Shawarma Heaven

by Ambrish at Citysearch

Among my favorite spots in the whole city. I feel very comfortable going here just about any time of the year. They have outdoor seating throughout summer which is perfect for getting early dinner and drinks. They do serve alcohol. Their food has been consistently excellent over the last 5 years that I have eaten there. They make an excellent Chicken Shawarma Roll. My favorites have been that, the Baba Ghanouj, Falafel, the Jasmine's Special (rice and vegetables lightly spiced and topped with meat of your choice) and their Fresh Raw Juice Combos and Smoothies. It's a very friendly atmosphere and even though their service is sometimes a little stretched, they more than make up for it with their consistently delicious food. For the demanding eaters out there, their tableware is always spotless and their restaurant is very clean (including the restroom). I would recommend Aladdin's highly for that lazy afternoon lunch

• Pros: Consistently Good Food, Inexpensive, Variety of meats, very clean tableware.
• Cons: Scarce Street Parking, High Traffic Intersection

i can't say enough great things about this place. the service, for the most part, is great. the food is beyond delish. i've only had the falaffel salad and the tuna steak salad b/c i can't break myself away from the great creamy dressing. my boyfriend usually has a falaffel or some sort of sandwich which he craves too. the place is an amazing value. two can eat for way under $20. the special drinks look great too. i plan on trying one next time!
