Can't wait for the spring so that I can drive there in 20mins rather than an hour to try it out lol.

Is there some sort of actual significance to the name Aladdin? Or are they just capitalizing off of Disney?

There's a big chain of restaurants called Aladdin's Eatery, and another locally owned Aladdin's Natural Eatery in Rochester, NY. It's a common name for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants.

Only makes me wonder even more if there’s an actual cultural reason for that or if they are all just like “ehh these amaeicans know that Aladdin is middle eastern so we’ll call it Aladdin’s”
