Aladin Grill & Pizza-Haus in Ilmenau

Highly recommend! The food was incredible and the owners amazing. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners and we asked what they would recommend as we are not very familiar with the cuisine. For appetizers we had the best hummus ever (and I have tried lots!) with tasty bread and a hot appetizer called "kibbeh" (WOW! This was SO good! Not spicy, crispy outside with a meat filling that was so flavorful and different than anything I had ever tasted.). We then split the chicken "sandwich" and the beef "sandwich". Again, WOW! So much flavor in both served with delicious sauces. (btw we have lots left over! The portions were very generous). Service was incredible! Can't wait to go back on a Saturday for the live dj/belly dancing entertainment!

Excellent food! Very fresh and you can tell it’s authentic. Owners are so nice and accommodating! Definitely a new favorite spot for Arabic food!

Amazing food, very friendly staff. Hidden gem of Jacksonville.

Great authentic food and excellent customer service.

Delicious food, large portions and extremely professional and friendly staff.

The food here is very good. The slow cooked lamb is a favorite for sure!

Great service and delicious food. My favorite is the Lamb Quzi by far. Try the house tea with cardamom in it. It is quite refreshing! Tried the Alladin fries; like next level cheese fries! The Baklava with pistachio is delicious! Compliments to the chef and the service was amazing too! Everyone was so kind and friendly. There is a live DJ and belly dancing on Saturdays. A must see during this boring time of the pandemic...

Awesome food and service

Place looks wonderful food is excellent w large servings and the hummus is so smooth!!

Very friendly and very authentic cuisine. Portions are generous and prices are fair. Must try the shawarma!

Friendly service and fantastic food. Will definitely go back.

My new favorite restaurant. First, Ms. Patty welcomes you as if she was inviting you into her home. The food is outstanding. Simply, the best Middle Eastern food I have ever eaten - so authentic and delicious. And the hot tea was so fantastic I did not want my cup to empty. So happy to have discovered such a perfect restaurant so close to home. I can't wait to go back.

Awesome 🤩 place to visit! The food is amazing and the service is even better. I have dined her a couple times, and am always pleased! Don’t hesitate to stop in!

Very good food along with excellent service! I will definitely stop by every chance I get. Love it!

Dry

A family owned, genuine Middle Eastern food. The family is so sweet and the food is delicious!

Delicious food, lovely staff

Wow!!! The best shawarma I’ve ever had...tender and thoroughly marinated beef. The pickles added the perfect sour touch and the wrap had a wonderful flavor. The food is matched by the truly welcoming and hospitable owners, Patty and Sam. I came in out of curiosity. I had just had a pedicure at the place down the way and passed this place. I’m so glad I did. I ended up also getting a take out order for my husband. I can’t wait to come back on Saturday for the live music and belly dancing!

Excellent food! So good it will keep you coming back for more 👍

Great beef shawarma sandwich. Excellent service, very nice owners they'll do whatever it takes to make the customer happy.

Please come out and eat here. The best food and service I've had in such a long time. Also, so accommodating. The restaurant is beautiful. If you want amazing food made by amazing people, this is the place to go!

One of my fav spots for tasty middle eastern food. A favorite evening place of mine. I'll return with my coworkers. Bring your appetite because portions are generous.

Middle Eastern food... yummy. Loved this place from the first taste. The service was very helpful and welcoming. They have so many great reviews for a reason.

Incredibly delicious authentic Arabic\Persian cuisine. Friendly staff and large portions. It is a must try. 5+ stars!

Folks. I come from a family history that is jewish, persian and arabic. My family LOVES Middle Eastern cuisine. I am here to tell you that if you want to experience some of the finest in arabic and persian food, Aladdin Grill is THE place to go in Jacksonville. The owners are from the middle east, one is persian and the other arabic. Wonderful people. Kind, warm, attentive to you needs. VERY generous portions. Did I say the food was excellent.. I didnt? Ok, the food is excellent. Safe and clean for COVID concerned. Hookah! Great arabic music in the background. Did i say the food was excellent? I have had hummus, kibbeh, various kabobs, and other standard arabic fare. My wife loves Aladdin Grill. So, plan on visiting many times as I have...and will continue to visit as well.

Amazing food, phenomenal service. If you want authentic Middle Eastern food this is most definitely your place!

Very nice place to eat. People are very friendly and I recommend this place for everyone.

Middle Eastern food... super yummy. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here.

Fist time here and as an Ameriranian, this is great place to have dinner, great combination of Persian and Arabic food, excellent service and very friendly

The food is good

The food, the quality and the service were amazing. Everyone was extremely warm, welcoming and Patty made me feel like family. I had their joojeh and koobideh and both were delicious.

Highly recommend. Good size portions, delicious Iraqi cuisine (with persian options). Enjoyed the Chicken Escalop (arab version of schnitzel), lamb kabob and shawarma are great as well!

Delicous food and amazing customer service. Very pleasant experience

Some of the best and most authentic Persian Mediterranean food I have had. I have traveled the world and even lived in the Middle East and this place is only one of two that I have found the United States that has the most authentic tasting Persian Mediterranean food. The hot tea is a must that is one of the breaking point for me is the Tea and Aladdin Grill did not disappoint. The service was phenomenal and I couldn't have asked for a better time.. the staff treated me and my patry like we were family.. this place is a must try.

Amazing food and excellent service!! We will definitely be back!

What is your phone number, please!! I called the one on the menu! It's not working!

fatty and expensive with no buffet as it was written

Fantastic! That’s all I can say about this place. They serve good, quality food at a fair price. The service is wonderful and it is family owned/run so they put their heart in to everything they do.

Aladdin Grill was recommended by an Arabic friend of ours, so my boyfriend and I came here with high expectations -- and they went above and beyond! The food was amazing, warm and fresh, we literally could not believe how goid it was. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere, the service was fantastic as well. We will definitely be coming here again; I am so happy we found this place...I can tell this is going to become a favorite!!

My top scene for tasty Middle Eastern food. I love this place always quality food & service. Prices that are reasonable. Menu is similar to a restaurant in Jacksonville I liked.

Food and service is fantastic. We went there for the first time and had an amazing experience in there.
