We where visiting from out of town and it was in the middle of a snow storm. This restaurant was amazing, it was definitely the most authentic food I have ever eaten and customer service was amazing as well. We really didnt know what to get and the staff was very knowledgeable about all of the food and helped us choose our meals. I would recommend them again. Must try!
I love this place. The staff is always super friendly and pleasant. Ive been twice and ordered the musaka both times. It tasted wonderfully the same each time. Creamy, flavorful and just delicious.
I’ve been eating here for over 20 years. The last several years has been a disappointment. The chicken salad salad has almost no chicken in it at this point - mostly walnuts apples and celery now. And the last straw was taking the pistachio pasta off the menu. Just raise the prices for God’s sake and keep the quality - I would gladly pay. No longer my favorite go-to for takeout - not even on the list anymore.
I ordered a large Greek salad and it was absolutely wonderful. The ambience of the location was great and made it easy to have friendly conversation. We also had a bean based soup. It arrived at the table hot and freshly prepared.
Love this place! Great service with a really kind staff. Sitting on the balcony on a nice day have the city noise below you and plenty of opportunity to watch interesting people. Food is well prepared and comes out in a timely fashion. Portion sizes are great and the prices are more than fair!
I like Aladdins. The service was great!! Good was amazing!! I would give them 5 stars but I noticed an obvious difference in the portion size served to me and a man that ordered the same thing I did. If were paying the same price why would he get more?
Excellent, fresh salads and food overall. The service was perfect as well, even though one of the two ladies did not say thanks after our payment in cash with a tip.
First time there and it was not a long wait time and our food was delicious. I RESPECT the amount of cheese they put on my salad and pasta. New favorite place!
I have been getting my salads here for a while and they’re very good but the thing that disappoints me the most is how I have so many stalk pieces in my Caesar’s salad instead of leaves every time, the majority of the salad was all stalk! I hope they can change the way they chop their salad for a more enjoyable experience instead of me having to dig around in my salad.
Best labenese food in Rochester. Try the combo platters. Summers are amazing to sit outside with a chilled out vibe. Tea and cake are amazing after food. Must go
My husband and I were disappointed with the bitter taste of grilled eggplants and burned meat on top of not very fresh Mediterranean Salads. Baklava was good as always.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Rochester. Whenever Im craving something healthy I cant get this place out of my mind. Everything is fresh and light and the prices are surprisingly low. The torlou is one of my favorite appetizers, and the plates are all excellent. The chicken salad salad is also a favorite, it has apples in it and it is and not full of mayo like other chicken salads. I think my friends are tired of me always picking Aladdins because I love it so much! Consistent quality.
It was clean and well posted for directions about staying masks. The server was really helpful and polite. The food was amazing! Hand sanitizer around the place in easy to spot locations.
Pittsford’s Aladdin’s was a great dine-in! We had a nice waitress, the food came out relatively quickly, and it all tasted AMAZING. Could not even finish my plate (Vegetarian combo: Baba, Tourlou, and Falafel), it was so good! Not to mention, they are fortunately very generous with their portions 😉 Anyways, I was eager to try something new — the baba — but ended up not liking it which is fine, I’m glad I tried. Their tourlou is... to die for. It tastes so meaty, yet it’s simply a classy ratatouille of eggplant & garbanzo beans (chickpeas), seasoned PERFECTLY with peppers, onions, and garlic. Their falafel is tremendously flavorful and moist!It was just tender to the bite! Awesome chef/kitchen crew. We will be coming back for sure.
Excellent place, good food and a place that can come and clear, very nice people and although it can be improved in some aspects it is good.
We stopped by Aladdins for lunch after we couldnt get seated for an hour elsewhere before going to Geva for A Christmas Carol. We walked right in and were seated immediately. Our orders were taken and food came out promptly. It was so fast that we actually had some time to kill before the show! My pignolia was so delicious, I highly recommend! Rich taste but not heavy. Definitely worth a stop in!
My group and I ordered lunch here after getting a recommendation. The serving sizes were huge, the prices are great, and our waitress was absolutely lovely. However when we began eating we noticed a strange taste to our food. I pulled apart my Peta to try to find what it was when I realized lettuce tasted like grass. It looked fresh and it was crisp but it completely tasted like grass. 2 out of the three of us couldnt keep eating it and we sent the food out saying it wasnt good, expecting to just pay for our meals after our last member finished and get food elsewhere. The manager came to our table very accusatory and confrontational saying everything was great and we just didnt like her restaurant. When we told her everything was wonderful but the lettuce she pointed at the one who kept her meal then me saying I ate half my meal which is false(I had a few bites at most then pulled it apart). We repeatedly told her it was just the lettuce and would still be paying for our meals but the manager was still very rude then insisted on comping the meal. While she did remove one of the meals we sent back from the bill it was such a bad experience in an otherwise lovely place that Im giving two stars. It truly soured our days and was very disappointing. I hope this review doesnt deter any customers, as again everything else was absolutely amazing including the waitress besides dealing with the management after eating the lettuce. I also hope this helps improve customer interaction with the manager in the future.
