"If I lived in Houston, I would be a regular. This place was so good. The staff was friendly. The food was amazing. I halved my sides, which seems to be a thing, so I could sample multiple things. So good."

"Parking is SUCH a hassle if you're not used to driving in the area and not too great at reading maps. I wouldn't dare park a large car next to the restaurant because the lot is CRAMPED. You would be stuck in a series of backing off a tiny bit, moving forward a tiny bit, and so on until you get out. I decided to park in the extra lot but it did take me awhile..." Read more

"Aladdin is a great place for reasonably priced Mediterranean food. I went for dinner on a Saturday around 6 and was pleasantly surprised by how many tables were open. I wasn't sure how to order, but a friendly employee walked me through choosing what I wanted. I absolutely loved the 2 sides (eggplant and a mashed potato ball) I ordered but the steak kabob wa..."

"Really very very good! My go to for mediterranean food!! I don't eat meat so I always get falafel and its way better than most. I love the potato side as well as the eggplant side. Many sides to choose from and if you are vegetarian you will still have many options. The pita is delish! Its a little on the pricey side but the portion is huge so if you see it..." Read more

"My "go to" spot for Mediterranean food on this side of town. I usually get the veggie plate and there's an overwhelming amount of sides to choose from. My staples are the baba ganoush, hummus, roasted cauliflower, and toubleh. So delicious!!!"

"This place is exceptional! Cafeteria style with no frills except fresh, out of this world food. I've lived in Montrose a few years but only recently discovered this gem. Parking can be annoying since you have to park a few blocks away but it's nice that they have a designated parking lot. I had the lamb kebab with 3 sides, spinach hummus, tabouli, and spin..."

He remembers his regular customers also and greets you with the biggest smile. Every time we go, he is always there even to serve you personally. Gotta love a place where th..." Read more

"Great vegetarian options. The buffet style format can be confusing. The downside with it is you don't know you're missing further down the aisle when you select sides if you don't walk through beforehand. Flavor-wise the sides can be hit or miss. Some are more bland than others. You can get a veggie plate for $10 which comes with 4 sides or a meat plate th..." Read more

"I love this place! For $13, you get a ton of food, which are all extremely flavorful and a majority of the dishes are healthy, vegan, or vegetarian! I really like their grilled vegetable salad and their falafel. You also get super soft pita served alongside your "meat" and sides. There are plenty of options so I'm determined to try something different every..." Read more

"A vegetarian's Mediterranean heaven. Also known as Aladdin. Other reviewers have touched on the great variety and large portions offered at this cafeteria style restaurant so I'll just share some of my favorite items. Don't be fooled by the size of pita bread--it is some of the softest around and is plenty to finish off a side of spicy hummus. The fried ok..." Read more

"One of my favorite places to go to when I'm craving good Mediterranean food! The staff is very friendly and eager to help. I like the cafeteria style since you're able to see what options you have before deciding. When there is a line it moves pretty quickly. I always get the veggie platter so I love that they have many veggie options. All so delicious! You..." Read more

"My friends & I stopped in this cafe on the corner of Montrose & Westheimer to get some food to go. The staff was so great. The food we ordered was very nicely prepared. The cafe is clean & has a nice Vibe. We hope next time to enjoy our meal here. They have a very nice selection dishes & fresh made juices. These juices are a nice contrast to the Houston hea..."

"A lot of options and good chicken kabobs are the only pluses to this place... crumbly, bland, and cold falafel, hummus that is WAY to garlicky, no ice in the vending machine, and the staff forcing you to order four items even if you only want three... Niko Nikos right across the street is a MUCH better choice"

"Solid Mediterranean food. Cafeteria style, decent price for a lot of food. Tip: ask for half portions of the sides! That way you can try more sides and it's still a good size! If the meats intimidate you, you can't go wrong with the chicken skewers. Spinach pies were disappointing. They had some kind of creamy cheese in them, I've never seen them made..." Read more

"Love this restaurant! All the choices can be overwhelming and I've always tried something different...but there's definitely something for everyone. The homemade pita bread and baba ganoush...SO tasty! My kiddos love the hummus and gyro meat. Go hungry and plan on splitting a plate or having leftovers, as they have very generous portions. Always worth the tr..." Read more

"The cafeteria-style is a bit intimidating at first when you have no clue what they have or what you want but the staff have always been very accommodating and patient with me each time. Lamb gyro is a bit dry and did not taste very fresh or juicy as other places. Was extremely disappointed and wished I would've stuck to my usual. The meatballs, lamb shank,..." Read more

"This is my favorite restaurant in Houston! It cost about $12 for a meal of 1 meat and 3 sides, and it comes with delicious bread. For the sides you can pick anything from hummus, to delicious salads, to fried veggies and rice. My favorite meat here is their lamb. I have had it as a stew and as spicy meatballs and have not been disappointed. The portions are..." Read more
