Taza: A Lebanese Grill keeps the tradition that made Aladdin's such a success
The magic behind the successful Cleveland Aladdin restaurants is hard work: Fresh, healthy food and the ability to serve traditional Middle Eastern foods in a way that is appealing and innovative.
When the owners of Aladdin decided to branch out, they chose “fresh” (taza in Lebanese) as the namesake for their newest restaurant.
Located in Eton, Taza fills a culinary niche left empty by the higher-priced steakhouses and B Spot burgers nearby.
This fun and casual eatery has something for everyone. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and can be ordered grilled or as an entrée. Vegetarian, chicken, lamb, fish and beef all have their places on the menu. Dinner is available all day as either a Shish grill or Taza entrée, with larger portions and a slightly different selection than lunch options.
The aroma of fresh wood oven-baked pita bread wafts through the dining room and (weather permitting) outdoor patio. It mingles with people laughing and talking over exotic-sounding dishes such as Samakeh Harra (baked Cod), Shwarma (grilled lamb and beef), and Mujadara (steamed lentils, rice and salata). Price range from $8-19, with specials Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Open Monday-Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Located in Eton Square, 28602 Chagrin Blvd., Woodmere.
