I'm in the middle when it comes to Taza. Over the years I've come to realize that I've transitioned into seeking value (as well as many other things) in my dining experiences.
That's where I struggle with Taza...
I love Aladdin's. I really like Taza--I don't like the price difference. And honestly, besides a few upgrades I didn't really notice a difference. There are so many options to eat healthy on both menus, which I really appreciate. And everything I've tried is very tasty--so that's why Taza still gets 4 stars. Furthermore, the service both my mother and I received on our last visit was 5-star, for sure.
But Aladdin's is really just as good. And that price difference just bothers me to no end. I guess you're paying more for the location??
I will say their mango iced tea is awesome. So is their Lebanese Salata, which I usually add grilled chicken to. Their chicken is always perfectly seasoned and cooked.
