My gyro plate was fantastic: the meat was flavorful and tender with just enough bark for good texture. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. My companions got the Greek salad with chicken and said that was very tasty as well. Highly recommended. --["Users/KatieSchmitz"]

Was stopped at the door by an employee and told they were closed. We said that we did not want to sit down and eat, just wanted to purchase a to-go dessert at the counter. She replied that the registers were closed and turned us away. Stated hours on here as well as their own website say that they are open til 9:30 p.m.... I am not sure what time they are REALLY open until (8:30? 9:00?), but they need to change their posted hours to reflect reality. --["Users/ajh"]

- '''ADMIN NOTE: Due to archiving purposes, comments from 2008 and earlier have been moved to ["Aladdin's Natural Eatery/Comments"]''' - ------ - ''2009-03-12 14:08:48'' [[nbsp]] Best bang for the buck and the food is the best of all the Greek/Mediterranean restaurants around. Their hot pitas are the best. chicken pita is a favorite of mine and consistently cooked perfectly. Not a big fan of the soups or the cold pitas which are difficult to eat since they're oversized and filled entirely with lettuce. The pittsford Aladdins is a cute place for a date. Desserts are hit or miss. --["Users/JaimeTe"] - ------ - ''2009-03-19 22:42:45'' [[nbsp]] In my opinion this is one of the best restaurants in the Rochester area. The food is all fresh and tasty...not to mention good for you! It is also VERY Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. I prefer the Pittsford location on the Erie Canal. The view from the patio in the Spring-Fall is wonderful. --["Users/PrincessB"] - ------ - ''2009-03-29 04:11:20'' [[nbsp]] I recently visited Rochester and my friend and I dined at the monroe location one evening. Some of the best tasting food I have had in a very long time!The fact that I live in FL might have something to do with that, but the food was excellent nonetheless! --["Users/AntDi"] - ------ - ''2009-05-17 10:17:39'' [[nbsp]] Aladdins is a great place if you want high quality, healthy food at a very reasonable price. Their chicken is so tender and marinated to perfection at the Monroe Ave. location. The chicken is a bit drier and ytou get smaller portions at the Pittsford one. Just beware of the clientele. They tend to be rather uppity and holier-than-thou at both locations. I can't say anything bad about the food and the wait-staff is always very friendly. --["Users/PickleCelli"] - ------ - ''2009-07-12 11:22:22'' [[nbsp]] I am amazed at the amount of raves on this page. I had high hopes for this place because the Aladdin's in Ithaca was so wonderful. My husband and I have been there twice and have been disappointed both times. The service is always with an attitude. We went Friday night and one of the servers slammed the water onto our table, and then literally threw the straws at us. I ordered the pignolia pasta (pine nuts, goat cheese cream sauce, etc), and not only was there absolutely no goat cheese in it (the whole reason I ordered that dish was the goat cheese), but the stench of burnt garlic was overwhelming. What I had was a bland cream sauce with no flavor, and burnt garlic to boot. We are giving up on this place and will just go to the Ithaca one when we are in the area. --["Users/Joslin"] - ------ - ''2009-07-15 22:56:08'' [[nbsp]] Which location did you go to, the one in Schoen Place or Monroe Ave? --["Users/RichardSarkis"] - ------ - ''2009-07-16 12:05:20'' [[nbsp]] I went to the Schoen Place one in Pittsford --["Users/Joslin"] - ------ - ''2009-07-23 17:54:04'' [[nbsp]] Unfortunately (by my perspective) the Schoen place location does not have the same owner as the one on Monroe (but they're part of the local franchise). The Monroe location is whole-heartedly recommended by me. Go there and you will have a great experience. --["Users/RichardSarkis"] - ------ - ''2009-11-24 13:20:16'' [[nbsp]] I LOVE the Pittsford canal location especially on a warm sunny day! I've been to both locations many many times and I'm convinced that the food is better on the canal. The two are actually run by different owners...maybe that has something to do with it. Just about everything on the menu is great. The dishes are also very reasonably priced. Since I live close by, Aladin's is a perfect place for me to grab something quick to eat when I don't feel like cooking. --["Users/Liren"] - ------ - ''2009-11-30 14:24:14'' [[nbsp]] Gotta say I like the place on Monroe more. Just feel the service is better. As for the food, probably one of favorite places for soup and salad. I like the fact that when you order soup you get a real bowl and don't feel as if you wre just fleeced for $7.00. One of few places where soup and salad is actually a meal. --["Users/almorinelli"]	+ '''ADMIN NOTE: Due to archiving purposes, comments from 2009 and earlier have been moved to ["Aladdin's Natural Eatery/Comments"]'''

