While the platform category is listed as Chinese Restaurant, Aladdin Pita specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine. Customers consistently praise the food quality and reasonable prices.

Service is generally considered good, although one reviewer noted it could be a "bit slow," particularly when the restaurant gets busy. However, the staff is described as friendly.

Popular food items include the exceptionally smooth hummus and the perfectly cooked falafel, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The shawarma is noted for its great flavor, although one customer found it slightly dry. For dessert, the rice pudding received high praise, even from a self-proclaimed "harsh critic" of the dish.

This place has great food at reasonable prices with good service. They have great lentil soup, and they give you warm pita and hummus, both of which are delicious. It's a bit unassuming, and they have a small grocery store right when you walk in, but the restaurant is nice and a very pleasant place for a nice lunch. I also tried the rice pudding, and I'm a harsh citric of rice puddings, but this one was excellent. This review is based on 3 experiences about 6 months apart.

The food here is seriously good! The hummus is so smooth, and the falafel is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—just perfect. The shawarma had great flavor, though it was a little on the dry side. Service was friendly but a bit slow, especially when it got busy. The place itself is cozy but could use a little sprucing up. Overall, if you’re craving solid Middle Eastern food, it’s a great spot.

The wait staff was polite and the service was prompt. The cuisine was excellent! Everything was created by hand and fresh. You can taste the flavors in every bite, making it real. Both the coffee and the freshly squeezed orange juice were excellent. I can't believe I've waited this long to try this hidden gem—I can't wait to return soon!

The service was fast and the wait staff were very friendly. The food was delicious! Everything was fresh and homemade. Definitely authentic and you can taste the seasonings in every bite. The coffee was delicious but so was the hand squeezed orange juice. Can’t wait to come back again soon, can’t believe I’ve waited this long to try this hidden gem!

Been about 10+ years since I been here, food is still cooked very well, and tasty. Some items are a little pricey, but overall good deals still. Had a meal for around 14$ and I enjoy the dark ambience inside.
