This place is a U District institution for a reason. The gyros are great, as are their platters. The mazzat veggie plate is awesome and incredible filling. They definitely the best falafel in the area, huge and crispy, and their dolmades are excellent. It takes a little while to get your food during peak times, so just be aware. read more

A classic late night spot on the ave. Dawg, i've had so many meals here over the years sheeeeeesh. Tbh all the gyro spots on the ave are pretty similar in terms of taste + price, but this joint has most def been the most popular throughout the years. Expect lines if you come thru late night, but yo the dudes know what they are doing--FAST and EFFICIENT lol. read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 1A) Falafel Sandwich - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is one of my favorite late-night spots in the U District. It's often crowded, but that's usually a good sign. I always go for the chicken shawarma, and it's honestly one of the best I've had in Seattle. The portion is generous, the chicken tastes really good, and I like that they don't overload it with sauces. The spice level is comfortable for most people, not too spicy. Personally, but for my taste, I wish it were a bit spicier to make it even more perfect. Still, I enjoy every bite. I haven't tried their other menu items yet, but they also have a separate burger place right next door that offers burger combos. If you're going for the first time, I'd definitely recommend starting with the shawarma, you're very likely to enjoy it. Even when it's busy, the service is not too slow, which I really appreciate for a late night spot. read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 11B) Chicken Shawarma - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fast service, everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Great price for the portion size, which usually lasts me two meals. The flavors were balanced and satisfying without being overwhelming, and you can really tell they put care into preparing the food. Everything came out hot and quickly, and the quality definitely exceeded my expectations for the price. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. read more

One of my all time favorite spots in Seattle! I love coming here, whether for a meal or a late night snack. The staff are always so friendly and it is always lively here, especially towards the later hours of the day. Grab and go style, but they have a bunch of seating inside. My favorite thing to order here is by far the Aladdin fries- french fries with choice of beef/lamb or chicken, feta cheese, and garlic sauce. The garlic sauce here is so delicious, and all the different parts of the dish go so well together. The serving portions are also so large! Amazing quality and value of food. There is also a related, more fast food type store connected, I also like their loaded fries with chicken a lot :) read more

That was delicious! A hole in the wall. We went to visit the cherry blossoms and passed by this restaurant. It had a nice Covered area outside with picnic tables where we were able to sit with our pup! We got the chicken shawarma and beef/lamb shawarma, and Greek fries! They were all delicious. When you bite into the shawarma, it's crunchy! Perfect amount of sauce too. Very tasty! According to my UW student, this is a go to place for her and her friends. read more

My son has been talking about Aladdin since he's been in high school. He always goes here for the Shawarma his favorite! So I haven't had the chance to try it so I wanted to try the Gyro. It's been hard to find a decent Gyro place to go to. The lamb was seasoned to perfection and the NAAN I really love the taste and texture it was the best I have had in a long time. I going back soon for sure! pictured below read more

My boyfriend has been coming here for years and will go out of his way for their gyros. This was my first time! Everything was perfect. Fries were hot and a huge portion. The cashier was super sweet and welcoming. I loved that he was playing some old school country and then switched it up to more middle eastern music. Great vibes. read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 9A. Gyro Lamb and Beef Sandwich - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Late to the Aladdin Gyro-Cery party, but after it being recently vetted by The Homie and his good friend, I figured it was time to check it out. Plus this business and adjacent burger joint is open daily from 10am to 2am the next day along University Way (The Ave) in Seattle's University District. It has seating indoors, as well as, covered outdoor sidewalk seating too. Drove there with The Homie on 5/26/24. I asked are you sure you want to eat here since he had just dined here twice recently. I got an emphatic yes. So we ventured out close to 10pm and got nearby street parking. Must of found that sweet spot, because after ordering and finding a table, a very long line had formed at the ordering counter. The line was out the door by the time we were leaving. Good thing about such places is that food turns over fast and frequently. I chose 9A Lamb & Beef Gyro - loaded pita with fresh shredded lettuce, bit of onion, tender slices of meat, and tzaziki sauce. Add most with a fork then polished it off with the pita. Wanted to eat and not wear my gyro. The Homie chose 11B Chicken Shawarma - again another loaded wrap with generous amount of grilled succulent chicken. He had this twice before and can attest that it has been consistent whether eaten at lunch time or late night. He also ordered Aladdin's Fries. I kid you not, it is a large takeout box full of fries which he customized with with beef & lamb gyro meat and garlic sauce. Previously he had also added feta cheese. Definitely shareable. Pro tip: If you pay in cash, you get free Kirkland/Costco bottles of water. They take debit/credit cards at the ordering counter. Grab additional napkins too. Ginormous, straightforward food from a fairly sizeable menu. Reasonably priced and late hours. Perfect for college students or folks wanting a decent late night, no frills meal. read more

