All around very pleased with this place and will be back. The hummus is high quality and creamy. The lamb kebabs were delicious! Ask for medium rare. The chicken shawarma was good but it did have an interesting flavor that I haven't tasted so strongly in Mediterranean food before, I think it was cardamom or allspice. So if you're not used to those flavors, go for something else. Slightly pricey but portions are good.

May the fourth be with you and on this July 4th May you have dinner of the best middle Eastern food there is at Aladdin ! order Zarb, lamb cooked Uber a salt bed over veggies, 48 in advance for incomparable flavor! a tad expensive but great for and service.

QUICKIE UPDATE: Called ahead of time and got the Maklobeh. There was four of us. I cannot express to you how much food this was by itself. I am confident in saying this could feed 6, easily. Additionally tried out the mixed grill (combo #11). Everything was seasoned well with flavor. The chicken had a great kick to it. Waitress informed us we could just order "All Natural Free Range Chicken Kebab" (combo #4) and ask for the thigh to get the meat from the mixed grill. She said it was commonly asked about.

Food is still consistently delicious! We always get the Chicken Tikka plate, Greek Salad and Moroccan tea. Flavorful and healthy dishes, consistently happy. We come at least once a month. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare, so recommend going in off hours to offset that and the crowds.

I haven't been here in YEARS, and it's as great as it always has been. The menu has definitely expanded since the last time I was here, while also keeping the original favorites. Love, love everything we had. I need to come over more often!

Located off of Clairemont Mesa Blvd in a small shopping area and depending when you go, parking can be a challenge. We went on a Thursday night at 6pm and the parking lot was full. They offer indoor as well as patio seating. Customer service was amazing as well as the food! We ordered a lot and it came out quick! It's recommended to set a reservation as this restaurant is very popular and stays busy all the way up to closing time. Now I know why, the food is AMAZING! We ordered: Jafar's pizza - good Mix grill (added rice and salad) - A MUST, moist and delicious meats Grass fed baby lamb chops - OMG A MUST, order as many lamb chops as possible! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Lamb borak - A MUST, order 2 Hummus w/Shawerma - I have never has hummus so smooth and fresh, shawerma was a plus for flavor and texture Hawawshi - good but, Lamb borak is where it is at! Kunafa w/cream - so DELISH! I haven't had the cheese filled yet but, I will next time we go. Cream filling is amazing though! Baklava w/Turkish ice cream - OMG, order two or three! One order per person, IT'S THAT AMAZING Passion fruit tea - Just a hint of flavor...just FYI their tea is not that sweet but you can order it extra sweet. Mango tea - I'd prefer mango over passion. More flavorful and definitely ask for extra sweet! If in Clairemont, give them a try! You're welcome in advance!

Friday night evening out with the family. We had the pleasure to sit in Hazma section. What a great waiter. Great service, great personality and gave us excellent customer service. Our drinks were full, food was delivered fast and hot and plentiful food served on each entree. Delicious flavors. We ordered the mixed grill, had chicken, lamb, steak, hummus, salad and basmati rice. We ate so much and still had plenty to take home. Excellent place for lunch or dinner. We will be back.
