they're in a sealed wrap so they last longer. There are a lot of packaged snack items that would make great gifts. Since I am nuts for nuts, I had to give these roasted treats behind the counter a try. The proprietor there was super friendly and let me try some pistachios before I bought them. There were so many flavor options I had trouble narrowing down what I wanted. I settled on lemon pistachios and sesame peanuts in addition to a few of the Mediterranean delights. The nuts are flavorful and tasted fresh and crunchy. The candies were pretty good also. All the loose items are sold by the pound and prices are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend this shop if you're looking for some fun flavored snacks! read more

This is the place to go for freshly roasted nuts, spices and middle eastern delicacies. No pre packaged imported nuts. They roast small batches on premises and prices are very good. The owner is always helpful and appreciates return customers. read more

Always friendly and tasty. Consistently better than store bought nuts. Recommend if you are in the area.

I have been coming here for many years. The quality is always excellant and they have a large and fresh selection

3 weeks ago, I've purchased 3 kinds of nuts. However, next day, I opened the package and ate a few, it was not fresh, so, I've thrown a $15 package into the trash bean. So, When you enter there to purchase nuts, demand a sampler to taste it before buying it. Thanks. read more

One of my husband's colleagues gave us a bag of mixed nuts and it was fresh and delicious.

You'd have to be nuts *not* to love Aladdin Nut House. It's a gem. I visited for the first time on Small Business Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at the variety and high quality of the nuts and spices offered here. I asked for a specific type of gift basket and they were able to accommodate me quickly (see my picture of the all-pistachio basket.) I loved the holiday touch on the decoration; just perfect. I also sampled some of the candies and adore the pomegranate pistachio. Service was extremely helpful and prices were certainly reasonable given the high quality. Street parking. read more

Always excellent service & the best nuts ever & also they sell wonderful Armenian & middle eastern spices everything is excellent quality we've been shopping from this place the last 40 years owner is extremely professional & helpful read more

Meh. Roasted flavor did seem freshly done. Nuts seemed okay to poor quality (tastes fresher at Whole Foods etc). Fyi, their roasted nuts aren't salted (they just say "roasted" but I assumed they'd be salted. Yes I was an idiot for not asking). Yuck for snacking (they have "salted" nuts, but none I saw labeled as roasted). Have no idea why there's no roasted & salted nuts on display. I feel that's what most Americans people want, unless it's a regional preference. Regretted the $10 read more

Just a simple review for a simple store. They carry a variety of nuts and Mediterranean treats in a small shop. I got a box of Turkish delights from the kindly shopkeep and that was it. Just here to support a local small business. read more

So being Middle Eastern, we pretty much know who has the best roasted nuts. I came from Beirut back in 87, and we had some of the best roasting houses there. But when we came to the US, it's kind of difficult to find a place that can produce such fresh roasted nuts. I actually stopped by the Aladdin nuthouse yesterday on my way home. I searched for a nut house and luckily I found this place. I bought a couple of pounds of fancy nuts and to my surprise it was probably some of the freshest I've ever experienced. The price is reasonable and the gentleman behind the counter truly knows his business. This is going to be my weekly stomping ground. read more

Upon my Middle Eastern Bakery mission, I ran into Aladdin Nuthouse. I definitely had to stop in... I do love my nuts! I was immediately greeted by the smell of fresh roasted nuts and a man at the register who I later found out was the owner, Gary. This store is a dream come true for a nut lover like me. They roast their own nuts everyday. Ranging from different kinds of peanuts to cashews, hazelnuts, many kinds of pistachios, almonds, and anything else you could imagine. These are sold by the pound. This is just the base of what Aladdin Nut House has to offer. They sell a lot of Middle Eastern delicacies which include lots of different tasty products containing pistachio and products directly from places such as Syria. Aladdin Nut House also offers gift baskets and boxes. These beautifully hand crafted baskets can be fill with products of your liking. One of my favorite products is the "Healthy Mix" which is a mix of raw nuts, seeds, and dried berries. I really can't find this at this price anywhere else! Overall, I really enjoyed the selection of products and the very affordable prices. The store is very neat, organized, and clean and Gary is very knowledgeable about his products. Awesome customer service and tasty nuts, what more could I ask for? read more

There are also a variety of dried fruits and other middle eastern sweets. My go to is the loukhoum. I just found out they are launching a new website that will let me order online and deliver to the house...thank god these snacks are healthy!! Happy eating.... read more