I spoke with the owner and he stated he would talk to her. The next time I went there, in front of the owner, the woman started SCREAMING at me non-stop despite the owner's attempts to stop her.

While they have the same menu and their food is extremely similar there are some critical differences. Monroe Ave has always been owned and managed by the lebanese Mina family that opened it and therefore the food is much more authentic and fresher tasting. I have worked at all three locations and can say with 100% certainty that every single dish is much better than at either Schoen Place or Corn Hill. The cooks at Monroe are hispanic and lebanese and have been cooking the dishes there for 10 years or more. The owners and cooks at Corn Hill and Schoen Place are all white and have cooked for 1-2 months-5 years; and trust me you can taste the experience of the Monroe Ave cooks. However, the service, alcohol selection, and scenery are much better at Corn Hill and Schoen Place. If you're looking for a pretty good meal with gorgeous waterfront seating head to Schoen Place on the Erie Canal or Corn Hill on the Genesse River. But if your looking for great Mediterranean food or take-out definitely head to Monroe Ave, who also have outdoor seating on their terrace. --["Users/catwhisperer"]

	+ ------ + ''2012-01-30 21:31:23'' [[nbsp]] My partner and I went here on a Saturday night in the winter, since we've had some really bad luck with finding decent places for dinner downtown before the RPO concert that are quick and affordable. Since we'd both been to Alladins numerous times at both the other locations, we decided to try it out. We parked on the street (that parking lot has been a zoo for years!), and walked up. + + Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was the extremely odd layout. Checkout counter, desert display case, and 2 tables stuck into the corner. Up the stairs were ALL the other tables. The place is arranged on a split-level, with the kitchen located in the center, UNDER the upper tables. With 2 open doors to the kitchen, you can hear and smell everything going on in there. I would assume that during the summer, being seated outdoors would alleviate this condition, but in the winter, you never forget that the kitchen is RIGHT THERE. I would think that a door would help things a lot. Every time you hear somebody drop something, you want to yell "Opa!" + + The food: Typical Alladin's greco-mediterranian fare. Decently done, but about as exciting as a 1982 Ford Escort. Reliable, predictable, and always served on a far-to-small plate, guaranteeing that a good portion of the lettuce will fall onto the table. I had a gyros plate, which, frankly, tasted like a gyros plate, as it always does. My partner had a combo plate (which I like to refer to as the Greek Civil War special...), and it was likewise exactly as expected. Service was quick, wine selection a bit spotty, but beer selections are surprisingly decent (I chose a slightly hoppy Pilsner Urquell, which went quite well with the food). Prices are reasonable, and I frankly would like to see what it's like in the warmer months, when the mighty Genesee river running right past you might make it a more relaxing meal. + + Can't go wrong, and is probably going to be my regular 'plan B' restaurant downtown. --["Users/Alex-C"]

Went to the Corn Hill location and we ordered the Gazpacho soup. Server asked, "Oh, what's that?" Said to myself, "Oh, my god." Salad we ordered was small and wilted. My falafel wrap came out as the wrong order. When it did come out the falafel was cold and really dense. + On a different occasion, I took my parents to the Schoen Place location for the nice view and was embarrassed about the food that came out. Portions were really small and our order was botched. Also, didn't seem very fresh. + + On the other hand, the Monroe Ave location is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is reliably delicious and fresh while the service is always friendly. Can get pretty busy on a Friday/Saturday night, but overall a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. In my opinion the best falafel in town = crispy, warm and light. And did I mention the Limone pasta? Yum! Veggie sampler also a great meal to share. --["Users/pdx87"]

