So last Friday night we went Mediterranean again per my request. And it was Aladdin's on park Ave. so we walked in waited a couple minutes and we asked to sit outside but it wasn't open yet. So we sat on the 1st floor on the other side of the stairs at the round table there. It was nice and it wasn't crowded yet. We had the place to ourselves for a little while. So we both ordered and he got the shrimp/chicken/beef Kebobs and I got the Mediterranean golden rice with broccoli m/mushrooms/onion and Greek salad plus homemade hummus which was delicious. The owner took our order and then waiter took care of us for the entirety of the meal. It was nice night out and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Interesting middle eastern spot. Sorta feels like a Jersey diner in there but the food alone earned a 10/10. Portions are huge and everything tastes healthy & flavorful. We loved the falafels (tasted like they make them in house) and the chicken & tenderloin combo plate. Servers were nice. Ambiance is a little outdated and the layout of the restaurant is awkward. We parked on the street and walked up the stairs inside to find their to go station. We waited for awhile before a server noticed us and told us to sit anywhere. Don't let the ambiance or entrence fool you. The place has great food and it's worth checking out read more

I really enjoyed Aladdin's Eatery grilled shrimp Greek salad. They have the best balsamic dressing, and every time I'm in town, I make sure to stop by. Their hummus is also very good. read more

Sometimes your body tells you that it's time to pay attention to it and eat some greens ; this was this day. All I wanted was a salad; and then I wanted tabbouleh....So I got both. My husband went with the beef plate (pretty much a salad, too). My soul was happy. read more

I've gone here twice now and ordered the same thing, the chicken combo plate. I could eat this platter of mixed veggies and delicious chicken every day of my life. I'm not kidding! It's one of those dishes that leaves you full, satisfied and still *healthy* feeling. I absolutely love their Greek dressing too. Don't be fooled, a little tiny cup of it, goes a long way! Our food came out very fast and our server was friendly. Definitely recommend checking this spot out and of course, ordering the chicken combo too. read more

If you know what tzatziki is, you know it's a dip. So if you see tzatziki on the menu in the soup section, you're going to assume it's a rendition of tzatziki in soup form. Well, that's not the case at Aladdin's! When ordering the tzatziki, my friend clarified that it was a soup, because she was intending to have it as her entree. The server said yes, only giving warning that it was served as a cold soup. So we were imagining a gazpacho and were surprised when it was served as literal tzatziki in a large bowl with minimal to dip in it - my friend had to request pita/veggies so that she could even consider consuming it. The other items we got were on the spectrum of okay (Falafel Pita) to good (Chicken Pita Wrap) to great (the Pasta dishes), so we're not saying don't choose Aladdin's, just be aware! The ambiance is kinda cool with multiple floors, but also weird in that some of the tables are really close together. It felt like our meal took a long time to come out, even the Dolmades appetizer, so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush. read more

Aladdin's has always been a go to spot for whenever I'm craving lighter fare, healthier Mediterranean food. I love their fresh salads, sandwiches, hummus and platters. Prices are reasonable. The restaurant has a good amount of seating, including some outdoor seating on their balcony. Service is good, but very often slow. read more

I absolutely love Aladdin's! I would recommend going to the Monroe Ave location over Pittsford. They're the same name but different owners and the food imo on Monroe is wayyyyyy better. The food is excellently priced. 5 dollar house wine glasses and a bottle of wine will run you 26 dollars which is unheard of these days. I love the limone pasta and they have a gluten free penne option. The tzatziki sauce is super fresh with chunks of cucumber. Asked for it on the side with our pita rolls. Also the baba as an appetizer is that perfect Smokey eggplant taste. And all of this with such cute ambience and affordable prices. Only downside is parking can be tough around 5-8pm. You can either park on the street or behind the building so plan accordingly. read more

My wife and I ate here while visiting University of Rochester. We. Loved. It. We arrived and were seated on the top floor on the front patio. It overlooked a busy steeet, but it was still quaint with an awning and the sun setting over the buildings. We started with the vegetarian combo appetizer. We had hummus, taboulee, baba, and spinach. It was delicious. Plenty of pita was served it, and everything was super fresh. Alladin's has a great menu, and items are appropriately labeled as gluten free and vegan. For dinner, I had a falafel pita wrap and my wife had gazpacho. The food arrived quickly and was super fresh and tasty. Everything was perfect. Two waters to drink, and the server kept the water glass full. Here's the best part: the app, soup, and pita wrap dinner was filling, and the total bill was just over $37.00 (with tip). When you're in Rochester, you cannot go wrong with Alladin's. read more

A friend and I dined here last night before attending a concert in the city. Everything on the menu looked so delicious, it was hard to choose. I ended up having the Lamb Gyro Plate with Tahini Dressing and a vinaigrette as well. Everything was fantastic and our server was super attentive. I'm looking forward to returning in warmer weather to take advantage of the gorgeous views and walks along the canal. read more

Back when I was a student in Henrietta, in the late 80s, I was a server at another restaurant. When I had a Sunday off, I'd drag my bf to Aladdin's. We would eat everything we ordered, plus dessert. I moved away, all along the east coast, and then Midwest to Chi. Then I moved back to care for my mother. The best part of this experience is in WNY is revisiting this restaurant, via takeout. As a caregiver, takeout is a lifeline. The lentil soup is still great. The chicken pita roll is just as wonderful. The vegetarian combo is amazing, and you get your money's worth with the gyro plate. My only regret is not being able to eat at Aladdin's every few days. I'm in Niagara County, and they are in Monroe. This is not 5 stars for ambience or a Michelin star recommendation. It's 5 stars for continuity, quality, and reliability. Everything on their menu is delicious. I've tried it all! It's part of who I am. Thank you ever so much, Aladdin's - I truly appreciate you all. From back of the house to front, you nail it. read more

