Food is neatly prepared, the chicken shawerma plate was tasty, though the portions were a bit small. It's a good spot for a quick bite.

I had a chicken shwarma wrap while visiting vancover for a day, found this little shwarma joint on robson/ Seymour, it was very balanced spiced and taste was awesome.

This is truly a hidden gem! I had the best kunafa ever at this place! So much so that ever since I first had it, I make sure to pick one for togo whenever I'm nearby.
The place is good to stop by for a quick bite too.
They got some really good arabic music.
Great customer service, very polite staff.

Expensive for this kind of food, plus some rude guys allegedly constant customers made a lot of noise when some people went outside.

Beautifully decorated with friendly people and fresh healthy ingredients. I've eaten at almost all the falafel eateries in downtown and rate this No. 1. I eat here almost daily. Thank goodness it's on my commute.

Overall pretty good stuff, about 30% more expensive than its counterparts on Denman/Davie area. Service could be improved, staff lack some basic enthusiasm. Food itself seems to use better ingredients than other guys. My wife likes to get takeout from here, not much to complain.

Fresh vegetables, excellent mixture of textures, and overall deliciously flavorful! Our family had a very filling dinner there, and the staff was really friendly. Thank you for the great food and experience!

It is overpriced … serving in disposable plate.rice was old and cold. Vegetable was extremely old. Less than one tablespoon of hummus served in this dish. Kebab was extremely dry. There was no grill tomato (as per the menu pic). The only satisfying part was chicken which was tasty.
06 April 2023 3:09
Was waiting for my order for 20 min. Meat for wrap is kept under the table instead of being grilled. Meat was undercooked. Give 2 stars for keeping place clean and veggies fresh. But probably won’t be eating here anymore.

The shawarma (Chicken Shawarma Arabi was shawarma in wrap served on a bed of rice) genuinely tasted high quality and they put in more effort than other shawarma joints by toasting your wrap after assembly.

With all that said, it is a bit too expensive and orders can take too long likely due to what I mentioned. Shop has cool atmosphere and is clean. Try it!
28 February 2023 15:10
Omg TRUST ME! What a great experience, thank you for the awesome service and WOW the hummus was like no other. A truly authentic experience, I highly recommend to anyone walking up and down robson st to stop by and check it out for lunch

It is supposed to be a shawarma wrap and it is the opposite. The wrap was made with flour tortilla and the lettuce is was almost rotten

Love this place, the chicken pitta is amazing and they are so friendly and the food is awesome!

