As a native New Yorker and a Navy vet deployed to the Persian Gulf, I've been to many Middle Eastern restaurants. Little Aladdin bring authentic flavors to this part of CT. The chicken shawarma is outstanding and so are the falafel. The hummus and tahini (not pictured) are also amazing! Only grip is maybe on salty side but still delicious. I hope this place stays here forever! Keep up the great work!

Absolutely delicious shawarma and hummus. We tried both the mixed and the chicken shawarma and both were fantastic. The fries were deliciously hot and crispy. The portion sizes for the sides of hummus and fries were generous, so my husband and I were able to split one order of two sides between us while eating our own entrees. The staff was friendly and the seating area was nice and clean. We will definitely come back if we are in the area again.

Phenomenal Mediterranean food, I decided to switch it up from my favorite sandwich in storrs, the chicken schwarma grinder with taziki (I highly recommend it, the bread is always perfectly toasted, the chicken is juicy and the sauce is crazy delicious) but this time I got the chicken schwarma over rice with falafel. It met the high standard set by the grinder, definitely check it out if you're looking for a good meal (and at a good price)

I ordered the chicken shawarma entree with rice and salad. It came with a side of pita bread. The food was delicious. The restaurant was very clean. Definitely worth checking it out! Lots of great menu options.

Just tried this for the first time tonight! Everything was amazing. The falafel was out of this world! Also was obsessed with the fried cauliflower appetizer. We tried the mixed shawarma entree with hummus. We over ordered and didn’t regret a second of it! The staff were also super kind and helpful! They told us everything was homemade and it definitely tasted that way. Great job little Aladdin! We will be back.
