Aladdin's Cafe
Our team members are always looking for opportunities to bring a smile to your day - because when you're happy, we're happy. We treat others the way we'd want to be treated, both inside the restaurant and out in our communities. I hate to give this a five, since I want to keep it a secret, but I love this little cafe!

I had a grilled chicken in a sack, that was on the lightest, tender pita I have ever had. Hubs had the Philley Steak, sorry, no cheese whiz, more like a steak sammie on a hoagie roll, delicious all the same. Nice selection of sandwiches and salads, maybe next time. We will be back again and again! We stopped here for dinner and were totally blown away.
Services

If anyone remembers the old Penn Station that was here before, it was a place you went in once and never came back. I'm so thankful Aladdin's moved across town from Central and Woodland to where he is now, right in the heart of West Hills.

The sandwiches are fire: steak in a sack, falafel, gyro, cheeseburger heaven, etc, and not to mention they have one of my favorite sides Fried Okra!!

So if you find yourself in the West Hills area, and want a good meal, stop by and grab a gyro or whatever sandwich you may be craving. I know you will love it!

Cheers & Enjoy!

I decided to try this place after driving past it many times on Kingston pike! Walked in and was pleasantly surprised but how clean it was. I came to get a Gyro sandwich and only problem I had was I checked the menu and prices before hand and was fine with that, but after coming in I saw to make it a combo it was an extra $4.xx. I understand charging to make something a combo but that took the meal from around $11 to $15 which is fine, just wish I knew ahead of time. I decided on the Gyro Salad instead and actually ended up really enjoying it! I still recommend this just make sure you know ahead

Not impressed. Asked if gyros had a good amount if meat and was told had a good portion. The gyros came out and the gyros had so little meat that I pulled half the pita beard off and all I could taste was bread. No meat flavor. My husband had a club sandwich and they used cheap meats and not much on the double club. Its disappointing when you pay 10.00 a sandwich and get nothing on them...

Didn’t even leave the parking lot to leave this review…
The vegetarian falafels were simply delicious. They are fresh, homemade. Even though they offer a lot of meat options, they are very respectful for vegetarian and vegan customers because they respect the space by cooking things separately including the oil. The owner who runs the place is very proud and happy to serve his customers.
Would definitely at least try it. The results are amazing.
Happy eating everyone.
Hope this review helped for vegetarians out there like me.

This place is such a hidden gem in Knoxville. All the food is fresh and delicious! I especially enjoy the burger and the steak in a sack. And always grab an order of falafel...you will not be disappointed. I promise!

Good variety with some Middle Eastern items. Place is clean and service is polite and friendly. I've had the Gyro and Reuben so far. Both were very solid, but nothing special. Definately worth follow up visits to try other menu items.

I saw this restaurant from the road as I was driving by. I thought it was Arabic, and I guess it is. The menu is more Greek American than Arabic. You order and pay up front at the counter. The worker was very friendly and pleasant. It took over 30 minutes to get my single order of Falafel sandwich and Fries. It wasn't busy, so 3 stars is for friendliness. The Falafel was good as were the French fries. I may up the stars on my next visit if the food comes out under 15 minutes. This is a fast food style restaurant.

I was disappointed. The gyro was flavorless. The philly cheese steak was a complete disappointment. Was flavorless and bottom of bread was soggy Looks were deceiving.

We discovered this wonderful cafe last week and have had lunch there twice now. Homemade falafel is the best we've had anywhere, available in a pita, on a salad or as a side. The steak in a sack (pita) is mouth-watering. The chicken shawarma to die for. Al, the owner, is warm and friendly. Food is cooked to order. Prices are reasonable and the premises are spotless. Go!

Aladdin's Cafe is incredible! We ordered to-go for lunch today, first timers! I got a bacon cheese burger with fried mushrooms & hubby got the Aladdin's burger with fried okra. Seasoned perfectly, may be the best we've had in town! Everything was hot, toppings were fresh! Baklava for dessert! Please order to-go if you're in the Deane hill area or dine outside on the patio! Legit delicious y'all, they're doing it right!

Trying to outrun the Coronavirus and Governor DeWine from the Great State of Ohio and ended up here in Knoxville, TN. It's a good thing. Great weather, plenty of pickleball courts and this restaurant.

We actually got to eat inside to enjoy a wonderful meal. Big selection and super clean restaurant and the owner and staff are crazy friendly!

We will come back everytime we pass through this beautiful city. We'll bring our friends and family with us too. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!!!

We stopped here for dinner and were totally blown away. 1st impression: the restaurant was sparkling clean, and staff greeted us immediately. Our food was brought to our table promptly. I had the falafel pita and was delighted by the tahini sauce which was fresh, light, and citrus-y.

The health food score posted was 100.
The bathroom was clean, warm, and spacious for handicapped. The hook on the back of the door had been installed low enough that someone in a wheelchair could actually reach it; that's a thoughtful touch that you don't see often.
We will be coming back soon.

I stopped by on opening day today with a friend. They relocated here from across town. I was greeted warmly by the owner. He & his staff were courteous & professional. I got the steak-in-a-sack. The ingredients were fresh & the flavors complimented each other, exactly the way real Mediterranean Food should.

I recommend that you stop by & eat here. They are next door to the AT&T store & across the street from the 1950's McDonalds.
