Pretty basic mediterranean dishes with large portion sizes. The food wasn't too heavy and satisfying, but wasn't blown away. Would recommend for large groups and casual eats. read more

We ran into this eatery while in the area and decided to give it a try. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. The garlic dipping sauce served with the food was out of the world. I couldn't get enough of the pesto hummus and the bread. My husband ordered a plate and he said the meat was tender and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to try out other options on the menu on our future visits. read more

Love this restaurant! Delicious food, good service. A great restaurant for a quick and delicious meal!

My meal was very tasty. My friends pitza was difficult to eat because it was too limp. But, there was a couple of kids in the restaurant with there parents presumably. They were very loud and unruly. The adults did nothing to stop the screaming. The kids were never told to stop. We wondered if they were the owners. Unfortunately we won't go back. I've had better luck with lunch time when kids aren't around. The service by Ginger was great. Too bad management didn't do anything to help matters. Shaun G read more

My husband and I had an early dinner at Aladdin's. I've been wanting to try it for a while and can't believe we waited to so long. My husband is a picky eater but loved the hummus and falafel. He ordered the curry chicken pita with a couple of adjustments and thought it was great. I was very happy with the hummus and falafel as well. We were full from the appetizers before our food arrived, so I definitely suggest ordering small for all of the appetizers if your party is small. I had the Shish kabob roll and it was also very good. The wrap is grilled nicely and the meat was tender and delicious. We ended our meal sharing a piece of baklava, which was fresh and perfectly nutty. read more

Menu items. The food wasn't that great. The service was OK. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was kind of a Lebanese expensive sports bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the lamb salad. The was like they pulled the greens and piled them in one corner of the plate, the a few slices of tomatoes in another corner, olives in another corner and finally the lamb on top. It looks pretty but messy when you try to cut it up and eat it. read more

Extensive gluten free options. Fresh and flavorful with great spice cauliflower! The Greek salad was plentiful.

I went on Sat between lunch and dinner. Nobody was there hardly and the service was very good and fast. As I ate, then left, ppl started coming in. The food was great, lots of vegetarian options! A little salty for me, I expect that with Mediterranean food though. Just glad to get something that I can't have where I live (in Lexington, KY). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good ambience with cool decorations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Aladdin's is quickly becoming a new favorite in our household. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The portion sizes and prices are amazing. The pesto hummus is delicious. I absolutely love the Chicken Curry Pitza and the Mediterranean Beef Kafta Plate. I have a feeling I will like anything I order. read more

What a Delightful little gem this place is to visit. I was traveling on business and saw great reviews on Aladdin's page and thought it was worth a try. Indeed it was! I was promptly seated and met by a gracious server named Brianna. Although she was only 3 days on the job she was most attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant is bright and cheery and offers a nice atmosphere . The menu is extensive with many delectable options. I was very pleased with my Chicken dish. The highlight for me was their homemade hummus. One of the best I've had in ages. There is no doubt I will definitely be back here again! read more

Our takeout order was $60 for two plates, and it was labeled for sharing so we planned to split the meals between four people. Upon arriving home we discovered that the takeouts were nearly empty, only ten small pieces of beef and four lamb koftas with rice. Biggest ripoff, wouldn't recommend. read more

Aladdin's is a great go to because it can cater to just about every kind of food restriction while still offering a range of delicious options for lunch or dinner. I was here for a workday lunch and my companion and I shared a delicious appetizer of hummus and tortilla thin pita bread (you can order as much as you like). I followed this with a great salad topped with four generous and perfectly made falafel patties and a lovely tahini lemon dressing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is calm and steady.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We weren't rushed and our server was kind and understanding when we needed to wrap up quickly to get back to work. Recommended. read more

Looking for healthy and reasonably priced food, this is the place. Kind of hidden in a strip mall just off Madison Road, Alladin's is our go-to for Mediterranean fare. The service is excellent, the dining room is a bit noisy, but the food is the focus. Fresh and filling, healthy too. What more could one ask for? read more

This place was one of very few that were open on Easter Sunday, during the COVID-19 pandemic, no less. For that, I am grateful. Dolmas (they call them Dawali) weren't good at all (to me). The grape leaves were too tough and they lacked flavor. The hummus was good; the baba ghanoush, however, was phenomenal. Falafel was pretty good on its own, but once you slap on some hummus and baba g, then wrap it in the pita and drizzle their homemade hot sauce atop, it becomes delicious. Spicy Cauliflower was delicious, but on no planet would they be considered spicy. Like, not even by a long shot. Fortunately for me, I bought side orders of their homemade hot sauce and dipped the flowers in there. Now it's a party! They give you tons of pita bread with your order, so no worries in that regard. My main complaint is that some things were overpriced. For what they charge for the non-spicy cauliflower, I expected twice the portion. When I went in to get my carry out order, I noticed that they had vegan desserts on display. I already had dessert from elsewhere so I didn't get to try any of them, but it was great to see them being offered. read more

