After working in restaurants for a little over 10years, I cannot express how AMAZING, kind and courteous the staff are at Aladdin. Sooo I ordered for the first time ever from the website for lunch, I thought I'd ordered a delivery. My scheduled time of 1pm came, and no food. I had forgotten to change it to delivery . I called them, and the person who answered, kindly offered to bring it to me. The chicken shawarma and the beef samosas were out of this world. I will definitely order from here again. The food and staff are simply magnificent and will go out of their way to provide a great experience for all their customers.

i usually love coming here before going to work,have the wonderful kabab & other western dishes and take advantage of low prices. Truly, i usually come on weekday or sometime along with friends on weekends, The server was most cordial and helpful and we did enjoy the falafel with home made sauce. On the positive side, I’m enjoying talk to the owner and he’s in the same time the cook and have really great conversation with food. I recommend this restaurant 100% of Iraqi delicious food. Thank you jalal

It’s honestly the best kebab I’ve ever had in the state, and the bread is extremely delicious. You cannot get Iraqi samoon bread like this anywhere else in Massachusetts that I am aware of. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and I will 100% make sure to come back the next time I am in Worcester.

Embark on a delicious Mediterranean adventure at Aladdin! Succulent, marinated beef, lamb, and chicken kabobs chargrilled to perfection. Each bite explodes with juicy flavor and savory spices like cumin, oregano, and paprika. Dunk your kabobs into creamy, homemade hummus for a delightful textural contrast. Freshly baked bread awaits, perfect for scooping up any remaining marinade or hummus. It's a flavor party that will have you dancing the night away (or at least daydreaming about leftovers). Wrap up your flavorful journey with a cup of fragrant Middle Eastern tea, like mint or sage, for a refreshing and authentic touch.

In Iraq we have a breakfast food called gammar which is something in between milk and butter and oh my god is it good. Put some honey and enjoy my friend. The best part is it’s impossible to find true authentic gammar since it’s so time consuming to make, but Aladin makes true authentic grammar that reminds you of home. Try ordering their gammar trust me it’ll replace your butter in the morning. Ask him for a sample and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
