Aladdin

Since 1981 The Aladdin Restaurant has been serving the Lehigh Valley the finest middle eastern cuisine. We truly are a family owned and operated restaurant and we invite you to join us at Aladdin. Come see why we have been successfully in business for over 34 years. Violette Younes owner and head chef prides herself on serving only the freshest ingredients. She works tirelessly to ensure the best quality and consistency our customers have come to expect over the years. We prepare the freshest shish kabobs. Our grapeleaves are individually handrolled. We make fresh batches of hummus and babaganouj daily. We only use our own homemade dough for our spinach pies and meat pies. Each dish is crafted with passion. Ed and Violette immigrated to America from Syria in the 1970s. They opened Aladdin in 1981 on 2nd Street in Allentown with the simple idea of serving fresh authentic middle eastern food that they had in their hometown village Amar. The first 18 years of Aladdin were on 2nd Street. Ed, Violette and their family lived on the second floor of the building and ran the restaurant below. In 1999, they expanded and bought the current location here on Union Boulevard. Although Ed passed away in 2000, Violette and her daughters continue to run Aladdin today. Aladdin Restaurant is proudly family owned and operated for over 30 years and counting. Thank you for being part of our family!
