The only Aladdin I've been to before was in San Diego and it was pretty darn good. I'm pretty positive it is the same that everyone on here is talking about. But we are not reviewing Aladdin here, we are reviewing Taza.
Mezzas we have tried:
Kibbeh Nayeh- Raw, tender beef served with raw onions, olive oil, pepper and salt. At first, we thought the meat was really spicy, but after tasting the meat by itself, it was just the onions that were spicy. Caramelized onions would be better, as it wouldn't be as spicy.
Jibneh- Yummy seared cheese drizzled with olive oil and pomegranate sauce. Jibneh is always a two thumbs up for me.
Hummus- A staple for Mediterranean food. Can't go wrong with hummus.
After our Mezza dishes, I had the shawarma plate. Lamb and beef pieces were all thinly sliced and cooked tomatoes and onions were hidden beneath a bed of seasoned fries. The shawarma plate was pretty "sour". Try it with some delicious provided bread and a side of yogurt would be helpful to balance out the sour taste of the shawarma.