Aladdin Nut House - Mixed nuts!!!!! - Grocery Near Me - Pasadena, California

"...pistachio-nougat rolls that should be sold at the pharmacy because they're so addictive." I love Aladdin Nut House. It's a tiny dive in a nearly forgotten strip of Pasadena in an area where the blabbing of time seemed to stutter with development. You'll see the best mix from the 60's, 70's and 80's all mixing their humble shops while waiting for their trickle of regulars to jingle their hanging door bell. I think that I've jingled their bell off the hook. But the use of the word "nuthouse" implies one of 3 things: 1) That the owner truly DOESN'T understand the dark humor of using a word reserved for psychiatric wards. 2) That the owner DOES understand the dark humor of using a word reserved for psychiatric wards. 3) That the owner COULD CARE LESS and simply calls it like they see it. Frankly, any of those reasons are a good sign. They are either new immigrants filled with their cultural expertise, multi-generational with a sense of humor, or uber-serious about a house filled with nuts. And, we're not just talking about a jar of almonds here and a box of walnuts there. We're talking about wall-to-wall nuts whereby you're left wondering if indeed the shop is actually constructed from nuts. And, I might add, their pistachio-nougat rolls should be sold at the pharmacy because they're so addictive. Unfortunately, I no longer find it embarrassing to stroll in, grab and pay for a handful of nougats, tell them I'm a teacher buying supplies for the kids, then walk out with half of them stuffed in my mouth. Anyone with a shop called a "Nuthouse" understands. And no, I'm not a teacher. read more

Neat little nuthouse. I've given the nuts as a gift to my friends and family. They all enjoy them. The nuts taste freshly roasted. My personal favorite flavors are the barbeque almond, spicy peanut, crunchy peanut, and roasted corn! read more

Friend from work told me about this place. Great selection, fresh and tasty nuts, nice blends or make your own. Can't say enough about this place. read more

The best (quality-made) pistachio nougat candies. If you have a sweet tooth, they're all you need in life :)

This is not a negative review of the business; I would like to consider it more informative for those going there for the 1st time. The business is small. They have a selection of dried nuts comparable to what you would find at Sprouts or Whole Foods for example. In addition to the nuts they have some ground spices. They do have some nuggets (goey candy) that seem to made with exotic flavors. The prices are comparable to again, Whole Foods. I would think that maybe office workers in the area frequent this place to purchase healthy snacks. read more

Get the salt roasted hazelnuts, sesame peanuts, and their pistachio nougats! They know how to pick the nuts they use because each one I got was bigger than your average grocery market peanut or hazelnut. They also have wonderful selections of gift baskets! read more

Very friendly owner and great selection of different nuts and seeds. The quality was stellar and I know I have my go-to now for any mixed nuts needs! read more

Stumbled in here while getting mar car serviced across the street and I must say this place is awesome I love nuts and they have a delicious selection will definitely be back read more

Aladdin has the best selection freshly roasted nuts, especially, the different kinds of pistachios. Gary is very friendly and extremely helpful. It's definitely worth the drive. read more

definitely the best nut store i've ever been to. Everything is fresh, and the selection is massive. The owners here are great, and if you have any special requests for nuts that they do not have in stock, they will do their very best to get some for you. Its the best! Aladdin Nut House has been supplying my household with high quality nuts for quite some time now. read more

Aladdin Nuts is by far the best tasting nuts around! Not only are they freshly roasted, the prices are very competitive. And, unlike buying mixed nuts from large retail stores (that have been on the shelves for who knows how long), here you have the advantage of customizing your selection. Give it a try and enjoy! read more

There's a fair selection of nuts and it's nice to see dried lemons, but the customer service is lousy. The guy can barely summon the enthusiasm to even grunt at customers and you get the distinct impression that he's annoyed at you interrupting the soccer game. Unlikely to return. read more

Really nice fresh nuts with great prices. I absolutely love the Persian pistachio and the lemon salted pistachio. The nuts are far more fresh than what you will get at the grocery store and we only buy our nuts from here since discovering the place. read more

Nuts. I never knew how good roasted nuts could taste without salt until I tried the varieties available here. Don't misunderstand. There are salted varieties! But the roasting done here really does bring out the natural flavors. It's impossible to walk out with just one bag !!! Perfect for snacking, baking and even gift giving. I originally stumbled upon them online as I was looking for an alternative to the glossy magazine companies that sell fruit and nut boxes. Everyone we sent a gift assortment to raved, including my own family. Now here's the thing....the owner, seeing my online order contacted me to ask if I really wanted to ship my personal order or if I wanted to just come by and pick it up! When I realized they were local, I had to stop by!!!! How considerate was that!?! This is why I love small mom and pop businesses! It is all about the nuts here, and the product speaks for itself. I am now a regular customer. I love stopping by to grab a fresh bag before a game, just before guests arrive or just because. The owner will also package your nuts in gift boxes upon request in store too and of course they ship! read more

For years we have driven 20+ miles to this place only to get their deluxe mixed nuts. Always freshly roasted and yummy good. Our guests like it when we serve it with drinks, trust me it's healthier than chips. Now we are taking some to our friends in Denver. Since it's close to their closing time I called them and asked them to wait for us. They did. I'd rather have the service than the fake smile. Basically if you know "nuts" you'll like this place even if the owner does not smile ;-) read more

So called Persian Pistacios were nothing like the Persian, Turkish or Greek Pistacios that I had in Europe. I suspect they sent me California Pistacios. Not only that, they were stale. Buyer beware. read more

You can count on fresh nuts any day of the week. We always get our nuts from them. He also has the best Armenian coffee in town.

If you like fresh nuts this is the place to go. The selection is great and The quality is just awesome. Once you eat theses freshly roasted nuts you would have a hard Time to buy packaged ones. The only knock on this place is parking. read more
