"Aladdins, This is the kind of place where you feel like the world just stops for a moment and lets you just reminisce on how amazing it is to be alive. You walk in and you notice that Aladdins is a place meant to transport you into a small mediterranean outdoor cafe, as told by the artwork on the wall. You instantly seek refuge in the buffet line where a..." 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

"Amaaazing food!!! And such great customer service! Ali is so sweet, including the staff. My husband & I come here, & every single time, I can tell that Ali and his staff truly care for their customers. They're always willing to help and offer suggestions. I recommend the eggplant topped with pesto, the spinach & feta pocket, dolmades, and red snapper. The b..." Read more

"YUM YUM YUM! Great BYOB place for lunch or dinner. Parking may be an issue, but they have acquired parking towards the back. Do yourself a favor and AVOID Little Bigs Next door. They suck, but Aladdin is delicious and customer service is excellent. Humus + Cucumber salad + Fish ++ cauliflower ++ lamb chicken, seriously...everything is so good."

"I could pretty much wax poetic about Aladdin for longer than any of you have the patience to read. Aladdin, (with its primo location yet unassuming signage) gets overlooked by far too many I think. The staff is always friendly and they're quick to give you a sample of their ever-changing menu-I've been to Aladdin more times than I can even count and I can..." Read more

"LOVE LOVE LOVE! I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food but I tend to be picky with my restaurants and hadn't found the perfect place in Houston... but I think I've found it- Aladdin, there's nothing I'd wanna change about this place! For starters, the pita.. they serve it fresh while it's hot, and are constantly making it.. so you're guaranteed to get a fres..." Read more

"Holy mother of all that is delicious. First off, the owner here is super sweet. He comes into Fat Bao often and is always courteous. I had to try his food and am in love/food coma right now. Amazing amazing amazing chicken shwarma, fresh pita, and veggies galore! Service is great, food is great, and I've a soft spot for the music. I'm addicted."

"this is my favorite restaurant in Houston. My girlfriend and i eat here at least once a week. Portions are huge and it is sort of a cafeteria serving style which makes splitting a meal here easy. The service here is always great. Lots of friendly employees here that are always quick to help explain all of the unusual items they're serving up. Usually, it is..." Read more

"OMG! We had lunch at this place yesterday, it was DELICIOUS!!! The portion sizes are generous, the pita bread is hot, fresh and light and I had the chicken curry - which for me is a dangerous thing to do cause I'm fussy about my curries, but sweet Lord above this was the best chicken curry I've had since I moved to Houston 3.5 years ago!!!! Hubby had the..." 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

"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

"I did not enjoy Aladdin's. The whole restaurant was packed the night i went...but the only availible tables were all dirty. The food sat out and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while, which is very unappealing. I got a chicken shawarma, and was very displeased. The shawarma was soggy from the "sauce" they had on their chicken...which is odd for me..." 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."
