"I use to come here when the price was good. But recently came just because I was near by and the price had just shot up way too high. I ordered 3 sides with chicken kabob and the price was 18.39 with tax. Insane. That's with water and no drink. I had told the manager that why did the price had gone up again and he said that with everything going up, he had..." Read more

"Disappointing: another mediocre chain, over priced for the quality of the food. There are many better and more authentic options in Houston for Mediterranean food."

"It was a disappointment.. we ordered three meals for delivery and requested utensils but came without utensils while staying at a hotel. The food was not authentic. I couldn't eat the tabouli .. it tasted nothing like what a tabouli tastes like. The baked chicken was too salty and the lamb shank tasted weird. The pomegranate eggplant was good. The bread was..."

"I usually love this place but today 04/10/2022 @6:30 pm went to get food and the staff was 100 percent unfriendly. I have eaten here many times for carry out. It is a shame to see this happen to Aladdin. I will have to find another Mediterranean restaurant now."

"Been coming here for years and just had make a comment on my experience today. Took an Uber to eat here before heading to Astros game and they don't do dine in anymore because the "pandemic". I'm being told this by a staff that wasn't even wearing masks.... very logical right?! The lady tells me I can eat outside and then after I order and pay she then tells..." Read more

"Really confused at how this place has such good reviews. The food is not fresh at all. My husband and I came here and he got extremely sick after eating here. We went to the doctor and confirmed it was food poisoning."

"I agree, not sure how it got 4.5 stars review but we came here last night to give it another shot but it's basic, not many options to choose from, hummus wasn't creamy, I didn't really tasted the chickpeas from it, and chicken kabob was bland."

"I don't get how this place has 4.5 stars I can say from the Mediterranean places I've tried this is the most basic one My lamb had a unpleasant taste and smell Greek salad tasted like it's been in the refrigerator for a while Rise had too much condiments, Pita bread ok Hummus ok And finally I thought I was going to tase something good I got baclava as..."

"This place is so loud you cannot easily talk to people at your own table. Food was not great, beef kabob was terrible - too much cinnamon or other spice. So disappointing"

"As several other people have noted, this may well be the loudest restaurant in the Houston area. The combination of loud voices with the sound of chairs being dragged across the concrete floor plus sounds coming from the serving area creates a cacophony that is overwhelming to the point that it is impossible to have a conversation, which is not an issue at t..."

"This was my first time trying Mediterranean food but this place wasn't it. Food was very plain and had little to no taste. My favorite thing had to be the bread but that was about it. Salad was drenched in oil, zucchini and squash were overly salted. The only thing you could taste in the chicken was the char from the grill. Would give one star but customer s..." Read more

"Came here after the museum, based on the reviews was expecting a decent middle eastern/mediterranean meal. I got the gyro meat plate with hummus, spinach salad and potatoes and my girlfriend got the chicken shawarma sandwich with hummus. They have a variety of different hummus flavors, we tried 4 (spinach, spicy, onion and baba ganoush) and really didn't lik..." Read more

"This place is definitely overrated and the food was just okay. I wasn't blown away by the food and I don't know how people say this is the best Mediterranean place in Houston. I got the chicken kabob when I went and the chicken was dried out and was really chewy. The staff also had a hard time explaining to me what the side dishes were when I was asking them..." Read more

"Now I understand 2 stars is kind of harsh but with such a high amount of good reviews, it set my expectations very high. I'll start with the good. The sides we tried were hummus, rice, spicy corn, grilled veggies, and lime cilantro potatoes. Everything except the grilled veggies was pretty good. As for the pita bread you get 2 with your meal and one was good..." Read more

"I love middle eastern but this is meh. Mostly dry & lacking finesse. House of kabob is my favorite cheap middle eastern in Houston and it's a 3.5 on my scale. Houston does not have great middle eastern food unfortunately."

"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"

"The price is right, the taste is not. I ordered meat and three sides. Chicken kabobs with rice, squash and hummus. Let's start with the pita, it's really sweet. I've never had sweet pita before and I can't say I'm a fan. The rice and vegetables tasted like pickle juice was all over them. The chicken was dry. This place has a lot of great reviews so it may ju..." Read more

"The set-up at this restaurant is similar to a buffet where all of the side dishes are already prepared, and you walk down the line and tell the server which sides you want and if you want a full portion or a half portion. This is common for these type of Mediterranean restaurants. Aladdin isn't very big, so the selection isn't huge. I thought the food was o..." Read more

"Not a fan! We ordered in for lunch. I got a Kafta kabob which was the saving grace for me to give 2 stars along with the spicy hummas. The rice pilaf is very bland and the chicken kabob was dry and tasteless. The garlic dip was a waste of money. If you want good Persian/Mediterranean food go to Kasra on Westhiemer and Gessner"

"The worst part about this review is that it's being compared to Fadi's which is the absolute best when it comes to middle eastern food. The only thing they have going for them is the quantity of sides they give you but other than that everything is meh. The curry chicken here is the worst, the meat itself isn't too bad but the flavors are so off. Beef kabob..." Read more

"I went for lunch last week for my first visit here. I went through the buffet line and picked the lamb with cauliflower, rice, potatoes and bread. The amount of food was enough to satisfy the heartiest appetite for about $14 with drink and tax. The lamb was in a soupy broth with some potatoes. I thought it was kind of bland and gave it a 2. The veggies were..." Read more
