One of my favorite cafe / takeout was Aladdin Café. They served middle eastern favorites like: grape leaves, falafel patties, foul, hummus, baba ghanouj, and tabbouleh salad. And of course, there's also the lamb, beef, and chicken kabobs. My favorites were their Baklava and other assorted pastries.
Arabic music was always playing and the television was always tuned to some Arabic Satelite channel.
It's like stepping into a shop somewhere in the middle east.
Amazingly, everything were priced very reasonably.
Alas, they weren't able to drum up enough business; so they had to close.
It's a sad day for Baltimore.
p.s., One of the brothers who owned Aladdin's is now working as one of the chefs at the Carlyle (500 University Parkway).
