This is a food store, bakery and there is a small place to dine in as well. I had the gyro and my friend had the chicken shawarma to go. I also had the baklava and avocado salad. All of it was delicious and the service was great. Their tzatziki sauce was exceptional. read more

This restaurant is AMAZING! I ordered the Gyro and the Baklava and I am in love. With the high quality of food and the kind service, I will definitely be back. read more

Aladdin's Bakery - Assorted Flavors Baklava - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The prices shown online don't match the ones in the store. When bringing this up they claimed the web hasn't been updated, and as far as I remember they have had this excuse years before. Totally disregarding any customers and always making up stories. The manager part owner claims he is only an employee there and so on. They must honor advertised prices and stop charging you whatever they feel like charging. Very dishonest crew of gouging entrepreneurs. Either have a correct online presence, or don't have one at all. The prices shown are already higher than before, but now they are even higher than the higher ones, but you wouldn't know it, simply put they can charge you whatever they want and as much as they want. Very shady. read more

It's a bakery and specialty grocery store, first and foremost. And if you don't leave with a some pita or naan, you're missing out. But the sandwiches, the meat pies or pockets, and the baked sweets are wonderful, and there are a few tables to enjoy them before you trundle home with your treasures. read more

We would always go to Aladdin's supported them through Covid with takeout every week! It was always good the food was good the service was great then the last 2 times we just ate here the food has gone down the tubes. I was always a big fan of the chicken salad. It was always a very big salad. Lots of chicken not anymore. They brought a full order to me which looked like a side salad. When you're charging almost $20 for a salad there better be a lot of lettuce and vegetables on a BIG plate and a whole piece of chicken. It looked like scraps of chicken. When I asked the waitress, what the heck was going on with my salad why was it so small? Her reply was oh it must be something going on in the kitchen today. Never offered anything to help no "hey we will fix it" nothing! We went back in for a second time same thing, and then my husband's chicken wrap was even smaller, but more money. This is really sad that the chain is getting greedy and letting this place fall apart, if you pay attention, you will see every time you walk by. They don't have the people in there that they used to have It's not crowded anymore. You would think that the owner would see this and try to fix it but nope . Another one bites the dust, the owners getting greedy cutting portions charging more money, etc this is where I don't feel sorry for restaurants that close up because they did it to themselves. We won't be back. read more

Best Middle Eastern bread bakery in Cleveland! They supply all the other stores with pita bread and if you go at certain times you get to see the bread being made! read more

The chicken swarma is the best and I always grab some fresh pita.. Lots of pastries and other good stuff.

Lots of good food and a wonderful grocery selection. We love the deli and hot food selections!

I love their pita spinach pies I have been going and eating them for 2O years. I love being able to get a quick meal and see them getting heated up in the oven. read more

Basic Mediterranean essentials from fresh hummus and olives to olive oils, cheeses, and miscellaneous fig and other pantry items. No fresh produce. Some warmable foods like the blah feta veggie flatbread I got and photographed. Very nice workers and helpful if you have any questions. read more

Good pita/naan bread and selection of baklava. The shop seems to be under construction currently so half of it is closed. The pita are made in-house and quite popular as they distribute to local stores in the CLE area. Fresh naan (garlic, garden veggie, wheat, or plain flavors) are $1.90. Normally large pitas are $1.45. You can score a deal on day old pita bread for 75 cents. Heat it up and it's just fine. They sell sweets and other middle eastern grocery. You can also purchase food to go. I ordered a Zaatar bread heated up for $1.99. I rate them 3 stars because workers were not strictly wearing masks correctly. Even the cashier guy his mask was below the nose or sometimes not even covering his mouth when talking to us. We were also over charged for pita that was on sale. Luckily we kept the receipt and took it back to show the cashier. We were told 'you should have spoke up and told me these were the sale ones!' I think that should be the job of the store to mark these. Who knows how many people don't check their bill and just walk away paying more. So keep an eye on your bill when you shop! read more

Would go out of my way to go back! Such a fun adventure buying all the different Mediterranean foods: tabbouleh, hummus, baklavah and DEFINITELY SANDWICHES!! Fantastic. The naan bread I brought home was a huge hit. Everyone was so nice and helpful. read more

This place is great for a quick lunch. I love their falafel sandwich (the falafel is flavorful and not too bread-y) and my bf loves the chicken kebab. The flavors are very clean and the veggies crisp. We also got the hummus with tahini (so smooth and buttery. Can't wait to try the other flavors. I am eyeing the spicy one next) to dip our spinach pie in. Can't wait to come back and get the above (plus stock up on their home mad pita and hummus) read more

