    Aladdin’s is ridiculously expensive, prices are almost double/triple what they should be. Quantities are very small. Paid 55$ for a few appetizers. Food is not really authentic, their take on Sfiha (10$?!), Fatayer and fattouch is terrible (from a Lebanese person’s perspective). The only good thing is that the ingredients are fresh but there definitely is a lot of room for improvement. Aladdin’s basically butchers Lebanese cuisine and definitely does not represent it, wouldn’t recommend it

    A chain that's been around for many years with locations in multiple states. Middle Eastern food that is a bit too Americanized and feels overly generic, perhaps in an effort to streamline the cooking process and appeal to a wider audience. There are plenty of vegetarian options and the service is friendly.

    Service and place were great. The beef pita was juicy. They could slice the pickle instead of putting one whole piece in. One thing for its signature hummus is that it tasted less sweet but a little astringent.

    The food here is good--lots of quality vegetarian options like falafel and hummus, and the selection of cakes is always excellent (they're maybe not very authentically Mediterranean, but oh well). The prices are also reasonable. But the best part about this place is the staff. Very friendly and helpful, genuinely seem to want you to have a good experience. When we got our leftover hummus boxed up to go, we got extra pita without even having to ask for it. Nice!

    We went here about a year ago and it was amazing. We just went again recently and we had a bad experience. We ordered a meal without nuts and it came out with nuts, we ordered a pizza and the cheese wasn’t melted, we ordered lamb and it wasn’t cooked. Fruit came out as a side and the banana was mushy. I ordered some meat and it wasn’t fully cooked, we ordered some things to go and we waited 10 or 15 mins after we ate our food before it was ready and had to remind them multiple times what we ordered. Finally they offered us hot sauce and didn’t mention they would charge us for it. The staff seemed friendly and they did comp us for some of it but it was very tiring and not worth the trip. They looked like they needed help but it was expensive as well. Probably won’t be back.

    Empty restaurant on a wed evening and it took 45 minutes for our entrees to come out. Specifically asked if the tea was sweetened, they say no, but was served some cheap sweet fountain drink like tea. Food tasted good, but I'll stick to Lavash.

    Someone got ahold of my email address and is amusing herself by playing with it. Aladdin's is a top-notch restaurant. I have never had a bad meal there. It's always excellent. I hope that everyone who sees the crummy review will take the time to read my other reviews of this quality restaurant, including this review.

    My husband, daughter, and I thought everything was wonderful! The food was good, warm, and reasonably priced. The wrapped pitas are huge! The diamond baklava was delicious. We will definitely return. Our 5 year old daughter approved of the food so it’s definitely good! Vegan options and vegetarian! Service was also great!

    I get this once or twice a week after work for dinner. Usually the lamb and rice or beef and rice and a smoothie. It is really the best and super simple ingredients. The food is always warm and good quality. If you are really hungry they have great deserts too. 10/10 place for food

  • 5/5 Sarah P. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Awesome Mediterranean dishes and fresh light fare. I highly recommend the V-nine soup (make sure to add feta!), fruit smoothies, and the genie combo plate! One of my fave places to eat.

    Myself and a couple of my girlfriends went tonight to have dinner and wow!! The food was absolutely delicious! The presentation amazing! Genies combo, wow!! The service absolutely amazing and attentive! Arianna, our server, was courteous, attentive, accurate, informative and very kind! The atmosphere is perfect for a cozy "catching up" time with friends. Joscelyn Baez the manager this evening was impeccably attentive, courteous and professional! The team worked together so well and organized. Wil definitely be returning and referring family and friends of this Clintonville Aladdins. Thank you for your wonderful tasty foods!

    The staff eats here all the time and we love it! Clintonville fave for sure. From your friends at Columbus Botanical Depot

  • 3/5 Andrew M. 11 months ago on Google
    Very chilled and laid back Aladdins. So if you are looking for a rehashing place to meet and catch up with friends or have a mee meal, this is the place. The food was its normal quality but the service was slow. There were two tables and it seemed like our server came back only when an item was ready. I asked for water on two occasions and only got it after asking a third time.

