" The dinner I had at Aladdin's was quite memorable. The restaurant was bustling with guests enjoying their meals, which added to the lively atmosphere. I had the chicken shawarma which was juicy and packed full of flavor. The service was a bit slow at first, but once we were attended to, everything went smoothly. I would say the portions are fair for the price, though slightly less than I expected from a Middle Eastern restaurant. Probably one of the best dining experiences I've had lately! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Aladdin's Casbah, and while the food was generally enjoyable, the experience left something to be desired. Our server seemed overwhelmed, which led to slow service and some mix-ups in our orders. However, the food itself was quite good; the flavors were authentic, and the portions were decent, although a bit pricey considering the total bill. The atmosphere was inviting, but I found it quite loud at times. I was looking forward to the belly dancing but missed it since we were seated too late. Overall, I think there is potential for a great experience, but attention to service needs to be addressed. I'll consider giving it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty enjoyable time at Aladdin’s Casbah. The menu had a lot of enticing options, and I ended up going with the lamb chops, which were cooked just right. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere with friends, although the service could have been better during peak hours. I'd love to come back and try some other menu items, especially the desserts! I recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy Lebanese cuisine in Calgary. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Aladdin's! The ambience was inviting, the staff was excellent, and the food was delightful. We had the lamb and a variety of sides, all of which were fantastic. The only downer was that we had to wait longer for our food than expected. However, it was certainly worth the wait. For authentic Lebanese food, this restaurant should be on everyone’s list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Aladdin's Casbah and was disappointed. The flavors didn't quite live up to the authenticity I expected, particularly the kofta which was bland. The service was attentive but felt forced. Also, the portions were smaller than I anticipated for the price. I would not recommend it to friends looking for genuine Middle Eastern food. Sad to say, but I might not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had my first visit to Aladdin’s Casbah and it was an interesting experience. I loved the setup and decor, which felt very cultural, but the service was lacking. My server seemed overwhelmed as I noticed her struggling to keep track of orders. The food itself was good—my skewers were flavorful—but I found the portions to be smaller than I anticipated for the price. I would consider visiting again, but I hope for a smoother service experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm so glad I found Aladdin's Casbah! The flavors were vibrant, especially the grilled platter we ordered which had a wonderful assortment. The service was friendly, and they made us feel very welcome. I appreciate that the restaurant focuses on authenticity; you can taste the love they put into their dishes. I look forward to visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)
