About Maisa formerly Aladdin Hillcrest

Based on the provided reviews, Maisa (formerly Aladdin Hillcrest) is a favorite place in San Diego for fresh authentic Lebanese food. The menu is a mix of elements from the restaurant’s previous life as Aladdin, with some nice new additions. The food is delicious and the portions are generous, with some favorites including the muhammara, chicken shawarma wrap, fattoush salad, and manakish. The chicken kabob plate features nicely marinated and very tender chicken. The hummus and garlic sauce is good, and the Halloumi cheese fries with the fig dip is a must. The meats, especially the lamb, are high quality and perfectly cooked. The restaurant has undergone interior renovations that gave the place a clean but welcoming new look and feel, with a modern Lebanese vibe. It is family owned and run, and the service is always friendly. However, the acoustics in the restaurant are not very good and everything does echo.
