Totally happy today with my trip to Aladdin Gourmet - ran in to get some haloumi on my way to BevMo - they had everything I needed and more that I didn't, including frozen Kunafe - the man at the register was very nice - I mentioned that my favorite Kunafe man moved to Ohio - to which he replied, "We make Kunafe here!" oh my goodness I was so excited. He shouted in Arabic to the man in the deli area to give me a piece - IT WAS DELICIOUS! I have my new Kunafe place! I was so sad when the last guy moved to Ohio and now I have my prayers answered - FRESH KUNAFE and still within a mile of my home! Next time I will get some of their fresh food on display - it looked and smelled delicious in there. Can't wait to visit them again! Meanwhile, I will eat my frozen Kunafe they carried, and will visit Aladdin again soon for my fresh Kunafe fix!
Great middle eastern grocery. You can find almost everything.

We ordered a variety of kabobs, including Kubideh, chicken, and vegetables. The food was excellent, although we had to wait an extra 20 minutes (35-40 minutes in total) for it to get ready. Hopefully this is not a typical occurrence so I gave 5/5 for now.

Great selection of Middle Eastern products and very friendly staff. They make nice Mana’esh (flatbread topped with Zaatar, Cheese or Meat). Will definitely be returning.

Coming from Toronto, I can safely say his shawarma is probably one of the better ones in the Bay Area. Surprisingly he has a takeout restaurant inside of a grocery store. I appreciate owner is always there, sometimes he’s a bit flustered but always a great experience.

The owner's name is Walid and he is a nice and friendly person. I appreciate the high quality of his Manakish (Arabic: مناقيش), they are always fresh and tasty, they are even better than those served at many bakeries in Lebanon. The store is clean and organized. The gentleman at the cash register is as nice as Walid.
Very tasty pizza, nice meats, and nice selection of products. The old man at the cash register is such an amazing man.
The Arabic bread with freshly baked sesame seeds is very delicious!!
The zatar bread, musaka and hummus are great!

Good place to buy Halal meat and Arab groceries close to San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos, and Redwood City area. Lots of delicious mezze options (be careful it can very expensive very fast because you want everything haha). baklava is fresh. they also, apparently, make their own Turkish delight but be careful and don’t buy the dark one with pistachios because it has chocolate inside and this unpleasant surprise has never happened to me before, however the Rose Turkish delight is good and it’s all delight inside, out, no surprises.

Fuad is super friendly and the freshly made food is delicious
The shop offers grab and go food (generally known as Mediterranean in the US) + a small grocery store. Solids variety health products, tasty foods at a pretty good price point

Amazing selection that’s family owned and operated that’s open for the holidays.
Nice selection of halal options ranging from Meat, Lamb, Goat, Chicken, and Turkey. They have delicious middle eastern bakery specialties plus deli meats. There’s so many different options to list here, just drop by and visit.
The only issue I had here is parking which can be challenging.

Aladdin market has the best beef shawerma I’ve ever had and that’s saying something. The meat is perfectly seasoned tender fatty beef grilled to perfection wrapped in a lavash with pickles, beets and hot sauce inside the wrap. The prices are very reasonable and the baba Ganoush is also very good I highly recommend

Ordered the lamb kebab dinner. The lamb was tender and rice was flavorful (a bit oily though). The portion is so generous that I have leftover for lunch! I will try the lamb shank next time.

A great market to find your Turkish, afghan and Arab staples! Great fresh produce and meat. They have the best cheese selection and have all your childhood snacks you grew up eating back home! The owner is a wonderful helpful person as well. Prices are reasonable and nothing is expired. I come here at least once a week :)

I just love their food! They have three types of feta (one of my kids swears she's a vegetarian so...), And we buy all our walnuts, parsley, peeled garlic, and pita regularly from them! (Plus, the owner is such a nice guy, as is everyone that works there!).. all the prices are labeled correctly which is pretty weird to see in most stores these days! I'm just really happy with everything I ever buy there and go there all the time!
PS, thank you for always dealing with my kids and me!
