Aladdin Hillcrest - Experience the Best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Wraps in San Diego

This was the best Mediterranean place i have been to in a long time! The cheese and spinach boats were soooo good! Also we loved the meza platter and the stuffed grape leaves! Everything tasted home made, good quality and fresh! The service was so fast especially for our party of 10. The ambiance is very "hole in the wall" type of place, small, quaint, and ethic. Love this place!

This place has great quality food. They are going to be a different style than someone like cava or luna grill, so keep that in mind. We mostly do takeout so now much opinion on service or atmosphere.

We went to Aladdin with the family and I can say the food was amazing! I recommend you try their grilled platter with lamb chops it was delicious also they made us some raw kibbeh and my husband loved it. We met the owner he was very friendly and took the kids inside to show them how their fresh pita bread is made.

Food: Fresh & zingy marinades, sauces to marry with everything. Loved the chicken breast, garlic sauce, Babaganoush (eggplant dip)& cheese/spinach pastries. Service: My server was gently helpful, efficient. Ambiance: Patio seating refreshing, energizing. Inside is authentic, cozy & comfort inducing. Yelpers, this spot is waiting to serve you & delight with unique flavors!

We love coming to Aladdin. The food and customer service is always fantastic. We typically always get the same thing when we come which includes lebanese coffee, meza, and knafeh.

This place is tucked in a shopping center in Hillcrest, so I'd been here so many times and never tried. The chicken kebab plate was really good, and a good size too. This review is specifically for the cauliflower tagine appetizer. Truly some of the best cauliflower I've ever had. Also had the Lebanese red wine and it was great.

Great service and awesome variety of Mediterranean dishes. Nice outdoor patio seating and nice decor inside. Definitely recommend. Plenary of parking on the shopping center in front. Very limited hours: most days they close by 8pm.

Aladdin is the restaurant with which I judge all Mediterranean food. And today all those memories came crashing back with every bite. I can honestly say NO OTHER restaurant has captured the texture, taste and truly exquisite culinary experience as a meal here and I don't think they ever will.

Aladdin's Meza Platter Hummus, tabouleh, baba ghanouj, Chicken and meat Shawarma, dolma, falafels, baked kebeh, tzaziki, tahini, garlic sauce, pickles + olives Loved this!!! This was so fun to eat, trying a little bit of just about everything on the menu. I ordered this to go, and the staff packaged everything up super nicely and securely. The meat schwarma was pretty good, the chicken a little dry. The falafels were amazing--so, so light and fluffy and crispy on the outside, and I'm not usually a falafel fan!! The kebeh was delicious, loved all the different sauces on the side of this platter. The baba ghanouj was one of my favorite things. This came with a few pitas as well, which were great! Only downside was that this was a little pricey, even as much food as it was.
