Aladdin's Eatery North Hills

Early dinner for two at a hidden jewel in North Hills where we were the only guests in the dining room. We shared appetizers: spicy grilled cauliflower served in a flavorful sauce and Len-Chili soup, a combination chili bean and lentil presented as two soups in one bowl. Quick service of separate entrees: Jasmine's Favorite Beef Schwarma and Jasmine's Favorite Lamb. Tender grilled meat, no shavings, served atop rice mixed with carrot, chickpeas, onion, potato and chili bean. Enjoyed the flavors and left with take-home. If we'd known the portions were so generous, we'd have ordered one entree.

Let me start with this: I am absolutely biased because Aladdin’s is my favorite restaurant ever! And I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’ve practically followed this place across states and cities. I discovered Aladdin’s years ago when I lived in Northern Virginia. After that first visit, I was hooked and started going several times a year.

One day I randomly searched to see if they had opened anywhere else, and you won’t believe it… they popped up right here in North Carolina, the same state I now live in! And while it’s not in Charlotte, my brother lives in Raleigh, which means every trip to see him doubles as a

Love this place. The service is incredible, the options for different diets is so helpful. I feel so good after eating at this place, everything feels so fresh and healthy, but also delicious at the same time. Coffee with dessert is a must.

Ate here recently and the food was amazing. So much better than expected. The chicken pesto pizza and veggie soup was phenomenal. I highly recommend

UPDATE #2: Still FIVE STARS! Aladdin's Eatery at North Hills is our neighborhood FIVE STAR spot for consistently great meals, outstanding desserts, and a casual atmosphere. My favorites are the V-9 'comfort soup with chicken and feta cheese, spicy cauliflower, or the Aladdin's Lamb Roll. But, so many other great choices! The pizza photo is a grandchild's favorite. Desserts seem endless. In the spring, summer, and fall months, outdoor dining is a pleasure. To the Aladdin team: Thank you and keep up the great work! Some new exterior photos included.
