Aladdin - Allentown

Love love love this place! My go to when I am back in town. They have the freshest and best Mediterranean food. My husband loves the arnabit and I love the hummus deluxe, which in my opinion is the best hummus ever. For dinner I always go for the shish taouk or the kafta but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Oh and on weekends they have live entertainment. This is a great family owned restaurant that puts pride in all they do.

The kebab with rice was somewhat enjoyable, different from the typical Middle Eastern restaurant options. The Turkish coffee had a medicinal taste and the baklava was dry. Hopefully it was just an off day. The staff and management were friendly and welcoming.

We were very disappointed with our meal at this restaurant. The appetizers (Arab flatbread and hummus) were decent, but the main courses (Lamb kebabs, Chicken kebabs) were bland and seemed too expensive for the small portion sizes.

I really enjoy the older style decor at this restaurant! The food is fantastic, always hot and fresh. It was a bit crowded when I visited, but the service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Friendly Service. Rather large menu. May help to make a reservation ahead of time. A little bit pricey but usually Middle Eastern or Mediterranean is a bit pricier. They have live belly dancing on Saturday nights. Friendly Reminder, it is BYOB! We got a dip sampler with Hummus, Babaganoush, and one other. Ed's Favorite is a good kabob if you want a sampler for 1.
