Aladdin’s Eatery Squirrel Hill

Some of the best baba ganoush I ever had, everything was so good and service was fantastic especially from our waitress Julia! The cheesecake selection is out of this world, everything is so good can't recommend enough

It’s a no-frills restaurant with really good Mediterranean food. I had the falafel, which was extremely fresh and nicely seasoned. I had the tahini sauce and the spicy sauce with it, and both of them were amazing. You get free pet on the side that you can use to wrap your falafel in. I also got the chicken Shawarma, which again was very fresh and very tasty. It’s a very simple wrap with just charred pieces of chicken, onions, and sauce in pita bread, but the chicken is so well cooked and juicy that this makes this simple wrap extremely delicious. Don’t expect anything in terms of decor or ambience. The staff were attentive and the service was extremely quick. I would definitely be back again.

I was looking for a spot to work on a drawing over the weekend, and I saw that this one had a lot of seating and lots of vegan things to eat (perfect!). I Aladdin's Falafel Rolled, and I had a mango juice and pita/hummus as appetizers. Everything was great! The roll was a little crispy on the outside, the mango juice was super sweet and tasty, and I was happy to get some lovely pita and hummus. The service was also amazing. My server was checking up whenever I needed anything else and was very friendly. I am very glad I visited; this is a warm restaurant:)

I’ve only had their food via DoorDash, but I want to leave a review here on Google as well. Because I’ve only had a delivery I cannot vouch for service or atmosphere. I have ordered the vegetarian platter/sampler twice. I don’t usually order the same thing twice from a restaurant, but that’s how good it was. It comes with falafel, Baba gannouj, tabouli, hummus, and dawali. My second order I also got additional tabouli. Everything was so delicious!!

I've had takeout from here as well as dine in. The food is consistently good. Service is also really fast and very friendly. Our latest adventure was dining with three young kids, and it was very pleasant. We went when it was not too busy and had a great meal. I really like"pitza" dishes, though I would recommend ordering that as dine in rather than take out as it gets a little soggy. Baba ganoush here is particularly good, as is their everyday pita bread. Also IMO the kids chicken tenders (which are grilled) with rice is a very solid dish.
