"The Chicken Shawarma was a little too dry but the chicken kabob was yummy! Their mashed potato ball and spinach salad was delicious, loved the freshly baked pita bread!"

"I had a lovely dinner here. This place is Fadi style, meaning you get a plate and they serve you portions of whatever sides you like. The meat comes to your table freshly prepared to order. I tried the beef and the chicken kabobs, along with roasted veggies and lemon garlic potatoes. I also got a hummus platter which had a generous serving of 4 different ki..." Read more

"Ok Houston Yelpers, so far you are 0 for 2 on Mediterranean restaurants for me. The food here is very astringent. Everything I had was just very sour and acidic. It was overpowering to me. Aladdin does manage to have incredible bread though. They bake it inside the restaurant and it does make a huge difference. This place is also really cheap. I'm going..." Read more

"This place I will miss most when I leave Houston in a couple of weeks. Will have to come back here on every trip to Houston. It's cafeteria style, which was off putting at first but the deliciousness of the food overcame that. You start the line with a tray and utensils, they give you a couple loaves of the best pita bread I've ever had. You then choose..." Read more

"The food is classic mediterranean, but nothing special. The location is very central, right off Montrose and they do have their own parking lot, but it can get full. The food is served cafeteria style, so ask for help when ordering if you've never been before. They have specials with a meat and three sides that's affordable. Also they offer free pita chips..."

"Quality lebanese food. Great bread, gyro was decent but not as flavorful as I like. I got the fattoush, baba ganouj, and zucchini and squash. The fattoush was perfect, the baba ghanouj was a solid 4/5 and the zucchini and squash had that one flavor that I've found in Medittermiddleeastern cuisine that I do not enjoy. It was a 3/5 experience but I fully recog..." Read more

"Went there with my family and the ordering process is very confusing as there as is a very vague menu on the wall. It's cafeteria style...you tell them what you want without having an idea what the total price is. The food was average and I'm from the middle east and I know this kind of food well. The chicken shawarma was good but nothing special. Go to Phoe..." Read more

"Went here for Mother's Day, and it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The owner was so patient in explaining the side dishes to us, and recommended a great meal for our two young children to share. My son made a small mess with the salt shaker, and the owner made sure to..." Read more

"Authentic and delicious food I live and work in the montrose Area so i know how hard to find something not fast food to eat so I end up going to Aladdin on the corner of Westheimer and Montrose. I Really experienced the food has been consistent, flavorful and yummy! Have tried the falafel sandwich and the shwarma sandwich, both delicious in their own right..." Read more

"Finally a spicy curry within walking distance. I went to Aladdin this evening planning on what always is a great dinner. As I reviewed the menu options I saw beef curry but did not think much of this as the chicken curry I had last time was good, but far from the spice kick I typically expect, at say a Red Lion. In my brief discussion with the owner he wa..." Read more

"A feast of the Greco Roman gods. Mounded platters of the freshest, tastiest stews, veggies and tender meats and served Chipotle-style. If Chipotle had the generosity of a Greek yia-yia and the hipster swagger of your cool older brother. Not only do you get to munch crispy pita chips for free to whet your already bit-chomping appetite, but you also are dole..." Read more

"Damn! I don't have any more groceries, but I'm too lazy to go since I just finished working out and it's already 8:30pm. Well have no fear... Aladdin provides you with a healthy and economical solution. Yes, a meal here with one of those fantastic strawberry juices will cost about $16. But, don't think of it as one meal... think of it as two! The portions h..." Read more

"Y'all are crazy. I came in on Friday night hankering for some legit Mediterranean food... not bland chickpea salad or chicken meatballs with a terrible mouthfeel (they were so spongy and soft they felt really fatty and artificial) covered in a greasy buttery/creamy sauce. I felt kind of dirty eating them, not gonna lie... Everybody's raving about the spic..." Read more

"Aladdin has the best veggie options! I love a variety of foods, so the buffet style setup is perfect! If you're feeling like eating light, or a hearty comforting meal, you can have the best of both worlds here! Great, friendly staff as well, and very clean."

"Don't let the exterior fool you. Appearances can be deceiving. This place has some GREAT food. A build your own meal set up, a casual atmosphere and BYOB, this is a great place to grab a bite with friends if you're looking to change up your culinary routine. The process of ordering was slightly intimidating. So many choices without much explanation. It..." Read more

"Definitely a great place to eat! Great customer service! The main server greeted us, took the time to explain all of wonderful menu items, and gave us test tries of items we were unsure about. The portions were generous, and everything on the plate was outstandly delicious. We'll definitely be coming back."

"One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've ever been to! Some people may not like how all the sides are out in the open, but you get to pick what looks good to you, rather than just sorting through a bunch of descriptions. I always get the spicy hummus, and then vary the vegetables. I've also tried a few of the meats (Lamb shank is probably my favorite -..." Read more

"I went here with a group of people. The food was very good. The atmosphere is much like Fadi's Mediterranean Grill, but they have different foods. The food was fresh and delicious. Only complaint would be the parking. It does get busy in that area."

"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..."

"Wow! This place is awesome! I will undoubtedly be visiting again! My three family members were visiting from out of town and we had all worked up an appetite from scurrying around the city.

"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

I also tried the seasoned potatoes, grilled vegetables, pasta and had some fresh made papaya pineapple strawberry juice. My favorite side dish had to be the mashed potato ball loved the chee..."
