Had takeout as we often do if my husband is passing through. We live south of Nanaimo, so we can't have Aladins as often as we would really like. As always the food was fresh, fabulous and the service is always great. I just wished I lived closer so I could have it more often. Don't miss out if you... More

We have enjoyed dining in and take out numerous times. The food quality is consistant and delicious. The chef prepares lamb, chicken,beef and seafood with a wonderful blend of spices, which are sometimes unexpected with delicious results. Everything on the menu is of superb quality, freshness and exotic. Many vegetarian and gluten free options too. A wide variety of appies,... More

Aladdin's is consistently great. I have been many times and even though Mediterranean food isn't my "go-to" the food here is outstanding. The portions are HUGE! The service is great and the setting is funky and interesting. I love the Lentil soup! PS It is one of the only restaurants I would feel comfortable eating by myself. Just has that... More

How could this place be in Nanaimo? An atmosphere that has that lovable hole in the wall feeling that makes you feel like you've discovered somewhere special while having just fantastic authentic middle east cuisine, a staff that makes you feel in minutes like one of the family and prices better then the generic big restaurants. I would take business... More

What a plate, Greek salad, spices carrots, mashed potatoes, mushroom we held the onions and a wonderfully marinated piece of filet cooked to perfection all for a great price. We love the... More

Consistently good food at reasonable prices! The food is always fresh and full of flavour. I can't get enough of the spinach pie and the seafood pasta.

This is one of our favourite restaurants. We like to hit this restaurant for lunch and you will never be disappointed. The restaurant may not look like much but WOW. Don't expect the food to be served fast as it is not fast food. Everything is fresh and you scan taste it. Prices are affordable too. Don't miss out if... More
