Gia was such a joy to have as our waitress. The food was amazing as well. I'm in town from Las Vegas NV and I pride myself on having one of best go to Mediterranean restaurants back home. Aladdin's is by far the best I have experience in my LIFE. Chef kiss. Thank you guys for making my trip. The lighting was also great and clean bathrooms along with clean dinning area. Great vibes. Definitely will be back when I return. read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Oberlin - Farrouk's Falafel Pitza - Mediterranean Near Me - Oberlin, Ohio

Maybe because I grew up eating this type of food I'm more critical, but I was very disappointed with the food here. I can't say anything about the service or ambiance because we had take out. All the meat - lamb and beef were so dried out and hard, you'd almost think they deliberately made jerky. None of it was eatable. The "pesto humus" had zero pesto flavor, did they just forget in both orders? I actually tasted mayonnaise, which was very appetizing! The tabouli had what tasted like wine vinegar instead of the traditional lemon base dressing. Either way, it was way too tart. I'm thinking they didn't care about food quality because it was takeout to non residents of the area (we are from San Diego). Perhaps it goes without saying, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

Ordered kibbie plate and rolled falafel pita. They are great especially if this is your only meal for the entire day! Service was friendly and the restaurant is quite cozy. My second time to eat here. It's a chain shop, the other place I went was at West Lake. They served pita bread as free appetizer, it's pretty dry. read more

Dined in for Valentine's Day! We had a great time enjoying a meal for the holiday. They had a special where dessert was included and it was delicious. The restaurant was busy. The staff did a great job of running everything orderly. The food was delicious. And my surprise that the garlic sauce is now cheaper! We tried the chocolate tort and the chocolate mousse cake. Both were delicious! read more

Great spot for lunch, fantastic service and affordable prices. Wide selection of food for everyone read more

Great service! We came in with a large tour group over the summer and I'm still remembering how great the service was. Food was out quickly by request and tasted amazing and authentic. Highly recommend the lentil soup. read more

I can't speak for the food at Aladdin's because I always pick up a carry out order of Hummus and Tabouli. Something my wife loves and tells me it's the best she's ever enjoyed. Picking up the order I asked for Baklava, and I also picked up something called Lady Fingers. I would suggest Aladdin's to drop these two products, they were absolutely the worst I've ever had. I did notice it was produced and packaged from out of state. So, it's really not a product of Aladdin's. Seems Aladdin's could find a much better product made close by in Cleveland. read more

Last night, fifteen minutes before closing, Bradley greeted me and two friends with warmth, grace, and amazing positive energy. We were politely informed that they would be closing soon and allowed to dine in. The music was perfect and matched our amazing host and server (apologies for not remembering his name). Our order was taken and we were reassured we had time to enjoy our meal. As always, Aladdin's did NOT disappoint! We three dined, laughed, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Aladdin's: you have amazing staff and truly tasty food! Special note for Bradley: enjoy this life - every single, beautiful, messy, crazy moment and don't look back! You are fantastic and have the most brilliant inner light. Never allow anyone to dim or minimize it!!! Also, good luck with your studies and don't forget to look into modeling!!! read more

Pretty mediocre food. My kofta pita wrap was dry and lacking in ingredients except for tons of onions. The lentil soup was definitely better. The server was nice but can't really save a lackluster food or ambiance experience. read more

Aladdin's has a plethora of plant-based options, and you can filter the menu on their website by vegetarian or vegan options only which is hugely helpful. There are so many plant-based options, in fact, that I had a difficult time choosing! After much internal debate, I chose Farrouk's Falafel Pitza, which starts with one of Aladdin's pita breads as its crispy and chewy base. The pitza is spread with Aladdin's tahini lemon dressing and then topped with falafel, banana peppers, diced tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley. The dish sounds simple but the flavor of it is anything but. The tahini lemon dressing serves as a creamy base, the falafel add a perfectly spiced, perfectly crunchy element, the banana peppers add an acidic and tangy bite, and the tomatoes and parsley bring a fresh element to the dish that ties everything together. I most definitely can't wait to get back to Aladdin's again to try some of their other vegan fare. My meal was amazing, and I was so grateful to get back to Aladdin's again for a healthy, bright, vibrant plant-based dish. Even more important was the time that I got to spend with a friend who is more like a sister and the opportunity to create a beautiful memory over food. Props to Aladdin's for creating an environment where those who choose to eat differently have the option of sitting down together and sharing time and love over food, because isn't that really what it's all about? read more

