Great Vegan Options - Edit
We came to Aladdin's after we saw that they had vegan options and great reviews. We were not disappointed. Everything from the food to cleanliness and service was spectacular!
Read moreFood:
Hummus & Pita & hot sauce (vegan): Wow! We did not expect to like the creamy hot sauce and hummus. It was a spectacular combination. Creamy with a little kick.
Baba Gannouj (vegan): They actually just brought this out to us complimentary to try. We've never had that happen before. The Baba Gannouj was very creamy and smoky. It was excellent however our tastes are more aligned with the hummus and hot sauce. Very good for someone who likes Baba Gannouj.
Hummus Garden Rolled (vegan): lightly toasted wrap, giving it a bit of a crunch, fresh and full of flavor. Combined with the hot sauce making it extra delicious. Definitely get it again
Loubie Plate (vegan): Such a great combination of beans, tomatoes, garlic, rice and vermicelli (and I'm actually not a huge fan of rice)! It was very nicely flavored, my stomach was bulging but I just wanted to eat more! It seemed to me like a comfort dish and it was beans!
Apple Spice Bar (vegan): We were too stuffed to eat it at the restaurant so we got it to go. We have yet to try it.
Service: Wow! I've used to be a waitress and a bartender and they did a superb job. They were able to make us feel very welcomed and still kept a very professional atmosphere. We had a waitress and a couple of other people who seemed to walk around ans check on people (great system). They were prompt, friendly, professional and anticipated all of our needs. I don't think we've ever had better service even on the occasion when we've dined at an upscale restaurant. They even offered extra Pita and to go cups (without prompt).
Parking: The restaurant is located in a shopping mall area. There is quite a bit of parking, however I can imagine it could be filled especially on the weekend. We didn't have any trouble when we went on Friday around 5pm.
Cleanliness: When you walk in there are booths to one side and tables to the other. There is also a dessert case. When we sat down, the table was very clean and the menus seemed new they were so clean. When the food was served the silverware was actually shiny. The bathrooms are in the back past the booths. The men's is visible and the women's is to the left across from the kitchen. Both my partner and I were impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms. We hope they've started to offer non gendered restrooms.

Best Flavorful Vegan Salad! - Edit
The vegan superfood salad was totally worth it. Full of fresh flavors and nutrients. The menu had a few vegan options. The menu can be found on their website with details of ingredients within the salad.

Very vegan-friendly and great service! - Edit
There were so many vegan options! Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes were clearly labeled. The dip made from eggplant purée, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic was amazing.
Read moreThe brown rice with herbs, spices, chickpeas and veggies was delicious and filling. We were eating our meal and the server told me that there was extra rice that was not put into my dish. I was so surprised— my dish was already very big and filling. So, the server put the extra rice in a bag for me to take home. Normally, restaurants will give you less that what you want, not more! I was very pleased with the service!
Be sure to ask the waiter which desserts are vegan, as they were not labeled when I looked at the display of desserts (there was no dessert menu, you just look at them and choose). There were two vegan desserts available for us. We had the spiced apple crumble bar. It was so yummy.

Best falafal wrap in Raleigh - Edit
Everything here is amazing! They put pickled turnips in their sandwiches which take them to a whole new level of good. We love the hot sauce, appetizers, etc. There are lots of vegan items on the menu which is rare for such a trendy location (Brier Creek).