I have been eating here for years and I love it! The food is always great, and I dont think theyve ever gotten our orders wrong, whether take out or delivery. My favorite menu items are the Baba and the beef kabob pita. This is absolutely my favorite Mediterranean place in town. The service has always been good with one exception when I brought a large group. That time it was truly terrible, and caused me to only get take out for a while. Glad I gave them another chance!
This is not your average greek restaurant that is small, cramped and mostly looks like a take out place. This place has a nice appeal and vibe to it as you enter. Has both indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor seating is located on the upper level with a decent view of Monroe Ave street. We went on a Saturday night around 7:30, the place had light crowd, the outdoor seating had more occupants than indoor so that’s where we decided to dine. The view is decent depending on the day you visit. Since it was Saturday night, there were lots of things going around on the street with bikers and muscle cars going around. Anyways, not deviating from the place, staff greeted us pleasingly and we took a comfy spot to sit. We had a Grilled Chicken Strips with Tahini for appetizer and a mixture of Freshly squeezed Orange and Carrot juice. The portion size was generous for 2. Chicken was well cooked, tender and juicy. The tahini sauce tasted well with the chicken and complimented it pretty well. The juices were exceptionally good and fresh. For the mains we had a chicken kebab pita wrap and a chicken gyro wrap. I think the chicken was same from the appetizer and only the sauce inside was different and the only difference between the 2 wraps was the chicken kebab wrap had Feta cheese in it giving it a slight sweet-sour taste and that made it taste better than the other wrap which was kind of bland and the only taste I enjoyed in it was when I dipped it in the tahini sauce left over from our appetizer. Quantity and quality was good, I only wish the chicken wrap had more punch in it. Overall it was a pleasant experience and one thing I truly loved here was the juice. Decently priced and freshly made, this place certainly gives the major juice places a run for their money.Score Card:Food - 4/5Ambience - 3.5/5Service - 3.5/5Value for Money - 3.5/5
Great Greek food in town. Lots of vegetarian options. Healthy and clean.
Monroe avenue restaurant was much less jammed, unlike Pittsford place. The 3 stories open space was perfect as COVID is still worrisome. The food was a touch better. The server was better, too. Parking was on Street and right in front of the restaurant.
Pasta had so much flavor. Reasonable prices.Dessert was delicious. Service was excellent.Cant wait to return to try More dishes.
Love the Mediterranean food and nice quick service
Very friendly staff, great food, great prices. Be sure to try the baklava!!
Five of us ate here and the food was delightful. I liked every item, from the baba ghanoush to the taboulleh to the moussaka and two meat platters we got. I love the multi-level interior with the splitting staircase, its quirky but classy and makes for a nice dining experience. Service was very good and the food came out quickly too. Very happy with this place!
Was extremely disappointed in what I ordered. I have had it at the Shoen Place location and it was 100 times better. I had the Moussaka dinner with garden salad. Only one small piece of eggplant was in there. Also it was to go and the garden salad was in the same container as the entree. It was a waste of money. I would have driven to Pittsford if I knew it was going to be like that.
Alladins has been one of the top Mediterranean restaurants in Rochester for some time now. With great service and a large bang for your buck it is super worth checking out whether ordering out or going out.
The waiter we had was very patient and the food was amazing. Quite honestly the best Greek food Ive ever had.
Absolutely amazing. We have been here multiple times and have been happy with the food and service every time
We came in about a half hours before closing but they never rushed us. The food was great.
Always great food! Aladdins never disappoints. We went today to celebrate my husbands birthday (which was yesterday) and that 6 years ago today he proposed to me there. We even had our wedding rehearsal dinner there last summer. Its our favorite place.
Very good. Havent had Greek food in years.
Always fresh, delicious and lovely service. I usually order the Mediterranean salad but the lentil soup is amazing too. Our family really enjoys coming here for lunches.
Ive been a regular customer for years! Dont 4get to try the baklava(pistacio is my fav)!
Food was fresh and excellentOur server who has worked there for many years makes it like coming home. She is always a beautiful person.
Inside needs some serious updates but the food is AMAZING. Huge portions, fair prices, always fresh and well cooked and seasoned. Staff is friendly and the outside patio is nice. Parking is really rough, and the bathroom is not ideal. Despite the negatives, 100% worth the visit.
Loved it here the food was great!!!! Its our first time and really loved the experience.
My favorite restaurant for the last 6 years. From the service, prices, quality, and portions, Aladdin’s on Monroe never disappoints!!!
I love Aladdins. Food is wonderful, service is good and Im never rushed. Everything is so yummy!!
Aladdins has just been a staple on Monroe Ave for Greek food for the longest I can remember. I have never had a bad experience there or take out. So congrats to the men and women that work here and thank you for all the good food I have eaten
So nice with covid and all. I walked in I was asked will I be dining in or taking out? Pleasant and kind the food was way better than I could guess. Trying to get back on track with health a simple garden salad with chicken and salad dressing great amount of food fresh lettuce cucumbers mushrooms tomatoes and snuck a lava cake chocolate oh my so good I will be back
Been going here for years, consistent and delicious every time.
