So glad to have Aladdin's in Cincinnati. The Ali Baba pitza is yummy. Felafels are nicely crisp on the outside and moist inside. Server was helpful. Nice touch to have the manager check in when things got busy. We will be back! read more

Service was great food was even better. Really a good place. The hummus was really good.

Good portion of meals. I recommend the papa ghanoj and the chicken shawarma salad Fear prices read more

For a long time, I've been on the hunt for a Mediterranean or middle eastern restaurant that I just absolutely love. I'm still searching, but Aladdin's Eatery is definitely a contender. The baba ganoush was my favorite. I'm sure I'll be visiting again. read more

Aladdin's has the most amazing Lebanese food I've ever had in my life. And the service was smashing! Can't wait to go back

My favorite eatery and it is healthy! I frequent both Hyde Park and West Chester locations!

One of my favorite places to order takeout from! My go to is the Flavor Savor Special - instead of the chicken & the beef, I prefer just double chicken. It's a great mix of meat, chicken, salad and hummus. Get the homemade hot sauce and garlic sauce, so addicting and delicious! Their falafels are amazing as well. They are very generous with their pita bread so caution on ordering more than what it already comes with. read more

We just had dinner at Alaadin's Eatery and everything was super fresh & delicious. The service was wonderful as well. We will definitely come back many more times! read more

The food is AWEOSME! Best hummus I've ever had. Their cookie dough cheesecake is phenomenal. Also, the V9 soup with chicken is my favorite veggie soup ever. I'll be back many times to hopefully enjoy something new each time! read more

I like to start with something positive if possible and the lamb is superb. That was the only thing I enjoyed. Some in my family said the tabouli was OK for those who enjoy it really tart, but I did not bother with a second bite. One of us ate some of the falafel, but it was far too salty for the rest of us. The babaganoush and hummus bland. We got take out, but after reading that others thought the atmosphere was nice, I was surprised at how ordinary it looked. Most of it went to the compost. All in all, one star is generous! read more

it's good. for some odd reason, I like the west chester store a little bit better, even though this one is way closer to our house. at Westchester, the servers are seasoned/experienced/go the extra mile. In Hyde Park, almost every request was met with the server saying that they "had to ask" if something was allowed, it was a bit annoying when we are used to a more seamless and smooth service at Westchester. The food may be comparable at both locations, but of course, subjectively, the food tastes better with smoother service. read more

Delicious food and good prices. We ordered kebbah and shawarma, they were tasty! I really enjoyed my time there! Employees are so nice and friendly. read more

Excellent food - fresh, tasty, and great value. The service was great - our server Addison was superb. Knowledgeable, personable, kind. Owner came out to visit- could tell her passion and love of the work. Highly recommend. read more

Good food and service...inexpensive and large portions make for a value meal...easy parking...I'll go back for sure...

Very enjoyable. Relaxed atmosphere with excellent food and service. Highly recommend. Hanna, our server was amazing. I had Kibi.

My wife and I discovered Aladdin's earlier this year after a trip to IKEA. We like to eat well prepared food, and often try new restaurants. This is one of the top places we have eaten in America. Rich flavors, good dining experience, classy servers, and fair prices. We have visited from Lexington four times this year. Unusual for us, when there are so many other places to try. But, we realize that we have many more visits before coming close to wearing out the menu options. Don't forget to take a visual tour of the dessert case. If you're too full, I suggest you order something to take with you. read more

Aladdin's has such a large menu and has a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. I always get hummus too bc it's so good!! One of our favorite dining spots, whether the one in West Chester or Oakley/ Hyde Park. read more

Awesome place! Order the Aladdin's Favorite Combo, you won't be sorry and you will get a little of everything. A must try!

Loved the food! Was a little too loud for our tastes but it was close to the end of lunchtime. We will come back again but maybe more so between 2-5 pm read more

Go in and say hi to Patty, the proprietor along with her husband Larry. Two really nice people who work super hard to make sure every guest feels welcome. Great food at a decent price. Very clean, and extremely tasty. This will be one of our regular haunts. read more

Love Aladdin's in West Chester and have been going there for years. Decided to try this new location for an after-work weekday dinner. Overall... meh. The Vegetarian Combo appetizer was not as expected. The falafel was a bit too garlicky (for me) and the rice-stuffed grape leaves were a dud; however, the hummus, I think was good, as my husband devoured it all before I could try! I ordered the Aladdin's Favorite Combo and was greatly disappointed. Half a plate of salad, half a plate of tasteless rice/vermicelli mix, and 1 piece of shish tawook (chicken tender), 1 beef kafta, and 4 (1 inch square) pieces of shish kabob was not worth the cost. Big disappointment. Think we'll stick with West Chester. read more

