Aladdin's Eatery - Mentor

My wife and I have dined at this restaurant several times before, but this time I was on my own and found it odd that I was the first to leave a review! Although this place is not strictly a vegetarian restaurant, there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available. The menu is clearly labeled so you can easily spot these dishes. The ambiance is lovely, the service is friendly, the prices are affordable, the food is delicious, and there are many choices. During our last visit on April 11, 2017, we tried the mujadara plate and a baba fala roll, both of which were excellent. I also highly recommend the hot sauce they make in-house. The portions are generous, so you won't leave hungry. There are also about a dozen vegan appetizers for those with a hearty appetite. This chain has locations in the Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Columbus, and Cincinnati areas, as well as several in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

I was visiting my in-laws for a few months and they were not familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine, so I found this restaurant and decided to take them there! The baba ganoush was amazing, even better than the hummus in my opinion, and the pitas were served warm. I ordered the veggie appetizer platter, which included hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, falafel, and tabbouleh. Everything was really tasty. The service was quick and friendly, and there were many different portion sizes available. Be sure to try the dawali and baba ganoush and enjoy the meal with friends!

Sat there for 30 mins. Nobody came to take the order or brought water even though the restaurant wasn’t crowded. Had to leave after waiting.

Mediterranean Food is the Delicious Equalizer! If there are vegans and carnivores in your group, you cannot go wrong with a Mediterranean Restaurant. Delicious options. Quick and friendly service of delicious food from start to finish. We began with ice waters and one from our party ordered a freshly squeezed juice, the Honeymooner. Ingredients were carrot, grape, and cucumber. Fresh is an understatement! This was delicious and refreshing after a humid day. Appetizers began with hummus, the entry level appetizer that sets the dining experience. What a delicious treat! The right ratio of chickpeas and tahini topped with olive oil and spices. A fresh slice of tomato and cucumber. Wonderful to dip pita in this. Next was an order of Sfiha. This was a scrumptious dish of sautéed lean ground beef, lightly fried pine nuts, onions, tomatoes, and herbs folded into a pita pie and topped with cheddar and scallions. We had to pace ourselves to save room for our main courses. First main plate was the Chicken Curry Pitza. This was a crispy flat pita with honey dijon topped with curried chicken, peas, sliced onions, banana peppers, and fried onions. If you like savory, spice and a tiny hint of heat, this is a great option. Next was the Flavor Savor Special. Proper name! Highlight were the chicken mishwi and beef kafta that sat on a bed of rice with vermicelli and served with fresh greens, more yummy hummus, and falafel. This hits the flavor wheel. Moist, savory, wonderful balance of protein and carbs. Small shop that offers to-go traditional desserts single to a family pack. No room for dessert and to go boxes were needed.
