Aladdin's Café

This place is a real find. In totally unpretentious surroundings, it provides HONEST Lebanese dishes of highest quality. You will not be disappointed with anything!

Amazing fried kibbi and the meat pies were really good. The food is aromatic but not in a way that overwhelms the actual taste like you get at some places. Good portions, as well. The waiter was a little hard to understand but very attentive. Excellent and we will definitely be back!

I believe all of the reviews will agreed at least in one thing: tastes like homemade. The food, the restaurant and the staff will make you feel like you are eating at your parents house and they cooked you a meal. Everything felt very healthy and delicious. They have a wide variety of food so vegetarian friends and meat lovers folks will find a good amount of options. Very spacious and welcoming. The server suggested options and was very knowledgeable about the food and the ingredients on it. Definitely coming back!

I went there with the hunger to order good food. I took time and ordered a vegetarian combo($24), it listed a variety of items included in the combo. I expected they would at least serve 3-5 falafels and small bowls of hummus and baba ganoush, but unfortunately they did serve them in a small vertical plate that looked like an appetizer plate rather than a combo meal 😭. The food tasted good, but the quantity wasn't matching with their pricing. The lamb appetizer was very sweet and again just 3-4 small bites in a bowl for $10 and yeah the pita was cold😥 . I took kunafa, it was really good, the base was too much roasted, was difficult to cut through but tasted very nice. Overall, the food tastes good but pricing is really high considering the quantity they give. Two people spent $46 for three small plates of food that didn't fill our tummy, so we had to stop by another restaurant.

I would have given this place five stars if its atmosphere was just a little bit better. The food was absolutely delicious. Savory flavor full and aromatic. Rice was cooked to perfection as well as vegetables and all the meat 🍖. I had the combo platter which actually goes by different name on the as it does on their internet menu. Family-owned and friendly. Service was really good as well however I was the only person in the restaurant at the time. But everything was served inappropriate order as well as check Backs. Unfortunately I was enjoying myself too much and forgot to take pictures of my food. This place is definitely worth checking out.

Absolutely beautiful and amazing home cooked fresh food from Lebanon 🇱🇧 ♥️ Everything is absolutely delicious. My family and I are very health conscious and eat for our health. This place has the best fresh and homemade hummus with warm pita. The lentil soup is so wonderful also. They have many vegan and vegetarian friendly options. They make their own dressing for their salads my husband was licking his plate clean. Also the Turkish coffee was so yummy. I loved the Lebanese hot tea. This restaurant is located in a small shopping plaza. The owner is wonderful and takes good care of all of his customers. If you have ever been to Lebanon 🇱🇧 and had their amazing dishes then if you are looking for authentic restaurant in the states this is the place you need to try.

The overall experience was a five because of the authenticity of the food and our waiter, Mohammed. As soon as we came in we were sat right away and everything was pretty fast but we didn’t feel rushed at all. Mohammed was very friendly and answered all our questions and more. The portion sizes are perfect. Everything is homemade and delicious!

Amazing authentic Lebanese food. Stopped by on a Thur nite and very surprised to see it empty. Was recommended by a co-worker who was half-Lebanese. Food was so delicious! Ingredients were fresh and high quality - no gristle in any of my meat dishes. Had baba ghanouj, grape leaves, shish tawook to start. Baba was smooth, creamy, well-blended with a hint of smoky flavor but not overpowering. The olive oil mixed with it was so good - best way to describe was a clean flavor without leaving any greasy residue. Of course it was imported from a Mediterranean Arabic country, hence the flavor - Hassan the owner said from Morocco or Syria. Grape leaves had vegetarian option so I chose meat! Very tasty, not oily. Shish tawook (chicken kabob) had a nice grilled flavor, nicely tender and marinated. I like the Persian version (shish tavook) a little bit better because it is a little juicier, but the Lebanese was not dried at all - slightly different flavor and definitely warrants a reorder on return visit - and I tend not to order chicken dishes so that says something! Fried kibbi was very good - least favorite but I would reorder again, yes. Crunchy outside, tasty, soft/crumbly inside, meat minced well and not gamey. Makanek was very delicious even though drenched in oil. The sausage had a robust flavor that was not gamey (I love lamb), and stood up well in oil. Very savory but lean flavor - some sausages taste savory due in part to fatty content, but not this one. Baklava was excellent in the tradition of other Arabic cuisines - tend to be drier vs Greek which is wet. Not to the extremely dry end which tends to be very flaky and crumbles. Just wet enough to notice the honey, and no syrupy or cloying sweetness. Would describe the sweetness as not overpowering, even a little subtle, dissolves almost like a powder even though no sugar dust. The owner told me 30 year history of establishment, and how it has been a favorite of foreign dignitaries when they travel to FL. I can see why. Reminds me of an Afghan restaurant in upper East side of Manhattan that had same claim (Pamir). And yes, prices reasonable. Forgot to mention the nice service by owner and the refreshing hot green tea (Moroccan with mint). Mint nicely soothes the entire GI tract, but be wary if you have GERD, not to lay down for at least 2 hrs after (if you have average gastric emptying time) - the tea is soothing but not sleep inducing, so you might be tempted.
