Reviews for Aladdin Restaurant in Reading, PA
My husband and I ate here for dinner before a concert and had a great experience! No wait, kind server, and the food came out... fast & was delicious! We got hummus, veggie grape leaves and the beef shawarma. So much flavor! Read more
Absolutely the best hummus I have ever tasted! Friendly staff! Clean restaurant! Fresh food! So many options to make even the... pickest of eaters happy! Will definitely return and possibly use you to cater future events!! Read more
Staff was very helpful and the food was amazing. I?m so happy I discovered them.
When I pay $27 for chicken I expect to see it being freshly prepared, on the grill, not taken out of a bucket all chopped up and... reheated. Not to mention, I don't even know where I could pay that much for a chicken dinner,(shame on me). The food wasobviously not good, not being freshly prepared. This spot used to be amazing, don't have a clue what happened.. Read more
The food tasted horrible using supermarket shelves Pita bread, and charging 17$ for a falafel sandwich is outrageous!! At least... the taste should?ve been good!! And 25$s for 4 pieces of chicken breast is really not what Mediterranean food is about! Peopleneed to try real Mediterranean food! Read more
I just moved here a couple of months ago, and I missed having good Mediterranean food. I am very glad that we came here, and we... will definitely return. Read more
When I arrived at the restaurant, it looked empty around lunch on a Saturday but it was a dreary, rainy day. I was the only... person at the place but I was greeted by the 2 people I saw working there. They were both very pleasant. I ordered the Hummuswith Meat and a Small Fattoush salad. The Fattoush salad had crisp vegetables and had allot of seasoning. I was surprised howmuch flavor it had given some of the other reviews I read stating it was bland. That was not the case at all. Once of the thingsI like the most about the Fattoush is the toasted pita slices which IT DID NOT HAVE..... so I had some disappoint there. TheHummus was also really good. It was the style similar to what I was used to. What I mean by this is I grew up in a home whereLebanese food was a once a week thing. I got used to a particular type of Hummus, made with a particular consistency with allotof Garlic but not allot of Tahini . As I traveled the US it was different everywhere I tried. When I started traveling theworld, wow, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, and Israel all had drastically different styles. This made me OPEN MY MIND and palate todifferent regional preparations. So when I read reviews saying they were from the middle east and it was terrible, I took it asa preference. The Quality was great and the flavor was good for me, too. I will go again and get some of the other plates andupdate if anything changes. Oh yeah, they gave me plenty of PIta bread with my order, not like 3 small triangles but 12 largetriangles. Read more
Sadly not impressed. The shawarma was bland, lukewarm and tasted more like unseasoned fajita chicken from a grocery store frozen... food isle. Also, they did not serve any pita with the dinner. Also, the restaurant does not serve water; you have to buy abottle of water, so make it last. (What restaurant does not serve water?) Also, the place was so cold that by the end of ourmeal we were ready to run to the car just to warm up. We had eaten here several times a few years back and loved it; and thenwe went back last week (early Dec ?22)?We will not be returning. Sad to see another great spot turn sour. Read more
