We read so many great reviews of this place, that we wanted to come here for a long time.
The location itself is nice. The service was okay, but we were a bit disappointed by the food. We know Mediterranean food quite well, from trips to various countries in the Middle East, and countless visits to Mediterranean restaurants all over the world. The food was average and it wasn't seasoned authentic.
We ordered 'the complete dinner'. The appetizers were okay, we liked the grape leaves best. The house salad was very good, I especially liked the dressing. For the entree we both took the lamb. The meat (chicken and lamb) was very tender and juicy, but we would have wished for more spices and herbs! The rice was really boring.
We decided to take the baklava home, which was part of our meal. We just got one small piece for the two of us. When we asked why, the owner, who was our waitress for the evening, told us she decides to give just one piece for two if she doesn't have enough, other days it might be two. A couple of minutes earlier I heard her giving a couple baklava on the house! We were really disappointed as we paid for it.
We are disappointed that we didn't have a better experience at Aladdin. We might not visit this place again in the future, but luckily there are other Mediterranean restaurants in the area!
