We stopped over on the way to Grand Canyon. Clean restaurant but take time to serve. This place is busy. Good quantity is less than expected. Little pricey. Did not find authentic taste. It may happen due to traveling. I love to see more and more Halal shop so that the Muslim people can find more options. I love to promote any Halloween shops because they are offering the hollow meet the divers Mediterranean all Asian food.

Aladdin Cafe is one of my favorite Lawrence restaurants. It’s one of those places that isn’t fancy (two stars for atmosphere) but has great food at a decent price. And, in my experience, the service staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely try the hummus gyro with lamb!

My brother and I went here to try a different food category and the falafel is amazing along with the pita bread basket that you can ask for more! Very friendly folks and would eat here again as the falafels are my favorite.

Lentil soup was very delicious, tastes quite similar to egg drop soup. I also had falafel which was amazing. The atmosphere is welcoming and very beautiful stained glass. Went in the afternoon and was nearly the only one there. My only complaint is that the bathroom door evidently does not lock because I got walked in on twice in the span of about 30 seconds… other than that no issues at all. Fair prices in my opinion. Would recommend, and will be returning if I get a chance.

Had an excellent meal here- we got Petra platter and kabob dishes. The hummus was fantastic. I want to figure out how to replicate it, but I probably never will be able to get it, right. Service was very good and accommodating. They substituted veggies for pita, to accommodate my gluten-free needs.

My new favorite restaurant to eat at when we go to Lawrence. The food had delicious flavors, the meats were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The several varieties of flavors of hummus are all superior. This place is the BEST!

The lentil soup completely amazing. Hummus and Raja dip very flavorful. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Got the meat kebab which was good but two of the meats of the five were overcooked.
