Delicious food, big portions and very nice and hospitable owner. Strongly recommended

David Roseman

This place is misnamed. It's not just take out, but the only seating is outside. Charming, welcoming, with good, freshly made food.

Arnold Dykstra

Had the fish and chips. Cooked perfect and very delicious. Super friendly staff.

Alex Puffyn

Friendliest folk in Pictou The Falafel Shawarma is an awesome sandwich, chicken is good too. Known as the shack out back, it's near the Ship Hector next to the RCMP. Take-Out, picnic tables, but why not walk 20 seconds to the seaside.

Bethany Visser

We had the falafel sandwich! The ingredients were fresh and delicious and the owners are great people! We also tried the pistachio backlava. It was so sweet and delicious! Can’t wait to go eat there again!

We were on a long road trip and craving some excellent fresh food and boy did this place deliver. The expression on this gentleman's face matches my thoughts. The Falafel was well served and one of the best I've had and the Fish and Chips set the new standard for us.

Sandy Best

Alejandro

Delicious shawarma plate

Eric Ouellette

Amazing falafel, friendly service and very reasonable prices. Located behind Stone Soup Café in Pictou.

Mark Williams

This is a pleasant spot to enjoy Syrian food. I ordered takeout dinner for the family. I really enjoyed the chicken shawarma, hummus, tabuleh, and baklava. The shish kebab plate really needed a sauce with it and a little extra olive oil as the meat and rice were dry (but flavourful). The salad either was not dressed or did not have enough so I needed to add lemon juice and oil myself. Overall I enjoyed my food here and will be back! The person cooking the food for me was also very friendly

M H

Great place to check out for fresh falafels! Very friendly as well.

Rob Beaton

Good food, friendly service

Amy Kovich

The best, absolute best fish and chips! Batter is crispy, fries tasty and well done. Worth the drive!!

Hollie Howlett

Had a great experience here! The food was delicious and they warmed the pita over the food as it cooked, the pita absorbed some of the flavours. The hot sauce was tasty without being too spicy. Will definitely come back again!

Chris G

Nice little eatery on the docks at the Pictou waterfront.

Dave Roberts

Great tasting food. Very reasonable price.

Sonia K

Most delicious food and an amazing friendly family, I even got a "pen tattoo" of my name in Arabic ???? Took care of me with gluten & dairy allergy - had a delicious salad, fries & falafel. Hubby had a really tasty chicken shawarma wrap ????????????

Fakhruddin Mahbub ul Islam

I had the chicken shawarma from here, and those were great! They serve halal food here. Hope it will be extended in New Glasgow too.

Khadija Bounekhla

My husband and I found this place while walking along the water, we decided to try it and we were so pleased with our experience! The owner was extremely warm and welcoming and the Syrian food was simply delicious and very authentic. I highly recommend eating here and supporting their business. Thank you to the owner for showing us so much warmth and kindness

Tarek Emara

Excellent food and the owner is super nice and generous too! My wife and I visited for the first time in our way back from Cape Breton and saw this authentic Syrian place we stopped there for a late lunch and the view was stunning and the food made it even better. We had the falafel sandwiches that were very flavourful (he added two extra on the side for us to try without bread) and filling and finished it up with the baklava! The baklava was very authentic and topped with honey! He gave us an extra which was nice! Thank you for the great experience. Tarek

Imtiaz Gul

The Best Arabic Shawarma we ate today. Tasty, big in size, yummy rice, green salad in one box with very reasonable price. Will go there again with my kids. The shining star kid sitting on the counter also helped me how to book a trip with a boat company. The lady who prepared the food was also so kind and made everything fresh.

Jared Baker

The internet said Alladin was the real deal and we are inclined to agree. The shawarma and lunch specials are very good! The garlic and spice are toned down for the audience, but this is very good hot day, cold day, or everyday food. Well worth a stop - why not check it out yourself?

Radjaa Berber

Great place to have authentic Syrian food. My boyfriend and I loved every bite of our Chicken Shawarma, Falafel sandwich, and kebab. The owner is a very nice lady that welcomes customers as if they were her personal guests. We also loved the sea bay view from our table. You get what you pay for and more!!

Todd Madore

Amazing Schwarma!

Andrew Arbuckle

Delicious meal and friendly service! We will definitely be back!

Brittany Ross

We stopped by on our way back to the PEI ferry! What an absolute treat. The shawarma and baclava were delicious. The whole family showed up and we got to meet the owner's lovely wife and children. I can't recommend this stop enough!

Arikface yeet

Delicious and flavourful food. Very friendly service. My family enjoyed very much.

Wonderful family-run restaurant with Syrian and Canadian food on Pictou waterfront. Chicken shwarama is always a hit but you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Shady seating area is nice too.

We had a great experience at this restaurant. Very tasty meals, very kind and and friendly owner, great quality of food with so reasonable prices. We are happy that we took our dinner at this place and recommend it. We took shishkebab and fish & chips and they were both delicious!