Aladdin's is one of the tastiest restaurants that you can usually walk into and sit right down. With a great Mediterranean menu, the fresh and healthy options are packed with flavor. Service here is always friendly. Desserts are delicious too. Good to know: the iced tea is top tier. read more

We mainly enjoyed our experience here last night. The restaurant itself is a nice, clean establishment with a spacious dining room and huge windows overlooking the strip mall parking lot and surrounding Oakley neighborhood. The waitstaff were completely attentive and friendly, always making the rounds to every table when serving orders. The food for the most part was extremely tasty. We savored the hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli and fatayer veggie appetizers. The tahini, garlic and spicy sauces made for great condiments too. But unfortunately, there were a couple major culinary missteps that put a bit of a damper on the meal. The falafel, while incredibly flavorful, was hella salty. I found myself trying to rehydrate right up til bedtime. Finally, the lamb in the Mediterranean dish was charred to a crisp. That was a total dealbreaker for me. Even the delicious spiced rice couldn't hide the burnt flavor of the meat. So disappoint.... I kinda (hopefully) chalk this to a one-off experience. Definitely will give this place another try based on the comfortable atmosphere, fine service and array of meal options. We also forgot to leave room in our stomachs for some of the plethora of desserts from a large display case by the front counter. Besides, there aren't that many Mediterranean options in the area anyways. read more

I went to Hyde Perk and noticed that there was another Aladdin's restaurant, so I decided to check it out, and it was defiantly worth it. The place is very comfortable and welcoming. Calm atmosphere with friendly staff who make your visit even better. The waitress was very kinda, cheerful and attentive. I ordered a the Great Lakes beer, and it was better than anticipated. I would of love to see some Mediterranean beers on the menu but the had a good variety. To eat we got the Alibaba pizza and the Shish kabob plate. Both were extremely delicious, the Shish came with a hot sauce that was the best spicy sauce I've had. This places is a must try, I will go back! read more

First time here so we just got some basic stuff. A beef kebab, a lamb kebab and a a dessert sampler. We got the order to go and the wait wasn't too bad even though it was Sunday dinner time when we came in. The portions were well sized for the price and the food was delicious. I cant stop raving about the baklava. I grew up in a Greek Neighborhood in Queens, NY and my spouse is from a Greek family. So we are both spoiled by some really good baklava in our life. But I can honestly say this is some of the BEST baklava I've had in a long time. It was not overly drenched in honey and it was so well balanced with the phyllo dough still being nice and flakey. read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Waiting for our take out order - Lebanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We stopped here on our way downtown. The parking was tight and traffic was heavy in the restaurants area. We have been to the other location and liked it. We tried different things this time but next time will stick with what we normally get hummas, tabuli and pitas. We started with Sfiha which was ok. It was like a spicy hamburger mix in a grilled pita. I say ok because we were expecting more of a dip like the hummus or tabuli. I would get it again just maybe not as an appetizer. I had the Aladdin favorite combo that came with a salad and pasta (looked like rice) and three different meats. Really good. My husband ordered Jasmines favorite with tuna. The tuna was way overcooked and dry. The dish description was a little misleading because it starts out with beans as an ingredient and he likes beans but it was mainly rice with a few other veggies mixed in. We should have known better since it was called Jasmine. I offered to switch plates with him since I suggested his to him but he choked it down complaining with every bite. The tuna WAS dry so therefore a three star review. read more

Poor customer service experience I'm not surprised the parking lot was full but this restaurant was empty. I was greeted by a polite gentleman initially. While reading the menu another person walked up and said nothing never a hello nor would you like help deciding. Eventually I look up and say hello. Then finished perusing the menu. Once I figured out what i wanted I placed my order. I inquired how long he said five minutes. I said five minutes to prepare chicken. He said yes. I asked how long has it been sitting out. Not long was his reply. As I thought to myself he told me a total. I said ok I'll be right back. He began to demand I pay smh. Nah I pay when the food is ready. Turns out this rudey was Paul who says he is the area general manager. Precooked chicken in a sit-down restaurant and poor customer service. Save your money and spare yourself the salmonella read more

