Whenever I'm back in Northeast Ohio, Aladdin's is one of the eateries I look forward to returning to most. For me it strikes the right balance of tasty Middle Eastern dishes made with quality ingredients at a very reasonable price. When caught without a car, I have actually biked 10+ miles just to get my fix. And when I had my wisdom teeth removed, their hummus was one of the first soft foods I incorporated back into my eating routine.
I have trouble exploring the menu beyond my two favorite salads--the Greek chicken salad (with feta and pickled radishes) and the Taza salad (with honey dijon dressing, pine nuts, and dried cranberries). Both are enormous and filling. I enjoy supplementing the greens with a small order of hummus. Note that the accompanying pita is the flat, thin, unleavened kind--not thick and fluffy as "pita" can sometimes connote.
Our server this past week, Abigail, could not have been friendlier or more efficient at every stage of the meal. Her professional and pleasant demeanor added to an already delightful meal. Thanks, Aladdin's!