Nice enough place , but portions seem to be smaller than they used to be . The beer list is fairly poor and the lemonade used to be homemade but no longer seems that way
So delicious!! Never a disappointment!!
Excellent selection always very tasty and always quick turnaround for pick up. Consistent and authentic.
Lunch with the whole family. Great food and service.
This is a spot my girlfriend and I enjoyed going on dates to. Now that we have a 3 year old we are happy they have options our daughter will eat too. The staff is friendly, the food is good and the prices are fair.
We order a lot of takeout from here and occasionally dine in. Our orders are always correct. The portions are large! Yesterday we were served by Shaun who was very pleasant and attentive even though he had a lot of tables.
This place is amazing! My family has been coming here for years. Food is always fresh and delicious. Service is always very nice and friendly. I don’t know what these one star reviews are about-but anyone can see that 99% of these reviews are 5 stars. Definitely fantastic!!
Best spanakopita Ive ever had! Great service and excellent meals all around our group. Strongly recommend the chicken salad or tuna salad pitas. Enormous servings on those. Good sized servings on the gyros and babaganoush as well. Baklava was obscene. So very good.
Decent friendly service. Limited menu options for vegans. Small space & very crowded on Saturday evening.
Incredibly big portions for the cost. we were in awe when it came out, couldnt believe how big the falafel pita pocket was! really fresh veggies and great ingredients.
CROSS CONTAMINATION! Quite disappointed. I ordered a salad & there was chicken in my food (I don’t eat meat) I let a member of staff know & she basically responded with a “ it’s s no big deal/accidents happen” kinda attitude . It’s important that you look out for the wellness and dietary requirements of your customers. First experience and definitely my last. If I were a vegan this would be a problem.
I Absolutely Love this Place!!...The food is always so fresh...The Greek salad dressing is Amazing!!
I wouldve given it 5 stars but our 2nd waiter never came over to check on us to see if we needed anything or to even give us our check. The 1st waitress was leaving and told us we would have a new waiter. she was great during the time she waited on us..she checked on us and everything.suggested a few things..the food was GREAT but that 2nd waiter ruined the 5 star. He looked at me a few times but still didnt come over to at minimum introduce himself as our new waiter. We even had to go to the counter to find someone to get us our check and cash out. Next time we will just do take out.One last thing..I tip well for well service..i will return to give the 1st waitress a tip. yes the 2nd waitress didnt get a dime from me or my sister...he didnt do anything so why should we.
Great price, value, portion size, healthy, tasty—I enjoyed the beef combo plate. The price for our table was equal to the price of one dish the night before at a fancier restaurant.
Aladdins was nicer pre COVID still they are alright.Theres no drinks alcoholic or juice and the menu has lost some favorites.The food I got was great but it was missing some ingredients that the menu had described. I had plenty of time to eat my lunch but didnt get out until 4 maybe a walk up payment system would work better in these strange times.
No better Mediterranean food in the Rochester area! Everything is fresh and delicious. Chicklaki, mixed grill, chicken salad pita, kafta plate, every single appetizer. 😋 MUAH DELICIOUS
Parking is a little small, I recommend just parking on Oxford. Very intelligent and personable staff, put up with all our antics and friendly quips hahaFood is on the lower side price wise so you can order quite a lot and share it around the table easily. Definitely worth checking out to try something a little different, but tons of options if your picky grandmother is coming with you lolThere are stairs to climb for some tables, so if thats an issue I recommend calling in advance to have accomodations ahead of time, to ensure a table easier accessable.
The server K was excellent. She was attentive and responsive to the needs of the guests. The wait time was reasonable. The meal was Spinach salad with grilled chicken. I ordered a gyro dinner to go. 3 people enjoyed the dinner. It is priced well beyond reasonable and I have since recommended this location to several associates. Thank you Don for the recommendation.
Friendly ,restaurant is clean, the food is delicious👌🏾
Absolutely the healthiest and fairly priced restaurants in this area. Both locations.
Everything we ordered was great! Huge portions and hot food! And the outdoor patio was perfect. Great value for the money.
This is one of our favorite spots! The food is always amazing and the service is top notch. Check it out, you won’t be dissapointed.
The food is always great from here. My wife picked up our order and brought it home. I cannot speak of the conditions of the restaurant or seating.My wife tried something new. I believe it was some rice dish, but it seemed more like a sampler of some of the food there. She ordered hers with chicken and she loved it. I believe there was a small salad and even some humus. I apologize for not remembering the name of the dish. I got my usual small humus and Roman salad. Just love those. I usually eat the salad first and save the humus for the next day. We did not get baklava this time either, but it is usually very tasty.I have recommended this restaurant to several friends and when the weather is nice and no pandemic going on the outdoor seating on the balcony is really nice. I am not sure if it is open at all now or not. If it is and the weather is good, I recommend sitting out there.The people working there are very nice and are always working very hard. I do not think I have ever seen them resting, ever. Very enjoyable 😁
Consistently great! Easily the best Greek salad locally; eat in or take it home.
