I like Aladdin's. Yummy treats, not too expensive, lots of choices on the menu. And the desserts are terrific!!
But first, dinner. I opted to eat my favorite - ali baba pitza. It's a pita round covered with pureed eggplant as a 'sauce' and on top are sliced, grilled eggplant rounds, feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, kalamata olives, and oregano. This is so yummy.



Next, dessert. I love Aladdin's desserts. They are big pieces of dessert goodness and tasty. I opted for the tiramisu cake. It was very good, and also despite it's size and rich look, it wasn't too heavy/dense or too rich. I ate my entire cake, sharing a couple bites with SP.

SP opted for the lemon cake. It was very tasty - lemony cake layers with white icing, some yellow sprinkles, and a layer of lemon curd.


On previous visits, we've shared an order of dawali (grape leaves), which I find quite tasty. For me, they're the right proportions of rice to chickpea to tomato - and of course they are topped with feta. I've also tried the sfiha, which I find very tasty. In fact, I'd love to order the ali baba pitza and sfiha but that would be way too much food!!! The sfiha's ground meat has a delightful cinnamon-y, spicy flavor to me and it's mixed with tomatoes and pine nuts - yum!!! Another favorite is the fatayer, a spinach & feta pita pie. It's also quite tasty.
I recommend Aladdin's. There's several locations in the Pittsburgh area, the menu is enormous, plenty of options, tasty food, and not too expensive. In fact, I think our desserts cost more than our meals!!!