Their hummus is the best in town! You have to get it with the garlic and hot sauce it is amazing. I also love their pita wraps and the baklava. read more

Went in yesterday for lunch, Weds.. Quick seating, great service, and food! We ordered the Hummus, out of this world. Lamb kabob pitas. Very flavorful. Staff is very attentive. Leave room for dessert. Baklava is awesome and lemon cake. All looked good. read more

As transplanted northeast Ohioans, we sorely missed Aladdin's. Getting one in Westchester was great, but having one nearby is the bomb! Seriously great food. And really friendly staff. Husband and I had lunch there Monday. He loves the vegetarian chili, which he ate along with a house salad. (FYI, house salad is big enough to share.) I had the chicken shawarma rolled. Excellent, as always. If you like Mediterrean food, go to Aladdin's. read more

First time customers. Family dinner - mouths watering in anticipation of the reputed victuals. Quite disappointing considering the many good reviews. Food arrived unevenly after dealing with an uninformed server. One dish was incorrect and required a manger's intervention to get it corrected (comped). All of the food had the appearance, textures, and appeal of commissary mass prefabricated, heat in the bag fare. Ingredients that were stated to be the feature items in a dish were scant at best, It should be noted that when a request was made to slightly adjust a couple of the ingredients, it was stated that they could not be ... one confirmation that the dishes were prefabricated and portioned in a heat and serve bag. Dishes with humus were runny and of a strange fake-appearing color. Quite a disappointment for all of us. read more

I went to Here due to the high yelp reviews but I was so so so disappointed. The free pita bread is bland and dry. It isn't served with any humus or oil so it's just dry bread. The menu is ridiculously large. The place has an identity crisis. Is it a pizza place, a smoothie shop, or Mediterranean food??? Who knows. I got the lamb gyro and it looked like a sandwich from Penn Station. It was extremely bland and the bread was hard and bland again. The only time yelp has let me down so hard. I see the owner reads and replies to all reviews so I encourage him to shrink the menu and make fewer options, but make them well. read more

I've eaten here twice. We are Greek so we typically love Lebanese food as we share many common dishes. First time was at lunch and, based on that experience, I would say 3 stars. Got dinner a few days later and that would be 1 star, hence the 2 star rating. Like many 'ethnic' restaurants in Cincinnati, the food has been dumbed down to the bland Midwest palate. Jasmine's special was mushy, bland and boring. The hot sauce that many rave about tastes like a combination of vinegar and bell pepper, with a strong emphasis on the vinegar. It is not hot at all. Hummus is good, but not spectacular. The pita bread is cold and tough. It comes out a bit warm, cools quickly and turns tough. The Aladdin Salad was really good at lunch - tasted very fresh with the cucumbers and tomatoes chopped into small pieces. The second time I ordered it the tomatoes and cucumbers were in large slices and the greens were limp. It did not taste fresh at all. Lentil soup was bland, it really needed something to kick it up. Chili was a little more flavorful, but not much. Feta cheese was low quality. Desserts look awesome, but are meh. Service was good. read more

We just had this for the first time. I was very happy with the food. I had a hard time deciding on what to order it all sounded so GREAT! this is a must go place. read more

Decided to eat here while on a weekend trip to Cincy due to the good reviews. However I was surprised as I did not feel the food was fresh. The rice was hard and seemed two days old. The chicken was ripped off from a bigger piece and was not very much for the price. The pita bread they used was also not fresh or made by them, rather it tasted exactly like the pita bread I buy from the store. The staff was friendly but the food just wasn't what I expected read more

I try to eat here at least once a week. The restaurant is clean, the staff is very friendly and professional, and the food is excellent tasting and healthy. I am a big fan of the tabouli and the falafel rolled. My only gripe is that sometimes the falafel is quite dry, but nothing a little extra sauce can't cure. Try their homemade hot sauce, too. Yum! read more

Aladdin's is one of our favorite restaurants in Cincinnati! The food is fresh, delicious, and they offer so many options, including vegan and vegetarian, plus tons of desserts! We have always had great service here too! read more

