Aladdin’s Eatery – Brier Creek

Aladdin’s Eatery at Brier Creek serves Lebanese-American food on Brier Creek Parkway in northwest Raleigh. The menu runs from protein-packed plates to vegetarian dishes, so a table with mixed eating habits can order without negotiating. Online ordering and catering are both available.

Fady Chamoun came to the United States from Lebanon in 1972 wanting to open a restaurant built on healthy Lebanese food. He and his wife Sally opened the first Aladdin’s in Lakewood, Ohio in 1994, and a second followed in Cleveland Heights.
