Aladdin’s Eatery (CLOSED)

This is health food that doesn’t taste like health food, fast food that doesn’t taste like fast food—and those are both high compliments. Lemony foul (fava bean puree) arrives at the table just moments after it is ordered. The “rolled pitas”—essentially Middle Eastern burritos stuffed with grilled chicken shistawook and a slathering of toum and then grilled—aren’t far behind. Housemade juices like the sweet carrot-apple provide an extra dose of nutrients. But just in case your mental health requires something stronger, an interesting wine list featuring many Lebanese bottles is on hand.