Pittsford location definitely skimps on portions -- their gyro pitas could be viewed as a snack instead of a real meal, which is so disappointing (albeit tasty). I recently tried out the Corn Hill landing location, and their portion sizes were much more generous and more in line with the portion sizes at the Monroe location (without being the typical ridiculously large portions that seems to be the norm now). Love Aladdin's, love the new location at Corn Hill (outdoor seating is very nice), would LOVE to see regular sized portions at the Pittsford location. --["Users/Acarp"]

The appetizer arrived with no plates. Asked for plates and they were delivered very late, almost finished the appetizer. Then during our dinner, they were stacking the outdoor chairs around us- which was very distracting.

There are better alternatives around town and literally across the street which are at the same price or cheaper.

I went out to lunch with a friend to the monroe avenue location. the food was delicious and unbelievably affordable - I had a chicken salad pita (I think) and not only was it massive and delicious it was only about $5. we also split a plate of hummus, which was clearly freshly made and served with crisp veggies. all in all, it was an excellent value. the restaurant itself seemed very nice to me, not sure what all this mention is of foot odor... --["TonyFolenta"] - ------ - ''2008-05-01 10:37:59'' [[nbsp]] I dont understand the appeal of this place.

Aladdins does have tzatziki, if you simply took the time to read the menu. They offer it as a cold soup seasonal as stated in the menu which is a fantasic way to start a meal, especially with the summer around the corner.

Thanks to all of you that had kind things to say. For those of you that had something bad to say well that's the way it goes; everyone feels the way they feel. Although my experience was great. Know that the people that are behind the scenes work vary vary hard at both locations, mainly because such an inexpensive menu means managing more tables in order to take home close to the amount as someone at Outback or Fridays. One clarification - Rochester named Aladdin's a greek restaurant - Not Aladdin's. The true venue is "Natural Eatery" with some Mediterranean specialties - Mostly meaning no additives, preservatives or MSG. This confusion used to always drive me nuts. What still amazes me about Aladdin's is their ability to cater to a gluten free diet. The kitchens are open to variations where some restaurant cooks would say, "no way." --["Users/georgeortin"] - ------ - ''2008-09-01 22:22:54'' [[nbsp]] Great food, the ingredients are always fresh, and the views at the Schoen location are unbeatable. The prices are amazing for the amount of food, and the freshness of all the ingredients. The service is usually slow, which is fine for a leisurely lunch or dinner. If you need your food fast get takeout. --["Users/carolturo"] - ------ - ''2008-09-13 21:13:28'' [[nbsp]] We dined at Aladdin's tonight and I have to tell you that contrary to some posters experiences ours was phenomenal. We have enjoyed Aladdin's (Monroe Ave) in the past but hadn't been back in quite some time and were pleasantly surprised at how alive the place felt. The food was excellent as was the service. The hummus, falafel, and baba ganoush in particular seemed much improved, they somehow seemed more flavorful than I remember. The quality of the vegetables in particular the tomatoes and cucumbers was excellent. The restaurant as well was immaculate and the carpeting appeared to be on the new side. The rest rooms were also spotless! Overall one of the better dining experiences I have had in quite some time. I would recommend trying this restaurant again if it has fallen out of favor with you in the past. --["Users/Cindy"] - ------ - ''2008-09-28 12:38:10'' [[nbsp]] I like Aladdins in Pittsford, I've been going there for years. My favorites are the Hummus, the beef kabob pita and the greek salad. The last few times I've been in there the service has not been good. Once we went in and waited about 5 minutes to be acknowledged, which wouldnt be bad except the place was empty and staff member after staff member walked by us without so much as a glance. Ultimately we ended up taking our business to the Simply Crepes, across the street. They were very busy but acknowledged us as we entered. Other times we have had inattentive service, where we weren't asked if things were ok or if we needed anything. The food is still pretty good but I think the staff may need a refresher course in Customer Service. --["Users/DeniseDafoe"] - ------ - ''2008-10-16 09:45:37'' [[nbsp]] I love the place. I've never had a bad experience there, and I'm a frequent customer to the Monroe Ave. location. I like that I can get a lunch that fills me to just the right point (not stuffed, not hungry) for six bucks. I also never noticed any odd odors, and the place has never made me ill. As to the service, I usually go there for lunch so I can't speak to the evening staff, but the service has always been pretty good to me. --["Users/HandsomePete"] - ------ - ''2008-12-19 18:02:20'' [[nbsp]] For everyone who complains about the greasy, bad-for-you foods at most restaurants, this place is what you seek.