I got the Sultan's Shawarma Pitza. The meat didn't taste fresh to me. It was over seasoned and dry. I couldn't finish it. The pitza was a good portion though. It was my first time, so I would be willing to give it another try sometime. Their bakery case looked incredible. I will definitely need to order dessert next time! read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Sultan's Shawarma Pitza - Lebanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Stopped by over the holiday weekend for a dinner. The service was friendly, attentive and quick Pros: Most of the flavors were pretty similar to other cities Lebanese food Plenty of pita bread, was a little thinner then the grocery store options that you would make sandwiches with, and it worked well with the meal Cons: In trying to make the falafel healthier, they use fava beans, and it does change the flavor profile. They offer the little solo cups of a garlic or hot sauce at 75 cents each Something in the middle: The hummus that came with my plate, it was the wettest hummus I can remember having, the flavor was what I expect out of basic hummus, but it was runny read more

Great food! Always such a good selection and high quality. Service is fantastic. My wife and I get take out often and they are always quick and courteous. read more

Update: Came June 7th 2018 and tried some other goodies and desserts! As expected everything was superb, excellent top notch service as before. How I wish we had something this amazing here in Utah. 5/23/2018: Found this place on Yelp while looking for an Indian restaurant in the area. The rating looked excellent and we all love Lebanese food/Mediterranean style food. The appetizers were super delicious, we tried to get one of each. I got so full from the appetizers that I had to take my main dish to go. So sad that we couldn't try their freshly made desserts either. Excellent service from start to finish, delectable food. Next time we come will just feast on the appetizers and then get desserts. read more

Ordered Genie's Combo Plate and Mediterranean Beef Kafta Plate. Both plates came out cold. :(! Both of our stomachs were upset and hurting before finishing our food. Not a very good sign.. Hummus has noooo flavor, super disappointed by that. Garlic sauce was very pasty and not delicious. Although the Tahini Lemon Dressing was very delicious. Total came to $50.44 with orange juice, mango smoothie (yum), and pomegranate green tea (also very bitter tea, even with sweetener). read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Fun dinner for one!!! Thanks for being open! - Lebanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The food was so yummy, and their customer service was excellent. Our group had a variety of food allergies and the lady who took our order went above and beyond to not only help us quickly find the yummiest "must try" items on the menu but also took the time to talk us through minor recipe modifications to work around our gluten and dairy allergies. We felt immediately cared for and it was evident all the staff really knows and loves this place. We will definitely recommend to anyone in the area!! We opted to do takeout and picnic at Eden Park which is close and has stunning views. We kept talking about the food the whole time we were eating it and each bite seemed to be better than the last. Incredibly fresh, flavorful and unique. Everything you could ask for in a restaurant. If only there were one in south Florida where we are from, we would be there all the time. Until next time! Thanks for everything!! read more

I was next door getting my nails done and I decided I would order here for takeout. I saw that they had Lebanese style pizzas and I was intrigued. The pitza wasn't nasty but by no means was it extraordinary. I believe that it was supposed to come with cheese and they forgot it but I'm cool with that. I should probably be dairy free anyway. I also ordered a baklava, which I have to admit was a little stale. I was disappointed in it. Overall an okay experience. I may visit again to try the more traditional foods. read more

Thanks to my Chowdown Cincinnati family, I went into my first Mediterranean/ Lebanese experience with NO FEAR!!! ...... everything was absolutely delicious. Everyone's recommendations were on point. All the pictures have the names of the dishes we ordered. Food wise what stood out the most was the amazingly tender chicken and the BAKLAVA, OMG the Baklava was thee freshest most delicious baklava I've ever put in my mouth. Not only that, they had 4 different types, the lady fingers & the original walnut were my fave...Aside from the food being amazing there was 1 thing that stood out the most.... There nice gentleman that greeted us!!! He warmed my heart, he spoke to us like we were royalty and "Our wish was his command" so to say ... it really set the tone for how the rest of our night went!!! Thank you to the Host for being and awesome warming person... you are a rarity do not change your awesome demeanor!!! Thank you Aladdins I will most definitely be back!!! And shout out to my Chowdown Cincinnati peeps for not steering me wrong by any means!!!! read more

I've been to the OTR Aladdin's location before, but this was my first time I had the Hyde Park Location. When I dropped by, I was quickly greeted and taken to a booth. The restaurant wasn't too crowded during the lunch out (during the week). I ordered "Aladdin's Favorite Combo." The dish consists of: Beef Kafta, Shish Kabob, and Shish Tawook on a bed of seasoned brown rice with vermicelli, served with greens, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and choice of dressing. Everything was pretty good, except the rice which was a little bland. I started with the hummus, which was great. I would recommend asking for the garlic and hot sauces on the side as well to kick it up a bit. The prices are pretty reasonable and you can sample a decent amount of food for not too much money. This definitely won't be my last trip to Aladdin's! read more