  • 5/5 Social Justice A. 1 year ago on Google
    I miss the old ceiling, decor and atmosphere and wish the mint tea refills were a bit quicker after waiting several minutes for one, but other than this, as always, Aladdins delivered. And they offer plenty of vegetarian options as well, not to mention the plating was beautiful, as usual.

    I will be coming to this location over the Grandview one from now on. A very nice young man took excellent care of us. Food was fast prompt delicious. I just want to reiterate it's hard to find good customer service today especially in restaurants. He spoke very highly of the company. I wish I would have caught his name but you guys know who you have cuz he's been there 8 years. We need more young people like him around to make the restaurant world a better place.

    The service staff were very kind to us, and not at all pushy when it came to choosing desserts to take home and enjoy, as a family.

  • 2/5 Jaimie W. 10 months ago on Google
    This used to be my favorite restaurant. Between the server not caring to get our orders correct and the prices going up, it was not a very good time. The server also charged us for things we didn't receive.

  • 5/5 Liz T. 9 months ago on Google
    Genie's Combo is delicious! The V-nine soup was great as always.

  • 5/5 Terry G. 6 months ago on Google

    Absolute great customer service. Our waiter, Arianna, was super kind and patient with us. Will definitely be back soon!

  • 4/5 Rob L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and service! I had the tuna steak salad with the house special dressing. Loved the dressing and the salad was good, only ding was that my tuna was a bit overcooked.

  • 5/5 Ari K. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly delicious vegetarian food, great service. The chili + the hummus + the baklava were all really good. Next time, I'll try one of the impressive cakes!

  • 5/5 Wendy B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a delicious lunch today and excellent service. The cauliflower appetizer and mujadara were top notch!

  • 5/5 Kathy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the food here! Always good, no matter the location.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service and accurate order, amazing food, and great location. Everything in my order was perfect and very well organized, as was the staff when I came in to pick up. Very happy with this place 👍 Highly recommended. Make sure to park in the side (North) and go in the main street door.

  • 2/5 Stacie T. 1 year ago on Google
    I really want to like this place but I just leave frustrated every time. The menu is vague and confusing, despite its length. I never know exactly what's going to arrive at the table (although I must admit it's always tasty.) Prices are high, portions are generally small, and service is usually bad. They don't even have labels on the cakes in their pastry case, which I find a telling sign - thoughtfulness is not a guiding principle here, even though the sparse aesthetic and wholesomeness of the menu seem intended to suggest that it is. Also, why have they still not reopened the back door so guests don't have to walk all the way around the bbq joint next door?? It's very unwelcoming.

  • 5/5 Burleigh W. 1 year ago on Google
    A lot on my plate. Whatever a Lebanese salad is, I'm in love.

  • 5/5 Thom M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Hummus I've had in a while. Super Friendly service, too! Great meal

  • 1/5 Steve E. 1 year ago on Google
    Slow service and restaurant was out of a lot of options even though we were the only people in the restaurant. When our dishes came with salads we subbed to rice and they charged us for them and one person didnt even get their side and were charged that. Very poorly run and slow service with no food options on a slow evening. Only positive was it was a very clean restaurant

  • 5/5 Monkey G. 1 year ago on Google
    Did we just invent the “salad dressing flight?”

  • 5/5 M R. 1 year ago on Google
    The first thing I had to do after 22 years away from Columbus was to stop here and get a chicken salad pita wrap. It was as good as I remembered and made me miss living here even more. This sandwich is in my top 5 list of the best things I've ever eaten--just delicious! This restaurant can't be beat. Columbus is so lucky to have this gem.

  • 4/5 Jamie 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love the hummus here! The spicy cauliflower and raspberry green tea are also delicious. So many vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options too.

  • 5/5 Beata J. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food and very nice service!

  • 4/5 Luke K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's pretty good for the price. Nothing super fancy here. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick. Things are spaced out nicely for COVID. Overall this place is pretty alright.

  • 5/5 Bansari T. 2 years ago on Google
    I got the ‘flavor savor’ plate for take out and OMG. So goood ! It was very well packed and the quantity was perfect. Would definitely get it again :)

  • 5/5 Brett P. 2 years ago on Google
