Stopped in for a quick snack after Pedicures at Jennifer & Company and dress fitting at Cybeles alterations. We let our server Marley know we were in a time crunch and if we would have enough time for the vegetarian appetizer sampler and she said we would. She was very efficient with our drinks, order and check. This was a great customer experience and the food was excellent!!! read more

This place is a gem - such fantastic food! I recommend it to all! My husband gets their carry-out 1-2 times per week. He is obsessed!

Ran in for some takeout! Love the spicy cauliflower and the mujadara plate. The carrot cake was bland with few nuts but if that is your preference, you will love. Disappointed that when I got home, there was no tzatziki or tahini included with the mujadara plate. If you are ordering take-out, recommend asking for it and not just assuming. read more

I've been to Aladdin's three times. The first time I didn't know what I was doing so I wasn't impressed with the lamb because it was very tough. Another time I talked with a gentleman who helped me navigate the complex menu items. I forgot the name of my food choice, but I would definitely go back and get the same thing again. The desserts are outstanding and they have the traditional baklava. The ambience was mediocre and unassuming. The service was above average. read more

What a nice change from the typical burgers and sandwich shops. The food is very good and well proportioned. Tip--order 3 plates to share among four people. read more

We were a group of about 16 people on a Wednesday evening, called a few days ahead. Food was very good, as always. In my opinion, they have the freshest and best humus. I got a Mediterranean shish kabob entree that came with rice. It was delicious. Everyone seemed to be happy with the food. Service was a little slow but I believe there were only 2 or 3 servers working that night. They weren't packed but there were a few other tables besides ours. It was a little slow getting refills on drinks and getting our checks, but overall, not bad. They always have good food and service, prices are reasonable. If you're looking for food that is fresh, something a little different and somewhat healthier, I would definitely try Aladdin. read more

We went at lunch time, first customers. Very clean and well lighted restaurant. Bathrooms perfect. Excellent food the three times we have eaten here. If I had a complaint it would be the nano type bread given should be accompanied by an olive oil dish or something like that. Too dry and plain. Lots of takeout orders being prepared and set to be picked up. I would add I wish the waitresses were more involved in making sure us customers r acknowledged, appreciated. Too much them chatting with each other. I find no warmth there. But great food, huge portions. read more

The freshest and most delicious meals I love having. The service is friendly. It's a warm and inviting atmosphere.

I grew up on Aladdin's in Cleveland. My family is Lebanese. I've eaten at this location once, it was good. My second experience is through a togo order and I'll never order from here again. We ordered the REGULAR sized tabouli, and I ended up not eating any of it because the portion was soooo small, I let my mother have it all. I would've felt bad taking any away from her. It was not worth $8.50. The hummus was also extremely runny. It also had a tomato and cucumber inside of it which this never happens at any other middle eastern restaurant I've been to . Just seems like they are trying to take up some volume. I eat middle eastern food all the time, and I usually always love it. We really felt like we were ripped off and it's frustrating to get home to a small portion when we paid for a regular. read more

This is just a review for the takeaway as I have never dined in, but gotten taken away a number of times. The food is amazingly delicious. Having never had food like this before, I was a little apprehensive when a co-worker ordered here, but I ended up being so surprised in a good way. read more

Aladdin's is always a fantastic choice for quality food. Has a vast menu of options to choose from. One of my go-to's when in the area.

This was our first time at Aladdins. A good friend had recommended it, and we were nearby so we decided spur of the moment to give it a try. My husband and I both prefer a plant-based diet and love Middle Eastern foods. I ordered the falafel rolled and the superfood salad. We split both meals to try both. I must say, we were very impressed with our meals and look forward to returning. Our server, Ninah went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and we greatly appreciated the treats we received at the end of our meal. I will add that we don't eat out very often as we're somewhat spoiled by good, healthy, home cooked meals. However, we are already looking forward to a return visit to try more of your delicious dishes! The dressing that came with the salad was very good. I think next time I would like to drizzle some over the fixings in my falafel rolled :-) Great food for a fair price with stellar service in a nice comfortable, clean atmosphere. The restroom was also nice and clean which is an important part of the five stars I am giving Aladdin's Mentor. read more

Aladdin's is delicious - the food and the dessert. If you've never viewed their dessert display, stop in! Everything is delicious, and there are typically young people serving who have all been incredibly polite. Casual atmosphere - it's a family space for sure, or a great place to stop with an old friend! read more

I absolutely love everything here! Perfection! So fresh and delicious and the staff couldn't be better!

