Wow! I found myself at Brier Creek and I asked my AI partner the best place to eat. Aladdin was the recommended spot. I saw several other venues close by and I asked if one of those might be better. Again Aladdin was recommended. I went there and I was blown away. I got the falafel wrap and it was unique and delicious. It didn't make it home so no picture available. I also got the chili and lentil soup. Both vegan and both very delicious! The serving sizes were ample and they gave me a vegan baklava as I was interim their vegan dessert options. The service was top notch and it looks like the seating would be comfortable for two or a small group. I will definitely try them again. read more

Good food, great service, but one thing stood out: I was recommended a wine over the one I chose. It was offered as "more authentic to match the food, same price." It wasn't good - I didn't appreciate being pushed old inventory that had started moving toward the "vinegar" stage. This doesn't deter me from going back - the food is great! - but I will be more careful. read more

We tried Aladdin's Eatery on a beautiful Tuesday night before seeing a movie at the nearby Regal Theater. We were seated right away and Montana was our server, he was awesome! We love Shawarma, so she ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and I ordered beef shawarma plate. It took longer than we expected to get our food, so we asked Montana to have it packaged to go. There weren't many patrons in the restaurant at the time, and most had already had their meals when we arrived. We were able to get our food within a few minutes after asking for it to go and letting them know we had a movie to go to. We did get a chance to eat some of our food before rushing over to the theater. The beef was seasoned well and tender. The lemon garlic sauce was so good. The rice and vegetables were plentiful, plenty of chickpeas. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. My daughter gave the Chicken wrap a 7 out of 10. There were some patrons dining in and several pick up orders during the hour we were there. I'd definitely go back and try some of the other menu options. read more

I really enjoyed my combo meal! The lamb was a little dry, but the chicken was excellent. I definitely recommend getting the garlic sauce As a side because it absolutely is the best part. The pita was thin and dry and overall not my favorite. I think the price is a little high, but I would still definitely go back if I'm craving Mediterranean food. I'm sure overall these things would've been a bit better if I ate inside! read more

A hidden gem! Fresh and good quality ingredients-that's all you need. Juice that's actually made to order from a real fruit/vegetable with no additives. Isn't it sad that it's so hard to find at restaurants? Aladdin's has it all. The juice was delicious and fresh. Everything was very good. My least favorite was the fried cauliflower-it seemed just a little too heavy for me. We've been a few times and will definitely visit again. read more

This place is a hidden gem that we stumbled upon for lunch that was close by. Small intimate and the staff gave great suggestions and descriptions. Everything had lots of flavor! The rolled Dijon chicken was very tasty, the cauliflower was so good. My husband had the steak tuna roll and that was so good that he ordered another one. Next time I'll save room for the smoothies because they have great options. Highly recommend read more

My experience today at Aladdin's Eatery was quite amazing! Firstly, the service was impeccable and very responsive. Being greeted and tended to by Jeffry P made my meal levels better as I had a comprehensive breakdown of the menu and its ingredients. As seen in the attached photos, the food looked great and tasted delicious, I would definitely recommend a pita and their Pitza. Will definitely be eating here again thanks to the 5 star service! read more

Fast! Clean and delicious. The staff was nice offer other item that I might like. Great place

Great takeout option and seems like a cozy place to dine in as well! Highly recommend the cauliflower starter, it was delicious. I also got the Arayiss Pitza which has ground beef, hummus and herbs on a pita "pizza" and it was very tasty. My husband got Jasmine's Favorite with Beef Schwarma and enjoyed that as well. I recommend getting extra sides of garlic sauce too :) read more

Flavor Savor special was so good. Loved the cauliflower appetizer too. Their homemade hot sauce was delicious. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Wendy provided great service. read more

Been here a couple times. Every time we stop by there's always a nice staff member to help us place an order. The food is always hot and full of flavor. Beware it is located in the busy briar Creek. That makes it tough sometimes to find parking, but it's a great place to get food on the quick go. read more

Fantastic service, Jacob was a delight. They have the best falafel in the triangle. Also, to anyone who has gluten sensitivities, this is the place for you. The gluten free selection is excellent. They usually have a cheese cake or two that is fully gluten free. read more