The service was great and the food was deliciousthis restaurant has many vegetarian optionsI plan on going again when I have the time
Fantastic little spot. Had the best falafel Ive ever had before and the kebab steak gyro. Both expertly prepared and topped off by outdoor dining on the 2nd floor balcony.
I am a regular customer at Aladdins, I enjoy their food very much as well as their friendliness. Tonight was the worst night have experienced. I order my food for pickup over the phone they said 25 minutes, I was fine with that. I gave them 40 minutes garanteeing that my food will be ready when I arrive, it was not. I waited an extra 30 minutes for my food, it would have been ok if I was given an apology since the gentlemen before me got his apology for the delay for his food. I received nothing, no apology. Which really disappointed me. Need to teach your staff that when there is an issue because it is very busy and there is a delay in the customers order apologize, that will go a long way to getting a nice review.
Aladdins never disappoints, on their website they make a distinction of not being affiliated with any other Aladdin restaurants, and thats because this one on Monroe ave is simply the best and authentic style food! The food is fresh, the place clean, and service is excellent! We love this place, and my wife is Syrian so she knows good food..two thumbs up!
Very underwhelmed. I had been here years ago and remmebered it fondly. (I live in buffalo) this time around, eh. We found a seat upstairs, the server came after a while and asked for drinks commenting sorry he couldnt see this table behind a pillar. (Well, if you have that section you need to check your tables.)Ordered food and a glass of wine. 15m later finally caught him and asked for the wine again that never came, it came in about 5m more and then our food came out.Food was average, nothing special.Restaurant was chilly. I am usually someone who if anything is too warm, but it was cold. The mens bathroom is 🥶 FREEZING I dont think theres any heat, its like an ice box.Maybe theyve just lost their groove from being closed for so long with Covid to indoor dining, hope they get it back.
Ive loved everything Ive ever tried at Aladdins!
Good food. lots of vegetarian options
The food is 5 stars! I just wish they would spruce up the dining rooms and deck. I dont think they have ever remodeled. We get our food to go. Kind of depressing to sit in this really old atmosphere. Im sure its clean, but it really needs a face lift.
Food has the same flavor for 40 yrs
I love this place. They have excellently prepared food and very high quality ingredients. Great for lunch or dinner with reasonable prices. The staff is friendly, and the outdoor seating is quite pleasant, though I do end up getting takeout more often than eating in.Highly recommended, especially if youre looking for a healthy meal.
We were seated immediately. The choice of tables was The choice of tables was open for the most part. The staff was courteous. As far as Aesthetics I feel they could upgrade a bit easily. The food was delicious and portions were great. And Ill transparency cleanliness could be better. Perhaps add a staff member just to make sure theres no toilet paper on the floor that you can see while youre at your table. The food was definitely delicious and I would prefer take out as opposed to dining in myself. I would also prefer they paid more attention to the details of cleanliness because thats a big deal when youre dining out. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It did feel they were potentially overbooked concerning tables. Im not a demanding guest but felt that service could have been a couple notches better. Overall I would rather get take out because the food and portions are great but the ambience and level of Staff they hire to create an experience is lacking.
Chicken Caesar and Shrimp Greek salads were exactly what we wanted. All requests were accommodated above and beyond. Service was prompt and kind. All in all a wonderful experience. 10 out of 10.If you can find out whom our server was, give her a raise.
Still fresh and tasty, and that Basilico is so good.
I placed a catering order for an event and they did an amazing job! From taking my order and respecting my preferences to delivering fresh, tasty food.. it was great!
This was my first time in a Greek restaurant. I ordered to go, there was no wait, the server and cook was very friendly. The food had huge eat on it all day portions! Im adding this to my go to restaurants when Im the area. Can not wait until next time.
Tried the cooked cauliflower at the recommendation of the waitress. It was delicious and will forever be part of our meals at Aladdins now!
Healthy and delicious at its best!Great choices, great prices, generous portions. Family- friendly atmosphere. Went there for my bday. Ordered the combo grilled chicken platter, combo appetizer. Excellent!
Flavorless and frozen food, filthy menus and carpet, and a hostess that has no problem loudly discussing how greasy and bad the food is. Hard to say Id come back.*Note: Owner contacted me and said we have the carpets professionally cleaned every 6 weeks and all of our food is made in-house. If thats, the case, get a new contractor to clean your carpets and fix the restroom hand dryer. Also, not only can I taste that your food is frozen (because it doesnt taste like anything) but your waiter even told me that most of the menu was frozen food.
The falafel salad is amazing! Fresh ingredients and quality service.
Good food, okay prices. Under soup they had listed tzatziki. It wasnt soup it was a bowl of tzatziki dip.Good falafel
Always great food. Restaurant needs some updating and cleaning.
A wonder restaurant with a Mediterranean flare. Very fast service. Excellent homemade food. Nice variety and a great atmosphere.
The pistachio baklava is amazing, and the food is excellent!
They have THE best Mediterranean and best desserts in Rochester. Delicious and affordable 10 stars
Took my mom and boyfriend out to lunch, the food was made with love and experience. fantastic service and an overall beautiful atmosphere. you can’t beat the price or the quality, all of us were amazed and we’re looking forward to coming again soon
Great prices, generous portions, and delicious, fresh food you can feel good about. Staf is always kind and service is quick. I cant say enough good things about this Rochester staple!
