“Incredible service, incredible food, we will be back! We shared the platter for 2 and it was an incredible mix and was perfect for our first time trying Yemeni food, we were only there a couple hours ago and ive told like 8 people to check it out.“

“Amazing Food!“

“BEAUTIFUL place, EXCELLENT service, DELICIOUS food, and lovely cultural experience. We will definitely come again. The scrambled egg breakfast dish with naan and the fried lemon potatoes with spicy cilantro sauce were so good. We tried both of the traditional coffees and loved both. And we can’t wait to try the desserts we took to-go!“

“Very delicious food and clean restaurant and professional staff.“

“Best place to eat Mediterranean food. So good thank you guys !“

“The cigars were amazing. The brisket BBQ cigars especially take the cake. They are juicy and flavorful without being too sweet.
We also enjoyed the spicy chicken poppers (not too spicy) and the schnitzel bowl. Their garlic aoili and skhug sauces are very good.
We love stopping by whenever we pass through Colombus.“

“I ordered online, so I can’t rate the service or atmosphere. But, the food is absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful and well cooked. First time was a group order - Lamb chops, vegetables, hummus, baba ghanoush, and lentil rice were all delicious! Vegan options are available. The only thing was that the chicken bites were a little dry. I ordered again a couple of days later, and got the chicken shawarma and mango smoothie. Both were on point!“

“The have the best meet in town fresh and Halal?“

“Had a fabulous chicken gyro at the Columbus Book Festival today. It was so nice to have something good and fresh!“

“I love this place!! Best falafel in town, heard it from a friend and it’s true. I’m vegetarian and they still have lots of yummy dishes that I love. The owner is very nice and they have great service. Give this place a try!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“My wife and I decided to try something new. What a great restaurant!! The food was excellent, and the service was spectacular. The prices were so low. I highly recommend everyone to try this place! The building itself is just a small little place, but the food is great! For our first time trying this kind of food, it was a wonderful experience.“

“This place has the best flatbread in Columbus. To the other commenter who mentioned that it was moldy in 3 days: as somebody who makes bread this is typical of bread without preservatives and other junk that they add at the grocery store. Also the fact that it's fresh baked means you need to take it out of the plastic and let it breathe before putting it back in.“

“Grabbed a late dinner last night. Food was outstanding (primarily the tabouli salad with beef shawarma.) Most outstanding, though, was our service. Caleb is a gem. He is so polite, charming and attentive. We really enjoyed him. Definitely will be back again very soon!“

“It was so good omg“

“I order The double cheeseburger on the Uber eats app all the time. It is one of the most flavorful burgers. And they let you choose fries or onion rings and a drink. It's a great deal and the flavor is unbelievable. I highly recommend.“

“Fantastic food! Our family is super picky about food quality and ingredients… we are gluten and dairy free. Alladdins is accommodating to both. Fast and super friendly service. This will be our go to restaurant when in town for a track meet at Spire! Perfect fuel for our athlete“

“Zaki has easily become one of my favorite eateries in Cbus. The ingredients are so fresh and the flavors are on point. I am gluten free. They have a great menu with a lot of gluten free options, it is a blessing. I get a falafel bowl and add chicken; the generous portions result in leftovers or me sharing with friends. The gentlemen working greet you with a smile and are enthusiastic about the food they make. Highly recommend!“

“I love this restaurant and the people who make it possible to dine here!“

“We went to have dinner last evening. They told us that the dinner is $15.99. They told us that the brisket wasn't included, but they were nice enough to serve us brisket from the lunch. On the way to check out at the counter, we pay extra for brisket per pound. Since they were nice to us, we didn't check the price (which we should've). The day after we were checking the price, it was way more than we thought it was. Lunch was $17, 99, and dinner was $15.99. When I called then I was told they person at the counter charged us $21, 99, which was WAY more than t were supposedose to charge. The person was firm on the price until I told him thathadave text from sababa of lunch, which was $17, 99, and we had din, er, which was $15.99. Of course, I was upset about him because he either didn't know the truth or lying out right that he didn't know they had a promotion yesterday for less price. (If you are working at the counter it's your JOB to know to charge your customers rightfully) If someone is upset on it than it's your job to calm them, not to get ANGRY on retaliation. He called his manager and after a long hold, for which I thought he discussed it with his counter person that what's actually going wrong, he told me that it's not a big deal and it's just $5 dollars, which was way more than that. Obviously, it pissed me off, and again, the manager got ANGRY in retaliation (which he shouldn't be) because both the customer service and the manager are NOT giving you the right information. In the last, he told us the correct amount to be refunded and HUNG UP ABRUPTLY. (Without apologizing or saying SORRY. As I said, FOOD is awesome, but the customer service from the counter SUCKS but the waitress is really NICE to provide us brisket. I would ask anyone if their is a discount price for the dinner ($15.99) and you are charged for regular lunch price (21.99), and the customer service is NOT accepting mistake. Wouldn't you be upset or mad about it? The manager would be angry about giving you a refund and hanging up abruptly without apologizing.“

“Hands down the best food truck ever. Their rice is mind blowingly good, fluffy, aromatic, and delicious. I make rice EVERY DAY, and I still can't replicate it. Their falafel is also perfect. I'm a fan of their yogurt sauce and my partner thinks their Chicken is the best they have ever had. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back again soon.

Vegetarian options: I had falafel over rice which came with a salad.“

“Best food the rice bowl is 🔥“
