Loading ...Aladeen Middle Eastern

David Snyder finds enough to like at Aladeen Middle Eastern Restaurant on South Street that he’ll be back.
The first is a traditional Moroccan bastilla. If a breakfast burrito had sex with a coffee cake, this would be their offspring. A mammoth pastry crust stuffed with eggs, chicken, crushed almonds and spices is baked, and then topped with mounds of powdered sugar and latticed with ground cinnamon. Though Aladeen lists it as an app, the pie’s sweet and savory interplay satisfies my lifelong quest for a compelling meat-based dessert.

I went to Aladeen last night and I was floored! The food was awesome! My roommate and I started out with the hummus as an appetizer and it was excellent. We also indulged on their vegatable pita pizza and baked chicken. We were too full for baklava but we will be back next time for that. The best part was that the whole meal only costed a total of $24.50, not including tip. We will definately be back.