Stopped in here on Saturday afternoon at the busy Brier Creek Shopping area and ordered to go. We chose this eatery among the others because it featured Mediterranean food and looked affordably priced. I chose the Chicken Shawarma Rolled and a side of babaganoush with fresh pita. Baklava was ordered for a family member. The order was filled in a reasonable amount of time. We chose to eat outside in the shade at tables lined next to the restaurant and proceeded to enjoy our meal. The Chicken Shawarma rolled was much longer than anticipated. Filled with moist grilled chicken, onions and tomato, I enjoyed the ingredients enhanced by the lemon tahini sauce. The flavor of the babaganoush contained the right amount of seasoning and the texture was perfect for scooping with the pita. When I'm in the area again and in the mood for Mediterranean, I definitely would order here. read more

Some of the tastiest Mediterranean food I've ever had, hands down. Came later at night after traveling to town, but their service was quick and helpful. Great options for vegans/vegetarians as well! Would recommend for anyone in the area. read more

Went there today and food was good. It was a nice quiet lunch spot and went there for a business meeting. Nothing fancy and very affordable and highly recommend for an easy lunch or night out. Nothing is gonna blow your mind but people were friendly and service was good. The only problem was an entitled and rude customer having a tantrum like a child at the end for a whole bunch of nothing. The restaurant handled the trash of a person well and it was clear the issue was the person and not the restaurant. read more

Aladdin's is a quant spot that never disappoints! Their hummus and grape leaves are wonderful with any meal but I also love to grab them to go as a quick snack. Their service is fine but I like it more as a healthy take-out option. They always have it ready to go on time and the food is fresh. I would recommend trying their chicken pitza, a great meal and even big enough to split if you're not super hungry. read more

First time and will definitely return when in the area. We enjoyed the Spicy cauliflower, Vegetarian combo, lentil soup and Flavor Savor Special. Thanks to the great recommendations of Jacob and the exceptional service provided. This is a must! read more

We've been here a few times and always walking away full and happy! It's a smaller space, but we've rarely had to wait to sit down (at least in the winter). Service is good, can be a little slow when it's busy but more time to chat! The food is always fresh and delicious. I usually sample a few things from the menu, favorites are always spiced cauliflower, hummus, and dawali! read more

The service was outstanding the food was great! Kitty, our server was one of the kindest and most considerate waitress. We will definitely be going back! read more

Delicious Lebanese food! Had the Beef Shawarma Salad and it was perfect. The salad was fresh. The beef shawarma was tender. It was all perfectly spiced with sumach and lemon vinaigrette. Had a side of amazing babaghanoush. Definitely worth the visit. They close early so don't wait! read more

The service here was amazing. I was helped by a wonderful young lady named delina. She was extremely kind and mannerly, what a great reflection of the establishment. read more

Really good Mediterranean food! I got the genie combo and it was so flavourful. Chicken was grilled perfectly on the outside while still juicy inside. The salad, hummus and charred cauliflower - lovely together! Every morsel flavourful!! Service was excellent! I would however have liked a spicer hot sauce, their hot sauce wasn't hot enough (not complaining lol) read more

I was quite excited to try this place out given the fact that this is one of the most Yelp-reviewed place in the RTP region. However, I thought the food and my experience were extremely okay. - Flavor Savor Special - I was honestly pretty impressed by the variety in this dish given the price. There was salad, hummus, pita bread, three types of "meats" (including falafel), and rice. I will say that none of the elements particularly stood out to me, but they were all very solid although I will say that the chicken felt a bit dry. - Chicken Curry Roll - I thought this roll was pretty standard in terms of flavor, but I will say that I appreciate how tightly it was rolled and the fact that they "sealed" where the edge meets the rest of the bread so that the ingredients don't fall out. It's all about the details! Also, the dressing they use was just honey mustard which I love and will use when I make rolls in the future, but didn't think that it was justified with the price. Overall, very okay food. In terms of the experience, I would say that the waiters were all extremely nice and kind but they seemed a bit absent-minded. We had to remind them to bring out the pita bread and also two people decided to take our order. Felt like their system could use a bit more communication. read more

I love Aladdin's! It's been one of my go to spot for dining, especially during the height of the pandemic. Situated in the heart of Brier Creek it was the perfect meetup between my bestie and I who lived on opposites sides of town (Raleigh vs Durham). We'd get a couple bottles of wine and grab a table outdoors, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I've even brought my dog! The food here is delicious, the pita always warm and fresh, the hummus creamy and flavorful but my absolute favorites are anything with their lamb! So so good, and then add their garlic sauce on the side - whew!!! That right there hits the spot, ev-er-y time! Did I mention how nice they are? I have been there maybe a dozen times and I have never not been treated with warmth and kindness. Excellent, attentive service, especially for a more casual dining experience. I just took a work lunch there today! If you're in the area looking for a some great Mediterranean and a good vibe, or a hot cup of tea, try this place out! There's also plenty of seating indoor with additional banquets incase you want to bring your laptop and doing a working lunch! Bon apetit! read more

