    The belly dancer
    Shawn L.

    Just had my first experience at Aladdin and it was wonderful! The hostess was attentive and very friendly (she also was our waitress). As our waitress she was just as incredible, kept an eye on our table, explained the menu and provided suggestions that ended up being delicious! I had the Pie Sampler as an appetizer then for the main the Kefta Kabab and finished off with a traditional Baklava for dessert with a Turkish Coffee. We went on a Saturday night so there was a Belly Dancer who got the audience participating, clapping, dancing and laughing. Also, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Well 100% return for more of this delightful restaurant! Can't wait to go back.

    Friendly Service. Rather large menu. May help to make a reservation ahead of time. A little bit pricey but usually Middle Eastern or Mediterranean is a bit pricier. They have live belly dancing on Saturday nights. Friendly Reminder, it is BYOB! We got a dip sampler with Hummus, Babaganoush, and one other. Ed's Favorite is a good kabob if you want a sampler for 1.

    Hummus and Arnabit.

    This place has older style decor but I like it! The food here is amazing, hot and fresh. The place was kind of busy but the service was good and prompt. Definitely will be back.

    I was really thrown off and thought I had walked into the wrong entrance. I walked into a room full of happy diners and no host/hostess counter in sight. I walked out and came back in and saw a waiter who seated me without a reservation because I was just one. THIS WAS A STRANGE WAY TO START A MEAL! Evidently, BYOB is a big part of living in PA. This is not just wine but other alcoholic beverages too. Several tables had bottles bright in for their meals. I was not very hungry but wanted to eat something so I opted for a few appetizers. I love pea soup. This version was vegan. It was thin and watery and rather light on pea flavor and seasoning, in my opinion. I love eggplant, as well and so I tried a couple of eggplant appetizers: Baba Ganoush and a dish of tiny eggplant stuffed with garlic and walnuts, called Manous. The third appetizer was a dish of three different meat pies. The Baba Ganoush was adequate - nothing special, but good enough. The pita was freshly made but cold. The Manous were not what I expected but were tasty. The meat pies were tasty and I would order them again. My waiter was attentive and kept my water glass filled. Except for the way I was greeted - no host or hostess station, room looked a banquet hall which made me unsure of if I entered correctly, this was a very nice restaurant.

    First let me say my hubby loved the belly dancing on Saturday!!! For a second I thought I was in the strip club the way these people were tossing dollars at this girl. Now the food I had a lamb kebab and the shrimp kebab that didn't come out at the same time I waited 20 mins after my shrimp for my lamb. The shrimp had flavor, but the lamb even though tender had not an ounce of seasoning. The olive and cheese plate came with no oil no nothing. Shawarma was tough and flavorless. I gave it 3 stars because it wasn't a horrible experience but a little more flavor would have bumped this up to another star.

    5 Stars - Lazeez Fresh Mediterranean Grill - Worth Every Bite!…read moreJust had one of the best Mediterranean meals I've had in a long time at Lazeez Fresh, and honestly, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to come back the next day. The owner himself came out after I finished eating and we had a nice little chat--he was telling me how his two sons are now working with him, which was really cool to hear. You can tell the family runs this place with heart, and it shows in the food. * Chicken Shawarma: Loaded--seriously, no skimping here. Piles of juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken, not the sad half-wraps you get elsewhere. And the fact it's served in puffy pita bread instead of those thin tortillas most places use? Game-changer. Tasted fresh and authentic. * Baba Ghanoush: Super fresh, creamy, and came with warm pita chips and bread on the side. Perfect balance, not too garlicky or oily. * Tabbouleh: Exactly how my grandma used to make it--bright, herby, lots of parsley and fresh tomato, lemony without being sour. Spot on. * Namorah (2 pieces): Chef's kiss. Moist, not dry like some versions, sweet but not overpowering, just the right texture. Finished them way too fast. Everything felt homemade and made with care. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the vibe is welcoming. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about. Would love to come back but was just passing through for work--highly recommend Thanks to the owner Adnan and the sons for the great food and the chat--keep doing what you're doing! They do catering TOO!!!!

He welcomed everyone in and was just very kind. I got the beef shawarma salad and falafels. I always try to get falafels wherever I am just to compare. The beef had a spice I am not familiar with. Everything was decent. We even got complimentary dessert - some coconut squares.

Everything was fresh, well cooked, flavorful, and served in massive portions. The fattoush was a beautiful massive boat, and the dressing with it had a lovely vinegar bite and the pomegranate pop in the dressing was so good, both visually and taste wise. The coffee was great, fresh made with deep flavor. My friend loved the shrimp, they were juicy and flavorful. They also came with pita, rice, and labneh. The kibbe were fried perfectly, and juicy and well spiced inside. I love that they were small instead of two huge ones like I sometimes see. The pistachio mafrooka was something I had never tried and oh my god, it was amazing. A little disk on the bottom of pistacho and maybe honey? Nice and sticky and baklava adjacent minus the phyllo. Topped with a scoop of a thick cream, with a cheesecake vibe but a little more sour. Then topped with pistachio. It also came with all three pieces which were huge. The service was quick and friendly as well. They also have hookah, which they asked if we wanted to do when we arrived. We didn't opt to, but if that's your jam, stop by! I absolutely recommend coming by for the food though!

Honestly, this alone is worth a visit and to me was the star of my food experience here. For my main I ordered the beef and lamb gyro platter. Sometimes lamb can be a little gamey but not this lamb. It was slow cooked for 48hr to achieve a deep garlicky flavor that was just decadent. The meet was tender and the rice fresh and the right ratio of sticky but firm. Finally I ended with the baklava. Flakey crunchy and sweet. This was a classic way to end a Mediterranean meal and it did not disappoint. While this place is in a strip mall, do not let the location fool you. The inside is tastefully decorated in an elegant understated way. The service was top tier. Our waiter was attentive, talked to us about the dishes we ordered, and had a genuine friendliness to him. If you are looking for Mediterranean food or just to try something new, I would highly recommend that you check out this spot.

We ordered thick not knowing that "thin" meant saj - why didn't she say SAJ??? There were an abundance of pickles in the shawarma, too many!! There was no creamy garlic sauce in it either. The whole thing fell apart. The baba was just weird. It was not a good, creamy consistency, but rather chunks of cooked eggplant, with chopped veggies. No smokey flavor at all. I thought different Middle East regions would have different versions of food, but this version was pretty bad. Meanwhile, the man who must have been the owner kept jumping up and talking. I thought, just shut up and learn how to make food. As far as decor, the place was decorated with "out of the book" decor that had no authenticity to Middle East ambience.
