The good, the bad and the ugly is the theme for this review…read more The good = the food! Quick and fresh, Mediterranean food, we really like it especially for the price. The bad = the counter staff. One young girl was one her first day, super polite and lovey. We applaud her effort. The other was rude to many customers and outright told one, she didn't want to be there. They were confused with orders and forgot to bring our appetizer even when we asked twice for it. The ugly = it was dirty. Bathrooms, floors and tables. Our suggestion, get takeout only. Then the service and dirty elements of this place won't affect you!

Looking forward to trying other dishes.

So I guess they want rich people eating here. It's so sad how poor the quality is now compared to the good old days. My burger was gross - it was overcooked like bad fast food and greasy AF. I will never return here due to the food alone. There is no table service - counter order and pick up. You'll likely eat at a greasy dirty table bc it's self-clean and most patrons DGAF. The food took a while to get so if you're in a rush, don't bother. The ambiance is run down bc nobody takes care of it - Dusty fixtures, greasy finger prints, and as, expected dirty outdoor furniture. So sad.

We visited Lansing, MI food establishment number 302 today - Beruit Kitchen in the Lansing Shuffle…read moreClub. While the whole menu, including some of the more traditional offerings (Kafta, shawarma, etc) looked amazing, I was quite curious to experience their take on a Gyro. Now Lansing has a lot of great Gyros, and we've tried a lot of them in our journey of eating at over 300 local places..... but I have to inform you all that today, my personal "Best Gyro in Lansing" slot changed hands. Many gyros are bread-heavy with the thicker pita breads, but I think what allowed this one to take my "best gyro" designation was really the thinner Lebanese-style pita bread, which made for the perfect compliment for the traditional gyro fillings, and the whole thing was cooked on a press until crunchy and served with a salad.

This place is over an hour away from my home and worth the drive. I always did take out until recently. Cute, not super big, but comfortable. Service is fast. Employees are polite, not warm and fuzzy but not rude. They are about business and will make sure your order is correct whether dine in or take out. So they are alright with me. There is even a section where you can buy mixes and sauces and merchandise and the such. I am a fan.

Not the biggest fan of Woody's, though my companions love the place. Haven't eaten there in a…read moredecade but was happy to see nothing's changed. I'd ordered Haswi with two sides, it was pretty much seasoned rice with a few crumbs of beef and big dry chunks of chicken white meat mixed in. The tabouleh was soaked with vinegar, but the soup was nice, a flavorful, albeit tangy, potato soup. My companion had a dish that was a mix of spinach, onion and feta wrapped in filo dough and she said it was inedible from all the onion and vinegar. I took it home and heated it up, yes, it was indeed inedible. Into the trash it went. I appreciate the authenticity of the offerings, I'd wished they'd offered a description of what each dish was rather than us standing there looking everything up in Google. But the staff was friendly and very accommodating, the place was clean and bright, and if my friends want to go back I'll go with them.

Aladdin's is a great, casual lunch spot in downtown Lansing, whether you want to eat in or take it…read moreto-go. It's a little dark inside, but that's offset by how warm the people are. My first time there, a woman was on the fence between two items so the friendly man working the counter said he could do half/half, all for the same price. I really appreciate that, and kind of wish I'd done that, since there are so many yummy-sounding things I want to try out. So far, I've had a lamb kabob over rice and the meat kibbee sandwich on two separate lunch occasions. I got hummus as my side, which is wonderful because they basically let you have unlimited pita. It's a little dangerous, since I definitely don't need that many carbs, but it's free and right there in a basket for the taking, individually plastic-wrapped. I love it. Their hummus is solid. The over rice options are definitely heavier than the sandwiches, but I think flavorwise, I liked the meat kibbee a little more. Kibbee is made of bulgur, minced onions, and finely ground meat with Middle Eastern spices. I think this was ground beef, but I can't remember. I'm definitely glad I added this to my lunch rotation, and will be back to try the rest of their menu. My coworkers also got their lunch here and were happy with what they got. They also have ample vegetarian options, if you want to avoid meat.

Aladdin's express location is a personal lunch time favorite. I typically call it in and they often…read moredeliver it to my office without hesitation! I often get the fattoush with chicken and what impressed me original was that I could request no tomatoes on my salad. This may sound odd however most middle eastern restaurants make fattoush salads by the sheet pan because it's a hot item and you can't make substitutions. The fact that I can, shows that each salad is freshly made!

When I visited, it seemed like there were a good amount of regular visitors (staff knew their orders) and newcomers. The food is Middle Eastern style staples built into pita sandwiches, salads, or rice-based bowls. As a regional chain, dishes are named after Michigan cities. It's set up like production line (think Subway, Chipotle, and the like). The interior of the restaurant is spacious and reminiscent of a typical fast food of fast casual place.