I love Aladdin's, I just wish it was a little cheaper. The food is great, and it has a casual atmosphere that you can be comfortable in whether you're out with family, kids, friends, a date or even alone. There are several locations around Cleveland. I've tried a few of the menu items and everything has been delicious. On my most recent visit I had the beef shawarma salad and we ordered a large hummus for the table of 3 of us. The large hummus was large, we barely made a dent in it. My salad was delicious but I felt it was a few dollars too expensive for a plate of lettuce and a small-ish portion of beef. Taste alone, though, I have no complaints! The sandwich wraps are probably a better deal than the entrees and salads. They are around $6-7 and big enough to make a meal. From what I hear the family that owns Aladdin's is somehow related to the folks who run Sittoo's which I personally feel is much more reasonable in price and equally delicious. The same salad that is $7 at Sittoos is $12 at Aladdin's. But hey, sometimes location and convenience is everything. read more

A friend and I had the Aladdin favorite combo and the vegetarian combo and shared the plates. Completely impressed the flavors and spice were bold and tasteful the meats cooked correctly and the grape leaves were awsome. The dressings were spot on read more

Came in on New Year's Day for lunch ordered the tabouli, feta, sfiea, hummus was amazing per usual whenever I'm in Ohio. I always make a stop here. My server was Paris and she was an amazing sweet girl. I'll be back next time. I'm in Ohio., read more

I have ate here two times now and both experiences were the same. Food is so so or worse at times depending on what you order. Food is edible but I don't know how there can be more than two or three stars it doesn't make sense. read more

They have various locations around cleveland. They have been in business for a long time and specialize in Lebanese, gluten free and vegetarian food. Quality food and fresh ingredients reasonably priced. read more

Aladdin's is always so delicious! Hummus is a no brainer every order! Sharma pitza the best! The service is always attentive and polite. The salads are gigantic so you always have leftovers for later. read more

While we love Aladdin's eatery, I can't say the same about this particular location. The shawarma sandwiches we got had slices of rotten onions, and the sandwiches smelled and tasted horrible. I hope that's a one time thing and management will take these quality issues seriously and take necessary measures. read more

Excellent food! I would eat here every day if I could afford it. Everything we've ordered has been fresh and great flavor. I would love to know their recipe for the hot sauce! read more

Great food, large variety. Service is good and quick. Always one of our favorite spots for dinner.

The food was fantastic! Great selection! The rolled pitas were great! My husband had the lamb and rice and it was very good.

Really, really good food, authentic food - ordered several times and never disappointed. One of our favorites.

Stopped in today for take out desserts for the men in my life... ok, I had some too. I've had lunch here a few times and always admire the dessert case but manage to pass it up. Everyone had a sweet tooth tonight, so I went on a run. There were a few gluten free choices and a lot of flavor variety. We aren't gluten free but tried the gluten free cake. It was actually my 14 year olds top choice of the four! It had cherry filling and a fudge icing. The limoncello cake was lite and lemony with a very refreshing, sweet taste. The brownie cheesecake was rich and decedent without being overly sweet. It is heavy enough though to share a piece with someone. The carrot cake was a perfect mix of slightly dense with a nice crumb. It had good spice flavor without dry fruit added. It did have small pieces of walnut but nothing that got in the way of the cake texture. The cream cheese frosting had the perfect amount of sweetness. When I've eaten in house, I enjoy the house hummus plate and vege plate. I'm not a big fan of some of the other dishes I've tried, but the ingredients are always fresh. The pita does seem on the dry side to me. There were several pickup orders going out when I was there. They make fresh juices and smoothies also with whole ingredients. I'll have to try one sometime. The restaurant ambience is kind of blah. This seems like an ideal place for healthy takeout dining. read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Mentor - 12 desserts in the case, had to narrow it down to four - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

PROs: As a local chain, you can always count on similar menus of reliably good food. The menu is long and varied, so there are many options for a variety of eaters as well as reasons to return. However, all of the meals are different combinations of the same ingredients, which is a good sign for freshness. They've updated their menu, adding some creative bowls. The food is good for sharing and travels well to the beach at Headlands State Park. Bring a reusable grocery bag to pick up your take out order! They will happily use it and ASK if you would like plastic cutlery rather than just stuffing it in. CONs: The vegetarian combo had barely a tablespoon of taboulie in it - very disappointing. The lamb salad came with a tiny portion of small, tough, chewy, over-cooked cubes of meat. The food is quite flavorful compared to anything you're going to find in the area (or most of the Midwest, to be honest), however it is still very dialed-down to accommodate the American palate. I wish you could order things "flavored" or "spiced" the way you do "spicy" or "hot" in some places. It's pretty pricey: 15-20$ for a lunch entree! read more

I ordered a take out of a hummus garden roll. They must have had a trainee make it without any supervision! I arrived back home and when I took the wrapper off, the pita was cracked all over! there was veggies spilling out of all the cracks and it was not sealed!! I didn't see or taste any hummus! Very disappointed. It will be a long time before I go back there for my once favorite wrap! read more

