[Aladdin Restaurant
Restaurant Review
Just north of University Avenue, Aladdin restaurant is one of Hillcrest’s most flavorful dining destinations. The Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurant serves an array of fresh, vibrant dishes such as Lamb Schwerma, Vegetarian Bryani, and the chef’s favorite, Halibut Arrabiata. Lighter fare includes an array of traditional Meza such as hommos, tabouleh, and dolmas, as well as salads, sandwiches, and wood-fired middle-eastern pizzas. The casual setting and elegant décor is welcoming and comfortable; combined with the food it just may convince you that you’re not in Hillcrest anymore.

Title: | Food Was Good -- The Service Was Better! |
My party of four arrived earlier than our reservation and we were promptly seated. The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. We ordered drinks and the Cheese Borak as an appetizer - Outstanding! I ordered the Chicken Tika Kabobs and a friend ordered a Chicken Shawerma Pizza - we were extremely pleased with our choices. My two other friends ordered the Lamb Shawerma and they were displeased with the lamb. They stated it was too salty and leather-like. They ate a few pieces but decided that they were getting full from the salad (which was fresh and the dressing was tasty). The server offered to have the chef prepare anything off the menu but they both declined. We were nice about the entire situation and even were going to pay for both entrees. However, the server brought us out 4 pieces of Bakliva and the check minus the two Lamb Shawerma entrees! We told her that wasn't necessary but she insisted. We paid the bill and left her a very nice tip. We will return and if you go try the Cheese Borak and the Chicken Kabobs! I can't wait to go back!
