Aladdin's Restaurant

I've been craving Middle Eastern food for a while. This was my first time here, and I'm so glad I gave them a try!They're close by, in the shopping strip on 436 in Casselberry. A little hidden gem.I had the vegetarian platter with baba ghanoush, hummus, bread, salad, falafel and tabouleh.It was fantastic! The flavor was there! The portions were great, and it's definitely something I would order again!I guess got the soup and cheese bread combo, which was delicious as well !!The service was very good. It's run by a family, and they're very sweet and kind and took very good care of us. When the restaurant was dead, except for the staff, but it was lovely with music in Arabic.I will definitely be back!

Food. Outstanding. Delicious. My friend and I tried the sampler platter. It had hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouli, choice of two dolmas or mini very mini spinach pie more like a dumpling, dolmas delicious best I've had in a long time and 2 huge falafel balls. Yum We would have preferred no onion in the tabouli but it was perfectly seasoned. All came with a small lunch salad. Pita bread fresh too. Not heated as the owner said it would get hard All lunch specials come with the salad. No room for dessert Only cons: weird location and not overly pretty strip center but been there for 29 years. The glass window and entry door was a turn off. Looked like they hadn't been cleaned nor the entry lobby. Crumbs. The restaurant is very nice inside. Nothing special but nice. Could use better napkins. Bathrooms need a bit of polishing up. Kitchen if you look that way is less than desirable so maybe some beads hanging as you see it as you're going to restroom which was out of TP. Soap dispenser wasn't working correctly too All in all loved the interaction of the owners. Food well priced and no shortness of food. A couple we met have been going there for 27 years. I will go back with my husband and my friends but hope they heed some suggestions I mentioned

4.5/5 starsThe ambience is very calm and the staff are very nice and polite. We went in on a Thursday evening and we were the only ones there.We ordered the hummus, tabbouleh, falafel sandwich and beef shawarma sandwich. Even though the sandwiches are only on the lunch menu, they let us order it anyways.The hummus was very delicious 8/10. I just wish the pita they provided was a little softer/hotterTabbouleh - wow the absolute CRISP-EST tabbouleh ever. It literally tasted like they harvested the parsley right then and there and served it up. It was so crisp and fresh 10/10Falafel sandwich - falafel was very crisp n tasty and the sandwich was made so there was a nice bite of falafel in every single bite 9/10 also wish this was hotter tooBeef shawarma - flavor was good but there's not much in this except the meat itself. Wish there were some more ingredients 7/10

This unprepossessing place is utterly delicious. The flavors are subtle (interestingly different take on baba gnoush and phenomenally smooth hummus). The lamb and chicken kebabs are moist and beautifully spiced. The least interesting dish was the beef schwarma which itself was more than serviceable. Given the quality of the food and the extremely personable owner, this place deserves a higher profile. If you like Lebanese food, you need to try it.

I love Aladdin's it's always a must for me it's a little hidden gem that's always over looked, it's been around for years it's a great spot to get together with the family and it's usually what we do we all meet up here and eat. It's clean the service is great the food comes at a great time love the people there service is always exceptional!!! Would recommend it to everyone specially because it's very hard to get good Lebanese home cooked food like your mommas house.

Doesn't look like much from the exterior but the hospitality and food is a 10/10. Aladdin's Restaurant is the best Lebanese food I've had in Florida since moving here over 2 1/2 years ago. The restaurant is situated in a strip center, next to a gas station. Although, not the best location, there is plenty of parking which makes this spot great. Upon walking in, the restaurant is decorated very minimal but, don't let that deter you. I've found through my travels of living in different cities and states throughout the U.S.; some of the best restaurants are the mom and pop owned establishments, like this one. I ordered a vegetarian combo, shish kafta kabob dinner, and baklava for dessert. OMG! The hummus - rich, creamy, smooth, and delicious! The grape leaves, kibbeh, beef kafta, and baba ghanoush - AMAZING! Each meal was served with a house salad that is made with homemade dressing that was out of this world! Even the baklava for dessert was such a sweet treat! Not to mention, how kind and hospitable the owner and his staff were. Overall, I give this place 5 stars because the parking was great, food was amazing, and service was very kind and cultured. I will definitely find an excuse to drive out to Casselberry again to eat here!

I hate to admit it, but I've lived less than 2 miles fro this place for 14 years and have only just tried them last week! I wanted something healthy-ish and Mediterranean sounded good. I, of course, over order because i wanted to try several things. The baba ganouj was smoky and delicious. The Sfiha did not look like the pictures on their page. It was more a pizza than puff pastry, which was slightly disappointing, but still very tasty! The mashawi was a mix of meats and was pretty good. The chicken was just slightly on the dry side, but the lamb was delicious. I'll just order the lamb next time.Staff was super friendly. I hated seeing them empty, but because of COVID there were no patrons. I hope they are busy for takeout! I'll definitely be a return customer.

It was difficult to decide on what to eat, everything on the menu sounded great, and was great. Service was fantastic, we will be back soon for sure!

Only thing enjoyable was the koftaThe lamb was tough and chewyThe service was slow even though restaurant was empty

Really enjoyed this restaurant, the atmosphere was inviting, the servers were kind and the food was delicious! Highly recommend that you give it a try