Absolutely love the limone pasta. They have gluten free pasta, which is a huge plus. I have only ever ordered take out, and have never been disappointed. The order is always ready on time. read more

Great food, feels healthy and clean. Get the veggie sampler plate and you won't regret it. GF doesn't like the Dolmades but that's personal preference.. If you like this style food then you will like this place. Prices are ok, patio seating when it's nice out.. Have been going here for a while, never disappoints. read more

I love Aladdin's! Everything I have ever tried there was good! I recently tried their pasta (from the Schoen place location) and it was fantastic! I always thought I'd only like pasta from an Italian place, but I was wrong! I got the toretllini in basil pesto, and it was fantastic!!! I've also had their hummus, spanokoptia, salad and pitas, and they're all good. I usually go to the Schoen place location mainly because it's so hard to park at the one on Monroe. I had never noticed before, but the prices are actually a lot cheaper at the Monroe restaurant, so I might try to go there more often. I usually pick it up to take home, and it's annoying to have to park far away and walk just for takeout. But to save me $5 or more, I'm going to have to try it. :) read more

Food here is always fresh, and tasty Greek meals. They have cheap glasses of house wine always available. There is also outside seating during the summer where you can sit under an awning and look over the street. They are usually super quick to get food out. I've come here sooo many times hanging out on Monroe Ave and always bring people here if I'm checking out the shops or stores for the afternoon. The gyro is always a good staple. Staff is always friendly. Very reasonably priced as well!!!! Favorite spot to eat dinner/ lunch in Rochester read more

I really enjoy this Aladdin's location and generally have a good experience! I've done both takeout and dine in pre-Corona and find myself always coming back around to some of the same dishes and options. Pita pockets, grilled gyros, lentil/chili with chicken, and their delicious chicken salad. I know it seems odd to go for Med food and order chicken salad, but theirs is really delicious and served with a huge bed of sprouts, fresh veggies, and yummy pita. Big fan! In the winter, the lentil chili is simply the best. I've tried to recreate it at home to no avail. Super well seasoned and packed with potatoes. Their grilled gyro pita is super filling! I will say I don't get the vibe that cleanliness is a high priority from this spot. It is an awkward three story building and I often just feel like it is a little...drab? Is that the right word? I don't know. I still always really enjoy it but find it hard to choose this spot over a cedar or any of the other great greek spots teaming up and down Monroe Ave. Overall - a fine spot to hit up with a group, but might suggest taking the extra drive to the Pittsford location for more ambiance! read more

Aladdin's is the best Mediterranean spot in Rochester and one of my all-time favorite restaurants - you really can't beat it! From the Baba, to the Chicken Salad Salad, to the homemade baklava - it's all amazing. The vegetables and ingredients are always fresh and the portions are impressive - you definitely won't leave hungry! Not only that, but the service is always on point - fast and very friendly, and the interior of the is full of beautiful live plants and a gorgeous covered balcony that looks out over Monroe Ave. Pro Tip: There's parking in the back This is the place to go if you're craving Greek or Mediterranean. read more

Today we were in Rochester for a dr's appointment and we were in the mood for some Greek/Middle Eastern food. After checking out Yelp, we decided to give Aladdin's a try. Well we were absolutely thrilled at the service, the quantity and quantity of the food. We started with an appetizer of Dolmades and Baba Ganoush. Both came with Feta cheese, fresh vegetables and pita bread. The grape leaves were wonderful as was the Baba Ganoush. Fresh and flavorful and delicious! I had the Souvlaki plate which consisted of a skewer of tender, grilled Souvlaki over a huge platter of salad with amazing grilled onions, fresh vegetables, feta and of course the Greek olives. This was a meal and a half. My wife had the Chicken Salad platter which was a heaping serving of Chicken Salad alongside a huge salad which like mine was fresh and delicious! The Greek dressing was excellent! We both took home food but we had to try the Pistachio Baklava. It was tender, flaky, moist and redolent with honey, buttery flavor and filled with Pistachios. Our server was Ava and she was helpful and skilled at her job. This was a reasonably priced meal and we will definitely be going back! read more

Yum! I got the rice platter with chicken that came with salad and hummus. For the Amount of hummus it only came with one small chip sized pita. Portion overall is pretty big - with tip and tax I paid about $16 for a filling meal. When we ordered they were out of a few things which was a bummer, even though we arrived at opening hours. Parking might be tough in busier hours- there's a shared free lot in the back otherwise street parking. read more

I've been here many times and am never disappointed. I generally have vegetarian when I'm here. A friend/dinner companion is vegetarian and I go with the flow. Besides, there is so much vegetarian to choose from and it's so tasty why not? The wait staff is always helpful and friendly. The food is great. My friend and I share an assortment of items so we can enjoy a smattering of more. The Falafel, Dolma, Hummus, Salads are all very good. The Melanzana is great as are the other pasta dishes. Dessert - Lemon Blueberry Cake, Traditional Walnut and pistachio Baklava are all featured. Come when hungry and sample the appetizers, salads, and entrees. read more

I've dined at the Aladdin's in Corn Hill before, but this was my first time going to the one on Monroe Ave. I was pleasently surprised by the welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the melanzanga which was outstanding and served with a very very large side salad. I wasn't a fan of the house dressing that accompanied it, but our server offered tziki in it's place and that was also not as good as expected. My friend ordered a chicken ceaser salad and said it was phenomenal. Overall, I'd recommend going to Aladdin's if you are in the Monroe Ave area. The food is good, reasonable and you're likely to find something on the menu that you will like. read more