I bought dozen of falafel and it was frozen so I drove back to see the manger and I was surprised that the manger sold me the falafel, I asked the manger why the falafel are frozen he said we sell the falafel frozen I just felt they don't care about the customer so I didn't argue with him and I asked for refund. Please don't visit this location because they don't care about customers and they will sell you old and frozen food. read more

I was there yesterday around 1:30 pm. I want to warn everyone that the employees do not all wear masks, and the ones who do fail to cover their noses. In addition, the food serving areas, like the coffee service area, are filthy. And, the plastic barriers not wide enough, allowing customers unobstructed breathing into the food preparation areas. Aside from that, my chicken shawarma's contents included tough overdone chicken, and brownish lettuce and onions. read more

Had a pretty good gyro. I always appreciate the chance to add some Greek feta ((for an extra fee of course) but that was not an option. I would have liked red onion instead of white. The tzatziki sauce could have been better. The girls behind the counter were friendly and fast. Small market for homemade pita and naan. read more

Updating because I think it's worthy... Be sure to check ALL expiration dates!!! Half of the items I picked up today were expired or a day/few days away from expiring. Staff was not overly friendly or helpful. Baked goods, fresh pita and hummus are still stars (and a bargain)!! However, I bought their tabouli and when I got home there was a sharp wire in the mixture. I didn't see the wire... I found it when I ate a spoonful, and it cut my gum open. Be careful, my friends. Pistachio baklava will always have a very special place in my heart, so that is why Al's gets 3 stars. read more

My crew has eaten here twice a day for two days! Today we are stocking up for the drive to Kansas. Thank you All for feeding us and converting a few meat eaters to veggies for two days! read more

What a gem!!! We stopped in Cleveland during a long road trip for a bite to eat. We were just going to hit up your standard fast food restaurant, but then I drove past this place. I knew instantly that I must stop!! This place is set up like a little market. They have so many different items in their store - it's amazing, trust me! I stocked up on some goods and noticed through the glass that the workers were making fresh pita in the room over. It was like a small factory set up. Their pita was soooo reasonably priced and very, very good. They also sell day old pita for half the price! In additional to the store and the fresh pitas, they also serve food. You just approach the counter and order what you want. They have some pre-made things (sort of like a deli set up) and also items that they can whip up for you. There were huge blocks of fresh feta cheese and just everything you could possibly want in a Mediterranean styled place. The prices were sooo good, too. I grab some pre-made salads to take home (they were only like $5 or $6) and had fresh herbs in it. Then we ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich, which again was under $6. It had chicken served in their freshly made pita with garlic, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickled turnips, parsley and tahini sauce. They were really big and absolutely delicious. I was so excited to be eating it! This is by far the best of this food that I have ever had. It is all so fresh, authentic and tasty. Buffalo has several places that serve similar food, but they are definitely lacking the market style of this place. The food surpasses any place in Buffalo by far. I genuinely wish this place was in Buffalo because I would be there weekly - whether it would be to buy groceries, pita or a nice meal. One of the best decisions I have ever made! I can't imagine driving through Cleveland again and not stopping. read more

I have been going here for years and never took time to write a review. Love their gyro sandwiches, spinach/feta pies, and baba and everything else. I have a friend from h.s. who is ill right now and this is the food she asked me to bring. Super fresh pita. Everything is so fresh and healthy. I'm always surprised to stumble upon someone who has never tried it. It's a Cleveland gem!!!! read more

Aladdins is great as a quick stop to grab some food to go. This location is like 95% market with the front counter restaurant. The market offers up traditional meditteranean fare such as fresh pita, hummus, and various other sauces along with much more. The restaurant is sandwich based with a very cheap and accessible menu. I found it interesting that all the sandwiches are rolled rather than folded over in the pita like most other places. The shwarma is very savory and fresh cut off the vertical cooker. Personally, I am not a fan of the pickled turnips that they use and prefer to order without them. When in a rush this is top notch mediterranean cuisine to go. read more

Healthy, fresh and fast Lebanese food!! Excellent service and family owned! Best Pita in the Land. A Cleveland staple of 50+ years! Stop in and grab a bite or shop around for some authentic mediterranean goods! read more

I love this place! It's so healthy and so delicious. The people are very nice and the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. They have the best homemade hot sauce and really good Zaatar too. read more

Stopped in for lunch while participating in a conference across the street. It was a hot day outside, and unfortunately the bakery wasnt any cooler. However I came for a gyro and I wasnt going to turn back. And I am so glad I didn't. Meat shaved right off the spit, bread baked fresh daily. I wish I would have tried more, but gives me something to come back to. read more

