Aladdin

Thoroughly enjoyable dinner. Came here with seven other people. We did make reservations, but it was a weeknight and they could have accommodated us without a problem. There is a parking lot so it was easy for us to meet up there. The decor is somewhat dated but interesting. The table cloths added an air of formality to the setting. Service was good and they do offer a kids menu. The appetizer platter was good And several of us could have had it for a meal. I had the lamb and mushroom stew. It had a yellow curry powder flavor, which, to be honest, is not my favorite. But it was well prepared and of sufficient quantity that I ended up taking some home. The other members of the party had shish kebab of various types. The food was tasty and well prepared. I recommend giving this place Aladdin a try

Had dinner on a Tuesday evening. I thought the food was average tasting. Not as much flavor as I would have expected. Ordered the lamb chops. I think in the past they gave 3 chops whereas now it's only 2. Price bit high for 2. Also there was no entertainment on that evening. I think the prices are high because of the entertainment on the weekends. But then prices should be lower on days there isn't any. Also missing is a homemade hot sauce. Asked for it and they gave me the standard one from a bottle.

Had a reservation at 7. Dining room had 3 other parties. I tried the kus kus, falafel, and baklava. Our server Jackie was great. No belly dancer that night. Was in good company. Food was okay.

We loved everything about this place. The food was amazing, we got the appetizer platter which was honestly the perfect amount of food for 4 of us along with the falafel spread. 4 people fed for a little over $60, amazing food and atmosphere! Definitely worth a visit. The staff was also very friendly and attentive.

Just had my first experience at Aladdin and it was wonderful! The hostess was attentive and very friendly (she also was our waitress). As our waitress she was just as incredible, kept an eye on our table, explained the menu and provided suggestions that ended up being delicious! I had the Pie Sampler as an appetizer then for the main the Kefta Kabab and finished off with a traditional Baklava for dessert with a Turkish Coffee. We went on a Saturday night so there was a Belly Dancer who got the audience participating, clapping, dancing and laughing. Also, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Well 100% return for more of this delightful restaurant! Can’t wait to go back.

Aladdin is hands down one of my favorite spots in Allentown! The food is always super fresh and full of flavor — you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. The portions are generous and everything I’ve tried has been delish! The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the place has a nice, relaxed vibe. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal with friends, you can’t go wrong here. Definitely recommend Aladdin if you’re in the area!

Good food, ambiance, only thing needs to be improved is if they can have a dedicated person at the entrance, I waited for 5 mins just to see if someone works here and I can get seated. Once the lady came from kitchen the experience was excellent.

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!