We went here for Mother's Day as a family and had a wonderful experience. We came later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. They had a Mother's Day special so we ordered three entrees and desserts from that, and we also ordered a chicken curry pita roll and the cauliflower appetizer. The food was all delicious and the service was wonderful. It felt like a family restaurant. There were two younger teens who helped wait on the tables - a sweet girl with glasses and a boy with straight black hair. They greeted us with a smile and worked hard clearing tables and helping serve us. The Oreo cheesecake was to die for. Will definitely come back here again! read more

I visited Aladdin's Eatery in hopes of a tasty and healthy meal: My expectations were BEYOND exceeded!! The Spicy Cauliflower appetizer was exceptional and something I will definitely be craving from now on. The service was AMAZING, our server (a kind woman with a bob) was very attentive and sweet. The other worker (I believe his name was Tareek) was extremely helpful and even gave us some complimentary sweets! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would return if I had the chance. read more

Second time here and still great! Today I had you need kafta. Lost of food for the price and had a bit to take home. Took longer than usual to take our order but came out in about 10 minutes. Dad had the kabob salad which he loved too. Looked so fresh. read more

Deeeee licious lamb wrap with pickled turnips and Lebanese pickles. Lamb was so tender and fresh! Get some hot sauce to go with it.

Great food, service, in a clean nice atmosphere. I would go here again. I had the chicken swarma wrap and it was great!

Good food, reasonable price, friendly service!. Enjoyed the sampler, large enough to share!

Loved it. This is phenomenal food. Great atmosphere. Just ask for their recommendations and go with it.

I was just here and the male with a beard was rude and completely unprofessional. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. Management should train their employees on how to speak and interact with customers. This place deserves negative stars! read more

A "quick bite" feel with seated table service gives this place a somewhat of a paradoxical but potentially endearing quality. I left Aladdin's questioning how my bill got to be $50 for two people who wanted to grab a quick lunch in a strip-mall, but I was not overall unsatisfied as you can see by my rating. On to the food, everything was so good. I had an appetizer platter for my main but it did not disappoint. Little bit of everything delicious! Falafel baba ganoush, hummus, stuff grape leaves...oh man was it good. Actually now that I think about it I wish I could change my rating to 4.5. I just cant justify 5 stars because of the price point...but everything was so fresh...but $2.75 for a soda really bothers me! And $.65 for sauce...it's so nickel-and-dime feeling...the service was good though...im going to say roughly 15-20% over priced and leave my rating at a 4. The food is pretty good though I must say. read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Hummus and tabouli appetizers. - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

A group of us met here for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. The waitress came and got our drink orders, and came back with them fairly quickly. I had the pomegranate green tea which was not sweet, but still very good. I was not offered a refill. I ordered the "house rice" with beef swharma. It was a good sized portion, but I wish it has been served hotter. There was a nice sauce that went with it I liked and they have a hot sauce you can get too. A friend got a piece of baklava cheesecake and we shared it and it was ok, just a small piece, but I would not get it again. The prices were a little higher than my usual mediterranean hang outs, so I dont know that I will try this place again. read more

After seeing all the reviews we decided to try his Shawarma. It taste dry and pathetic. Chicken was burnt. Called the girl on the front, her reply was: it's our marination. So I saved some burnt pieces for this review. When you burnt a thigh piece, you start seeing black color out and long fiber inside. This was my last time!! Bye Mr. Karim and good luck. read more

Aladdin's Eatery - Burnt chicken pieces from Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Solid 5 stars! When you walk in it looks like a fastfood place but they wait on you at the table. We started with the hummus which was super creamy and flavorful. The pita is more like what you would see in Pakistan. It was thin and large. Very easy to use to scoop food up with. We ordered the Flavor Savor Special, the Spicy Kafta Rolled pita and Chicken Shawarma Rolled pita. All were delicious. Again, the pita is thin and was grilled so it had a crunch which was great in the rolled pitas. Be sure to ask for extra hot sauce. It's not that hot but has huge mad flavor. I wish we had one of these in Greensboro! read more
