After all the years of spending summers out here, there is not a single time where service was lacking. The food is always phenomenal. The kebab combo is one that I always seem to navigate too. It's plenty of food. My dad and I have finally learned after all these years that if we split a salad and a kebab combo, that it's the right amount of food for the two of us to not feel like we're going to explode. On this most recent trip, we got the baklava with strawberries. The baklava was just made fresh and was still warm. This was life-changing for me. I never once thought about heating up baklava??? It melted in my mouth. It was such an incredible finale to such a delicious dinner. I will always, always, ALWAYS stop for a meal at Cafe Gullistan.

Good luck figuring out when this place is open. I cannot tell you how many times I have called or…read morewas waiting outside when they were supposed to be open. Whatever is listed online is not accurate it seems. No voicemail with hours, nothing on the door. Facebook will show they are currently open when they are not. They are not always open when Google or Yelp says they are, so who knows? Not reliable at all. Overall, the food is average. The shish tawook sandwich, baklava, ghallaba, and hummus are good though. Here is some info from previous experiences... I got an order with half the items missing once and have received the wrong order other times as well. I do not like the lentil soup here. I got the lemon tawook and it was way too salty, and I like my salt. Salad is just ok, not worth what they charge. I got a side of beef skewer one day and it was fatty and low quality. Potassium broth is mostly carrot juice here and they put it in 2 cups instead of plastic bottles like other places do. I am used to the Mediterranean food in Dearborn and this is not great. Cheesesticks were gross. It was an odd texture like sawdust/mealy. It did not come with any sauce. Just weird. Unfortunately, this is the only Mediterranean place in the area.

Aladdin Eatery is hands down one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've been to! Every dish was…read moreincredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The rolled pita sandwiches were packed with flavor, the hummus was creamy and delicious, and everything tasted homemade. To top it off, we finished with carrot cake, tiramisu, and baklava--every dessert was outstanding! The staff was welcoming, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food with generous portions and amazing taste, Aladdin Eatery is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I ordered the Aladdin's Combo and small hummus to get a sample of what they do...and I cleaned all the plates without a problem. Often times with Mediterranean cuisine I feel like the meats get dried out. Not here, that was the juiciest lady's I've ever had. I grabbed a piece of strawberry casada (sp?) cake to go. It's all so good. When they brought my food I noticed how juicy everything was...and the aroma! The smell of everything was enough to happy about. Best part, Jazmin took care of me. She is a young mother with endless smiles and great service. She knows the menu well and will remind you of the classic service we all love. Thank you Jazmin! Congrats on your little one.

I wouldn't give it a full star. The nicest thing I can say is clean and charming atmosphere. We paid for one of our two drinks stuffed downing the one we didn't send back. And then had to tell the bartender twice we were not paying for the awful drink. What a shame... this place has potential. They need to hire a professional mixologist and a manager and they could have something good. But they need to totally start over with new staff. Ps... We loved our upstairs bar experience at Black River Tavern!

White bean dish under "salads" was like a can of beans dumped onto plate with a massive burrata on top, no vegetables or even a garnish. This dish was unseasoned and nary a salt or pepper shaker on the table. The muscles were similarly inadequately seasoned - the broth was flavorless. No dish provided for empty shells as is typical for a dish of this type. And one ingredient listed was "butter" but in the key them menu says it's a no dairy dish. Confusing. Smash burger was good.

Yesterday when I went, I discovered that a few of my former classmates actually work there and that was a delightful surprise. It is very quiet inside. I will say the only downfall right now is that their air conditioning is struggling to keep up in the building. That is no fault of the employees but the owner definitely needs to get that taken care of. I will for sure be back next week. It has become a weekly dining spot for me.

They don't display pricing on their website or anywhere else I can find unless you walk in. I paid $16.35 for a chicken kabob bowl but they advertise it for $15.28 on their menu. I paid $4.30 for a fountain drink and they advertise for $4.02. I didn't notice until I left. This is deceitful, other reviewers posted recent pictures of the menu where you can see the displayed prices I referenced and the receipt I got today that shows a different price. I wouldn't recommend for this reason as it's dishonest practice. You can see photos of recent menu prices at the store from other reviewers.