Simple, clean, healthy, fresh Mediterranean food. And the best gazpacho and tabbouleh in town for down-to-earth prices. The baklava is to die for!!
Amazing food fanatstic service, possibly understaffed versus the number of guests who dine here. Our 630pm reservations didnt have our dinners on the table until nearly 8pm! However, we loved the food, the atmosphere, the selection, the portion sizes, the prices, and of course the after-meal baklava! Will be back, loved it!
I love all of their food! The pistachio pasta with spinach pasta is my favorite though. Come here for a great meal and wonderful service. Also a plus is they have very reasonably priced wine, get a bottle for what 1 or 2 glasses costs you elsewhere. The service is so great too, even the cooks try to please you! I asked about where they get their pasta and they brought me a label from it so I had it to look up later. Can’t say good enough things about Aladdins!
Very good Mediterranean food. Good, small menu, but they rock everything on it. This place has been a Rochester staple for decades. Fast service, great food, large portions, wont crush your wallet. If its warm out you should eat on the balcony.
We love this place. They have a great selection of Greek food and the portions are huge!! Ive gotten the mixed grill each time and the chicken is a bit dry but everything else is awesome. Service is usually quick and the balcony seating is spectacular.
Always great food and great service. And the pricing is just right. You cant go wrong ordering anything on the menu.
Not a huge fan of Mediterranean food...Or so I thought, my wife convinced me to go and give it a try and I wasnt disappointed at all. Clean, friendly and affordable makes this place one I will frequent agian
Great service & nice selection of healthy dishes! I ordered the appetizer Tourlou, which is a Ratatouille of roasted vegetables, mainly eggplant and chickpeas eaten with pita pockets. Very delicious & filling! I also had the Gyro Plate but because of its size had to box it & take it home for another meal. The service was fast & efficient. Very pleasant atmosphere at 4:15 pm as diners conversed quietly.
Hadnt been in about a year! Was as FAB as I recalled!PASTA BASILICA W/SAUTEED CHICKEN was delish! There were a few new staff but the regulars were there, too! Felt so good to return!
I knew that I would miss the place since moving to the West coast. I crave their Greek salad and lentil soup at least once every couple of months. I consider myself somewhat of an authority on salads since I love eating them and this place has got it down. Great portions, awesome dressing and no skimping on ingredients or putting in fillers. This place is near and dear to my heart, can’t wait to visit when I’m in town again.
Pretty good, I had the falafel and it was dry and there was more lettuce than anything else on the plate.
Very authentic Mediterranean feel. Menu has some great options that a lower end Greek restaurant typically wouldnt have. Food is excellent from what Ive had so far. Beer/ wine menu is better than average. Staff is helpful and welcoming. Unique building that is clean and modern.
Always good, always reasonable. Been three times now, and everything was delicious. A range of categories that let you off easy, or let you go a- binging. Either way, youll probably get at least another lunch out of it.Pasta with luscious sauces, cant beat Greek staples, meal worthy apps (for me, at least) and a $5 generous beef tenderloin add on!! Who else does this? But no sweat, vegetarians. Plenty of choices for you, too. Vegan? Not sure, didnt look, but I think likely.Beer and wine (YAY!)Sadly, no longer serve a raspberry/white/chocolate/mousse cake that would make you swoon in ecstasy. Said it got too expensive. We tried to order one from Chicago...they were right. It was..
Great Mediterranean food. Have been eating here for 30 plus years and its always great! Well priced and great portions.
Delicious food, the baklava is amazing!!Service was good and prices were good as well.I definitely recommend it!!
This is my favorite restaurant in Rochester. Their food is absolutely phenomenal. My favorite meal is the mixed grill with dark meat chicken and the greek salad and hummus. My wifes favorite is the chicken pita. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Monroe Ave location is much better than Pittsford location FYI.
Wow the Alaadin Pita was amazing. It was so juicy that it was dripping juice. Amazing 10/10. And only 7.85$
Wonderful place to celebrate - we were a party of 7 , we had 2 waiters taking care of our table and they were extremely attentive to us.The presentation of the food was beautiful, the bread to start the meal was delicious. I had a signature cocktail ( actually 2 ) - perfect.Most ordered steaks and everyone said it was cooked to perfection. I had the scallops - cooked perfectly, and would order it again.
Food was good. No complaints.When one goes out to eat it is not just for the food but also for the service. Im sorry but the service was very poor. After my friend and I seated ourselves, the waitress brought us water and we placed an order of an appetizers plate as well as our dinner. There was no serving spoon or tong or fork provided to pick our appetizers.The waitress brought us our dinner. She never came back to fill our empty glasses of water nor did she enquire if the food we ordered was ok. She gave us one napkin each and that was it. We ate our food, paid the bill, and left completely disappointed. She was tipped well though.