I got and iced tea that was never filled and our waitress dissapeared for quite a long time, leaving us to just sitting there staring at each other waiting for our bill. the only reason I am giving the + is that the salad was very fresh at least and the dressings were tasty.

	+ ------ + ''2011-05-27 16:01:54'' [[nbsp]] The Monroe avenue is the better location. The food is better and the staff is pleasant. Last week we ventured to the Schoen Place location for a graduation celebration. We were very disappointed in the food and the service. The server was not attentive and seemed very rushed. The server didn't bring various items we asked for ( napkins, a beer, and a meal). The server was borderline rude and didn't seem to care how his service was since the tip was automatically added to the bill. The food was delivered and one person ordered the souvlaki and literally got three small pieces of meat hidden amongst a bunch of lettuce. Since we were hosting this party it was an embarrassment to us in front of our family. They were from out of town and we were looking to bring them to a local Rochester restaurant that we thought would be as good as the Monroe location. Since then, many of my neighbors and friends have also concurred on what an awful place the Schoen location is. We will never be back. --["Users/RocDiner"]

After a long wait for bad service and mediocre food (i.e. humos), I'm going to have to agree with lots of the reviewers and stick to the Aladdin's on Monroe ave. I've never had a bad experience there. Who's smart idea was it to open an Aladdin's so close to the other one in the city? Monroe ave is a lot more convenient anyway and you've got Archimage next door :)... I'll stick to the original Aladdin's thank you very much. --["Users/JenniferMason"]

I've always had good service with the staff, and have never waited a long time for the food to come out. Their lentil soup and lenchili are fantastic. They're both balanced, thick and flavorful. You also can't go wrong with any of the pockets, as they're all HUGE with a ton of lettuce, scallions, and sprouts. My favorite pocket is the falafel pocket, as the patties huge, nicely spiced, and will leave your heart in content as you indulge in something so delicious. --["Users/chunkylover53"]

Nothing very fancy, the Monroe Ave. location is a bit dressier but it's hard to argue with the outdoor seating (weather permitting) of the canal location. + + Besides all of that, 2 people can eat ample fresh fresh food well prepared with some great inexpensive wine and take change home if they bring $40.

	+ ------ + ''2010-06-02 11:51:43'' [[nbsp]] Hey, Dice, read carefully. The negativity came from the pudgy blonde 'manager', who is the owner's sister. Either you are employed at the bad customer service Pittsford site or you are affiliated/friends with the owners. did you see in the forum rules 'no shilling'? Dolt! + + A shill is a person who is paid to help another person or organization to sell goods or services. The shill pretends to have no association with the seller/group and gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic customer. The person or group that hires the shill is using crowd psychology, to encourage other onlookers or audience members (who are unaware of the set-up) to purchase said goods or services. Shills are often employed by confidence artists. The term plant is also used. The term is also used to describe a person who is paid to help a political party or other advocacy organization to gain adherents; as with the situation of selling goods or services, the shill gives the impression of being unrelated to the group in question, and gives the impression that he or she finds merit in the ideological claims of the political party. + + Shilling is illegal in many circumstances and in many jurisdictions[1] because of the frequently fraudulent and damaging character of their actions. However, if a shill does not place uninformed parties at a risk of loss, but merely generates "buzz", the shill's actions may be legal. For example, a person planted in an audience to laugh and applaud when desired (see claque), or to participate in on-stage activities as a "random member of the audience", is a type of legal shill. + + "Shill" can also be used pejoratively to describe a critic who appears either all-too-eager to heap glowing praise upon mediocre offerings, or who acts as an apologist for glaring flaws. In this sense, they would be an implicit "shill" for the industry at large, possibly because their income is tied to its prosperity. The origin of the term shill is uncertain; it may be an abbreviation of the Yiddish shillaber. The word originally denoted a carnival worker who pretended to be a member of the audience in an attempt to elicit interest in an attraction. Some sources trace the usage only back to 1914.[2][3] + --["Users/LisaRuns"]

