They need to be a lot more attentive to the tickets on their takeout orders. First time I got take out (spinach salad) and I couldn’t eat it because I was given the honey mustard dressing instead of balsamic vinaigrette by accident. However, we came back to the area for a visit with some friends in Fox Chapel, and tried to get takeout again. Bad idea. Boyfriend’s tuna steak was way overcooked (asked for medium-well, came suuuuuper well-done), and my Jasmine’s rice was very dry as well. Our friend got the fatoush salad and said it was just ok. Overall the food was bland and not worth it to me. We ended up going to Starbucks and eating better there. Disappointing because the food at the Squirrel Hill location was pretty good iirc. Please have some more pride in your work, pay attention to what you’re doing, etc.Vegetarian options: Yes, they have vegetarian and vegan options, but are they paying attention to your requests when they’re processing your takeout order?Dietary restrictions: Good question. In my experience, and I have given them two chances, they don’t care half the time.

Food is great and fresh. Huge selection on the menu. Service is great too. It's a quiet cozy ambience, yet casual. I've also gotten catered trays made for takeout for parties and they are wonderful!

Got take out. Everything was proper temperature and delicious. I'd go back there again.Parking: In a shopping center. Lots of parking places.
The service was good and we got waited on quickly. Unfortunately, we both got sick within minutes of leaving the restaurant.

Got jasmines's favorite rice and veg with grilled chicken. Hot sauce is great! Potatoes could have been cooked longer.

We often go there with a group of 89 or 10 people, including two children under the age of six. The staff always accommodates us and serves us well. They also permit one to BYOB with a small cork fee. I am not a big fan of Middle Eastern food but I think, the food is fresh and wholesome and they have many many vegan selections.

We were thrilled with the catering excellence we received from Fox Chapel Aladdin's during our local retreat. Chiara's invaluable assistance in menu selection and meticulous attention to detail, made a significant impact. Our ongoing partnership for smaller events has consistently exceeded expectations, showcasing Fox Chapel Aladdin's unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Excited for more successful events with their exceptional service!
Very nice staff who knew the menu. Food was very good.

It took us two years to enjoy our first visit to Aladdin's Eatery. I am so glad we kept it on our list. Fabulous experience. The staff was friendly and offered help in selecting gluten free choices. The restaurant was clean. Al of the windows make the interior a bright and cheerful. But the food is extraordinaire. Spicy Cauliflower that isn't too hot but perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Jasmine Rice Bowl with beef shish kabob as well as with grilled chicken thighs are so flavorful and the components meld so well together. The garlic sauce is so good, we would have liked the bowl had it not been inappropriate. This restaurant is a keeper and we look forward to getting back as soon as possible.
I was looking forward to eating there after moving away a long time ago. I guess Molly thought I was going to increase her tip for each time she rolled her eyes at me. Surprise! She didn't get squat. The food was also very middling, poorly presented and the patio was filthy with people at the bar next door standing outside smoking right next door. Molly, I know you think you have the right to assert your superiority as someone highly placed in the food service industry, but don't be such a ©unt.
My new diet.
