| - A Middle Eastern eatery located in a suburban safe zone, patrons comfortably dine beneath rainbow colored streaming ribbons, glass block walls, mirrors, neutral colored decor and potted plants. Aladdin's is a welcome option to grabbing a tasteful & inexpensive meal without committing gastric suicide.
Aladdin's prides themselves on fresh and healthful options. Everything is made from scratch and contains no preservatives. On a recent visit, I scoured the extensive menu of great variety and settled for an appetizer of hummos with a side of their homemade hot sauce. I also ordered the Greek Pitza which consisted of Feta cheese, zaatar, diced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, julienne green peppers and slivered calamata olives and garnished with flakes of sweet basil. To drink I had the Green Tea, however they do offer freshly squeezed juices and smoothies that looked tempting. Overall, the meal was fresh, plenty flavorful and seasoned just right.
One bit of irony about this place though is the massively decadent American-stlyed cheesecakes and cakes that are prominently displayed in a dining case by the register. This seems somewhat contradictory to the healthful theme, although the menu also offers smaller Middle Eastern desserts such as baklava. I've yet to cave in to either, although it wasn't because of health reasons, instead it's only because I'm usually stuffed after a meal here.
