"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!"

"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

"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

"I really like this place for value for money. I can go in and share a platter with a friend and still have leftovers. The guy behind the counter is great at letting me know the gluten free choices. The people who work there are greaat!"

"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..."

"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."

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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..."
