Mixed shawarma bowl
Jack D.

Yes I like it. No I don't know what those spices are that make me like it. And I don't need to know to enjoy it. Since the Pho spot was closed, walked over here and enjoyed good hospitality and a nice lunch. Order at the counter. They bring it to you. Inhale. Enjoy.

Shawarma and cucumber sauce.
Sharon D.

I was heading to another spot that happened to be closed so my friend suggested we try Aladdin's. I'm so glad she did. The food reminded me of my trips to Istanbul. The food was delicious and authentic. It was not Americanized Mediterranean. The spices were Smokey and unique. I had the chicken shawarma with fries and the cucumber sauce. Best I've had since Turkey. We also split the appetizer platter and I thought the falafel was outstanding and worth a standing ovation. The texture was moist and flavorful. I had to grab some more to go! This is a great spot. Quiet and you can have nice conversations there. The service was attentive and the ambiance was nice for families or quiet dinner.

Checking out the Chicken Shawarma
Shawna B.

I went to Aladdin's today to try the viral chicken shawarma wrap. I had no idea what restaurants serve this in Greensboro until I saw a video on tick tock doing a food review on Aladdin's. On Sundays they open at 12 noon. So I did a little shopping and came on over for lunch. When I pulled into the parking lot it seemed kind of full which is to be expected when a tick tock went viral just yesterday, I think. The restaurant itself seemed clean. There was plenty of space to sit down and eat. There were booths and tables with chairs. The girls at the service counter were exceptionally kind. There was a little bit of a wait on the food but not too bad. I ordered ahead of time and they told me about 20ish minutes and I got mine in 25 minutes. I was a little disappointed because they didn't have the chicken ready so I didn't want to wait an extra 45 minutes. So I just went ahead and ordered the beef shawarma wrap and I ordered creamy cucumber salad. Honestly, it tasted pretty good but it wasn't anything to write home to Mama about. Was it worth the $12 just for the wrap? I personally don't think so. It's not bad at all. Would I get it again, probably. But I also want to try other places that may make this so I have something to compare it to. If you're craving a chicken shawarma because you've been seeing people eat it all over social media........ Go ahead and go on over to Aladdin's to at least give it a try yourself. I would love to come back and try the chicken Shawarma and some of their bowls. Ciao for now.

Chicken shawarma with falafel and creamy cucumber
Jenaia A.

Went here for lunch during a training. I've seen it many times but never took a chance to stop in. So glad we did! The service was a bit slow but the food was fresh and amazing. My friend got the sampler and I got the chicken shawarma entree. The only down side was that the cheese on the sampler was CRAZY SALTY!!! We tried mixing it with other things to hide the salt but it didn't help. There were leftovers, as usual, and I'm excited to eat the rest! I would definitely go again and recommend the place to other.

Fried cheese
Stephanie A.

We loved this place we sat down immediately and had a couple questions about the menu and our server was very helpful. We got the double XL box that came with two wraps and were full after the first one. Both the beef and the chicken were flavorful and moist I'd recommend getting one of each to try both. We also got the fried cheese which was soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. The Mira mango juice was really rich and sweet but on the smaller side.

Mixed shawarma entree w/ 2 sides (creamy cucumber and hummus)
Amber C.

Officially on my short list of can't-miss spots. I ordered the mixed shawarma entree with 2 sides - their creamy cucumber (like tzatziki) and hummus. Best tzatziki I've had. The shawarma entree was unbelievably good. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and a large portion size. Had a hard time saving half for lunch tomorrow! The service was fast and also exceptionally friendly. The vibe is casual and welcoming. I'll be thinking about that shawarma until my next visit!

Chicken Over Rice - The Bowl
Juanita M.

This place looks enchanting from outside. The sign is very welcoming as well. Walked in to a clean and welcoming place. The music was going and I almost wanted to dance while I waited. We were seated and immediately asked for drinks. So many to choose from, I went with a fountain drink. First time trying shawarma and I loved it!!! I got the chicken rice bowl while my kids got the XL shawarma with fries and dips. I also got 3 dips as appetizers. There was one I can't think of the name, it was kinda bland for my taste. The spicy one was great on the chicken but not so much on the pita bread. The hummus was my favorite of course!!! The restrooms were only one person restrooms so this could use an update, but I really liked the air fresheners in there lol. I know, weird! Honestly thought the person before me had drenched themselves in perfume and it smelled Devine. I loved it so much I took a picture of it. Back to the food, we had so much leftovers we brought it back to our hotel. Ate the next day and it was still just a great. Overall, amazing first time experience.

