Excellent food! I hadn't been to Aladdin in such a long time and forgot how good their food is. Falafel was a great way to start our meal. All of the meats we ate were tender and delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Aladdin is the restaurant with which I judge all Mediterranean food. And today all those memories came crashing back with every bite. I can honestly say NO OTHER restaurant has captured the texture, taste and truly exquisite culinary experience as a meal here and I don't think they ever will.

We had the three meet combination skewer; lamb, beef & chicken along w huge portion of hummus, rice, garlic paste & all of the pita you could eat & a bowl of flavorful lentil soup. Also a big Greek salad that was plentiful & delicious. Try the house drinks like tamarind w rose water & tasty tea. Everything was delicious & we shared it all.
Aladdin Hillcrest is a quaint Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurant located in The Hub. It is a family run business and the service is great. I fell in love with this restaurant after trying the Chicken Shawarma Wrap lunch special (with side salad, lentil soup, rice, or fries). It was only $10 a decade ago and now it's only $12. The chicken Shawarma wrap is insanely good! I'm not sure if it's the seven spices that they use to cook the chicken or the garlic paste that they put on it, but it is legendary! Their falafel is also very good, with a crisp outer crust, but a warm and soft inner core that has the faint flavor of cinnamon. Delicious!

The food is really good, the vibe is nice and the servers are very polite. A bit on the pricier side but worth it.

What a surprise as we were trying to wait for traffic to die down.The food was so good with ample portions. I got to try the borak and the labneh. We only made it through the appetizers. But we will be back through the next time we're driving through Hillcrest.
Great food probably one of the most authentic Lebanese restaurants in the area. The kebab , hummus , tabbouleh. Labne and Baba Kush. Was outrageously good! Also... Best French fries in town!!!
