Ordered a cheese pie but was disappointed the crust was fine, but there was barely any cheese on it not worth it if you’re looking for a cheesy experience

I had fresh out of the oven Manaqeesh (thyme) with Cheese and vegetables (tomatoes, green olives. It tastes very good. I found it to be at a reasonable price. I wish if it was thin crusts

Aladdin Bakery, located at 1020 St. Laurent Blvd, Ottawa, ON K1K 4S2, is a hidden gem for lovers of authentic Lebanese and Arabic cuisine. This charming establishment offers both a restaurant and bakery experience, where you can indulge in a variety of freshly made Middle Eastern specialties. One of the bakery's standout offerings is its traditional manakish, also known as manaeesh. These flavorful flatbreads come in a variety of toppings, including za'atar (a fragrant mix of thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac), spiced meats, and more. Whether you're craving something savory or simple, the manakish options are sure to delight your palate. In addition to manakish, Aladdin Bakery produces a wide range of fresh bread and other baked goods daily. The quality and freshness of their products are evident with every bite, and the aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. What makes Aladdin Bakery even more appealing is its affordability. Despite the high quality of the food, the prices remain reasonable, making it a great option for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Lebanese flavors without breaking the bank. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite, picking up some freshly baked bread, or enjoying a full meal, Aladdin Bakery offers an authentic, satisfying, and budget-friendly taste of Lebanon in the heart of Ottawa.

The food was good and very reasonably priced. It's located in a shopping center and the inside is small which doesn't allow for many tables for sitting. I tried the Zaatar and Veg which was full of flavor.

I've been to that bakery for almost 30 years and they are exceptional. The mana'eesh (Lebanese pies) taste authentic and very delicious, plus their dough is light and doesn't dry up like that of other bakeries. The cheese and zaatar pies are exquisite, but I noticed that their meat pies and very popular. The great thing about those pies is that they taste fresh even after you freeze them, and they're handy for whenever you don't feel like cooking or ordering a heavy meal. Aladdin is the best Lebanese pie in Ottawa. They mastered the art of making mana'eesh and their service is excellent ... very friendly staff and they're super fast in fulfilling orders despite long lineups.

A simple yet delicious Middle Eastern meat pie that won't break the bank. Ordered a meat pie with cheese for $4.25, cash only. They make it fresh on the spot, so it's super hot and delicious when you receive it. Meat is wonderfully seasoned, it's oily, and it's awesome. Simply put, it's a great local business in the area and I'd highly recommend coming here.

Would Return. CASH ONLY. kinda sick of cash only in 2024, at least take debit.. Two habibis taking orders in between conversations. In the kind of neighborhood where you double press your car keys, twice... Twice. Authentic bread and small focused menu. Zaartar - smaller side, average topping but they're fired up fresh. $3 Meat - typical, fresh. $3.75 Some parking. Cash Only.

Stood at Mr Pizza for 10 minutes while getting ignored by their staff while they conversed amongst themselves. So I left, and next door, noticed a large line-up so I thought I would give it a try. Wow. Great price, just baked, steaming meat pies were AMAZING. Tried the half-meat, half cheese was great. Zaatar with veg was equally tasty. Must go back to try them all!! Thank you Mr Pizza for ignoring me.

I recently ordered and had an extremely disappointing experience. First, part of my order was missing, which is frustrating when you re expecting a complete meal. On top of that, the food that did arrive was well below standard. leaking It was cold, tasted stale, and lacked any real flavour. For the price, I expected far better quality. I m really disappointed with my experience.

Whenever I pass there nearby, I make sure to grab a Zataar & Veggie with Labneh from them. It tastes sooo grear! I ve been to other similar bakeries but none of them serve Zataar & Veggie with Labneh. Which is a disappointment. Their other stuff is good too. The only problem I had is they only accept cash.

The meat pie had barely any meat and the cheese pie had barely any cheese. We spent $75

July 23, 2024

Went to this place and there was a line of people before me. Cashier took cash from all of them. I ordered a meat with cheese pie, he then stuck his hand into the cheese bucket and sprinkled cheese onto the pie. No washing hands and no gloves after just accepting/returning cash to several people in line before me. We threw the pies away we haven t been back since.

Got food poisoning for the 3rd time because of the meat pie. Uncooked and soft tartar like. The reason why I say 3rd time is because I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, oh its the tomatoes oh its something else oh its just me. But nope, it is the meat pie. I can eat anywhere, anything including their own potatoe pie, spinach pies, spinach and cheese, cheese pies everything else is ok. But the meat pie needs to be reviewed. They put the oven at a high temperature so the crust cooks quickly without giving time for the meat to cook. It makes sense because the meat is nicely mixed with tomatoes and onions so is just more liquid so needs a bit more time than the crust to actually cook. Perhaps Im wrong and its well cooked but just bad quality of meat? Regardless, will not go again because honestly being folded in 2 for 5 hours for the 3rd time doesnt feel good at all.

June 23, 2024

I will say I ve had many bad experiences at this place and i definitely do not recommend going. To start id like to point out that i have been going to this spot for about 10 years but recently Ive been getting so disappointed that I dont think I ll ever go back. It all started back when i walked in during Christmas time and the gentleman behind the counter decided it was appropriate to cuss out the sacred holiday. I understand if you dont celebrate Christmas because you practice islam but you should have more respect to other people s beliefs. Just like you expect the respect back. Also, the quality of the pies have declined drastically and it seems they have started cheaping out because the prices have gone up but the amount of meat or cheese you get on the pies have decreased. So it makes no sense why it would even be more expensive if you re putting less meat/cheese.

Food is ok, but the owner at the cash is always pissed off. You never get a warm welcome from him. It is almost as if he is doing you a favor to serve you. He is lucky the Schools nearby dont have another meat pie place near them. Otherwise, with service like that, no one would enter the place. He could be a nice guy, but he is not made to be at the front cash dealing with customers.

It sounds like the bakery needs to improve the balance of ingredients in their zaatar and cheese pastry, Too much dough and tiny bit of toppings ensure proper cooking time for their meat pies, I hope this feedback help make necessary adjustments for a better customer experience.

I ve been eating here for 25 years. I currently live In Vancouver, and Aladdin s is a guaranteed stop when I travel west. My orders for the last 25years have been Meat and cheese with lemon and spice. Or cheese with veg, extra olives. I would define their pies as a cross between a quesadilla and a taco birrili, kissed with the flavours and love of the Middle East.

We were craving menekeesh and found this place through reviews. It is a small space with not much seating, but extremely busy with most people taking it to go. Service is fast and efficient, and as others have said, cash only. We sat down to enjoy the food fresh. The dough is fluffy and delicious, but also very filling so pace yourself! We tried the zaatar, cheese & meat, and feta & green olive. All were really delicious! We took more to go afterwards and enjoyed them the next day. Will definitely be back.
