My favorite lunch spot in Pgh. Every pita pizza is delicious. The salads, the juices, everything they make comes out delicious. I grew up in a Lebanese family, so I am a harsh critic of these things typically.

I stopped in for take out and mentioned I just moved in 7 days. They gifted me a piece of baklava. My dinner was lamb, bubba & hummus with pita. Delicious. I had left over sides so went back for more lamb.
I would highly recommend this location.

If you're going for halal food, they actually don't have Halal meats, but they do serve midetranian food and it is generally good!

I ordered take out with baba ganoosh and hummus and they didn’t include any pita bread. Make sure you have your whole order when doing pick up

The meat was burned two plates of 20 dollars spoiled I would never come back

The last few visits to Aladdin’s has been declining however, this last visit was really disappointing. I ordered takeout: appetizers, salads, kids meals, and 2 Aladdin’s specials and 1 beef Shish Plate. The beef on all 3 dishes was inedible. It was so burnt and we were not able to eat. The Kafta was burnt on 1 side but it was at least edible. The other food was good but I am extremely disappointed in the beef. It’s even more disappointing knowing the cooks had to see that and still send it out knowing we wouldn’t see the burnt beef until we were already home. I did call the restaurant and the manager never returned my call.

For the first time in a while I had piss poor service and it colored the experience of the food. I don’t complain or even talk about my experiences that much. The server was young and green, you could tell. She mixed up the first thing - drinks. She either forgot or flat out ignored my daughter’s order and didn’t bring everything out (spoons with hot drinks and creamer for coffee or even the water I asked for) or even together at the same time - one drink one trip, one drink another trip, etc. and it wasn’t quickly after. We were her only table at that time. Food was good and served fine but she threw away my leftovers (2-3 bites of a rolled pita) while I wasn’t even at the table and didn’t even ask other folks. I liked it too and I eat slowly so I was probably going to finish it before we left. She messed up clearing the table 101. I don’t expect perfection (I was a server and I understand) but I expect the easiest things done without an issue. Maybe she doesn’t make a mistake the rest of the day, I hope so. I’ll be hard pressed to go back.

I usually order Aladdin through DoorDash, but this was my first time dining in. We went as a group of 5 on a Thursday night. It wasn’t packed, and I loved the atmosphere, music, and service. As for the food: Three of us had the rolled pitas — they were huge and delicious. Unfortunately, the Sultan shawarma pizza was disappointing, overloaded with onions and lacking meat and veggies.
