    Easily in the Top 3 restaurants in San Diego. Food is perfectly seasoned and very well prepared. The meat quality tastes top tier. The cheese Borak and lamb Borak are a must do Appetizer. We also love the Hawawshi with a side of garlic spread. The lamb chops are our absolute favorite entree, served with a hummus that is light and has a smooth consistency. The staff is very friendly, professional, quick, and a pleasure to talk with. We appreciate the relaxed atmosphere with ample indoor and outdoor seating. The music is lively and noise level is appropriate to bring Grandma out for dinner.

    the prices are kinda high but you get a LOT of food at least with the shawarma rice plate. maybe enough to feed 2 or 3 considering I'm almost already full with just the pita and hummus before getting to the main course. and its ultra fresh. but the marinade for all of their meats is some of the best I've encountered. rarely i come across a restaurant I'm as excited to go to as this one.

    My husband and I have been trying to find new restaurants with vegetarian options in San Diego and we were not disappointed! Aladdin Mediterranean had such amazing food and tons of options for us! Their falafels and hummus are some of the best I’ve ever tasted (and I’ve had a lot). The sesame seeds on the outside are such a great addition to the flavor profile! We tried the falafels by themselves and in a wrap, both were killer! They also have a delicious vegetarian pizza that I can’t wait to order again! I also enjoyed the fries that came with the falafel wrap. We will definitely be regulars here! Give them a try if you’re looking for delicious food! We ordered take-out so the photos aren’t the best.

    The mix kabob plate was delicious and enough for 4 grown men, I know the menu looks pricey but the quantity is more than enough so well worth it. 4 grown men ate for $101 total that’s a great price . Service was also very good

    We were treated extraordinarily well by the cordial Travis H. The mezza platter 🍽️ was scrumptious 🤤 and amply sufficient for 3 grown males. Travis was also INCREDIBLY courteous enough to treat us to a delectable Baklava and Ice Cream 🍨. Patrons for Life 💝
