| - I've lived next to Aladdin's for a couple of years. I think it is decidedly average. The restaurant does a lot of things well, and it really is a nice option for affordable Mediterranean food. Good items on the menu include the various plates, sandwiches, and soups, but after multiple visits, I've settled on the overstuffed salad pockets, with their nice combination of starch and lettuce and nice dressing. I would recommend staying away from the smoothies and kitschy pitzas.
If you like desserts, Aladdin's has good baklava and offers a large selection of cakes, and you can also grab a bag of pita bread to go that is way better than anything at the grocery store.
I've always had a positive experience except for the one time when the hummus was tooo salty, but despite of (or maybe because of) living next door, I never crave their food and always go for the convenience. Overall, okay but not great.
