"I'm hesitant of writing reviews for places where I have consistently been unable to see a full crowd. However, I will vouch for this place for its food and service. The grape leaves are always fresh, as is the hummus, in which you can always taste the love (i.e., garlic). Bread is slightly crispy and comes warm, and the meat dishes really take the care for..."

"Definitely recommend this place. There are plenty of choices (even for vegetarians)! My favorite is the yuro (?) and the beef kabob. I would get their roasted meat vs. the ones that are sitting out at the counter. Even the people who worked there recommended the roasted meat over prepared over counter meat. However, you do have to wait another 5-10 minu..." Read more

"Upon our first visit to Aladdin, little did we know that we were in for the most perplexing dining situation of our lives. We walked in from the back entrance, so we were kind of thrown off from the start but soon realized that we had to start at the back of the line. I'm the kind of person that likes to scope out the buffet before making my decision, but as..." Read more

"After moving apartments in the area, we went for a while without veggies...and that's when I rediscovered this place. We really liked just getting one three veggie meal to share between the two of us. Our standard meat ended up being their spinach meatballs, to go with a salad and a spinach puff pastry and something else. I won't say its great eats, but i..." Read more

"Aladdin is a buffet style med cafe right on the corner of Westheimer. I've driven past it dozens upon dozens of times, but only recently stopped in for the first time. When I realized it was BYO I came back again with a bottle to enjoy the nice weather. I feel like most of the Med places in Houston are the same. So here are the highlights: --Really good pi..."

"This place is a killer deal. I split a lamb platter with someone, and I'm glad I did. It was a massive amount of food, you get to pick 3 sides from a huge array of them. There were multiple salads, types of hummus, and loads of other goodies. Overall this place is a gem, and the people are very nice. The oven baked pita bread is fantastic and worth a trip u..."

"The pita was hot and fresh, and the lamb was grilled perfectly. The servings were huge! You could probably split a meal and be perfectly satisfied. Its very inexpensive as well. A great place when you have the taste for a little Mediterranean."

"I've really only gotten one thing here: the beef shawarma. This is basically my go to place for a shawarma/gyro, as I do not want to deal with the mad house that is Niko Nikos down the street. This sandwich never does me wrong. Always satisfying and I know what I am getting. I usually always get the cucumber salad, but for some reason it's not as good as it..." Read more

"This place is awesome! I went for dinner. The bread is cooked fresh every minute (crispy and chewy). The sides I had were awesome; spicy hummus was actually spicy! Cauliflower was good, and the spinach salad was nicely dressed. The lamb was cooked to order and came out med well, it was tasty and well seasoned. Probably could be 3 portions worth for a..."

"I was impressed by the fresh-baked pita bread here, and the amount of attention to decor, which is very cool. For the prices, I'd have preferred table service, but hey, whatever they are doing is working, because this place is great. I didn't try any of the meat dishes because so many of the veggie dishes looked appealing. We both got 4-item veggie combos..." Read more

"Great mediterranean food! Fun/albeit hectic cafeteria style restaurant, order your dips/salads and meats from the window then find your own seat. It's BYOB, which is always a plus. Great for a quick meal and absolutely delicious. Get the lamb kebab if possible. Regular hummus, babaghanoush and fattoush salads are great sides, and the stone-oven baked pita ar..." Read more

"Their food is a good expression of various Mediterranean dishes laid out cafeteria style. A newcomer could possibly have a hard time knowing what was what but on my first visit I just made sure to ask people to my left and right. Also,I picked my server's brain having them walk me through what the green stuff was and what went best with that thing. You'll f..." Read more

"Detroit doesn't have a lot left going for it. But it does have the biggest Arab and Muslim population in the United States. And that fact alone has ruined me. Arabic food in Detroit / Dearborn is above and beyond anywhere else. For me it was always two things -- the hummus and pita. In Detroit, the hummus is heavier in tahini making it creamier than most...." Read more

"I really like the food here! The ordering process can be a bit confusing the first time you come. You have to go up and ask them for what you want. I am not a big fan of hummus, but their spicy hummus is just amazing! I always get the sharwarma (sp?) with a side of their potatoes or this carrot and peas soup thing. The sharwarma is a bit on the small side, b..." Read more
