"I love Aladdins. They're a cafeteria style Mediterranean place with the best pita bread I've ever eaten and generous portions. I can usually eat one "meal" that I get here for two or three meals. Some of my favorites are: -the hummus with caramelized onions-super fresh and healthy tasting and goes great with the pita bread that they give you -the pesto e..." Read more

"I love middle eastern but this is meh. Mostly dry & lacking finesse. House of kabob is my favorite cheap middle eastern in Houston and it's a 3.5 on my scale. Houston does not have great middle eastern food unfortunately."

"Love Mediterranean food and Aladdin's. Their pitas are the best! Usually get the chicken shish kabobs and a couple sides. All of the salads are delicious. Only con is the parking situation and very small dining area."

"This is by far one of the best eateries I have been to while in the state of Texas. Everything was top notch. The presentation was excellent the food was excellent. Please note this is a cafeteria dining establishment. Of which type I have had no experience. However, I was surprised because it was excellent. There were fruit juices and sodas. I was very im..."

"I had high expectations after reading online reviews. I was sorely disappointed. The food was good - by no means great - but because I expected so much, I was disappointed. Had I gone in with lower expectations, I would have enjoyed the food more."

"First let me say that I walked in and it was VERY crowded. But I can't say that was a bad thing because the staff and food was amazing from beginning to end. First off, Michael at the bread and hummus station was extremely friendly and outgoing. I ended up having the caramelized onion hummus with the pita bread. The bread was very warm and soft and the hummu..." Read more

"Be still, my stomach. Probably my favorite place in town for consistently healthy, delicious food. Brick-fired pitas and tons of veggie sides roasted to perfection."

"Possibly best Mediterranean I've had in years. Grilled chicken kebab was the best I've ever had in my life. It was served with a white creamy substance, that certainly was not cream. I have no idea what it was but it tasted fantastic. The spinach hummus was the best hummus I've ever had. Bread is ultra fresh. Service is fast and friendly, and the dining room..." Read more

"This is my favorite restaurant in Houston! It cost about $12 for a meal of 1 meat and 3 sides, and it comes with delicious bread. For the sides you can pick anything from hummus, to delicious salads, to fried veggies and rice. My favorite meat here is their lamb. I have had it as a stew and as spicy meatballs and have not been disappointed. The portions are..." Read more

"If I lived in Houston, I would be a regular. This place was so good. The staff was friendly. The food was amazing. I halved my sides, which seems to be a thing, so I could sample multiple things. So good."

"Parking is SUCH a hassle if you're not used to driving in the area and not too great at reading maps. I wouldn't dare park a large car next to the restaurant because the lot is CRAMPED. You would be stuck in a series of backing off a tiny bit, moving forward a tiny bit, and so on until you get out. I decided to park in the extra lot but it did take me awhile..." Read more

"Aladdin is a great place for reasonably priced Mediterranean food. I went for dinner on a Saturday around 6 and was pleasantly surprised by how many tables were open. I wasn't sure how to order, but a friendly employee walked me through choosing what I wanted. I absolutely loved the 2 sides (eggplant and a mashed potato ball) I ordered but the steak kabob wa..."

"Really very very good! My go to for mediterranean food!! I don't eat meat so I always get falafel and its way better than most. I love the potato side as well as the eggplant side. Many sides to choose from and if you are vegetarian you will still have many options. The pita is delish! Its a little on the pricey side but the portion is huge so if you see it..." Read more

"My "go to" spot for Mediterranean food on this side of town. I usually get the veggie plate and there's an overwhelming amount of sides to choose from. My staples are the baba ganoush, hummus, roasted cauliflower, and toubleh. So delicious!!!"

"This is a fun n place to come try Mediterranean food, especially if you're not use to it as they have lots and lots of options. I loved the caramelized onion hummus and the chicken kebob. Plus the staff is super nice and will help you figure things out."

"This place is exceptional! Cafeteria style with no frills except fresh, out of this world food. I've lived in Montrose a few years but only recently discovered this gem. Parking can be annoying since you have to park a few blocks away but it's nice that they have a designated parking lot. I had the lamb kebab with 3 sides, spinach hummus, tabouli, and spin..."

"One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in houston and yes, beats Fadis by far! Big portions, great quality veggies and meat.... and ALWAYS fresh! The owner is super friendly and nice! He remembers his regular customers also and greets you with the biggest smile. Every time we go, he is always there even to serve you personally. Gotta love a place where th..." Read more

"If it was possible, I would give 3.5 stars. I think that, due to the great reviews, I went in with too high expectations. Some food items were really good, and others just meh. But overall I would be opposed to coming back- but I wouldn't rush to either. My husband and I shared our plates so we could try many things. He got the chicken kabob (good), onion..." Read more

"Great vegetarian options. The buffet style format can be confusing. The downside with it is you don't know you're missing further down the aisle when you select sides if you don't walk through beforehand. Flavor-wise the sides can be hit or miss. Some are more bland than others. You can get a veggie plate for $10 which comes with 4 sides or a meat plate th..." Read more

"Let me just say that my expectations for Mediterranean food is very, very high. I have had some of the best in Dearborn, Michigan. So it is really, really hard to think outside of what I am so accustomed. I really wanted to try out Aladdin due to the positive reviews. You get to choose a meat item and it comes with 3 sides for $13. Sounds good, in theory. I..." Read more

"I love this place! For $13, you get a ton of food, which are all extremely flavorful and a majority of the dishes are healthy, vegan, or vegetarian! I really like their grilled vegetable salad and their falafel. You also get super soft pita served alongside your "meat" and sides. There are plenty of options so I'm determined to try something different every..." Read more

"A vegetarian's Mediterranean heaven. Also known as Aladdin. Other reviewers have touched on the great variety and large portions offered at this cafeteria style restaurant so I'll just share some of my favorite items. Don't be fooled by the size of pita bread--it is some of the softest around and is plenty to finish off a side of spicy hummus. The fried ok..." Read more

"Can't say enough about this place! The food is fresh and delicious! My only advice is to split a plate with someone. There's plenty for two!"
