We visited Aladdin for a reunion dinner with family. Both of my dining companions are well versed in Middle Eastern food, and all of us were very impressed with the authenticity and quality. The service from the manager was equally impressive. Highly recommended.

The food here is so good.. If you are unsure of what to try, I always advise getting one of their sample/platter entrees.

Their Tabbouleh and Baba ghanoush are a favorite.

The online ordering process is a nice addition when you need to order ahead for take out.

Overall this one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Berks County!

This place was truly amazing. This was our first experience with mediterranean food and the family was so welcoming and let us try things to see what we liked. The food was amazing and we will definitely be going back!