Located along the Ave next to UW, Just dropped in for a little lamb schwarma before attending a 3 hour event. Took about 10 minutes for the order to come out. Outdoor tables weren't very clean but food was really tasty, Gyros and schwarma cost around $10. Great university food. Just needs a little cleaning up. read more

I LOVE Aladdin Gyro. Their classic lamb gyro is perfect - loaded with meat, veggies, and tzatziki sauce. The Aladdin fries are absolutely delicious - they hit the spot with those late-night cravings. The chicken shawarma also deserves a mention, so good!! It is priced just right - I usually will spend about $10 on one very large item. The fries are so big you can share them and still not finish. The gyro is just the perfect size. The inside of Aladdin is what you would expect from a gyro/burger stand right off the campus. That being said, I wouldn't say that it has ever felt dirty. Their kitchen is fully within view, and it seems very well run. read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 10. Gyro Chicken Sandwich - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Perfect late night spot to get Mediterranean food. If you like garlicky and zesty flavors you can't go wrong with something like a shawarma or a gyro. The Aladdin fries are their classic, but they are a bit too garlicky for my liking. read more

Very solid prices (especially compared to on-campus options), friendly/relaxed staff, pretty good turnaround time even when busy. I always get the "aladdin falafel" vegetarian gyro-type-thing (not sure of the exact verbiage), which is not too expensive (~10USD) & super filling--a little messy, but if you eat some of the lettuce separately beforehand it's a lot easier. Not a very cozy experience and seating is limited (and most of the time you end up sitting in the adjacent burger place) but dine-in in the U District is not the move regardless. read more

There are very limited late-night food options in the Seattle area, but luckily Aladdin was still open and not too far of a drive for us as we were leaving the stadium area. Finding street parking was not too difficult since it was about 12:45AM. It was VERY busy since this restaurant is located in the University District, so it was filled with college students also looking for a late-night food fix after a night out. We were able to order food and sit down to eat it before we were booted out of the seating area as they were preparing to close for the night. The food was good but did take a little longer than we wanted since we were hungry. My group did order a few items: Gyro Lamb & Beef, Aladdin's Gyro, French Fries, Aladdin Fries, and a Yogurt Milk (I DO NOT recommend getting this drink, unless you like the taste of cheese in a liquid form). read more

Aladdin used to be one of the go-to's for me back in school. I ordered a gyro plate like the usual. Staff asked me if I want to pay in cash (so they avoid the credit card fees), and their extra incentive is to give you a free water bottle. I opted to go with the credit card since I didn't want to carry any coins, and they add an extra 50 cent credit card fee to your order. Something that should be brought up verbally when paying. Gyro plate meat quality has gone down significantly, and the food isn't as hot anymore. I'm glad they expanded their real estate so there's more seating, but the ordering system and service can definitely improve. Street parking only. read more

Amazing chicken shawarma and Aladdin lamb fries. I grave the sauce on the fries. Large servings too!

Aladin's Gyro Platter is an absolute delight! The dish featured a crisp tomato lettuce salad, perfectly cooked and flavorful basmati rice, and chicken that was seasoned to perfection and topped with a rich, creamy white sauce. The homemade sauce on the side was a refreshing addition that elevated the entire meal. I also tried their chicken shawarma, which was juicy, though it could have been slightly more tender--a quick fix with a bit more of that tasty sauce! Being open late night is a huge bonus for those after-hours cravings. read more

3.75 out of 5 My friend's favorite spot for chicken shawarma, so we came here for his birthday. We tried the lamb/beef, chicken, and lamb shawarma. Loved how packed they are with protein, the flavorful sauces, and that hot sauce on the side. The chicken shawarma? Solid. Wish I'd gotten that instead. The lamb shawarma started off great but got super soupy at the end--hard to finish. Also, I was really missing meatier pickles for some crunch, though the grilled tortilla did add a bit of texture. We ordered online ahead of time, but there was a mix-up with our order, which was annoying. Overall, not bad, but next time, it's chicken all the way. read more

