I'm from California but travel to Independence about every other month - every time I come I make sure to come to Aladdin's. The hummus with the spicy sauce (HAVE TO get the spicy sauce) is absolutely tremendous. If the pitas were a little fresher this place would be mind blowing. Service is super attentive and courteous, great portions, delicious food (I try to order something different every time), and Anchor Steam to boot?!?! A place after my own heart.
