I used to love Aladdin's but unfortunately they've decided that it's easier to buy pre-made frozen food instead of make it themselves. Every time I've had faffel or kibbie it's been frozen inside and the hummus tastes exactly like the stuff you can buy at an Arabic/Middle Eastern store. As someone who is Egyptian I'm truly disappointed in how Aladdin's represents middle eastern cuisine. It's upsetting.
Additionally, the service hasn't been very good at either the Crocker Park or Lakewood locations. Last time I went to the Lakewood location the hostess bent over and showed everyone her bottom - that's how short her "dress" was - it put everyone off their meal and tables were glaring, horrified. Plus, the prices are outrageous and they continue to go up each time I go there. I've talked to other friends and family and they all agree - save your money!
