"There’s no shortage of solid gyro/falafel/shawarma joints on the Ave, but Aladdin Gyro-Cery stands out for turning up the decadence dial. The gyro here is heady with a hit of curry powder, the lamb shawarma wrap is a glorious mashup of meat and plant fats (lamb! sumac olive oil! hummus! tahini!) brightened with pickles, and the plant-based menu items aren’t mere “options,” but stand alone. The Aladdin veggie roll — falafel and fried cauliflower stuffed in a grilled pita, topped with cucumbers, parsley, pickles, tomatoes, and choice of hummus or baba ganoush — might be just the thing for herbivores and carnivores alike. And it’s all available ‘til at least 2 a.m., 2:30 a.m. on weekends." - Mark DeJoy
