I want to take a moment to thank the entire team at Aladdin Gourmet in San Mateo for the wonderful catering service they have provided for us over the last several years.

We have used Aladdin Gourmet for catering on many occasions, and they have consistently been a great choice for our events. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and they offer a wonderful variety of Middle Eastern dishes that our guests always enjoy.

What I appreciate most is the service and care they put into their catering. Over the years, they have helped make our events easier and more enjoyable, and we have always appreciated their effort and willingness to work with us.

Thank you to everyone at Aladdin Gourmet for all your hard work and for taking care of us over the years. We truly appreciate your service and look forward to many more years of doing business with you.

Highly recommended for catering and great Middle Eastern food! - Mary Hazin

The Mediterranean diet offers exactly that kind of steady, natural fuel, built on whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats instead of quick fixes.

Baharat is a warm, all-purpose spice blend whose name simply means “spices” in Arabic, with roots tracing back to the spice trade routes through Aleppo, Syria. This aromatic mix of black pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cloves brings an earthy sweetness to Middle Eastern kebabs, stews, and rice dishes.

Quick tip: Rub baharat onto chicken or lamb before grilling, or stir a pinch into hummus for a warm, fragrant kick.

I just love their food! They have three types of feta (one of my kids swears she's a vegetarian, so...), and we regularly buy all our walnuts, parsley, peeled garlic, and pita from them! Plus, the owner is such a nice guy, as is everyone who 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!

P.S. Thank you for always dealing with my kids and me!

Still the best tabouli, hummus, fruits, and pita—just the best all the way around! Thank you! – Angela Stucker
