" I visited Aladdin's Casbah with a group of friends and had a great time! The atmosphere was vibrant with the added entertainment of belly dancing, which made our experience more enjoyable. The food was delicious and full of flavor; I particularly liked the grilled prawns. Service was initially slow but improved as the night went on. It’s a fun place to celebrate special occasions or just enjoy a night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise Aladdin's Casbah enough for its authentic Lebanese cuisine. From the minute you walk in, you are greeted with warm smiles and the enticing aroma of spices. The king platter is an absolute must-try; it offers a variety of meats and was more than enough for our group. The atmosphere is lively, with great music and the occasional performance that keeps the energy high. One minor letdown was that we encountered a delay in service, but it was understandable given how busy they were. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a true Lebanese dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Aladdin's Casbah was quite nice. The interior was inviting, with comfortable seating. The ambience was lively yet relaxing. I ordered their falafel and it was crispy and full of flavor! I did notice that the service was somewhat slow in handling payments, which was a bit frustrating, but the food absolutely made up for it. I will likely return just for the falafel! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to celebrate my birthday at Aladdin's Casbah after hearing so many great things about it, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The mix of colors and flavors in each dish was extraordinary! I especially loved the lamb chops—they were perfectly spiced and tender. The staff was incredibly attentive, and I appreciate the personalized service we received. I felt like we were part of a family gathering rather than just another table in a restaurant. They even brought out a complimentary dessert for my birthday, which was a sweet touch! The belly dancer's performance added to the festive atmosphere and really made my night special. Overall, an incredible dining experience that I can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise at Aladdin's Casbah! I had dinner here with a couple of friends, and it felt like we were transported to the heart of Lebanon.

I encourage anyone looking for quality Lebanese food in Calgary to consider this amazing place. We will surely be back! " (*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*)
