" Tonight's dinner was exceptional! We ordered the Turkish coffee and were blown away; it’s strong, rich, and so flavorful. I also loved the baba ganouj, which was the perfect blend of smokiness and creaminess. The atmosphere was cozy; I could see this becoming my go-to spot in town! The only downside was that they ran out of my favorite rose lemonade early in the evening, which was unfortunate. Otherwise, everything else was great! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Aladdin Cafe. The food was savory, and I had the lentil soup as a starter, which was fantastic! The seating was cozy, and I loved their middle-eastern decor. The only downside was that the waiter seemed a bit distracted and forgetful. Though, the other staff made sure we felt welcomed and valued. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aladdin Cafe is a delightful Mediterranean restaurant. I enjoyed the Petra platter and a bowl of their lentil soup, which hit the spot on a chilly day. The service was very friendly; our server made great recommendations and kept our drinks filled. The only downside was that there was a bit of a wait for our food during busy hours. Set that aside, the flavors were vibrant and enjoyable. I would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Aladdin Cafe, and it was a pleasant surprise! My partner and I ordered the kebab platter. All served on a beautiful dish with vibrant colors and flavors. The place had a lovely atmosphere, and the old-world decor added a lot to the dining experience. I appreciate that they offer halal options, which made it easier for us to enjoy together. We will certainly be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discover laughably bad service here on my recent visit. We waited for the waiter to take our order for way too long. When the food came, all I could think about was the wait. The chicken was great, but my enjoyment was tempered by the service issues. I would have loved to try their baklava, which I've heard wonderful things about, but I was too frustrated to stay longer. Might return for the food, but not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Aladdin Cafe was memorable! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly. I ordered the lentil soup, which was a delightful combination of fresh flavors. The kebabs were well-seasoned, grilled to perfection, and very tender. The owner came by our table to ensure everything was satisfactory, which was a nice touch. My only complaint was the bathroom could use some upkeep, but other than that, the experience was largely positive! I will definitely return for their rose lemonade! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather unfortunate experience at Aladdin Cafe. The chicken I ordered was undercooked and the service staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. Despite this, the atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant. I raised my concerns, and the staff graciously offered to replace my dish, which was appreciated. I do think they provide a warm welcome, but they need to improve on kitchen consistency. I might return hoping for a better outcome next time. " (*Curated Review*)