Kofta Kabob platter with Taboula and Creamy Cucumber.
Hoby C.

Nice quiet ambiance. Very clean looking and servers were attentive. Ordered Kofta Kabob platter with Taboula and Creamy Cucumber. Everything was wonderful but Taboula salad was a little dry.

Hummus, Mixed Grilled Platter, Tabouleh, Creamy Cucumber Salad

Everything was delicious! We specifically loved the hummus. Shams made the experience even better by explaining the menu and giving us a welcoming atmosphere.

Chicken
Robert N.

The chicken sawarma was delicious, I would recommend coming back and trying more food options. The place is clean & staff is friendly. Although they ran out of beef i will try it again. I do wish it was a bit crisper but overall pretty good. $10 for the wrap is a bit much.

Lamb chops, rice, creamy cucumber,  falafal
Angela A.

A hidden gem on W Market St. W Market At has a plethora of international restaurants and this gem shouldn't be skipped. Plenty of options and a great spot to get good food quickly at a reasonable price

Cassandra T.

I can't get enough!!! The first time I ordered for a meeting as a recommendation from another local restaurant couldn't help us with the large order with short notice. Aladdin's was more than happy to take our large order for 35 folks with same day service! The gal who answered the phone was extremely patient and answered all of my questions! Everyone in the meeting was so impressed. We had 3 family plater with 3 types of kabobs and rice with all of the sides! So the next time we went and sat in the restaurant! Oh my goodness if I thought it was good the first time I was blown away in the restaurant! The presentation the food the service everything was spot on! Clean, friendly, and food presentation was 10 out of 10!! Soooo we had a graduation party and our daughter said I want Aladdin's!!! Once again extremely kind patient and through when taking my order! We were feeding 40 this time with a few vegans. They were so accommodating. The food was hot, fresh, delicious, and a huge hit!! Needless to say well be back! The portions are great the prices are great the food is fantastic and the service is wonderful!

Double Box (Chicken and Beef) Chicken over rice bowl Spiced Turkish
Mary W.

This place is delicious! We have been wanting to try it for a long time and I'm so glad we did. The food is outstanding, and the prices are great, especially for the amount of food you get. We had the Double Wrap Box which came with 2 wraps - Chicken and Beef, plus fries. We also had the Chicken over rice. I highly recommend adding the Spicy Turkish which is a nice addition to the richness of each meal, adding a hint of freshness. The sauces add a nice flare, too. We ordered online and picked up with ease. The staff was friendly and the restaurant itself is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Fig and Olive Cafe - Pistachio Spanish latte without whipped cream

I've passed by this place so many times and never knew about it until a friend recommended it as…read moreher favorite coffee spot. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating. No frills and thrills, just some tables, chairs and a couple couches. Fine by me! The coffee speaks for itself. I opted for a hot pistachio cream latte. It was well balanced, not too sweet at all. I enjoyed the bites of pistachio topping. I did not try a pastry today but they all looked delicious. There was only one barista at 830am so it took a while to get my coffee. If you're in a rush this might not be a place you'd want to stop by on the way to work. But if you have time, it's worth the wait. I gave it 4 stars because the floor was very sticky when I visited. Not sure if someone spilled something or if it wasn't cleaned, but a couple of other patrons noticed the stickiness also.

My husband and I were intrigued because we heard that Fig and Olive Cafe had traditional Turkish…read morecoffee. We hadn't had coffee this way since our Greece trip in 2019 so we went to see if it was legit. As soon as we walked in we were in awe of the dessert spread that you walk past to get to the counter. The cakes looked SO moist and delicious! There were so many tantalizing flavor combos, but what stopped me in my tracks were the New York Rolls. Think giant crispy stuffed croissants! I ordered the Pistachio Cream one and no lie, it was 6 inches across and 2.5-3 inches tall. They asked if I wanted it heated (umm yes) and it was AHMAZING.i also ordered the fig and honey latte while my husband ordered the Turkish coffee. So good and unique! In fact, our visit was so good that 8 days later I chose Fig and Olive Cafe as a hang out spot for friends and I to gather for brunch. We all got the other three flavors of the New York Roll (Chocolate Hazelnut, Fig and Honey, and Biscoff Cookie) and shared them. I got the Pistachio Crème iced coffee and it was also excellent! 10/10 recommend these pastries! We had the opportunity to sit at the cafe from 9am-12:30 and we sat in cozy leather couches and enjoyed ourselves quite nicely! Staff were friendly and helpful.