Super tasty, vegan friendly, and loved the fact that they have one or two vegan dessert options too! I love a chain restaurant that doesn't feel like a chain? You get the consistency of a chain but with the benefits of a unique location. It's Oberlin, so you know it's going to have good music, and the atmosphere was really comfortable. Enjoyed the way the walls were painted and the art that was up. Again, it's Oberlin so...it was absolutely on-point. The food was phenomenal! Had the Spicy Cauliflower, which I could absolutely eat every day, and the Jasmine's Favorite that was super filling. Had to order some pita and hummus, and that rounded out the meal perfectly. Oh, and they have tasty water with lemon. I know...it's the little things! Overall, I could see this being a favorite while traveling up to this area from Columbus. read more

Passing through, I stopped for lunch, and ordered a curry chicken wrap. Walked around fir a while, went back to pick it up, then went across the street into the park to eat. curried chicken, sweet peas, onions, banana peppers, sliced tomatoes, cheddar, and honey dijon dressing in a wrap; delicious. I was given two large, substantial napkins I needed (nice touch). Good value, very good food. read more

Clean but has odd funky smell. Nice service, very attentive.Food ok. Never got sick from it.

First off, thank you for being on UberEats! I love that I can surprise my Obie with a giant take-out meal that I can order from across the country! This is my Obie's favorite restaurant in town and it's so convenient to Oberlin College campus, right across the street. Great value for a solid, healthy, hearty meal that my kid can pick up and enjoy! read more

I said chicken pizza and they gave me this. It tastes absolutely terrible and has ruined my day. Will not come back. read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Oberlin - Not a Normal Hummus Ingredient - Mediterranean Near Me - Oberlin, Ohio

Okay so I'm visiting from California for a graduation here. Decided to visit this location and try their food. Not gonna lie but Cali has some amazing Mediterranean food so was a bit skeptical on this place. To start off this location was a little small but I didn't care. I was here for the food. I had the falafel and a shawarma. They were really good. I would t say outstanding but good. The service was great except at the end of my lunch I was being rushed out. My poor server was very apologetic but I was not very happy. How can you rush someone when they have not even finished eating. So thanks for the okay food but will not be coming back. I'm a big fan of customer service but this place just lost my vote. So when you're in town if you wanna try them go ahead just be sure you eat fast enough so you aren't rushed out too. read more

The best and most affordable lunch spot in the area! The Taza chicken salad and the curry wrap are both absolutely amazing.

I'll start by saying that Christiana, the manager, was wonderful! She took care of our large order and had it all ready on time and was (is) so nice. The food was really good and the menu is large. read more

The food is pricey....but so worth every penny. The staff are very friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome, seen, heard and appreciated. The food is flavorful and beyond what you expect. I love the big window looking out onto the Main Street and people watching as I eat. I cannot wait to go back!!! read more

Food was delicious and service was great. The staff really hustled! Nice selection of Mediterranean food.

Just ate the superfoods salad with added chicken. WOW Healthiest most satisfying meals I have ever had. Waitress was wonderful, atmosphere was relaxing. My only regret is I live 3.5 away. read more

This is a great place to meet friends that serve healthy food at a good price. The service is always excellent and friendly. I never go wrong by ordering a big platter of Tabouli or a Rolled Shish Tawook. The food is always seasoned perfectly and I've never had a bad meal here. read more

Talk about good food, fresh and fast! I was at a convention and had heard that Aladdin's had good food so I decided to have dinner there one night. I ordered the shawarma salad with Aladdin house dressing and it was So good! I was a member of the clean plate club. Service was good, it was a busy weekend due to the Chalk walk so slower times were to be understood. read more

Aladdin's is always on the list of places I need to visit while in Oberlin. After a long drive I always want fresh, healthy food from here no matter the season. Their salads and soup are so good! read more

