We dropped by Aladdin bakery on a random night to try their stuff and we were pleasantly surprised by the flavour from the baked goods. We ordered meat and cheese, zaatar and cheese and forgot the last one. Oops. Never had zaatar so it was different. The gentleman at the shop recommended meat and cheese, and I’d say that was our favourite too. It’s probably because I’ve never had zaatar before that I felt like I will probably need to have it a few more times to fully enjoy it. Either way, I think the flavour will grow on me eventually. Will come back for meat and cheese. Overall, clean bakery quick food. In and out.

The quality has declined compared to how good they used to be.

I’ve never experienced worse customer service in my life. The older gentleman who serves pies at the front is consistently rude and unwelcoming. He gets visibly annoyed when I arrive around 8–9 A.M., despite the store opening at 7. When I tried coming later in the day around 3–4 P.M. to avoid the morning rush, I was told there was no food left and that they wouldn't be making more—even though they don’t close until 8 P.M.
It feels like no matter what time I come, I'm met with poor service and bad attitudes. If the staff don’t want to work or serve customers during posted hours, then maybe the business shouldn’t be operating at all.
On top of that, the food is consistently subpar—poorly made and just not worth it. Between the rude service and declining food quality, I won’t be returning.

It was my first visit there today, I ordered this freshly baked flatbread, zaatar pie, OMG! It was so yummy, I like the spices on top, and the bread was very soft yet very crispy, perfectly baked. And I love the aroma of the zaatar pie so much. I will try cheese or meat pie next time. They have a dining area and a rest room too

Terrible customer service, dry tasteless. Never coming here again
Dani Hanna
Very low quantity and doesn’t taste fresh mostly dough with barely any toppings better off going to ali baba it’s a bit more expensive but it’s worth it don’t waste your money there and btw the staff doesn’t seem to care at all

Says it closed at 8, but it was closed 2h before that.
Poor quality food, little to no ingredients, and terrible customer service. When I say yes to lemon and spice you don't pretend to put it on to save 10 cents. When I ask for a cheese pie, I'm not asking for bread with a sprinkle of cheese for the looks. When I ask for zaatar, im not asking for bread with 3 sesame seeds. What a waste of money. Never coming back here again.
Shut this dump down and make room for a restaurant or store that actually cares and isn't purley about maximizing profits at the cost of losing customers.

Ordered there multiple times to give it a chance, but now that’s it. I have had enough. Never again. Greasy burnt pies. I do not recommend this place. Go to Ali Baba in Orleans way better!

I gave it so many chances to judge properly. Flavour wise it’s so dry because most of it is just dough or bread. The filling is very little barely there to the level that you don’t taste it. Pricewise they are a little cheaper.

Pathetic atmosphere where the chef looks at you as if(simile implied) he wants to do something bad to you and that too for no apparent reason. HE ALSO PROVIDED ME WITH A MEAT PIE COVERED IN BOILING OIL THAT HE OVEN-HEATS AFTER POURING TONNES OF THAT EXTREMELY HOT BOILING OIL ONTO THE MEAT PIE WHICH I THOUGHT OF AS WATER FOR MOISTURE-CREATION INITIALLY. He then ovens the meat pie and serves it and roams around like a maniac grabbing a $2.50 water bottle out from his refrigerator just to calm down and wants to just watch me eat my meat pie in mourning even I had been so hungry that entire time. My throat is burnt and inflamed now. This HAS TO BE BROUGHT UNDER THE NOTICE OF THE AUTHORITIES.

Delicious meat pie and sausage & cheese pie. Friendly staff. Would recommend to friends.