And, a bit shocking how apathetic and rude the management, wait servers and owner can be. The immediate greeting as you walk in the door is never friendly or warm. It feels like a BIG deal by whomever is seating you. Sometimes, the party can be seated without all people present, other times your party has to wait till all members have arrived. The later is always said rudely & in a "I don't care" manner. Never consistent, never pleasant and never warm. Some food items are good but most are mediocre. + + A recent visit to the restuarant was extremely shocking. After I had paid the bill, I was acosted by the waitress, who is also the manager, for not leaving a 15% tip!! Wow, now that's a first. She was one angry woman, let me tell you. Expressing our concerns to the owner on our way out proved fruitless and equally demeaning. He was confrontational, argumentive and towered over me in a very threatening way! It was truly a very upsetting experience. I always thought it was odd the way you were greeted so poorly at Aladdins Pittsford.

They complained about it to the 'manager', who scowled at them and argued with the woman that it really was a piece of mushroom. We saw it moving and confirmed it was a LIVE foreign object. The owner was aware of this issue and deliberately avoided their table (Way to go!). The 'manager' actually brought them the bill with the entire charge of both meals. The woman firmly stated that she was not paying for her meal, and the gentleman stated he wasn't paying for his as well, because he was revolted and unable to finish his meal. As soon as they left, the 'manager' leaned over and told us 'they've done this before!" indicating this couple was unscrupulous and was trying to scam her. I do not agree with this, because it is possible to twice find objects in your food there, I have. I once found a small bug in my greens, which I did not address, but I once also found a huge twig/stick in my salad as big as my pinkie and I addressed it. I thoroughly wash and sort my greens at home and I expect them to do so as well. We told the waitress about it and she removed the charge from our bill. She offered us free dessert, which we declined, but expressed our appreciation with how she handled it. She said the 'manager' will be offering us the free dessert when we pay at the register, and this woman not only neglected to offer us dessert, she scowled at us and refused to greet/speak to us while we checked out. rolled her eyes and sighed loudly.

	+ ------ + ''2010-01-10 09:15:59'' [[nbsp]] Went there on a Saturday night and it was busy so maybe that is why the service was super super slow. The food portions are huge and most of the food we ordered was tasty---the hummus, spanakopita, pasta tourlou, falafel pitas. The souvalaki said it was tenderloin but if that was tenderloin it was the toughest tenderloin I ever had--seemed more like sirloin. Falafels were OK but I think they are better at Sinbad's. All in all a good, inexpensive restaurant and I would return- but at a less busy time.... --["Users/RocDiner"]

I like the fact that when you order soup you get a real bowl and don't feel as if you wre just fleeced for $7.00. One of few places where soup and salad is actually a meal. --["Users/almorinelli"]

I've been to both locations many many times and I'm convinced that the food is better on the canal. The two are actually run by different owners...maybe that has something to do with it. Just about everything on the menu is great. The dishes are also very reasonably priced. Since I live close by, Aladin's is a perfect place for me to grab something quick to eat when I don't feel like cooking. --["Users/Liren"]

I especially enjoy their gazpacho in the summer. As for any differences between location, I think I actually prefer the Monroe location better. I've only been to the Pittsford location once, but when I did go there the waiter was hard to track down and the food took a very long time to come. I've not had either of those problems at the Monroe location, but again, I've only been to the Pittsford location once. --["StevenDibelius"] - ------ - ''2006-11-25 11:25:00'' [[nbsp]] I'd go back just for the baklava!

