Aladdin Mediterranean Restaurant

Hands down, 2-Thumbs up! Our first time here after google mapping search “Harlan food” and we weren’t disappointed a bit! Excellent service & delicious food from the moment we walked in greeted by the hostess, to our waiter who took great care of us to the outstanding lunch dishes which we HIGHLY recommend, especially the lamb chops entree! (#9 on the menu) Don’t miss out on this dish! The salad, pita bread, basmati rice and hummus that came with the entree was just adding greatness to the already deliciousness! Good portions of food as we also had the gyro entree (#13) which was another “Don’t miss” dish as the Greek gyros meat was cooked to perfection! The menu has a lot of options and don’t forget to try the freshly squeezed juice with no sugar! Very refreshing! To complete our lunch, the pistachio halva with ice cream hit the spot! Not a sweet desert but sweet enough to satisfy and take a nap after a well enjoyed lunch experience. This is a restaurant we will definitely recommend and visit again!

Aladdin Mediterranean Restaurant is one of my favorite places for Mediterranean food in San Diego. The Tikka Kebab was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. The service was fast, and everyone was welcoming and professional. A special thanks to Mike for his outstanding customer service and friendly attitude. He made our dining experience even better. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!

Crazy good food. I typically do not eat Mediterranean food, but this place was so good that I literally came back the day after I first tried it. There was a small miscommunication about the menu with one of the servers, but another server, Angie, handled everything with exceptional care and gave us such amazing food recommendations that I basically decided to commit to this restaurant for life. Angie is seriously an amazing server! Kind, fast, attentive, and just amazing overall. I forgot the exact name, but menu #14, which comes with two lamb shanks, is honestly the best food I have had in San Diego. The sauce was incredible, and the lamb literally falls off the bone and melts in your mouth without even needing to chew. Thank you, Angie, for the recommendation!! We also tried their maklabeh, and it was great too. Oh, and I really want to recommend the pink hummus. Not only is it super aesthetic, but it has this slight sweetness and beet tartness that perfectly balances the pita bread. 🫓 You can get as much pita bread as you like, and I love that they serve it in smaller portions so you are constantly getting fresh, hot pita bread instead of a huge basket that gets cold.

My two back to back dining experiences were 11/10. From the amazing service to the amazing food, just perfect. Our server noticed my boyfriend cleaning the silverware, as he always does, and our server saw this and brought us a fresh pair. Mind you, the silverware was not dirty, it’s just a habit of his. I was amazed at how observant our server was to have witnessed this and took the initiative to act on it. This was my first time having Mediterranean food and I’m afraid I’m addicted. I would honestly visit San Diego again, just to experience Aladdin’s food. Thank you again to the wonderful people who work here!

We arrived at 5:30PM on a Friday without reservation but we got a table shortly. The restaurant is located small strip mall which has limited parking. Service was warm, fast, and efficient. Food: large portion, flavorful, healthy, delicious. Our favorite: the mixed grill lamb chops, chicken, and different kebabs. The garlic sauce compliments the meats well. We can’t get enough of it. Arabic salad was refreshing and light with lemon and extra virgin olive oil dressing.
