Aladdin Restaurant

I grew up in Detroit. This place is as good as anything on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn. Favorite restaurant in Berks. The place is always empty. I am terrified of the day I am going to pull in and see it closed. This place is too good for Berks County.

NO TAP WATER! This is unacceptable! The food was average at best. Our server was fine, no problems. The whole experience was ok.

I've been here many times and the food is excellent. I know they close at 2 and open again at 4:30. Today I arrived at 1:30 and sat in the parking lot for 20 mins for the rain to slow down as I'm a wheelchair user. When I got to the door I was greeted by a very rudeemployee who informed me that they close at 2 andwere about to close any minute. I was hoping to get take out but she was so rude I didn't even ask. So beware , you better get there by 1:00 because they close at 2:00 sharp,you wouldn't want to have to leave before you finish your meal....

When I arrived at the restaurant, it looked empty around lunch on a Saturday but it was a dreary, rainy day. I was the only person at the place but I was greeted by the 2 people I saw working there. They were both very pleasant. I ordered the Hummus with Meat and a Small Fattoush salad. The Fattoush salad had crisp vegetables and had allot of seasoning. I was surprised how much flavor it had given some of the other reviews I read stating it was bland. That was not the case at all. Once of the things I like the most about the Fattoush is the toasted pita slices which IT DID NOT HAVE..... so I had some disappoint there. The Hummus was also really good. It was the style similar to what I was used to. What I mean by this is I grew up in a home where Lebanese food was a once a week thing. I got used to a particular type of Hummus, made with a particular consistency with allot of Garlic but not allot of Tahini . As I traveled the US it was different everywhere I tried. When I started traveling the world, wow, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, and Israel all had drastically different styles. This made me OPEN MY MIND and palate to different regional preparations. So when I read reviews saying they were from the middle east and it was terrible, I took it as a preference. The Quality was great and the flavor was good for me, too. I will go again and get some of the other plates and update if anything changes. Oh yeah, they gave me plenty of PIta bread with my order, not like 3 small triangles but 12 large triangles.