Best Chicken Shawarma on Robson. I eat here so much they start my order when they see me walk in the door!
30 September 2022 12:18
Nice family business, really clean and the shawarma was real tasty too! Recommend this place:) thank you!
10 September 2022 3:04
Wrap was good but not worth the wait. I had to wait more than 30 minutes probably because it was Sat afternoon. I chose wrap so it would b fast but unfortunately it took that long!
16 July 2022 19:36
Made a quick stop here for lunch. Turned out to be a nice experience. The staff were friendly, the food was great. Small dining area with some outside seating. Food was fresh and delicious and priced right. Will defintely go again when I'm in the area.
25 May 2021 2:52
I used to go here everyday for a year when I lived close by. Really delicious and price is fair for the portion you get.
19 May 2021 23:56
This restaurant is wonderful and roomy, the menu was delightful and the rates were very fair.quick, efficient service and very affable staff. Recommended.
21 February 2021 20:51
I really enjoy this place. The staff/ owner is super nice and the chicken wrap is prevent decent. It's a great find and no wait time.
21 December 2020 4:21
It was a great surprise. Really tasty food that definitely it’s worth it for the price you pay. As it’s a small place be prepared to wait a while to be seated, unless you don’t mind to get the food to go. Anyway it’s still a good choice in Vancouver.
20 December 2020 5:24
First-rate environment and super welcoming service. The food was fresh and delicious. Will absolutely recommend this place to my friends. Convenient rates and big portions. Keep up the great work.
18 November 2020 11:05
Best Falafel I have ever had!
Highly recommended and the lady working there is super nice.
18 October 2020 5:57
By far the best food ever! You will not be disappointed With anything you order! From the exotic drinks in the cooler to the delicious and welcoming atmosphere. This place is 5 star in every aspect. Very good people! They even gave us fries on the house!
17 October 2020 23:04
THE BEST RESTAURANT in Vancouver. Everytime I visit Vancouver, I make sure to go there. I couldn't find a place with the same quality of food and service as this restaurant in Edmonton or even Vancouver.
13 October 2020 11:16
I eat in this spot a lot since I work nearby. I got to say the service is always excellent and they keep the place neat consistently. Pricing is fair and they serve sizeable portions.
18 June 2020 5:43
If you are looking for some good middle eastern food while visiting downtown vancouver, I would highly recommend going here. The staff is friendly, the food looks good and tastes great! The price is fair for what you get. It is a little small for seating but you can get your food to go if there is no seating. Overall a great place to eat.
26 March 2020 17:49
Good food. It's delicious but the way they serve their food especially their wraps are not the best. Last time I bought a wrap, as soon as I started to eat, the sauce started to lick at the bottom of sandwiche like crazy and I've got sauce on my clothes and my table and I had no tray and there was not even enough napkins to clean that mess up.
05 March 2020 14:47
I asked for feta cheese on my chicken wrap. Since they ran out in the front, the worker brought some from a container in the back. When I got home and had a bite of the wrap.it tasted horrible. The feta cheese had clearly expired a long time ago. The moldy smell and taste was so strong that I had to throw away the entire wrap.
26 February 2020 16:39
The best Falafel in town. It reminded me of the falafel I used to eat back in Palestine. The Lamb Arabi is Delicious. I highly recommend it
13 February 2020 21:36
It's okay.not the best shawarma I've ever had but not the worst. It's a convenient location if your starving, but there is definitely better places around if you can wait.
13 February 2020 0:09
Best arabi shawarma I’ve had since years ago. Brought me back to the good old days. Very authentic! Definitely recommend
04 February 2020 21:26
I've tried almost every single Shawarma plate in Downtown Vancouver if not all (Baghdad Cafe, Babylon Cafe, mr. Shawarma ect) to name a few, Aladdin Cafe is my #1 for 9 years I have not found a better chicken shawarma yet! The chicken is so tender here, hommus is best in town and the rice and tabouleh salad are always fresh. Check them out ASAP if you haven't been here yet!
27 December 2019 21:11
Tasty, crispy and fresh falafel. Will definitely come back. Would love to see recycling and no single use flatware though.
16 December 2019 22:59
Always delicious. Super clean, great friendly service, and food is flavourful and high quality. Get the chicken shawerma plate)
10 December 2019 1:18
I came with my daughter teenager in Aladding cafe on Sunday evening. The meal was amazing. The people there amazing. The service is amazing. Thank you!
05 December 2019 14:07
Pretentious staff, food has inflated tourist prices. You end up with an experience not worth what you pay.
02 December 2019 17:44
Yesterday was the first time we visited this magnificent restaurant. But It is no doubt not the last time. We had great time with the generous service, with the finest dishes and fine drinks and with the comfortable pay. We will absolutely visit there soon.
26 October 2019 1:14
Vry good beef quality, tasted like cuts of steak? It takes a little longer to get your order but well worth the wait.
31 August 2019 6:59
In my opinion they have the best chicken wrap in town. They are always consistent with getting that nice crust on the chicken that makes it so much better. They have a very nice selection of toppings that take the wrap over the top, we especially like the pickled turnip. White and red sauce is also a must. If you like spicy and want to experience the magnificent wrap the way we do ask them for chicken wrap, no onions or tabouli (sorry tabouli fans). Then we go ever thing else with extra pickles, turnips and hot peppers. Ask them to finish off with copious amounts of white and red sauce. If you don't like the spice, just omit the hot peppers and red sauce. The other options are great as well especially the chicken rice plate that almost takes me back to a New York street cart of Halal Boys fame. They are very friendly and it's easy to taste the difference!

Delicious and filling
Real tasty food. Delicious! Something I can't find in Vancouver. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone.
10 August 2019 22:48
Tourist trap! Small portions and slightly overpriced compared to competition.
Food took forever to be served. Not going back.
28 July 2019 22:46
Aladin Café on Robson was a great discovery while looking for a quick bite to eat. Not craving the typical offering of fast food joints, a shawarma wrap came as an interesting option. Service here was very quick and friendly, in no time we were sitting down and enjoying our food. The wrap itself, just perfect! The chicken and veggie layers complemented by taboule, tahini, and hot sauce. Crunchy, soft and tender, tart and spicy.the perfect mix of textures and flavours! Price, very reasonable. Definitely worth a stop!
05 March 2019 4:57
Fast, friendly, flavorful; this place is a hidden gem and my wife and I eat here weekly (sometimes more). Highly recommend for anyone craving shawarma and toum.

The food was good, but not as good as before. Previously their chicken was crispy and tender, now it’s dry. You guys can do much better than this.
05 February 2019 16:28
Got lamb shawarma and it was absolutely amazing. One of the bests Ive had. Very flavorful and the meat was tender! Staff was very pleasant as well.
27 January 2019 1:33
For some reason, their donair plate tasted very authentic - not that I've actually had an "authentic" experience. It was a bit pricy, but man it was really good.

I usually give 4 stars to donair places I frequent, but this place deserves 5 stars.

It was a bit pricy but it was worth it.
25 January 2019 21:31
Great shawarma and falafel place. Keep strong their quality for last 2-3 years. And small things like Organic Bread always adding to positive impression. Alex recommend this!
20 January 2019 16:26
The best middle eastern I've ever had. Really authentic flavours. I loved the chicken shawarma plate. Unfortunately I was only visiting Vancouver. Ill miss you alladin