Meal was decent. Would have been nice if waiter checked back occasionally. Had to flag down a hostess to get water refills. Was offered pita. It was rather dry so I requested some olive oil and za'tar (since several menu items listed this spice). When the bill came, they had charged us $2.25 for the spiced oil. Wow. Neither of us was pleased. Could have bought a small jar of the spice at Penzeys for 4 bucks; will carry my own next time!! read more

i have loved this place since i lived in columbus. i am so happy it's here (and close enough for me to go grab lunch during my work day) and SO happy that i have now been there 2 days in a row. not ashamed. :) yesterday i ate there, so i got a side salad and a chicken schwarma wrap with hot sauce added. it was delicious! this morning i woke up dreaming of their chicken dijon wrap, so i called and ordered it for carryout with hot sauce added. it was just as good as i remember. HIGHLY recommend if you want mediterranean - and with a huge menu, they have something for everyone. read more

Love this place!! Food and staff are great. Kabobs & salads are wonderful - AND, the Falafel Pizza is out of bounds!!

I used to LOVE this place. It was my go-to for fresh, healthy food. Boy, was I ever surprised when I got hit with rancid food poisoning from here. I hadn't eaten breakfast that morning, only black coffee, and decided to treat myself to lunch that day at work. I ordered a falafel roll and juice. I got back to work and devoured it, as usual! Within 2 hours I was feeling lightheaded and cold sweating. Then around 4 pm I had to run from my desk at work to the bathroom where I was stuck for the following two hours non stop vomiting. My coworker had to drive me home while I sat with a garbage bag glued to my face, and left my car in the work garage. I have never gotten sick like this in my life. Once home it did not slow down. I wound up in the emergency room dehydrated and in severe pain from vomiting so violently and frequently. They had to put me on an IV drip of fluids and an anti nausea medication over night. Even then I was still gagging and heaving. They did a panel, and I had contracted staph bacterial food poisoning. I know it was from here because it comes on suddenly, only a few hours after ingesting the bacteria, per my Dr in the ER. This was the only thing I had eaten at all that day. Luckily it came on violently but was over within 72 hours, and within a week I could eat normally again. Unfortunately I cannot even drive by and smell this place with out gagging, and falafel has been ruined for me. I tried the falafel sandwich at Senate and couldn't even chew the first bite with out instantly feeling sick. One of my favorite foods has been ruined for me. read more

Service was terrible. The Pita bread was cold, and they took forever to bring our food. The water was never refilled, and we had to go ask the front desk for boxes. I will never ever eat here again. The portions were next to nothing. read more

The food here was pretty good but the service tipped it up to the next star. We placed a Togo order and they were helpful with some suggestions. We told them that we were going to run over to the coffee bar next door and come back for the order. Our order came out quickly, unlike our coffee, and they brought it over to us. We ordered a Shawarma wrap, a Lamb Pita Pizza, and a spinach appetizer. They weren't the best that I have had but even with the long coffee wait from next door and the drive to the park, everything held up really well. If you are looking for Mediterranean that travels this is it. For eating in, the Pitas could have been softer and tastier. I also enjoyed the picked items in the shawarma wrap. They have it a nice taste and texture. If I was going out to a nice Mediterranean meal I would choose someplace else but for a quick stop to take somewhere I would definitely come again. read more

I had dinner here for the first time last night with my husband and friends. I came because of the great reviews and I was not disappointed! We were greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant has a modern, cozy decor. Our server, Stephanie, was the friendliest and most knowledgeable server that I have had for awhile. When my husband asked about the beer selection she was very helpful with steering him in the right direction. We started with the Vegetarian plate as an appetizer and it was delicious. I ordered the garlic sauce, again based on reviews, and it was good too. A word of warning, it is very strong on the garlic flavor and stays with you for a long time afterward. When deciding on our orders, Stephanie again impressed us with her knowledge of the entrees offered and the long lists of ingredients in each. I had the Mediterranean Lamb which was seasoned and cooked perfectly, very tender. After dinner we were tempted by the wide variety of desserts in the front case. I had a chocolate torte cake that was rich and decadent. My husband had an unusual combination of cheesecake topped with Baklava and my friend had the Tiramisu cake both of which were also so tasty. We all rolled out of Aladdin's with full bellies and plans to return! read more

I love this place! The food is really flavorful and delicious, and it's totally possible to eat a lot and still feel like you aren't overindulging calorie-wise (or at least you know your food has some nutritional value) Ingredients are fresh and ambiance is nice. I would like to eat here every week. Try the hummus and beef shawarma rolled pita! read more

I enjoyed Aladdin's for the first time when an office I was visiting ordered from the West Chester location. I have no idea how much it cost, but it was the best "boxed lunch" I have ever had during a business meeting. read more
