The restaurant section seems to be closed now. I have been to Aladdin a few times over the years and my latest experience just re-enforced why I haven't been more regularly. Management has changed recently so I thought I'd give this place another chance.

I politely queried this with the manager after paying and he dismissively replied, 'what shall I do?'. I responded quite simply, 'you could charge a lower price', you'd have more custom for starters I thought (it's really not that difficult).
The customer service disappointingly also matched the standard of the Shisha.

Read moreI havent been to this restraunt/shisha bar but i have heard their music from my house and its flipping disgusting at early hours of the morning, their music is that loud its like their in ur front room.

Im not happy at all...