One of my favorite places to eat not just in Rochester but anywhere. Delicious food, huge portions, friendly staff and prices so low you actually feel guilty. Make up for it with a nice tip and count your blessings a gem like this continues to thrive. The Pignolia pasta dish is maybe my favorite food ever.
High quality for a chain. Good food for fair prices. The falafel is great, but the pita is average. Dont expect this place to blow you away, but it definitely creates a nice atmosphere for weekday eating out. Theres typically not a wait.
Went there with my friend for dinner. Restaurant is nice with friendly service. The menu was little weird. It had chicken kababs, not on skewers but rolled in bread. We ordered pistachio pasta which was good. The falafel had extra baking soda in it, we could taste the soda. Overall this restaurant is far away from authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
We are regulars here and just love it. The salads are so fresh and delicious. The tabouli is the best I have ever had. Portions are huge. Service is wonderful. Love sitting outside in the warm weather, but inside is nice too. You cant get a better value anywhere. The takeout is great too... we often will pick up dinner and bring it home or to a friends house.
Always good food and good service. My son is Vegan and I am gluten free. There are plenty of great options for both here. Its one of our favorites!!
Love, love, love the amazing food! No humus tastes like Aladdin’s Hummus! The Staff is super friendly and great prices!
Great waiters! You may have to wait a while to be served but the food is amazing!
My favorite place to eat, the food is always fresh and nicely presented. For some reason I always have the same staff which I do not mind because she is always pleasant and attentive. Did I mention the desserts are all amazing and also fresh. I am never disappointed when I dine here.
Amazing food with friendly service at a great price. You cant beat it!
This was a really good restaurant. We liked the one in Pittsford better (right on the Erie Canal, with a great view). It was very crowded on the Saturday night that we went there. The food was good and the prices reasonable. The staff was friendly. They have Gluten free options. The Mediterranean food was great.
Great food, friendly service. Busy, popular place in Rochester. At times buzzing with a wait, but its worth it
Food was delicious and portions are huge but did have to send one of the pasta dishes back because it was barely warm.
Ive been eating here for decades! Great food, great service. They serve large portions of healthy food 😋
CHICKEN GYROS are excellent. Salads are very good. There is always seating available, food comes quickly (considering the cook time) and fresh, and the staff has always been kind and helpfu. Ive dined in no less than 5 times. Never had a problem. Patronage is diverse. Cozy spot.
Applies to catering only–Our company has ordered catering many times from Aladdins. Twice now they have completely forgotten our order (for a group of 20 people) and made no effort to apologize when they realized their mistake. After the first time, we figured mistakes happen but when I called the second time I was told the order was lost once again. Eli was EXTREMELY rude to both myself and coworkers when he delivered the order. He yelled on the phone and never once apologized for his mistake. This saddens me since the food is always so delicious, but we will never be ordering from such an unreliable business again.
Great food wonderful service
Great food, Ive been twice. Always a fly flying around. Kinda gross.
Whats not to love? Fresh, delicious Mediterranean dishes and a family atmosphere. The interior layout is very unique, and the upstairs balcony is delightful in the warmer months. They do get busy during peak hours, so plan ahead.
Amazing restaurant with great authentic Greek cuisine. The Greek salads are phenomenal and the house dressing is recommended. Also try The baklava. The prices are inexpensive which is a plus. The atmosphere is nice though a little tight. Overall great food, great prices and good atmosphere.
Outstanding! Food couldnt have been tastier. Staff couldnt have been nicer or more helpful. Treat yourself and get to this place asap.
Always fresh and delicious with attentive service. Definitely recommend
Not vegan friendly. Service was decent. No option for people with onion and garlic allergies except a salad.
If you need a server with a smile this is the place to be. Food is always excellent and service is just as good. All around the owners of this place deserve a high five or a handshake. Whichever they prefer.
Food was too expensive to be that disappointing. Falafel was bad, extremely salty, overpower flavored or sesame, so that was a waste. The the pasta aglio e olio dish was just blan, I barely use salt and it had no flavor at all, no garlic no taste of the veggies, not pepper flakes. So I ate the 4 pieces of shrimp I paid 5$ for which was good :( .. lady never refilled our waters, which I need to waste the falafel taste away. But nice restaurant
It is my absolute favorite restaurant! The owners always greet everyone with a happy face and great service. The food is AMAZING and still so healthy and fresh.
Great Mediterranean food. Had the Gyro which was awesome. Food was very authentic with great flavor. The meat was tender and juicy. The service was excellent and courteous. Great location and beautiful facility. Definitely a place to keep returning over and over!
This is one place the company i work for go to get eat-in lunch so i decided to give the place a try and i was not disappointed. Good place to eat Greek/Mediterranean food. Kabba n pita was nice. Had this noddle cant remember the name but a reviewer has a picture of it here, very lovely. Was expecting a rush because its a Friday and close to downtown but the food came out quick and nice
Very unsatisfying. Poor customer service.Falafel is extremely salty and doesn’t taste fresh. Pita pockets poorly put together and fall apart. Maybe some other things on the menu are better but...won’t be back to find out.
We have loved Aladdins for years and its still an excellent dining experience! Delicious food and excellent service, we have never had a bad meal here!
