Now it's official: Aladdin's Cafe is moving to Underground Station in July.

You already know that Aladdin's Cafe offers the finest Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine in town, and now the other secret's out.

Great news, Aladdin's friends, fans, and customers. Aladdin's will be moving to a brand new location in July. The beautiful Underground Station will be our new home.

An expanded menu, more choices, the best food around, and a beautiful atmosphere will be in store for you at our new home.

We greatly appreciate everyone's support and encouragements for the past 3 years, and it will only get better at the Underground Station.

The build-out continues, leaving us six weeks to ponder exactly what sort of "expanded menu" choices Mike and crew are contemplating.

On a related note, daddy simply adores chicken sumac ...

Aladdin's Cafe has expanded; more space to enjoy yummy baba ghanoush.

The last time I dined at Aladdin's Cafe, the wall was still intact. Now it's gone. Verily, Aladdin's is one of the unsung gems of downtown New Albany, located just a couple doors down from Mike Smith Firestone on Market Street.

Gyros, Shawarma and Tabbouleh in New Albany? Yes, and Turkish coffee, too.

I haven't yet had the chance to have coffee or a sandwich, but check out Aladdin Cafe at 111 W. Market. It's two doors down from the Firestone.
