“Delicious, authentic Greek food. We have enjoyed everything we have had over the years. Highly recommend the saganaki, tirokefteri, pork souvlaki, dolmades and chicken gyro. The staff is so friendly, it is like having dinner with friends!“

“We had a benefit golf tournament on Monday May 22nd, the team’s performance was absolutely outstanding. The service was great and the food was perfect. We received many positive comments about how good the food and service were at the outing. Thanks again for an outstanding job!! Shout out to Maria and Dave!!!!“

“Delicious, flavorful, exotic looking Mediterranean dishes and great drinks. Would love to visit again:)“

“Finally a place in Chicagoland that does the Halal chicken and rice the right way. I also tried the chop cheese which was authentic out of Brooklyn. This is the only place doing it right in the area. Today was probably my 8th time there since they’ve opened. Great place, keep it up. *The other new place is all show and no taste or class for that matter.“

“I can't believe I'm just trying your food for the first time today.. everything is beyond delicious!! Grilled falafel platter, grilled veggies and chickpea salad, all fresh bright veggies, and ALL the flavors! Oh and the Greek coffee frappe so good:) I ordered delivery through Toast/Doordash but will definitely be stopping in with friends and family soon.“

“Delightful dining experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was a charming man who made us feel more like family friends. Definitely look forward to dining there again, and highly recommend.“

“I was so happy I found this cute little spot for a healthy and amazingly delicious lunch on Main St, close to work. Craving hummus and falafel and it hit the spot. So many fresh ingredients to load up into a salad bowl. The spicy hummus and tahini sauce were perfect. I can’t wait to return again and try another protein bowl. Highly recommend! Service was fantastic too. Thank you!

Vegetarian options: So many great options to choose, even if you are not a hummus fan!“

“The food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very nice. The seating feels like being in a living room of a home in Middle East, cozy and welcoming. I just think that it would be best if the tables were a little higher and if they turn the TV on or play some music to break the silence because it doesn't feel like you can have private talk when it's dead silence. I suggest something like a soft music may be with a show of Middle East paysage.“

“Edit November 2024: So after I visited them again, I am now determined, they are so good, I will make it a traditional stop every time traveling to Hartford....
Earlier October 2024: Visiting the area, Googled for a restaurant and found this one, well done, good food, delicious and a lot of choices.“

“I'm so glad my boyfriend made me go here. I thought it would be just like any walk in restaurant with mediocre food but I was so wrong! I’m an extremely picky eater and absolutely loved everything we got. This is also the first place I’ve been in a long time that actually had good salmon. They’re homemade dressing and marinate is so unique we went back in to buy a bottle after trying it with the complimentary salad we were given. 10/10 would go again!“

“The restaurant is super clean and the owners and staff are very friendly. The food tasted super fresh. We got the Tapas for appetizers and everything on that platter was great! I also got a mixed grill and the chicken was juicy not dry, the lamb chops were not overcooked, and the gyro/shawarma meat was very good.

Dietary restrictions: The menu is full halal.“

“These guys have the best gyros and kibbeh around. Not to mention the super tender pieces of lamb in their Mediterranean Bean stew or savory pieces of chicken in their curry. The prices could be twice as much, the brothers running the shop could be absolute jerks, and the food would still be worth it. The fact that neither of those things is true is just icing on top. All the commendations Tangiers receives are well deserved!“

“Four of us came here for the first time. The place looks like a typical Pizza restaurant. We got seated immediately and were given menus. The selections are great and the wine list also was extensive enough and prices were reasonable. We ordered a bottle of Stone Cellars Cabernet and it was wonderful. My family ordered a large pizza with white sauce and a small veggie pizza. I ordered the puttanesca and it was perhaps the best I have ever had. I shared it with the others and they also agreed it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely get it again. It was not busy at all and we were the only two tables there. It was very warm which was our only complaint.“

“Hey Mike! The Branzino was amazing. Loved the sampler appetizer too. See yah soon!“

“We stopped By Sam’s because my 6 year old was in a trance by the smell coming from the door. The decor was enough of a reason to eat here. But the food was FANTASTIC. My son has never had gyro meat before and he was shocked to learn he loved it. My daughter actually ate a TON which is impressive. The servings were also a great size for the price. We will certainly return and recommend to others!“

“I absolutely love this place never tried it till tonight the meat falls off the bone and the portions size is great this was all only 17 dollars and a size medium in lamb haneeth, worth the money will definitely get from here again! P.s. I did take a bite of this before taking the photo it comes full meat on the bone.“

“My absolute favorite deli in Wallingford!! The only problem I ever have is deciding what delicious thing I want to order! The salads are huge the sandwiches are always fresh and the baked goods are out of this world.“

“You can't easily eat out for less than $20 unless you're getting franchise fast food. This is the main exception I've found so far. You can get a plate of tasty Mediterranean chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauce for 10 dollars flat. It's pretty good quality too. Just make sure to bring cash, because they don't take card. That's llikely how they keep the price so low.“

“Amazing nice place and food delicious 🤤“

“Pizza and wings were delicious!“

“I always come to this restaurant, the food is so good, the drinks are always spot on, not too strong and not too sweet just how I like it. The servers/bartender are very friendly. They have some nice decorations put up if you want to take some pictures and the atmosphere is nice. The dinning room is a perfect place to chat and feel at peace with the music. The bar is great to come have some quick drinks a couple of tapas, listen to music and leave happy, the patio is a nice place to enjoy the view and weather. Prices match the quality of the food. The point is this is one of my favorite places to come to with my family, wife, friends. they do such a good job with everything they do! I want them to get more recognition because they definitely have so much potential!“

“I highly recommend Aladdin Halal! Not only did the chef's go out of their way to make sure my vegan needs were taken care of....they didn't make me feel like I was an inconvenience! The food has been OUTSTANDING! Great team, fantastic atmosphere and every time I come to Connecticut I will eat here! Thank you!😀“