We stopped in on a trip home from Cape Breton based on the reviews here and were not disappointed! The friendliest service and incredibly delicious food. We had the Chicken Shawarma and Falafel and both were amazingly good. The prices were unreal for the quality of the food. Highly, highly recommend this spot!

Sarah Glatz

Delicious find! WALK THROUGH THE HALLWAY PAST STONE SOUP AND OUT THE BACK DOOR. We were delighted when we finally found it! We had chicken shawarma dinner. It came with rice, a small salad, and some hot sauce. $12 CAD cash only. Well worth it! The service was quick, super friendly, and very interesting. Baclava was wonderful too, not very sweet. Just right.

Nic Neuman

Delicious. Very friendly service and tasty food. Highly recommend.

Brenda Turple

My daughter and I love this place! Everything is fresh and delicious! The tabouli is to die for! My daughters favorite is the chicken shwarma wrap, I had the falafel wrap. The garlic sauce and hummus are a delightful treat to the taste buds.

Selena Maxwell

Great, well priced food with friendly service. A nice place to sit and watch the harbour as you eat.

Yash D Srivastava

Been here a couple of times. Sheesh Kebab (beef) cooked on skewer served with either rice and/or Rotis/bread with hot sauce and fresh salad is really good. Babaganoush turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Thank you team

Homemade falafels - some of the best I've had. Definitely not box falafels or dry. Love the rice and sauces. Cute family.

Wonderful food. The chicken was excellent. I loved the spices in the rice. Excellent hospitality, we were treated like family.

Ryan Taylor

The best shawarma in NS. If you're close, make the detour, amazing! Get the spice!

Karen Elizabeth

Great food! Great service! I've eaten shwarma in Ottawa and Toronto, and this meat was my favorite by far! Make sure to order hummus or baba ganoush separately because it doesn't come on the plate/platter. I can't wait to eat here again!

I had the falafel wrap at Alladin today on the Pictou waterfront. The wrap was excellent - very large size, delicious ingredients. Abdul was friendly and took the time to chat with us. Highly recommend this place.

Wilf Bean

This place is well worth searching out! The food is delicious - we had chicken shwerma, taboula and hummus. Delicious and a real bargain. Plus we had a great discussion with the owner.

Situated by the waterfront so wonderful view with your food. We got the Chicken Shawarma Plate and the Falafel plate which were both filing and delicious. The rice that comes with the platter is flavored perfectly. The staff were friendly and recommended options.

We love this place, we went twice in two days. The family is very friendly and enjoyable to talk to.

Docked at the Pictou wharf to grab a snack. It did not disappoint. Fish and chips were delicious. Others had the shawarma and really enjoyed that as well. It was a busy day but the food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time and was priced well. I will definitely eat there again!

robert j

Great falafel better than rays in halifax

Nadine Carmichael

We went to visit Alladin on a Saturday. We were pleasantly greeted by the friendly owner. We placed our order and sat at the outdoor seating. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate, hummus, Baba ganoush, and tabbouleh. Best tabbouleh I have ever eaten. The chicken shawarma wrap and hummus was also yummy. Lovely service by the owners (and their cute little girl). We will definitely return.

Kelly Goodall

The food is amazing and so are the prices. Looking forward to trying the whole menu.

Alex Harper

Best shawarma in Nova Scotia. I've had shawarma all over the maritimes and honestly I can say this is the best. The bread, gorgeous, chicken tender and perfectly seasoned, vegetables crisp and fresh. Not much is worth stopping for these days in pictou but if you're in the area I would recommend stopping for a meal here.

Karla Kenny

Had an impromptu stop in Pictou and so glad we did because we found this little spot. Friendly smiling service and delicious food. You won't be disappointed! (It is cash only but there is an RBC bank on the other side of the lot!)

Jennifer Gunton

The food and service were amazing.

Julia Spence

Delicious and fresh authentic Syrian food! We had the chicken shwarama and falafel - both were amazing and the falafel was the best I've ever had! The couple that runs the restaurant is friendly and fun to chat with. Very kid friendly! We will be back.

Great food and amazing hospitality! It was so nice meeting the owners and the lunch was so delicious and filling! Will definitely be back to pictou to stop by there again.

Excellent food excellent people. The shawarma chicken and falafel are perfect! It was a pleasant surprise to find them in Pictou.

Alex Keir

After fishing 5 of us stopped in for supper. Fresh food takes time to prepare and is well worth the wait! Yum!!

The Haylocks

This restaurant was recommended to us. We ordered the chicken shawarma and some falafel with hummus. The falafel and hummus were very good, but the chicken shawarma was lacking in chicken. Seemed very disorganized, as the lady was trying to deal with her young children at the same time.

Rajiv Dighe

This was best chicken shawarma I have had in a long time. Owner was very helpful and made it exactly to our liking and took my wife's diet restrictions into account while making our food. Will definitely eat here next time we are in the area

Dawn Eckert

Excellent food. Very nutritious, filled with wonderful flavor and very filling. Highly recommend!

Kyla Mckenna

Amazing delicious food! I had the chicken shawerma wrap and it was so good and very filling!! Also the falafel is wonderful too! Definitely would recommend this place to everyone, they also have fish and chips