Super satisfying, juicy, flavor blast, creamy chicken shawarma with hints of veggies -- tomato, pickles, onions. Aladdin serves the best shawarma in my opinion. Generous amount of filling, crispy, thin grilled pita. I had this for lunch and I was still full until dinner time. I didn't even have dinner, I just snacked. There's a lot of seating inside, the wait is about 5-10 minutes depending on how busy the day is. Free water bottle, if you pay with cash. read more

The chicken was like eating rubber, and for some reason it took forever to get. They were all in the back laughing and not seeming to do much, very confusing. Of all the great places on University Ave there is no reason to go here. read more

Dare I say one of the best Gyro's I've ever had? There was a line so I knew it was a good spot. You go up to the register and put in your order and then they'll call your order number when it's ready. It took under 10 minutes. I got the Lamb Gyro and it was stuffed with meat and generous sauce and toppings. The flavor was amazing. Highly recommend read more

Open late (2am) so def a place to go with friends if y'all wanna hang out and grab a late night bite. The restaurant is connected to Charbroil Grill so if you decide you're not feeling Gyro you can just walk inside the store to the "other store". Super quirky seating, but honestly good food&come with good company and you've got the whole vibe. Free bottle of water if you pay with cash. read more

One of my favorite places I've tried on the Ave. I got a Lamb and Beef Shwarma and it really hit the spot. No ingredient was super overwhelming and it was a perfect grab and go item because it's like a no mess wrap. Their Greek Fries were very addicting as well as someone who wasn't a huge fan of feta cheese but they did it well. I can see why it's still a staple here. read more

I can see how college students nearby would be endeared by this spot as it is cheap and fast but unfortunately, there is better food to be had elsewhere. I ordered a dinner special platter with the chicken and the greek fries. The chicken was a tad bit dry and the soda that I ordered was swapped with something else and while I added a side of baba ganoush, I got hummus instead. The salad felt underseasoned and I think that the proportions of rice to meat were uneven as there was not enough rice. The fries were soggy and cold and honestly, not very good which was the general theme of everything I tried here. read more

Located on the Ave, Aladdins is a super popular spot for university students. Came tonight for a late night meal since its one of the rarer places open past 11 PM. They have a decently large indoor seating space and even some outdoor seating, but also prep all orders to-go. I ordered #20, which is lamb & beef + basmati rice. It also comes with a side salad that has onions, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and a pickle. I heard a lot of good things about this place, but was pretty underwhelmed. It tasted OK, but the rice was undercooked (kinda raw) and lacked flavor, while the meat was cut inconsistently (some pieces too thick and some were tiny). It also didn't help that my order took forever to come out... our number was 35 but they were calling 60 before they called mine :( not sure I would come again unless I was super hungry and nothing else was open read more

This place has great gyros, burgers, hummus and more. The Greek fries are super yummy! And I love visiting in the summer and eating outside.

I came here for dinner on a Saturday night at around 8:30pm. This is located in University District and in the front you'll see a row of wooden structures covering outdoor seating. It looks small when you first walk inside but it turns out there is a lot more space with tables in the back of the restaurant. I ordered the gyro lamb and beef ($8.19) and the Aladdin fries ($10.90). The gyro was solid and is one of the better ones I've had in the Seattle area, but the star of the show were the Aladdin fries. The portions are really good for the price and the fries are loaded with lots of meat, sauce, and cheese. I can also confirm that heating up the fries the next day still came out great. Fries are my kryptonite and these are a must-get. I love that they're open late and I think more of these late night spots are needed all around. I came here completely blasted and absolutely starving, and all the carbs and deliciousness satisfied my cravings. Even when I'm dry I'm still looking forward to the day when I can come back because regardless of the state I'm in, I'm sure this place is great. read more

Stopped by Aladdin on a busy Monday night. There was a huge line of folks in front of me but they got through the line pretty quick. They have a lot of options but I was in the mood for some Shish Tawook kebab sandwich and boy was I right. Juicy marinated chicken with garlic, herbs, spices, hummus, lettuce and tomato on a lightly roasted pita. The chicken pieces were beautifully marinated and the spices added the perfect flavor to make this probably one of the best Shish Tawooks I have ever had in Seattle. We also ordered the greek fries and they were amazing. The staff is super friendly, nice and food comes out hot and pretty quick. They do have some place to sit inside - do not expect great ambience but just come here for good food and you will go home satisfied. Highly recommend this hole in the wall Mediterranean deli in University District. I will stop by again soon. ;) read more
