My second time at Aleppo's and it did not disappoint. All the dips and apps were delicious and my lamb dish came out perfectly falling off the bone. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the myriad of dishes that were ordered. The fish does take a couple extra minutes so put that in during the apps if you are interested. The service was friendly and helpful rotating around the different tables when needed. There were a couple other large parties at the same time along with usual smaller diners but still was easy enough to have a nice conversation.
