Never had a bad meal here and we have tried some adventurous menu items. Bye mujadara plate is "vegetarian" yet very filling and full of flavor. What a great surprise. Good spot for dessert and coffee. Great cake selection, but be ware they sometimes are in the case too long. This location has a great atmosphere, seated inside or outside. Ordered trays of wraps for a house party - great choice read more

Just to add my opinion to what others have said: the food is *great*...not only great, but cheap too! My husband and I got the veggie appetizer and the pitzas...I was stuffed after the appetizer! The pitza alone, at 6 bucks, would have been enough to fill me up. The server we had was kind of standoffish. but the food was delivered relatively quickly, so I guess it evens out. Oh and the dessert selection? They place it right by th front desk and looked absolutely delicious! read more

Unbelievable hummus, hot sauce and taboulie. Their chargrilled tuna salad is also fantastic, as well as many of their other salads. They have a nice outdoor patio as well, and since the restaurant is located on Highland Square (which is super convenient) there's some great people watching. They serve beer and wine too, which is nice. Their prices are really great and the serving sizes are large. With that being said, the service here is totally hit or miss. Some of the servers are really great, others are absolutely terrible. And the restaurant is simply not clean. I continue to go because I love the healthy and delicious food and the location is wonderful, but avoid looking into the kitchen if you check it out. read more

The food was good, but not great. The best dish we had was the babaganouj, which I'd call excellent. I took off a point for slow and inattentive service. We had to ask before silverware was brought to us, and had to ask twice for some drinks we'd ordered. This was my second time dining in Akron. It took some searching to find a restaurant near downtown that was open on Sunday. Fortunately, this one (a minor chain) was open. General comment: I can't believe that most restaurants in Akron warrant four stars. read more

I've eaten here a few times but nothing to write about! Then I tried dawali Tuesday, let's just say today is Thursday and I've been ordering dawali everyday for lunch! I can't get enough of it! With a side of baklava =HEAVEN! Service is always fast and friendly! I now LOVE this place! #FiveStars read more

My new favorite restaurant for Lebanese food. Their Pita wraps are super, a great melding of flavors. The quinoa salad was also good. Quantities are not for the faint of heart. Service was very good, friendly and prompt. I'd definitely go again. read more

This place never disappoints . It is our go to lunch place at work. They always have the orders right for pick up and the food is always so fresh. Order the hummus with hot sauce it is the bomb. The pita rolls are fabulous and the salads. You can't go wrong with anything you order here . read more

Aladdin's in Akron is a great place to go for Mediterranean food! The hummus is homemade, and a great price. I went with a girlfriend and we took our times catching up (something that is typically obnoxious to a server - and we both waited tables!), but our server was so kind and gave us impeccable service! The best part of the experience (other than the wine list) was that the menu did a great job of explaining all of the healthy options. For example, they only server Gerber chicken, not hormone-injected chicken that you would normally get in any restaurant. And there are plenty of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. I will definitely be going back!! read more

This is my favorite place for lunch (and occasional dinner)! My best friends and I frequent this place a lot and can honestly say it's pretty consistent. They have THE best hummus and pita bread. The service is always quick and good and of course the food is amazing. If you love Middle Eastern food then you should definitely eat at this chain! read more

This place is fantastic! I have been here a million times and never once have I been disappointed. The staff are so sweet and very attentive. The ambience and general feel of the place is wonderful. It is small though, and I agree with another reviewer that they should expand! But it is a very romantic place so it would be perfect for dates. My table is the one by the window because the people-watching is fantastic while scarfing down delicious Mediterranean food. The outdoor seating is great too, especially on warm summer nights. This place is a melting pot when it comes to the customers. The artsies, the trendies, the wealthies, and those in between. I just love the Highland Square area with all the great shops, bars, restaurants and cool people. It's a very comfortable place. Anyway, the pita ''pitza'' with the garlic sauce is orgasmic. Really. Try it for yourself!! My other favorites are the lamb shishtawook and chicken shishtawook, and I always get their hummus and pita bread with hot sauce. The pricing is wonderful and I really don't think anyone could leave this place disappointed. read more

wow, this brings me back... i haven't been here in let's say.... 7 years? but i still remember it enough to remember the name and write a review this long after. my friend used to live across the street from this place and we would go all the time. i got the chicken salad salad with their sesame dressing, it's amazing. i miss it so much and if i EVER go back to OH... (he has since moved), i will definitely make a point to stop here. yummmyyyy!!!! read more

My wife and I are traveling through Ohio and stopped to visit friends here in Akron. After a day of highway food stops, this was an incredible treat. Very fresh food, cooked to perfection. We loved it! read more

I really miss this place. I love their curry chicken wrap. I hadn't been to Akron in 5 years but I made sure I stopped here before I left and even bought another one for the trip home. The lamb salad is also delicious. read more

Bar none the worst falafel in town. So bad it tastes like frozen falafel microwaved and served in a pita that would make Wonder Bread envious of its cheapness. Avoid at all costs. read more

