I am gluten-free it is difficult to find places to accommodate my dietary needs. Sam provided outstanding customer service and was incredibly helpful with guiding me through the menu. The food was absolutely delicious and we can't wait to return.

I dined at Aladdin yesterday and had such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The standout dish for me was the lamb saute. It was perfectly seasoned, tender, and truly one of the best I’ve had.The service was just as impressive. The owners were warm, attentive, and welcoming, which made the meal even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for great food and genuinely great service, Aladdin is definitely...
