"The people here are SUPER nice and make you feel really welcome. The food is tasty and the portions are pretty big so I'd recommend going here when you're really hungry. And the chicken kabob was SOOOOO tender and juicy. This is my new mediterranean spot."

"I eat here many times when I come down to Houston. They serve up large portions of food in a cafeteria style place. My wife and I share a plate which fills us both up. Pitta is baked fresh, and the spicy hummus is delicious. Make sure to try their baklava when checking out.. Parking here kinda sucks..."

"I've eaten here quite frequently and try as I might to find something negative or catty to include in my review, I've been stymied. Everything I've ever eaten here is fantastic. The hummus is the best I've had in this country and they bake their own pita bread fresh several times a day!! My favorite is the shredded beef and potato stew. Honestly, I could..." Read more

"this place is great. everything from the spicy hummus, to the tabbouleh, to the dolmas, to the lamb shanks, you name it, it's all fresh and delicious. i go there as often as i can and never get tired of it or get bored with the selections..and as an added bonus you can bring your own wine, doesn't hurt that it is at montrose and westheimer wither. if you'..."

"This is a really great late night grab a quick bite kinda place, but the location is really sketchy, so bring your mace for the walk in from the car. The food is really good, and I love that they have a vegan plate. Make sure you're really hungry if you order the vegan sampler though; it's a ton of food. The employees are also really friendly, but my frie..." Read more

"I love Mediterranean food, and Aladdin really surprised me in a good way! I have driven past this restaurant at the corner of Montrose and Westheimer dozens of times but happened upon dining here only recently. It is buffet style and well-priced for the quality of the food. If you have ever eaten at a Fadi's restaurant, this is similar, but on a smaller scal..." Read more

"Ive eaten here several times. I don't eat too much Mediterranean in general, but the veggies here are outstanding. The service is always friendly and the price is reasonable."

"I had lunch here today. The setup and decor is very much like Fadi's. I had the spicy hummus, roasted eggplant, and chicken shawarma. It's wasn't bad, but not great. I would go here again for lunch since it's close to downtown. The parking lot was not that great."

"I always forget how much I like this place until I revisit it. Dozens of options and all of it's good! Some people seem to dislike the "cafeteria style" of Aladdin's. The only thing I can see wrong with it is that it makes deciding what you want an almost impossible task! The pita bread is fresh and delicious. The Hummus is the best in town. The veggie..."

"I can't particularly hate this place... it's decent food.... Like Fadi's but not a chain. I don't like my Middle Eastern Food food served cafeteria style.... I don't like that some items seemed to have a heavy handed dose of vinegar (even the taziki sauce?) and the parking is horrid... I haven't seen that many holes in swiss cheese. It's solid but not imp..." Read more

"I've eaten in restaurants called Aladdin in a half-dozen states. All they had in common was the restaurant name and that they served middle eastern cuisine. This Aladdin is by far the best of the bunch. The buffet style is simple and tantalizing - everything looks amazing. You can have meat with two or three sides, but I prefer the lamb shank special f..." Read more

"I met a friend here - I have been ALL about Mediterranean food lately. VERY good....They have 30 sides and the meat was really yummy. What I like most is the fact that you walk through a line and pick out what you want. I got wayyyy too much food but took quite a bit home. Yum!"

"I've lived in Houston for awhile and always drove by this place and never gave it a chance, until recently....freaking awesome!!!! i heart this place! the eggplant veggie dish was yummy, the hummus, the pita bread, the chicken shwarma were amazing. Oh, and even the free water was tasty, c'mon??!!! I'm not much of a veggie person, but I would actually crave t..." Read more

"The concept of this place is pretty cool. You get an entree and the choice of one, two, or three sides - if you do the combo meal, which is the most popular. I got the entree and two sides. There is a great variety of salads, warm sides, and meats. You also get complimentary freshly made bread. Ahh yums! Bottom line: great deal, large fulfilling portions,..." Read more

"My first time ever going here, although I passed it all the time, was amazing! I did the $10.99 meat & three sides, it was almost too much food for me to eat! The hummus, tabouli and bread is all delicious! I had steak skewers and the flavors were amazing and the meat was so tender! I didn't know what to expect going in but this place is totally worth every..." Read more

"This is hands-down my favorite lunch spot, and I'm convinced that the chicken kebabs are the best in town. My friends order and enjoy everything on the menu, from the grape leaves and baba ganoush to the lamb and lentil salad, but I just can't stray away from my favorites: the aforementioned kebabs, the bright and fresh tabouli, and the cilantro potatoes. I..." Read more

"If you're a traditional Mediterranean food fan...Aladdin needs to be your goto place. Sure, Niko Niko down the street is always hopping, but head south for about 1 min...and pull into Aladdin. (It shares a parking lot with Little Bigs.) You basically start at the beginning "buffet type" of the line, and select your hummus, grape leaves, salads, etc, then..." Read more

"I've never had bad food at Aladdin and the service is great. It's easy to eat healthy which is crucial for me. I'm typically getting the baba ghhannouj, cucumber salad, eggplant salad and a protein (usually fish or chicken although I've had everything). Ali is a really cool guy (owner) and always gives me extra when he personally serves me. He even gave my..." Read more

"I wanted something different for my wife and I's weekly datenight. I was referred here and we were quite impressed. The price for the lambshank dinner we ordered was a little steep and the lamb had alot of fat on it. May try this place again in the near future."

"Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food--order at the counter. Although the portions are not huge, they are extremely filling, and very good. Aladdin seems to take extra pride in its meet dishes, making these the real gold of the menu (along with the hummus!). The falafel was not great, but you absolutely must try the juices--they are a little expensive, bu..." Read more

"Nice bread, hummus is OK, meat is pretty greasy, not too great flavor. The veggies are pretty greasy too. Nice staff. Not the worst, not my favorite"

"Culling from the other reviewers, Aladdin offers a-ok Mediterranean cuisine, considering it has competition from Niko-Niko's, One's A Meal, and Fadi's, all within walking distance of each other. As Daniel H. mentions, it is set up like the Luby's of Middle Eastern food. You grab a cafeteria tray, your utensils, and a bread basket for them to fill (usuall..." Read more

"I heard good things about it and wanted to try it for myself and was totally impressed.The food was great! The spicy hummus and fresh pita bread was the best. This was my first time so I got traditional food because i figured it they get the simply stuff right (gyro, hummus, grape leaves) then I can move on to the big stuff. I will definetly be a regular h..." Read more
