Ahlan Middle Eastern Cuisine

I drove in from out of town and was looking forward all day for dinner at Ashlan. Unfortunately, the exhaust fan in their kitchen stopped working, so cooking smoke was backing up into the dining room. As I was walking in, they were closing the restaurant.

The woman at the cash register was so apologetic. We had a wonderful conversation about my disappointment, but I completely understood the situation. Unfortunately, my trip itinerary being what it was, I wasn't able to come back the next night to try their food. But I think my experience still qualifies for a review. The customer service during an adverse event and the ambience of the dining room were top drawer. I can't speak for the food, although I'd like to, but it isn't going to withhold me from giving them a great review.

There's never a good time for mechanical problems. I hope they were quickly resolved.

Chicken was dry and tough. Pita bread was not very good. Chicken wrap was small and underwhelming. Goes elsewhere, also restaurant was empty.

I loved my dining experience here! Every dishes tasted so fresh. The restaurant was clean and well lit. The meat was perfectly grilled and full of flavors!

Combo platter for two - beef & chicken shish kabob, chicken cream chop, chicken Tikka, beef shawarma (Gus)
Jido's shawarma (Gus) fries
Curry potato stew & white bean stew
Tabbouli, turshee (pickles), hummus, pita bread

Wow. Just picked up carry out and I'm blown away. Everything is garden fresh and made to perfection. It's a carry out only place and there's a slight wait but it's worth it.

I have been coming here quite often. I really like their okra stew. The service is impeccable. The hospitality is the way it should be, very family oriented. And of course the food , the best Mediterranean around. Always fresh , made to order. Took some friends the other night and they set up table just for us.

Maybe a little difficult to find. In where Thai peppers was, behind the 7-11. It is worth the trip.
A dining experience that you will return to asking for more.

This is my new favorite restaurant. Family owned and very friendly. Hummus is the best I've ever had. Highly recommend the lamb kebabs!

Found Ahlan through Google Maps recommendations and how high the reviews were made us need to try them. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The lentil soup was perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The Jido Burger was prepared exactly as requested and was juicy and full of flavor. The chicken tikka was well seasoned and the garlic sauce- chefs kiss!! The most perfectly cooked French fries I have ever eaten! Can't recommend this place highly enough- will definitely be back soon!!

It's newly opened. I was here once when it was a Thai restaurant. They have been open for two months. Inside looks bright and clean and fresh, should after only being open for 2 months. Interior decor looks much better than it's Thai days.

We were told to sit down at a back table. They are separating tables with reserved signs for tables between.
Waitress or owner said there's a price war on chicken and some prices are higher as a result.
Ordered a large Fattoush salad sans pita, shawarma plate with hummus and lentil soup and a chicken kabob with hummus and lentil soup.
They have square pita, not fresh oven pita here.

Their pickled veggies are good. Torchi-e are the pickled cabbage, along with pickled turnip, cucumbers, tomatoes and olives too.

There seems to be rice in the lentil. Not a big fan, filler I would rather not have in my lentil.

Asked for some garlic paste, not made with butter. Nicer

The chicken shawarma meat tastes decent, although it's a bit dry.

The chicken kabob meat is tender, juicy and flavorful too. It's good on it's own and even better with their garlic paste and hummus too.

Attentive and friendly service, good food, good portions and good prices too.

My wife and I order the Combo for 2 again this week. Everything was excellent and we enjoyed three meals from the order. Top quality food and friendly service at a fair price. We love this place.

They are offering takeout only now. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent Middle Eastern cuisine.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The service was excellent. Open to all of our questions and made great recommendations. The food was amazing! We look forward to returning!