Every time I go I get one thing, so I guess I'm not the best reviewer for this one BUT the Mediterranean Beef Kafta Plate with the Garlic Yogurt Dressing is THE most amazing dish ever. Aside from the horrible breath for the next day or 2 I am in love with this dish. The look of the beef isn't the most appealing, but once you dip it in that amazing garlic sauce you are taken to another world! The rice with vermicelli that it is served with is also wonderful, the pine nuts are always toasted just right and the cinnamon really adds to the flavor. Mix some of that garlic sauce into the rice too and its even more amazing! read more

Best Aladdin's location, bar none. :) Service is consistently great, food is always perfect and comes out as it should. Definitely my favorite out of the whole bunch. read more

Out of all of the Alladin's locations in the Northeast Ohio area, this is by far my favorite. I love the small, intimate space and the servers are always very nice. Awesome food, nice patio space, and GREAT desserts! I suggest the Lamb Salad, Lentil Soup, Babagonoush, and Lamb Rolled! read more

This place is good, which is a blessing because it is really the only option for middle eastern food in the area.

This used to be a 3 star place but then they became chain-y and changed how they prepare some of their items and I've been disappointed. Its a small place in Highland Square, cool to eat outside when the weather cooperates, great people watching. read more

I love the selections at Aladdin's. They have many gluten free, healthy options. I'm not a huge fan of their hummus or pita but their tuna salad and service have always been great. The pomegranate green iced tea is fabulous! I hope they revamp their pita and hummus because it is disappointing that a place that should specialize in it isn't. read more

Yummy! good food and really cute patio. I always get an appetizer (hummous or baba, definitely with hot sauce), and then go for the soup -- Len chili usually but all are good. I've also had the wraps and my parents get various plates and have never been disappointed. I think my dad gets Jasmin's feast. I moved to southern CA and still get this when I go home (a compliment in itself considering the culinary options that I've become accustomed to in Cali). Also, they have Great Lakes beer :) read more

Visited a few weeks ago when touring Ohio, pleasantly surprised that the food was so delicious. Service was very kind and fast, and food came out quickly. Highly recommend anything with jasmine rice! Their meat is very well seasoned. read more

Delicious food! I've never been disappointed. Typically, its the chicken-len chili with cheddar and an Aladdin's Lamb Rolled. The hummus is great! We usually get the Baba and split it. I've never left anything less than pleased. Also, they've got carry-out available which is usually quick as well. A lot of folks think this is "weird food" but give it a shot. Years ago I probably thought the same, but I tried it and fell in love with its great flavored, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Oh BTW Highland Square Aladdin's better than Fairlawn Aladdin's in every way! read more

Delicious, well seasoned, fresh Mediterranean food. The baba ghanoush is excellent, the service is great, and the quality of the food is incredible! read more

When it's not busy, this place is the best. They make mediterranean food on par with any other place around...if there were other places, I suppose. Anyway, the food is good, it's cheap, and it has a great low-lit vibe. I can't say I like how close everyone has to sit. I don't like knocking knees with strangers. But really, it's a small price to pay for all the rest this place has to offer. read more

I've dined at another Aladdin's location several times in the past, so I had preconceived expectations. I can't comment on the interior atmosphere, as my date and I ate outside, which was quite nice. Our waiter was helpful with the menu and made sure we were doing OK throughout the meal without pestering us. We ordered the Vegetarian Combo; the hummus was delicious, but I can't say that we were crazy about any of the other items. She ordered the Farmer's Pitza (not listed on the menu) and said, "It was delicious!". I ordered my usual Spicy Kafta Rolled and it did not disappoint. read more

I had the chicken pita roll with humus and it was delicious. They have this great house sauce that the chicken is marinated in that taste great...and they make everything fresh from organic veggies. read more

Excellent food. It was great, as a vegan, to have so many options. The service was great - friendly servers. Very reasonable prices.

Great for takeout! My visitors from NYC were impressed and said we need to order this again next time they're in Akron. Definitely try the salad appetizer sampler. read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, I just don't like Mediterranean food and they offer no alternatives. :( Dessert is wonderful though.

We love the baba and veggies. JT (lil guy] likes the fruit plate with grilled pita & cheese.

I have been absolutely in love with this place since I first walked in the door in 2007! The food, the staff all of it!! If I drive by my mouth waters even if I am NOT hungry. The food is fresh, healthy and delicious. Which is a winning combo in my book!!!! read more

Pretty good mideastern food at a decent price

Absolutely delicious food with great service. Carry-out is available too!

Manager rude......poor accommodations for 13 quest in a restaurant where 7 people were eating at 3 tables. Stay away.

A little slow, but understand everything is cooked to order. Food is really excellent and reasonably priced. My whole family loved it and wants more Middle Eastern food. A real jewel in my opinion. read more

Smaller in size than Youngstown location but in a cuter neighborhood. Appetizers still just as awesome. Go for the baba ganoush. Lebanese salata and tabbouleh a hit. read more

The flavors will take you on a mini vacay to the Middle East...and that's a fantastic thing.

Pretty consistent, but nothing special. Hummus seems bland to me (needs lemon or tahini/nut flavor...and it's not very smooth). Good Greek Salad, tasty tabbouli. Haven't tried the desserts, but they look outrageously good. read more

A family favorite, both before and after we had kids. Fresh, fast, and consistently delicious. One of our kids' first words was "hummus".