Aladdin's Bakery - Fantastic lamb gyro! - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This is my go-to place for healthy, fresh, quick lunchtime takeout. The place has improved in bounds aesthetically speaking since I started going there a few years ago, but the food has been consistently great. I'm a vegetarian and really appreciate the wide variety of veggie-friendly options, but my friends rave about the gyros and shwarma as well. The hummus veggie rolled pita and artichoke pizza are my personal favorites. As far as the store goes, there is no better place to buy pita, price or quality wise. I LOVE the packs of cinnamon raisin pitas, $1.50 for six of them (slap on some peanut butter and you have breakfast covered for a week). The place can get busy before Indian's games, but they usually move people through there pretty quickly. Also, stick a dime in the meter out front even if you think you'll just be in there for 5 minutes! For whatever reason they seem to police the area quite frequently and it sucks to leave the place with your yummy food only to be greeted by a $20 ticket on your car! read more

Aladdin's Bakery - baklava, pita pizzas and spinach pies... yum! - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This place was great. The Gyro roll was delicious and I also tried a kibbie ball - meat, tomato, spices. Fantastic. As I sat eating my food I saw many people show up and take it to go so don't be fooled by the location or its supposed busyness. read more

Great selection of items in the grocery store part of Aladdin's. Took a walk at lunchtime and popped into Aladdin's for a couple bars of olive oil soap, hibiscus tea, hummus, and hot curry powder. Bought some zatar bread (omg this is soooooo good!!) and baklava (drool!!!!!!!) to go. The food here is always great. Very clean space, fair amount of products to choose from in the grocery side (it's fun to discover and try new things!) The workers are always super friendly and helpful. Such a great place. I always love stopping in here and picking something delicious up! read more

This place is a staple for lunches during the weekdays or before Indians games when they are open that way you avoid the overpriced less than stellar food at the game. I tend to get either the falafel or chicken shwarma wrap. Both are very tasty. I think what is best is that their homemade pita wrap is relatively thin so you taste the filling a lot more than the bread. Their hummus is excellent as well, very creamy and flavorful. Sometimes the meat in the wraps can be dry and a schmeer of hummus helps. Fast services, low prices and tasty healthy food. It is all good at Aladdin's. read more

I have been going here for decades... best deal downtown for lunch. Their Chicken Shawarma for only $5.75 is something I crave. Thinly sliced marinated meat cooked on a large vertical skewer. Served on a pita laced with garlic, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickled turnips, parsley and dressed with tahini sauce. Eat in or take out. If you want Pita bread... this is the place... they make it there, you can't get fresher! Day pita old is cheap and great to make your own pita chips with. All you needs for Middle Eastern cooking are available too. A large variety of olives out of vats, you get to taste them before buying... so authentic. Try the Greek Feta, cut to order... least expensive in town and wonderful. Don't forget to try their Baba... nice level of lemon juice to galic. read more

Great array of foods and an extremely impressive grocery section. I really love the outdoor tables too. Take a shopping bag, you'll need it. A wonderful array of cheeses are available as well. read more

The staff at Aladdins' is amazing. It's like a big family that is willing to share all its food with you. I especially liked the grape leaves and homemade pizzas. For less than $5 you can get freshly made food that can last for two meals if you stretch it a bit. They also have a great variety of breads and hummus to take to go. Make sure to ask for the pizza to be warmed up..they will toast it for you and it tastes so good!! read more

Been going here since I was a kid and it's evolved over the years- but everything is just delish. I love watching the fresh pitas come down the conveyor all puffy! When I was little, the staff would come out and hand me a piping hot fresh one. That, my friends, is a heavenly experience. Great spinach pies, fresh or frozen for take home! read more

I went to Alladins today for a quick meal after the art museum, and loved it! I don't know if I was more impressed by the cheap prices or the quality of the food! I ordered a meat pie with 2 grape leaves, and my mom ordered a spinach and feta pie, all of which were delicious. Their stuffed pies are small, portable snacks that come in a variety of flavors. Also I tried some grape leaves stuffed with meat for the first time, and they were also delicious. The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is that the meat pies were a little cold in the center. Also, they sell a lot of Lebanese groceries, and we picked up some of those as well. All in all, definitely recommended! read more

Aladdin's Bakery - Spinach and feta pie with grape leaves! - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Food and pita is 100% authentic, house made, delicious, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend to everyone!

So, you know that restaurant you thought was good until someone told you they saw a mouse behind the counter? Or that time you found a hair in your sandwich? A fly in your soup? When was the last time you saw the woman making your sandwich flossing inbetween orders... behind the counter... in plain sight of everyone in the store/restaurant? Gross. read more
