I promised I’d give a review so here it goes,
This place was mentioned on Facebook the daughter shared it and they had vegan options for my boyfriend which is what originally intrigued me aside from the wrap they shared.
I ordered a gyro over rice plate, shawarma wrap, and my boyfriend ordered chick pea curry (which the wife made a fresh batch of)…and samosas. My mom ordered butter chicken and to be honest I ended up eating majority of hers and my wrap. They did at first forget my gyro but I understood and he even offered us all shaved ice which was such a treat. Everything was amazing! And it is all homemade.
I came back the next night (tonight) after sharing on Facebook and he was so excited and over the moon gracious. They even stayed open late to prepare our to go food.
The mixed reviews I saw on Facebook were only two bad out of like 15 comments of praises… which I’d like to address, two said the food wasn’t good but cultural differences in food especially cuisine like this comes down to unique spices and it’s not for everyone. But by no means does it make the food bad.
The second was someone saying the owners were rude. I’m in customer service and I could tell that at first both husband and wife are just nervous. Once you talk to both of them they are genuinely sweet and treat you like family.
I love this little place and the atmosphere is so peaceful the tranquility of the water and little umbrellas and genie lamps.
I understand it’s not for everyone but for me and my family we truly love this little gem.
And the butter chicken speaks to my soul ! It’s the most comforting meal especially with my PCOS which makes a lot of meals inflammatory for me. But not this place.
I hope this place continues to thrive and that the universe brings you all the right praises and all the right Yes’s and people your...

You are greeted very welcomingly upon arrival. Food is ordered at the counter and paid up front and prices were fair based on the quality and quantity of food. You can dine-in or take-out. They were out of some menu items, but what we did order was all so very good, that it didn't seem to matter.
You seat yourself, and when ready, the food will be brought to the table. Although it's not full service, and we did have to get up to buy more canned drinks (next time I'll be sure to buy two per person initially), they did check on us several times, to be sure that the food was prepared to our liking.
It is very clean and organized inside. It has a casual dining atmosphere. The decor adds a touch of theme/cultural style, while still remaing relaxing with a small fountain, and big screen television which scrolls serene scenic views.
The flavors of food served here is OUTSTANDING! The cuisine can be considered Greek/Indian. There is spice involved, but it's very well-balanced, and not overwhelming. The menu features items such as: ChickPeas Curry (tried❤️-has a kick but is so full of depth flavor), Samosa, Tandoori Naan (tried❤️- lightly crisp outside and fluffy goodness inside), Wraps, Combo Kebob Plates (I had Beef Seekh which was melt in your mouth tender, curry rice was fluffy and light. ❤️). Hubby had the Chicken Biryani ❤️ and loved it! I tasted it, and the chicken was literally falling off the bones. We were told that it's a Sunday only special, so we will definitely keep that in mind! Kheer Rice Pudding (tried❤️-more creamy than sweet).
Overall, very satisfied! We will be...
Read moreAladdin Kebab House experience. My wife and I were excited to try this place based on a few reviews I read, so tonight we went. Terrible experience. Chicken Biryani meat was so dry and tough it was difficult to stick the fork in it. Spicy steak combo comes with bread (I'll get back to this), chick pea soup, salad and rice. The flavors of the rice and chick pea were very good, BUT both were served room temperature. The spicy steak was so dry and overcooked it literally crumbled in my mouth in a very weird way. Beef Gyro was hot and very good, so that was the only positive. After I picked over my spicy steak combo I looked up at the menu and realized I never got my naan (the menu says "All combos come with bread..) I approached the server and asked about it and she said she would bring it. 5 minutes later I approached the cashier to tell her I couldn't wait any longer, since we were finished picking over the food. She told me "the bread doesn't come with it anyway, but we're giving it to you". I said the sign says it's included with ALL combos. She replied, "all combos except the Biryani", to which I replied, "well I ordered the spicy beef combo". After that, none of the 4 people working there would even look at me or respond in any way. As I walked out, the cashier said in front of everyone, "I don't appreciate your attitude". Quite the negative experience. ...