Stumbled on this place whilst leaving Greensboro late night (around 10pm +/-) heading back home to…read moreWinston Salem on a rainy night. Now this place is on my radar and when I need coffee in Greensboro I will look for Common Grounds. Most other places were closed or closing at this time of night and consider ourselves so fortunate to have found this place. To me it is the essential Coffee House. It must cater to college age clientele, as observed that night. Grungy and edgy atmosphere with a beatnik vibe that night. Especially with the poetry reading and rotation of musicians doing the music of The Beatles and the 1960s. Which makes sense since it was Sir Paul McCartney's birthday that day. I felt like I time traveled decades back. The coffee that we got was excellent. I believe I got a standard cafe latte. Inviting coffee aromas. Housed in an building from an older error, in an immense space with multiple areas/nooks. Back area I did not spend time in but I could see there was a pool table back there with people just hanging out. Definitely seem like places where people could just be themselves whilst being warm and inviting to those near them. Felt welcoming to intellectualism and good discussions. Also felt like a place not to be rushed and just stay however long. Plenty of board and other games on site. Kind of limited parking in the lot right in front of the building. Parking on the avenue might be challenging? We were lucky to get a spot right by the front door in the parking lot. Close proximity to UNCG campus and other schools. Probably a place that can be walk to fairly easy. In closing one of my favorite coffee houses that I've experienced in the Piedmont triad area.

Been to this place a few times and had a pretty decent experience. This was years ago but I…read moreremember when they used to have singers come out and do little performance once a week and my friends would invite me out to watch their friends perform. I remember the vibes were pretty welcoming. I have gone once since then but during the day and the vibes were pretty chill and low-key but nothing too crazy. Just a typical experience but also a really good college outing memory. The matcha I had from there wasn't particularly my favorite but they used to keep their espresso machine up at night during the performance, I'm not completely sure if I remember correctly if they sold liquor or alcohol but the drink that I did have from there the first time I went was pretty good. The ambiance is pretty normal for greensboro, I feel like almost every establishment you walk in, there will be cracked floors but I just remember the staff was pretty awesome and as far as pastries, they had a pretty good variety and gluten free options and other food sensitivity options. I believe a few years ago, I recall an episode of "Catfish" where Nev and Max also visited this place so that was pretty interesting to experience that but honestly a pretty decent place.

I was on a walk this morning and I noticed that I was near Borough Coffee. I had been wanting to…read morecheck out this place for quite sometime now, I just never had the time to do it. But today was the day! As soon as you show up, you know this isn't your typical coffee shop. The outside of the place looks like it could be an Inn in the neighborhood (which who knows maybe it was at one point.) The vibe inside gives off quiet workspace/library, and definitely gives off the lobby of an Inn (think Gilmore Girls.) There was some people scattered around but I didn't take a deep look inside since I was just passing by. I ordered my ice vanilla latte. The first thing I remember realizing was that it wasn't very sweet. Which is not a bad thing, sometimes they can be made really sweet other times they can be not so sweet. This latte was in the middle. I could taste the creaminess from the oat milk too. I would definitely check this place out again and try out some of their other drinks that they offer. I would even like to stay in and work inside and see more of the environment inside.

They have a variety of coffee and tea drinks to enjoy. For food, they carry delicious items from Camino Bakery. I enjoyed a very well made coffee and a spinach artichoke danish during a weekday lunch break. At one point in the past, they had a full working kitchen with a much bigger variety of cooked to order breakfast and lunch items. The friendly staff working today were unsure when this will be up and working again. Hopeful they will bring it back for some point. This is a perfect spot for a relaxing and pleasant morning or midday/afternoon work session. In addition, they sometimes host live music for a fun evening on their huge back patio and garden area. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
