This is a very nice place to come and eat outside on the deck overlooking the Erie Canal. Had a great atmosphere. There was some live music playing in the common area along the canal, which I got to listen to. The view was nice. Staff was quick and friendly. The food was pretty good. I thought the hummus was very good. The falafel was just OK. But the Mediterranean salad was delicious. They're dressing was excellent. Could've used a few more olives other than that no complaints. I didn't get any of the dessert, but it looked awesome. Maybe next time. I strongly recommend coming here if your looking for some outdoor seating on a nice summer day.

I have mixed feelings about Aladdin's Natural Eatery in Schoen Place (Pittsford)…read more Pros: Vegan options exist. Outside seating by the canal is nice when the weather cooperates. Our server was reasonably friendly and efficient. Cons: They make it difficult to wait for a table. Pita bread is low quality. Chili was disappointing. They were out of falafel when we last visited. The setting is the best thing going for this place. Our table was outside near the canal, the weather was warm, and sitting by the water was quite pleasant. The problem is that the restaurant doesn't make it easy to wait for a table. They won't serve you a drink while you wait, and they won't call or text you when your table opens up, so you can't slip next door to the bar for a drink without risking your spot. The vegan options are limited but real. The veggie combo plate lets you pick either three or four items from falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, tourlu, sautéed spinach, and tabulee, and there's also a falafel pita pocket. I've sampled all these items before, and they all taste good, but most of it isn't very filling. The falafel is the exception, which made it a problem that they were out of it the last time I visited. We didn't find out until well after we'd ordered. Four of us at a table of six had ordered items with falafel, so we had to scramble for replacements. It seems unusual for a Middle Eastern restaurant to run out of falafel. The pita bread is a real letdown. It comes from a commercial bakery, and it's so soft that it doesn't have the firmness to scoop up hummus or baba. It also just doesn't taste very good. A restaurant like this should really be baking its own. I ordered a bowl of chili along with my combo plate. The chili arrived a few minutes after the combo (I was hoping it would come out first), and it was disappointing. It was very liquidy without many kidney beans, the portion was small for a bowl, and the flavor was mediocre at best. Our server was friendly and attentive, though he didn't know whether the tahini sauce was vegan. It turned out not to matter, since the tahini was meant to accompany the falafel we never got. I left somewhat disappointed and still hungry.

Will have to make this our new anniversary spot.

!!!!CASH OR CHECK ONLY (no joke and they have an ATM inside)!!…read more So we finally got to check this spot out in Pittsford on Schoen Place. I'll be honest, we completely missed it at first (our fault!), but it's actually across from Label 7 or Level 7 or whatever it's called. The restaurant offers both indoor seating and snd area for outdoor dining during warmer weather. It's a smaller space but has a nice, casual feel, with Greek-inspired photos and decor on the walls. They seem to do a steady mix of dine in and takeout. We arrived around 5:15 PM on a Saturday, and it quickly filled up. Service was good, though it appeared to be just the owner and one other person running tue front of house they were definitely hustling. The menu is fairly extensive, though I'm not sure how many vegetarian options are available. We started with the fried calamari, which came with lemon and a dipping sauce (possibly garlic). It was good, though not standout. For my entrée, I ordered a platter with gyro meat and chicken, served with rice, tzatziki, and salad. The flavors were solid, but the rice was unfortunately lukewarm. I asked for extra tzatziki, which came in handy because my husband's gyro sandwich didn't include any, something that surprised us. Thankfully, I had enough to share. He did enjoy his meal overall and said the fries (ordered on the side) were tasty, though $6 for a side of fries felt a bit steep. Whatever I also had a glass of Greek white wine, which I enjoyed. Their wine and beer selection is small but decent. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere welcoming. Just a heads-up: it's cash only, and because of the limited space, it's probably a good idea to call ahead if you're going with a group. Parking is shared in the area. I'd come back.

The dining room is on the smaller side and has a combination of booth/table seating. Our server was very helpful and happy to answer our questions on menu items. We all ordered wraps for lunch and were very happy with our selections. I ordered the shish kabob pita. The grilled beef was tender and juicy and paired well with the garlic sauce. The wrap did not come with a side but we added rice for an additional 6 dollars. The rice portion was large and able to be split among two people. We learned Dalia's is a family owned restaurant and were given insight on the work that goes into the selection. The special desert item of the day was a home made Dubai chocolate bar. Our server told us about the process of perfecting the bar and how the family worked for a few months to get create the perfect recipe. The chocolate bar was $15 dollars and was large enough to be split among the 3 of us. We were very happy with our visit and would love to return. The food was authentic and delicious.

I ordered a BLT and my husband ordered an omelette. Mine was sitting up on the heated counter for at least 10 minutes and the waiter asked if I just wanted mine before my husbands. I said yes. It was not the greatest sandwich, and my fries were not hot. My husbands omelette came after I was almost finished. The waiter I could tell felt bad and apologized.
