Aladdin’s Eatery
Aladdin’s Eatery is a celebrated Lebanese-American restaurant chain that began in 1994 in Lakewood, Ohio. Founded by Fady and Sally Chamoun, the restaurant was born from their vision of bringing the wholesome, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to a wider audience. With a focus on health-conscious dining, Aladdin’s quickly gained a reputation for offering fresh, high-quality dishes rooted in traditional Lebanese recipes while catering to modern tastes.
The menu features a rich variety of Mediterranean classics, from hummus, baba ghanoush, and tabbouleh to hearty shawarma platters, wraps, and soups. Signature dishes include the Chicken Mishwi, a spiced and grilled chicken served with savory rice, and the Lamb Rolled Pita, a perfect fusion of tender lamb and fresh veggies wrapped in warm pita bread. Aladdin’s also boasts a selection of vegan and vegetarian-friendly options, along with their signature smoothies and desserts, such as the creamy baklava cheesecake.
Over the years, Aladdin’s Eatery has expanded to more than 30 locations across the United States, particularly thriving in the Midwest and East Coast regions. Its combination of flavorful cuisine, healthy options, and inviting ambiance has made it a favorite for both casual diners and Mediterranean food enthusiasts. The chain’s commitment to freshness and authenticity continues to solidify its place as a beloved destination for Mediterranean dining.
Mediterranean Chicken and Rice
Mediterranean Chicken and Rice is a symphony of flavors that captures the heart and soul of coastal cuisine. This dish, a celebration of sun-drenched Mediterranean traditions, begins with tender, marinated chicken infused with the warmth of herbs like oregano and thyme, the zest of lemon, and the earthy depth of garlic. As it cooks, the chicken develops a golden, savory crust, releasing an aroma that beckons diners to the table.
The rice, often simmered with fragrant spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, or bay leaves, becomes a flavorful canvas for the dish. Sometimes adorned with toasted nuts or plump raisins, it harmoniously balances savory and sweet. Drizzles of olive oil, tangy yogurt sauces, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds add brightness and texture, elevating each bite.
This dish isn’t merely sustenance—it’s a journey. It conjures images of bustling marketplaces, azure seas, and the warmth of shared meals with loved ones. Mediterranean Chicken and Rice is as much about the spirit of togetherness as it is about the perfect fusion of flavors. A dish that bridges cultures, it remains a timeless favorite, offering comfort, nourishment, and a taste of the Mediterranean sun.