Made a bike trip to Oberlin and scheduled a pickup for 4, everyone enjoyed their selections, I had a chicken curry and it was outstanding! read more

We ordered catering for a commencement weekend party and everything was delicious. The staff was wonderful and helpful with ordering the correct amount for our guests. Thank you! read more

Always a treat! The shush tawook is amazing with hummus! I always get this and will always go back

I have recently started to branch out at Aladdins instead of ordering my regular rolls and hummus (which I love) I have started to try some of their dinners. On my most recent trip I had the lamb dinner and it was awesome. Also if you stop at this location and you have Sarah she is the smoothie queen so try a fresh fruit smoothie. All of the aladdins have been regular stops for me and that is unlikely to change. read more

Oh my goodness - what goodness! Had the vegetarian combo plate, and there was food for four! Ordered the pickles - a little pricey for both the turnips and cuke pickles - and also had one kibbe ball. I loved this food SO much - it was fresh, delicious and plentiful Yum! read more

Another five star visit... Came in for a late lunch, and of course my favorite place has been earned by Aladdins. Didn't see anyone we knew right away, so our random server was Gabriel. What a delight! He almost has Maddi tied...I hate to post the tiniest things, because there are starving children in Africa (and the US), and he was great- but he could swing by a bit more often. Really, no issues. Very friendly, polite, came back and asked about my order because it is a little wacky, he did a great job- we just ran out of pita twice. We also saw Chris, and he smiled and greeted us- even though we weren't his, he remembered us and made sure to be courteous. Food order was the same, except my dinner companion just had more hummus and skipped the Chicken Curry Roll. Apparently she thinks there is too much of some sauce, and last time she asked for very little yet she got more, and didn't like it...maybe she should share her experiences. Hummus was excellent as usual, full cup of hot sauce, and you get two olives with the large (their olives are awesome). As usual, Baba Garden Rolled. I finally figured out I don't like the solata. This time they gave extra greens and tomatoes as well as the olives (and a little cup of olives), and it was much fuller, and tasted great. Another excellent experience here, but I do have one little nitpick. When we were being seated, I asked if we could sit in the back, and the hostess clearly didn't care for me asking for another seat. She didn't get an attitude, or snotty, but her body language definitely said "then go seat yourself jerk wad" lol. The place was pretty empty, and if it isn't impeding anyone, I want my back to a wall, a corner, and sight of the door. ----------------------------------- Since my writing of the above, I've been another five times...it's hard to pass up! Unfortunately Chris has left, but I'm having good experiences with Eugene! read more

This is a legit place if you like Mediterranean food. We tried this place for lunch and we liked the food. The appetizers were great (probably one of the best Baba Gannouj I have ever tried). My wife`s Chicken Mishwi Salad was to die for and a pretty large portion. Len-Chili was good, but if you are a traditional Chilli lover maybe this dish is not for you. The meat was tasty and grilled to perfection. Everything was seasoned well. Service, in general, was good, but my server did not change my salad dressing when I said that the one she recommended was too oily and not for me. Again, excellent place if you like Mediterranean food. Everything was fresh and the portion sizes were totally ok. read more

The service was a little shaky even when the restaurant was completely empty. I loved my food though and it definitely worth the price. The desserts are pretty decent but it's not extraordinary. I wish we were checked on more often because we ran out of water quite frequently. The appetizers were very tasty. I would kinda recommend . read more

Loved the cauliflower and the baba ghanouj appetizers as well as the hummus and falafel wrap. We will definitely be back

I went there with 2 friends one that never had middle eastern food one that is picky and considers herself a foodie and me that is somewhere in the middle. We all left very satisfied and would return again the waitstaff was excellent. read more

Excellent food; worth the price. Staff is extremely friendly and competent! Safety measures for COVID-19 strictly observed.

Aladdin's has been in Oberlin for many years now and I still miss Java Zone, which was in the same spot. The food was superb and I wish people here had better palates to realize that it was hands-down better than Aladdin's. read more

Great restaurant. Lots of variety, especially vegetarian options. Seems more authentically middle eastern than other places I've tried. Very interesting flavours, it's probably going to take me a while to taste and understand all of them. For now I've found a standard that works for me and I'm sticking to that read more
