"Everything here is very fresh, BBQ corn and the baba ghanough are stand outs for me. Gigantic portions and BYOB. You can't beat this place! I'm not sure of the gentleman's name that normally helps my wife and I but he is awesome and I applaud him!"

"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."

"Great food for a cheap price! Oh my, we left stuffed! I can sorta compare the taste to Fadi's but a lot less expensive. Not as nice inside but the neighborhood is great. Will definitely bring my hubby here."

"Awesome!! Food was fantastic. My husband and I have been back twice in 2 weeks b/c we had such a great experience. The gentleman behind the counter was very kind, and helpful in explaining the different options of food. Its cafeteria style which concerned me at first but everything is so fresh and the display of the food is done so well, you just want to..." Read more

"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

"I agree completely with Gene L. I'm never going over to Niko Niko's again (except to use free coupons!). This place is a better deal and has better food and less crowds and faster and better service and smells better. I've gotten the Ultimate Shwarma 3x in the past week. The sides I've tried have all been good. The breaded mashed potatoes are unique and re..." Read more

"Delicious! Great pita bread, spicy hummus, and freshly made juices. Selected the 4 vegetarian sides for $9.99 but couldn't even finish it. Took a doggie bag home. Definitely recommend if you're looking to eat Mediterranean cuisine."

"I'm obsessed with this place. Never thought I'd be with a buffet-style restaurant - Aladdin's is particularly worthy of respect because despite everything being out on a buffet, it still tastes great. Everything I've tried here is AMAZING. I have to give a shout-out in particular to the lamb shank platter though. The fall-off-the-bone meat and the delicious..." Read more

"Oh Aladdin, take me away on a magic carpet ride. It is indeed a whole new world. Why haven't I ever been here? Everything was amazing. The best pita. The best mashed potato ball. The best hummus (spicy!!). Serious, serious good eats. The portions were huge. My friend got the vegan sampler, and there was enough food for at least 3 people. She got..." Read more

"Packed dining room, four big groups of 10+ taking up all the tables and lingering around even though they were finished with their meal, and all other seats taken. Manager and his staff did great job helping clear a table for us, well done! Great food too! Will be back soon, keep up the good work."

"See Nick K.'s review. I live right around the corner. Unfortunately for me, I am a student who doesn't work very much which equates to "rarely" going out to eat. Aladdin's has many choices of salads and warm dishes. It is unbelievable! If you live in the 610 or 10 minutes outside of Montrose, come here in the next week. It's that good. I ordered the be..."

"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..."

"This place is WAY better than Nikko Nikko's, and their prices are lower. They give you huge servings of delicious food. I usually get 2 or 3 meals from it."

"Where do I begin? At the great food, enormous spread, huge proportions, family hospitality, or awesome price? Having visited the Mediterranean Islands this past summer, I've experienced authentic Mediterranean cuisine, and let me tell ya, Aladdin's is authentic! So far, I've had their chicken kabobs, chicken schwarma, spicy hummus, eggplant pesto, squash..." Read more

"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

"Ali, Ali, Ali.......Where do I begin? As a Chicago Restaurateur, I must say that I am disappointed in myself for breaking my number 1 cardinal rule when I am in a new city - I NEVER eat at the same restaurant more than once, because I do not know the lay of the land and there are so many restaurants to explore. Eventually, I identify my favorites and begin..." Read more

"I gave this place 5 stars because the food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and you definitely get your money's worth. You can pick an entree and 3 sides for about $11 (depending on the entree) and it is a lot of food. They let you sample any of the sides before you pick them, and the staff is very helpful when you ask questions or for their suggest..." Read more

"My husband and I love Aladdin's we are here on average once a week. There is always a different variety of meats and veggies to choose from but most importantly everything is always fresh and so good! I always have to have the fried cauliflower, Lebanese mashed potato and shish tawook (chicken kabab)! (This place beats Fadis by a mile when it comes to authe..." 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

"I have been frequenting Aladdin's for over half a decade, and it's always a pleasure to enjoy fresh food prepared by Ali and his ever-friendly staff. It is my favorite place to find "Mediterranean" cuisine in Houston, and there's a reason that Lebanese folks are known for being stellar cooks throughout the world. Want a shawarma or kebab? Aladdin's are..." Read more
