The short version of my review is that the food was okay the service wasn't very warm and I won't be going back. For the long version, continue to read. I'm a lover of Mediterranean / Greek / Lebanese food and I wanted to treat myself today for a nice sit-down Mediterranean meal. So I googled nearby Mediterranean places and got Aladdin. This was, of course, my first time coming here so I was excited to experience something different, maybe a new favorite. When I walked in there was no greeting from any of the staff. Everyone in line before me and behind me got bread while I had to ask for mine. Once I got my food, it was not much to write home about. I ordered the caramelized onion hummus, the tabouli, saffron rice, and the snapper which totaled out to about $15 or so. It was my first time trying tabouli and it was very good. The hummus was amazing especially on the bread. The saffron rice was okay lacking flavor and depth, but the snapper was the worst out of the four dishes. It was swimming in tomato based broth with carrots and green beans and seemed a bit underdone. There wasn't much seasoning to it at all and overall was just a bland dish. For $15, I expected the snapper to be a little bit more than what it was. The size of the snapper was substantial but the flavor was way below par. So overall with the lack of customer service, the middle of the road food, and the beautiful ambiance, I would rate this restaurant three out of five stars. I don't think this is my new favorite restaurant and I might not be visiting again but it...

See the video. I found a penny in my salad. I had already eaten part of it before noticing the coin, and had a copper taste in my mouth all night. I woke up nauseous. The employee who served me is visible in the video. The metal bowl he scooped the spinach from was almost empty, so he should have seen or heard the penny. Either way, it should not have been there.

When I brought it up, he implied I was lying and gave me a hostile stare like he wanted to fight me. Completely unacceptable behavior. Your staff needs to take responsibility for serving contaminated food.

I had no reason to put a penny in my own salad. I was hungry and came here for a healthy meal, as I’ve done many times before. But after this, you’ve lost a repeat customer.

And to make it worse, on December 30, 2024, I literally stopped an arsonist from burning down your building. I told the employee about this before eating, and he just laughed at me. When the fire happened, I ran into this restaurant to alert staff, and they just stared at me and did nothing. I had to take action myself and got HFD to the scene.

To be treated like this, after protecting your business and then eating food with a coin in it, is beyond disrespectful. You should be ashamed of how this was handled.

I was sick for 3 days! If I didn’t take a bunch of probiotics, drink filtered water, and rest, it would have been longer.

What a terrible...
