| - Stopped here for dinner on a Monday evening with my friend. The first thing you see when you walk in is the case of desserts; they all looked delicious and I had to avert my eyes to stay on my healthy eating goal! The restaurant was buzzing but we didn't have to wait at all to be seated.
Our waitress was very friendly and she had a trainee with her so we received excellent customer service throughout the entire meal; they were consistently checking on us!
We picked Aladdin's to try and satisfy both of our dietary restrictions (Mine is low carbs and my friend is vegan). After doing some research on the menu, she was very impressed with all of the vegan options (not just salads, but vegan wraps, soups, appetizers, and bowls! They also customized her smoothie order to be vegan which she was very thankful for.
I myself hose the baba ganouj appetizer with vegetable dippers instead of warm pita. It comes in three sizes- small, regular, and large. I got the regular portion since I was getting a light salad entree, and it ended up being about 4 cups of spread which was a lot for me, I took about half home! In hindsight a solo person should probably get the small size as the regular seems to be for sharing!
I also got the Lebanese Salata, a salad of spring mix greens, parsley, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, and olive oil/lemon juice dressing. It was excellent and also a large portion. I was very happy with it. As a side note: it is very wet, the remaining salad did not survive for lunch the next day.
One thing I didn't like was how it seems we weren't getting the full picture when ordering. When I asked for the baba dish with vegetables instead of pita, I was charged for the vegetables as if I just ordered them on the side. The waitress did not mention it would be an up charge. She also asked if I wanted hot sauce on it and did not mention 'would you like to 'add on' hot sauce'? Same goes for my friends salad. She asked if my friend would like a soup or salad with her wrap, and it was extra. But it came off like would you like a choice between a soup or a salad, not would you like to ADD a soup or salad. I mean maybe it was just this particular waitress's way of communicating, but it was confusing. If you aren't sure, definitely ask does this come with a side dish? Is it an up charge to substitute so-and-so? Etc!
I will go back again because it was really awesome that we found a place that, like I said, can work for both of our dietary restrictions! The food was very good and it was an easy walk from the parking garage across the street.
