"Amazing pita, big portions, and great customer service. When the owner sees me, he smiles and starts prepping my chicken shawarma sandwich. They have great hummus, fresh squeezed juice, salads, pastas, and sides as well, and is great for vegetarians, too! I'd go here over La Fendee any day. 4/5 stars because parking isn't great."

"I love coming here for their veggie plate! I always get the tabouli, roasted potatoes, and fried cauliflower. The red snapper and lamb shank are pretty good too. I can eat mounds of those baked pita chips up in the front. It's very laid back here. I live right down the street, so I love being able to roll in wearing shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops. Las..."

"Definitely my type of place: endless selections of salads, spreads and meats all for a reasonable price! AMAZING spread of food that you can SEE and quick service. Not very formal, but very delicious. LOVE this place."

"I've moved to another part of town, so Aladdin isn't on my drive home anymore, but I still try to make it over here at least once a month. I find this place to be pretty consistent on quality of food - tasty sides, great bread, decent entrees. The menu has expanded a bit since Aladdin was on my weekly or semiweekly rotation. The new spicy hummus and the sp..." Read more

"I love to try new Mediterranean places whenever I can. This is one of the best in Houston, and definitely a great price for the amount of food that you get. I had the falafel plate, and hands down these are some of the best falafels in Houston. They aren't made until you order them so they are fresh and moist when they come to the table. Along with the..." Read more

"I've been to several Mediterranean restaurants, and Aladdin's is probably the most inviting place my girlfriend and I have been to yet. The food is excellent and the Moroccan tea is probably the best tea I've ever had in an eatery ever. The portions are generous and the staff was an absolute joy."

"It's been a while my friend... I used to frequent Aladdin because it was close to school. I went last night after a long time and it's still pretty good. Warm, yummy pita bread with hummus and babaganoush, and now they added spicy hummus (although I am more of a traditionalist) Prices are ok, still a bit on the high side but portions are huge! There are..." Read more

"First of all, do not let the high priced location fool you. That's right...don't be afraid to try this place. It is not high-falutent nor is it a dingy mom and pop joint (although those are fun too). This little restaurant has plenty to offer you and is priced reasonably. They give you a lot of food for the money...you would spend more at a fast food res..." Read more

"Tonight I ate here for the first time. The people were friendly and very nice. The food tasted good. Would have tasted much better had it been hot though. I don't know if it's because the buffect style setting is the reason. I hope it's not the same when I try again, which I will do."

"I had no idea what a lot of these dishes were when i looked up at the menu, but the employees totally steered me in the right direction and helped me pick out an awesome meal. The pita bread is great. I normally will not touch salads, but their cucumber salad was fantastic. They have a huge vegetarian selection which is great for some of the picky eaters out..." Read more

"Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of this place. The best thing i can say about this place is the staff! Everyone is so helpful and friendly! If you want to have a small taste of something or have questions about what something is, they can help you! It's a ton of food for the price! The Veggie Platter is delicious! The good smells never let down! If you're in the m..." Read more

"This is not the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. It is a great place for vegetarian/vegan eating so I like it. My meat eating friends were not impressed. But yes the pita bread is delicious!! The prices are decentish. I like the look and feel of the place and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I will definitely keep going for the hummus as well...." Read more

"The owner is always there and very helpful and nice. The lamb shank is the best in Houston along with the pita bread and humus. Lots of choices for food and all of it fresh. Easy for paleo-diet. vegetarian. or all around healthy eating. You will not be disappointed. And have a glass of their fresh fruit juice."

"Just visited here again after a long hiatus and just kept thinking "why don't we eat here more often?" Steaming hot brick oven pita, marinating meat kebabs cooked when you order, large selection of fresh salads, great hummus. They tend to change out the types of salads and most of them are vegetarian friendly. A vegetarian could pig out here (no pun inten..." Read more

"Aladdin's has good mediterranean food and a nice setting. The real high point is the bread, which they make fresh daily. The hummus tastes too citrusy for me, but this is possibly because I'm grounded in Khaleeji arabic food as opposed to mediterranean cuisine. The shwarma sandwiches are ok, but I think there are better ones to be had in Houston (Shwarma..." Read more

"I admit, I wasn't a fan of this place at first. My boyfriend could go here at least once a week. Me? Once a month. What hooked me? The pita bread and hummus. And now, their steak kabobs. My boyfriend's favorite - the chicken schwarma (seriously, he gets it every single time). The employees are friendly, always glad to suggest their favorite side dish (becau..." Read more

"If I had my own magic genie in a bottle, one of my three wishes would be to have Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine every day. While the decor and location aren't the most desireable, the food and value is fantastic. I love the tasty chicken schwarma sandwiches, the delightful hummus and pasta salad. I swear the same people are always there working to deliver m..." Read more

"The parking is like all of the parking in Montrose, scary/narrow/tense and slightly illegal but luckily the pita bread at this place makes it worth leaving the parking lot rear-end first tetris style. The rest of the food is so so to good but the pita bread is fresh and amazing!"

"Aladdin is one of my favorite eateries in town. I have been eating there since they opened. I always have a great experience because I know what dishes are the best, and there is always enough selection that I never get bored. What not miss? Chicken kabob is my favorite. Lamb shank is good, pasta salad, spicy hummus is my new fav, potatoes, Greek salad, cal..." Read more

"If Aladdin weren't a fictional character he would be stealing bread from these guys... Seriously, their pita bread is served right off the oven to be used with their hummus. This place is right off of Westheimer and can be easily missed in the hustle and bustle of the four lane road. It is cafeteria style but don't let that fool you; they have some great..." Read more

"this is like the luby's of middle eastern food. grab a tray and move down the line picking out dishes you want. they have great pita and hummus. the falafel is just ok, and the lamb and chicken kabobs were both great. if falafel is what youre after, head up the street to fendi, but otherwise, this a great place for a quick middle-eastern fix."

"Surprisingly good. I had the chicken shwarma and baba ganouj (I know, I probably misspelled both of those) and my wife had a vegetable plate. Both of our meals were delicious and the price seemed reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful, which is not something that I usually find in Mediterranean restaurants. Overall, a good experience, and I'll defin..." Read more

"When I used to work in The Heights, this was the place I came in at least once a week to enjoy my favorite dish: the chicken schwarma. it was a great big old sandwich with fresh tasty veggies and the greatest sauce ever made. Granted, the chicken was a bit dry at times but the sauce always made up for it and it was just fabulous. Once you waltz in, it's su..." Read more

"This place was OK. I started with the cucumber salad, which was delish. I've had it elsewhere and it was too bland. This was one was perfect. For my entree I had the Chicken Shawarma and it was really good. Not sure the sauce thats used, but the veggies were really good mixed in with it. However, the chicken was a tad dry for my liking. It could have used a..." Read more