Strawberry smoothies are awesome. Perfect sweetness to it with the honey in it. The veggie chili and V-9 soup are tasty as well. The hummus is good with fresh parsley and oil drizzled on top. read more

My girlfriend and I ordered Aladdin's through DoorDash. When the delivery driver dropped off the order, we saw that it was the wrong order and immediately called the driver. The driver said that there was nothing he could do about it. We then called Aladdin's and I had the pleasure of speaking with a lady named Leslie. We told her about our uncooperative DoorDash driver and she went above and beyond trying to help us get the order fixed, as well as called DoorDash for us to make sure we hat DoorDash refunded us. Leslie helped turn a horrible experience into a positive one and we cannot thank her enough. If you want great food and fantastic customer service then Aladdin's is a must try. Thank you again Leslie and Aladdins read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Staff was attentive and informative. The tiramisu was absolutely amazing!

My wife and I have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time, and we finally made it. We were shown our table and before we were even seated we were asked what we wanted to drink, which I thought very unusual. We gave our waitress our selections. She came back promptly and asked if we were ready to order, which we weren't since they have many dishes on their menu and this was our first time there. She seemed put off by this since we weren't ready when she was. When we made a decision on our meals, she was busy with other tables, which is fine. When she came back, my wife ordered the beef shawarma, and I had the falafel appetizer. She never checked on us at to see if we wanted more tea or water. I want to point out that restaurant was not busy, there were only 13 customers, including ourselves. There were a total of 3 or 4 waitresses at the time, so it is not like they were slammed or anything. When our order came, she never checked on us again to see if everything was ok. Another waitress came and asked about our order, but by that time it was not relevant. My falafel was ok, just not my cup of tea., so I left it. The beef shawarma was very good. The portion was huge, enough for 2 or 3 meals, so we took the rest home. It took some time for our waitress to come back to the table to give us a take home container and the bill. She had to be flagged down by one of her co-workers to take care of us. I just think that the priorities they have as far as their duties doesn't include taking care of their customers first and foremost. Cleaning and setting up tables seemed to be a priority over customer service and satisfaction. Their menu looks interesting, and I am sure very good by the very many positive reviews I read before going there. No matter how good their food may be, the dining experience was ruined by the inattentive waitress. I only gave them a one star due to service we received, not for the quality of the food. read more

We love Aladdin's. But tonight our food was mediocre. Overdone Beef Kafta, wilted salads, and a tough rolled pita. We do appreciate the curbside delivery. And the hummus was #1 as usual. The Kibbies were delicious like always. I'll never say we won't be back, because it's always been one of our favorites. Just a little disappointed this time. read more

Aladdin's is wonderful if you are looking for Mediterranean! While a chain, this restaurant is always pleasant with great food and service. You can sit down or order carry out. Favorite dishes: the Greek pizza, the dawali rolled, chili, of course the hummus. Also love their garlic sauce and hot sauce! read more

I love to eat healthy so this was a great place for me. The flavors and herbs they use to season their dishes are like no others. Their pita bread was delicious and they had some pretty darn good looking cakes. read more

Love this place for an inexpensive healthy option when I don't feel like cooking. The best place to come to if you're a vegan or vegetarian and looking for options besides the typical salad or frozen veggie burger. We always start with the hummus and their house made hot sauce...SO good. The pita is endless, but f you're looking to cut some calories, try the veggies. Always fresh and they give you a nice variety. We always tend to have a different server when we come here, so I have a feeling there's a high turnover rate. Even so, we always receive friendly service. read more

Great free range chicken, gluten free, fresh, fantastic food. Baba gnoush (I'm sure I spelled that Wrong) was yummy. Garlic sauce yummy, shishkabob yummy...if you love Mediterranean...you must come here read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Mentor - Gluten free cheesecake, and ones that are not gluten free! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Excellent food and service! I got the shish kebab platter and it was delicious, the beef was so medium rare it melted in your mouth! The garlic sauce was amazing! The desert cabinet was nearly pornographic! Five or six different cheesecakes, the same selection for regular cakes, and other selections like truffles, tiramisu, blueberry bars, etc. The menu boasts a raw juice selection, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc! I wish we had one of these back home! My only complaint is that the atmosphere was a bit McDonald's like when the food deserved better ! I wish it was a little more cozy! read more

I read the reviews before I ordered through DoorDash. Ordered the lamb pita which was overcooked, had 2-3 small pieces of lamb inside, pita was also over toasted. My children's chicken and cheese pitza also overcooked, falafels overcooked. I'm not sure what happened but I was very disappointed in the food. Flavors was there but execution was horrible. read more
