Aladdin Cafe in Kansas City

*Casie Here*

Vernon would have gone back to Cafe Gratitude for dinner tonight if I would have said yes, but I thought we should try something new and we are going their again tomorrow anyway. Looking back we probably should have, because our evening meal was just ok. 

We tried Aladdin Cafe it's Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. Website HERE

We thought this was funny on the menu. Our Dog Dip! We even spell her name the same way! 

 Aladdin’s Hummus. A blend of chickpeas, sesame seed, tahini, lemon and garlic garnished with sumac, parsley and hot sauce. Just fair. We like my hummus better! Their pita bread was really good though.

Fun design.

 Aladdin Lentil Soup. Red lentils, carrots and corn seasoned with saffron curry, cumin and lemon. It was YUMMY! 

 Cute tea cups.

 Vernon got the savory salad with garlic and lemon dressing. It was good. Plain, but refreshing.

 I got the Tabouli Salad to see how it compared to mine at home. It had finely chopped parsley and tomatoes mixed with cracked wheat, olive oil, lemon juice and herbs. It was good. Nothing fabulous, but good.

 I got the Koshary. A dish of Egyptian rice, lentils, cumin and Mediterranean herbs topped with sautéed onion and cucumber yogurt. I really liked it. The onions were sauteed perfectly. The sauce on the far right was my favorite. 

 Vernon got Jasmines Vegetarian Combo with hummus, falafel patties, baba ghanouj, stuffed grape leaves, genie dip, krass pastry, feta cheese and calamata olives. It was fine, but mainly just an appetizer platter.
