Aladdin Express Restaurant
Reviews
Everything about Aladdin's is AWESOME!! This is probably the best place to just chill and hang out in all of Richmond. It is so much better than Sahara's. Aladdin's has the best food, atmosphere, and service, and the people who come here are just chill as hell. Super laid back. I've come here with friends many, many times and we will just sit and chill out for hours. Aladdin's has free WiFi, too. Next time you're there, be sure to try the lamb gyro, baklava, and a Turkish coffee... the best stuff on the menu! And curly cheese fries are a MUST!
We smoke hookah on a regular basis. Recently we wanted to try this place and have gone there a few times before we couldnt stand them anymore. They accept nothing but Cash. Their food takes forever to cook. If you ask for an extra disposable cup (bcz u had to use one as an ashtray, since they didnt have those), you wont get one. Their charcoal keeps sliding off of the hookah bcz the hookah top is not flat and keeps moving . And one time it fell on my hand!!!! The waiter came over after calling him 4 times, gave us attitude like it was our fault. We decided to leave and on the way was telling him to treat his customers better and may be apologize when their terrible hookah setup burns the customers hand. He told us it was our fault bcz we were playing with the hookah and pretty much started yelling at us. None of us even touched the hookah or moved it. So yea they lost our business!! You dont want to burn your hand and be yelled at for it, dont go!!
Great place to get a hookah and eat some good food. Very friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back.
The shisha was good. They use Al falkher and waha. The worst part is they only except cash. That personally is a deal breaker. Its the 21st century and for a business that caters to the youth in the middle of a college town, I thinks its a must to except credit. It also shows that the owner does not care to about what's convenient for the customers.
I love this place the service is quick and friendly, its not to expensive and the food is Delicious and not expensive the bad part was that they only except cash, they do have an atm in the restaurant but no one wants to pay a fee...The shisha is good and they are constantly checking and replacing it