They tried to give me a bowl of mushy beans and call it vegetarian chili
Great place to eat, especially if you want to get away from starchy, greasy meals. Fresh salads, grilled meats, Mediterranean specialties. Dont order too much because servings are generous. Fed 6,apps,entrees and deserts, for $128 including tip. Great value.
Great food at great prices. Very authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The staff is very friendly. There space is very relaxed and welcoming. A great place for a lunch out with friends it even a dinner date.
I’ve been getting their souvlaki salad and it does not disappoint. It’s always fresh and the meat is always perfectly done. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. Would 10/10 recommend.
Really excellent food. Maybe Im just a simpleton but I thought the quality was great. The staff was excellent, VERY attentive and always super friendly. The portions were huge and everything was reasonably priced given how much you received. Get the Baklava for dessert even if you have no room, its fantastic!The restaurant itself has a really unique multi-level layout. Very aesthetically pleasing. The top floor is well lit with plenty of sunlight coming in.Totally different vibe from pittsford. Avoid the pittsford location at all costs and go to the Monroe restaurant, you wont be disappointed.
Classy feel, food was simply amazing. I have a newfound love for falafel!! Not too pricey either. This place deserves all 5 🌟
I’ve been hooked on Aladdin’s Chicken Salad Salad (not a typo) since 2000. Their Pistachio Pasta is AMAZING. The ingredients are always fresh and portions are enough to feed 2-3 people. Fast take-out service and dining in has always been a pleasant experience.
They’ve got the best moussaka I’ve ever had! Their Greek salad dressing is uniquely good, and the baklava never disappoints, nor does the hummus. Parking is a major pain, and I’ve taken to bringing my family so we can double park in the teeeeeeny tiny lot and I can run in for takeout and not leave the car unattended. The parking situation is the only reason I give it four stars.
Very kind and efficient wait staff, incredibly delicious food, all at an affordable price. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Great food casual atmosphere
Its a decent place. Wish they had a bigger menu and more variety to choose from. The food that I ordered was great. They were able to accommodate our large group of 15
Food is always delicious, portions are generous, staff is friendly! So happy to see this restaurant thriving in COVID times!
The food is always consistent and fresh. I feel very welcome here like I am dining at a friends place and they have lovingly made a meal. I, highly, recommend this place.
Pitford location. If I could give them a complete zero I would. I was excited to eat with them, and order what I thought was a regular chicken salad but it was something completely different. They told me people made the mistake all the time and that still they were not going to switch the salad out. And that I would have to rebuy even thoe it was an error and see if didn’t eat itZ I just wanted it made the correct way so that I could try them. Really rude manager also(women). Didn’t even try to hear me speak really just wanted to let me know she wanted correcting anything.
Aladdins is an excellent stop on Monroe Ave. Ive been here many times, and never been disappointed. I always order my favorite dish: the moussaka. Aladdins is the first place Ive had this dish, and they definitely set the bar high. The Baklava was excellent, however one order is definitely enough for 2-4 people to split. It comes with 4 pieces, so keep that in mind!
Awesome menu, friendly service
OMG so good! Healthy food, but filling, large portions and great prices. The souvlaki salad was 2 skewers of tenderloin perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. This was over a bed of mixed greek salad greens including feta, tomatos, cukes, kalamata olives and more---all for $13! Fantastic chicken vegetable soup, home made, with unique spices. We will be back!
Id give ten stars if I could! The service is always prompt and polite, everything is very reasonably priced, and the food is served in large portions and is absolutely fantastic. The spinach linguini pesto with chicken is incredible.
Ive also had their hummus, spanokoptia, salad and pitas, and theyre all good. I usually go to the Schoen place location mainly because its so hard to park at the one on Monroe. I had never noticed before, but the prices are actually a lot cheaper at the Monroe restaurant, so I might try to go there more often.
I love their fresh food. Never had any issues here. Great selection, good service, nice atmosphere. They have a nice outdoor section when the weather is good.
Food is very good but the prices online do not match the actual prices in the store.. owner will not honor prices online so don’t even ask.. food is delicious so becuase if that I give him 3 stars.. If you order over the phone please double check the prices.. service was mediocre at best..
Pretty good Mediterranean menu. Kind of pricey. Nice place to go in thats your type of food and you want lunch outside they have a deck you can sit at
Love the Mediterranean salad with eggplant. Best salad there.
Fantastic mediterranean food!!
Great food at a reasonable price
We ordered an hour ahead and were told the pickup time. We arrived on time. An hour later, our very basic order (three items) still wasnt ready. Terrible service.
Great food! Family friendly, there is something everyone will like. Every singe time I eat here I get the spanikopita, without fail. It’s just that good! Highly recommend
Everything I have gotten here is amazing and well priced. Excellent gyros, falafel, salads and pasta.
Cant go wrong ordering anything on the menu. Great flavors! Fresh meals served by excellent staff
Delicious food, great service. Very reasonably priced- I recommend the fruit and nut salad, the gyro and the pasta- its homemade and delicious. Very quick service which is great if you are on a time crunch. Theres some parking in the back or on the street.