Their greek dressing is among the best in town, and I have always found the veggies to be very fresh. Their kebab pita is tasty, and a steal at $5. The Pittsford location has ["Rohrbachs"] Scotch Ale on draught. --["EastSideStephen"] - ------ - ''2007-03-23 08:32:10'' [[nbsp]] I can't stand the monroe ave location of this restaurant. It always smells inside. The ["Schoen Place"] one has a nice atmosphere and good food. --["KimBee"] - ------ - ''2007-03-23 12:57:17'' [[nbsp]] That's vague. It smells foul? It smells good, but its too strong? --["RichardSarkis"] - ------ - ''2007-03-23 18:38:13'' [[nbsp]] Sorry, this is the only way I know how to put it: Aladdins on Monroe smells like feet. Dirty feet. Pretty nasty. The one in Schoen Place does not smell like feet. --["KimBee"] - ------ - ''2007-03-23 23:59:34'' [[nbsp]] Well observed, Kimbee! But in fairness, it's just the entryway the smells like feet. Luckily, Oasis is across the street and a million times better (not even taking foot odor into account). --["WegmansFiend"] - ------ - ''2007-04-12 12:44:00'' [[nbsp]] I'll pass along the "foot odor" issue to the owners, there's no reason for - that. --["RichardSarkis"] - ------ - ''2007-05-11 00:13:38'' [[nbsp]] Mmm. Delicious goodness. I have very limited exposure to ["Greek food"] so I am not sure where it ranks on the 'authenticity' scale. However, the pitas are always fresh and tasty. They are more than willing to make adjustments (I get mine light on dressing/feta). In general, I refuse to eat salads but yet I seek out their Chicklaki plate in the summer (probably because it is more chicken and less salad). - - Definitely one of my favourite places to dine in in Rochester! --["OneLove"] - ------ - ''2007-07-21 09:32:07'' [[nbsp]] Aladdin's is cheap! Order a pita or salad and an appetizer and your bill might be around $20 for 2 people. I have never had luck with their soup or chili-too cold and pretty bland. I also wish they would slice their vegetables smaller so that a pita can be eaten like a pita and not a salad. Overall, I enjoy my visits. --["ElaineRobinson"] - ------ - ''2007-08-16 18:49:06'' [[nbsp]] LOVE Aladdins. Good food. Good service. Fresh ingredients. Delightful vegan and vegetarian fare with a mediterranean twist. Their hummus is some of the best I've tasted at a restaurant and their homemade lemonade is unrivaled. --["KaeLynRich"] - ------ - ''2007-09-13 22:48:13'' [[nbsp]] I love this place, especially that hot little number Ashley Sanderl. --["IanLinenfelser"] - ------ - ''2007-11-12 19:52:10'' [[nbsp]] Its an okay and tired concept at best. --["TimothyKinn"]	+ '''ADMIN NOTE: Comments from 2007 and earlier have been archived in ["Aladdin's Natural Eatery/Comments"]'''

My husband and I have been there twice and have been disappointed both times. The service is always with an attitude. We went Friday night and one of the servers slammed the water onto our table, and then literally threw the straws at us. I ordered the pignolia pasta (pine nuts, goat cheese cream sauce, etc), and not only was there absolutely no goat cheese in it (the whole reason I ordered that dish was the goat cheese), but the stench of burnt garlic was overwhelming. What I had was a bland cream sauce with no flavor, and burnt garlic to boot. We are giving up on this place and will just go to the Ithaca one when we are in the area. --["Users/Joslin"]

Their chicken is so tender and marinated to perfection at the Monroe Ave. location. The chicken is a bit drier and ytou get smaller portions at the Pittsford one. Just beware of the clientele. They tend to be rather uppity and holier-than-thou at both locations. I can't say anything bad about the food and the wait-staff is always very friendly. --["Users/PickleCelli"]

Their hot pitas are the best. chicken pita is a favorite of mine and consistently cooked perfectly. Not a big fan of the soups or the cold pitas which are difficult to eat since they're oversized and filled entirely with lettuce. The pittsford Aladdins is a cute place for a date. Desserts are hit or miss. --["Users/JaimeTe"]
