Aladdin Gourmet | Grocery & Gourmet Store | Falafel, Humus, Halal Meat in San Mateo

Amazing inventory. Great team. Very welcoming attitude. Not very effective ordering process for food. After all, I will certainly go back

Grocery place has a very unique homemade items, great meats and great packaged cookies.
But the parking is challenge with the scarey traffic at times.

We ordered a variety of kabobs, including Kubideh, chicken, and vegetables. The food was excellent, although we had to wait an extra 20 minutes (35-40 minutes in total) for it to get ready. Hopefully this is not a typical occurrence so I gave 5/5 for now.

Coming from Toronto, I can safely say his shawarma is probably one of the better ones in the Bay Area. Surprisingly he has a takeout restaurant inside of a grocery store. I appreciate owner is always there, sometimes he’s a bit flustered but always a great experience.

Great selection of Middle Eastern products and very friendly staff. They make nice Mana’esh (flatbread topped with Zaatar, Cheese or Meat). Will definitely be returning.

Thier bakery is amazing 👏

Great tasty halva Basbosa ,and stuffed freshly baked stuffed breads and all kinds of sweet breads and baklava ,thier dates cookies are the best 👌

The falofel & baba ganosh was so delicious! A bit hard to find from maps with limited parking.

The owner's name is Walid and he is a nice and friendly person. I appreciate the high quality of his Manakish (Arabic: مناقيش), they are always fresh and tasty, they are even better than those served at many bakeries in Lebanon. The store is clean and organized. The gentleman at the cash register is as nice as Walid.

A great market to find your Turkish, afghan and Arab staples! Great fresh produce and meat. They have the best cheese selection and have all your childhood snacks you grew up eating back home! The owner is a wonderful helpful person as well. Prices are reasonable and nothing is expired. I come here at least once a week :)

Amazing selection that’s family owned and operated that’s open for the holidays.

Nice selection of halal options ranging from Meat, Lamb, Goat, Chicken, and Turkey. They have delicious middle eastern bakery specialties plus deli meats. There’s so many different options to list here, just drop by and visit.

The only issue I had here is parking which can be challenging.

I just love their food! They have three types of feta (one of my kids swears she's a vegetarian so...), And we buy all our walnuts, parsley, peeled garlic, and pita regularly from them! (Plus, the owner is such a nice guy, as is everyone that works there!).. all the prices are labeled correctly which is pretty weird to see in most stores these days! I'm just really happy with everything I ever buy there and go there all the time!

PS, thank you for always dealing with my kids and me!

Great middle eastern grocery. You can find almost everything.

Aladdin market has the best beef shawerma I’ve ever had and that’s saying something. The meat is perfectly seasoned tender fatty beef grilled to perfection wrapped in a lavash with pickles, beets and hot sauce inside the wrap. The prices are very reasonable and the baba Ganoush is also very good I highly recommend

Ordered the lamb kebab dinner. The lamb was tender and rice was flavorful (a bit oily though). The portion is so generous that I have leftover for lunch! I will try the lamb shank next time.

The shop offers grab and go food (generally known as Mediterranean in the US) + a small grocery store. Solids variety health products, tasty foods at a pretty good price point

Love this place. High quality meats. Delicious takeout food including kabab skewers, hummus, and pizzas. Friendly staff they've got what you need.

Great selection of hard to find food.

Very tasty pizza, nice meats, and nice selection of products. The old man at the cash register is such an amazing man.

Love this place, Zatar Pizza is amazing in price and taste

Best quality groceries. Attached restaurant is not so tasty.

But the grocery store options and tastiness as well as the prices are absolutely amazing!