I eat from this place, like on a daily basis. The food is great; I had no complaints and delivery is on point
Cant believe I havent reviewed Aladdins yet, its been a favorite restaurant of mine since I was a kid. The food is always fresh, the portions are huge, and the prices are astonishingly low. The woman who is the head server has a heart of gold and is lovely to interact with. Sitting on the balcony overlooking Monroe is a treat when the weather permits it. I forever love Aladdins!
Very good food, great price, and super fast service!
This is my go to when I want a healthy and tasty option at a decent price. Real food made by real people.
Healthy and tasty menu at affordable prices.Nice outdoor seating as well.I personally like the Chicken Kabob Pita, Chicken Caesar Salad, and the Baklava!
My favorite place in Rochester, maybe anywhere, you can come in for a light meal and eat in a beautiful atmosphere affordably or you can enjoy a very nice dinner that is still an excellent value. Always delicious. Love it!
Portion sizes varied—the falafel appetizer and my co-workers salad were fairly large, but my gyro wrap was a bit smaller than I expected. Additionally, while everything tasted fine, nothing stood out as being in any way exceptional.
I have loved this place since I was a little girl. The food is always great and the quality is just as great.
Fresh...Veggies!! &_ Meal was Delicious
I love the Caesar salad with grilled white chicken breast. I will most definitely eat there again. I would love to try everything on the menu. Eventually I will....Thanks always.
The one in Monroe for some reason has better kitchen. Maybe the location is not as beautiful, but if youre looking for great food and plenty on your portion, this is a great place. One of my favorites in Rochester.
I dont live far from here so we come here alot. The food is always delicious and fresh. You get so much food at a great price. My personal favorite is the Moussaka. But the mixed grill and gyro are also good. Great customer service. You HAVE to visit this place. Highly recommended.
Delicious falafel, fresh Greek salad, and the best lasagna Ive ever had! My whole meal was vegetarian and I didnt feel like I was missing a thing! Will definitely be back!!
I’m vegan, and if I go out with my carnivore friends, it’s easy to find something on their menu for both. Everything is usually very good. However, sometimes their falafel is way too salty.
We had a lovely lunch. Reasonably priced, delicious, fresh food. I recommend the falafel pita! The manager came by and all the staff was super friendly.
Great Mediterranean food. Lots of vegetarian options if thats your thing. Nice upper deck patio area overlooking Monroe Ave. Friendly service.
Very good food, good options on menu and exceptional service.Restaurant was full when visited, one table open. Recieved drinks shortly after sitting and food was out very quickly despite the amount of patrons.
Terrible customer service!!! Had me on hold for 30 minutes to place order. Hung up before was able to pay for order. When I went in to pick up my food the young lady who took my order over the phone was very rude.
The traditional Greek dishes are amazing at Aladdins. The pasta is ok, but not as good as the real exceptional Greek dishes. If you go to the Monroe Ave location near downtown, there is a small parking lot out back, but parking can be very difficult as its in the city. You might be driving around for a while if you go at a busy time, so leave time for that or the walk. I would not let that stop me from going to this restaurant. If youre in the mood for Greek, Aladdins is a must, just deal with the parking issue. Other location is in Pittsford which is great as well.

2021-11-17An accident Mediterranean restaurant I went for the rice platter with vegetables its a huge plate and the food was excellent. We also tried The baklava there and it was really great and authentic baklava. The people in the restaurant are super nice and friendly, definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a good Mediterranean restaurant in the town with good vegetarian options.

2022-04-30I had never considered eating a Greek Salad until i had Alladins. They literally have the best salads in Rochester NY. Huge portions and the veggies are always fresh. Been going here for years and have told so many friends and coworkers about this place. 10 out of 1000 recommend lol seriously if you like Greek food try this place. 👍🏽

2021-08-16Everything was delicious and so well-priced. Im not from the area but if I was, I would DEFINITELY become a regular. Every entree on the menu is around $10-12 and the baklava was amazing. Our server was also such a sweetheart taking care of us. Would definitely recommend.

2022-04-08All the server are fantastic and very tentative. The portions are huge and the salads are very fresh. I love the rice with the pita and the humus is very creamy. Definitely a nice place to visit especially during the summer as the second floor patio is a nice place to sit.

2022-04-07Great portions. Solid produce. Always tastes good here and I never feel bad for ordering Aladdins because most of their food is made pretty healthy and clean, true Mediterranean style. I do recommend this place to friends

2022-02-20I just left what has to be one of the worst lunch experiences Ive ever had!! 1) table and chairs were in need of repair, almost felt like we were going to tip over! 2) ordered a tuna salad pita with lettuce. Received a scoop of bland tuna, stuffed with mixed greens. Sent it back with the waitress saying oh yeah sorry were updating our menu. Then the table behind us the women were loud and and swearing almost the whole time!!! Finally myself and another gentleman had enough and told her to be quiet!! Pretty much the whole staff played stupid and said that they couldnt hear them, and clearly someone that was working knew them! And was allowing it. We will never be going back, and not recommend this place! TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!
