Absolute classic for students staying up late and wandering around hungry at UW. Aladdin Fries are the go-to -- easy to split, fresh, and delicious. Have eaten these unashamedly at 2AM in the morning too many times to count unashamedly. Best to bring cash and arrive slightly before closing time in the late nights so you don't keep the crew up! They're such great people. read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 17C. Aladdin Fries - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Solid food joint. Competitive pricing for portions (paid $11 dollars but it was with the additional credit card fee). I ordered the Aladdin veggie roll with baba ganoush. So goooood!!! All the veggies were an excellent combination and there was fries in the wrap too (I'm fairly certain but may still be wrong in my flavor identification). Food was prepared fairly quickly which made for a convenient last minute takeout dinner. Definitely would recommend! read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - Aladdin veggie roll. - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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.

Solid. Real shawarma, fresh salad with olives and I believe feta cheese, and a an A-tier hummus. Good prices too. I wish I knew that the falafel was spicy, would've swapped it out with something else. Will definitely come back again. read more

Stumbled upon this place when a place nearby was jam packed and man was I happy I did. They have a full Halal menu, which is amazing for those with dietary restrictions. We ordered one combo plate, and the meat was so tender! Wasn't a huge fan of the rice as it had more of a Southeast Asian kick to it rather than Middle Eastern. You must order the Combo fries--hands down one of the best meat and fries combos I've ever had. It did have quite a bit of garlic, so be prepared for that or perhaps ask for less if that's possible. The back of the restaurant has a ton of seating and the staff were super nice and helpful while ordering. I even contemplated getting food from here two nights in a row. Check them out! read more

A great late night place to get food at. The line is long, especially on weekend nights, but worth the wait. The beef gyro wrap is flavorful and tasty. It comes out fresh and the sauce is a perfect ratio to the rest of the meat and fillings. read more

Yuck!!!!!! Gyro platter had gross wilted lettuce. The meat was a horrific salty slurry. And everything was drenched in grease. I'm sure it's acceptable when drunk, but pretty disgusting for lunch. read more

Don't remember who recommended this place. Looks like a small place. We managed to find a nearby parking and tried this place for lunch. Was very disappointed with the food here. We ordered the Veggie platter, Chicken shawarma & Greek fries that day. Shawarma was decent to be fair - nothing special or authentic about it. Didn't like the platter at all. Greek fries were good - freshly made. Mediterranean being my one of the personal favorites, I hardly dislike the food. Not sure the quality of the food or the high expectations. I didn't feel like it's authentic Mediterranean food for some reason. It's a busy place - a lot of students (I assume) around. It was noisy. Service was good and fast. I could sense their sincerity all through. read more

Recommended by a friend for late night food. It was good, but just not great. Flavorful food, but took kind of a long time to get my food. Felt a little queezy afterwards. I might try it again, but hesitantly. read more

Tried to order here on 9/25/2025. Stood in line with everyone else. Then the cashier started helping everyone behind me when I got to the front of the line. He made eye contact with me several times and kept calling on each person in back of me. So I walked out. Not sure what their problem is but if you're going to be blatantly disrespectful, I won't be returning again. read more

After a night of drinking, a snack was well needed and a friend suggested this shop. Thankfully they did because I've been hearing a TON of amazing things about the restaurant! The location that my group and I went to is located in between Big Time Brewery & Alehouse and Starbucks near NE 42nd St on University Way NE. This location extends to a burger area too, I believe. There's There's only paid street parking around the area. Parking can get horrendous around dinner times and especially during the weekends. I was told the Aladdin Fries were the best thing ever especially when sharing. But for some unknown reason, I ended up ordering the gyro version instead LMAO. Definitely a fail on my part BUT the gyro itself was still really really delicious! TONS of flavor in the gyro. The feta cheese with the garlic sauce, DROOL. Such a great combination of flavors that I just could not get enough of it! If my drunk self loved it so much, I'm betting my sober self would love it equally LOL. My friends got the Aladdin Fries, and it was definitely the correct kind of snack to have amongst friends. WHOOPS. Won't make this mistake again in the future. Amazing late night food joint to stop by especially after a night of drinking. However, I feel that even on normal sober days, this restaurant would still be hella bomb! Definitely will be back soon! read more

The sun had set over Seattle's bustling U District, but the lights of Aladdin's glowed bright. As I approached the counter, I was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of sizzling meats and spices. But my eyes were fixed on a towering plate of fries, smothered in creamy tzatziki and topped with crumbled feta. These were the Aladdin Greek Fries. As I took my first bite, the world fell away. The crisp exterior gave away to a tender, perfectly cooked interior. The tangy tzatziki danced across my taste buds, perfectly complimenting the savory seasoning on the fries. And then, the burst of flavor from the feta added a zesty freshness that elavated the dish to new heights. With each bite, I was transported to a bustling Greek marketplace, surrounded by the sights and smells of vendors selling their wares. But in reality, I was sitting in a cozy corner of Aladdin's, savoring every. Last. Fry. In a city filled with delicious food, the Aladdin Greek Fries stand out as a true gem. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal or a savory snack, these fries are a must-try. So if you find yourself in the U District, don't hesitate to visit Aladdin's and indulge in this delectable dish. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Came with my sister because we were on the hunt for the best chicken shawarma wrap in Seattle and this place kept coming up! They have a lot of indoor seating and outdoor seating, which is great. It's definitely divey though, so not the best ambiance to have a long, sit down meal here. We tried the falafel sandwich and the chicken shawarma wrap ($10 each), which came in large portions and was affordable! Both were delicious! The chicken shawarma comes with a LOT of chicken and the falafel sandwich was much more vegetable heavy, so getting both and sharing was perfect. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick and easy meal that is filling and affordable. read more

The food is pretty tasty but parking in the area is difficult. There limited room to sit inside but we were doing take out. The price is good for the ave as well. read more

Ordered the fries with lamb ($12 total). Amazing food!!! Always open!!! The cheese on top adds a tangy taste to the savory lamb and crispy fries. read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 17B. Greek Fries - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a college student oasis because the food is so affordable and also quite good. This place also opens quite late so it is also perfect after a night out drinking, etc. As this was a late night snack for me, my friend and I shared a lamb and beef shawarma which was around $9. Portions were pretty sizable for a nice satisfying meal. The wrap is toasted, and there is a generous amount of lamb and beef within that is flavorful and slightly roasted. There is some sauce, tomatoes, and onions, but the focus is the generous amount of meat, so plan accordingly if you need vegetables in the meal. read more

aladdin's is a university of washington staple right on the ave. it's the ultimate place for a late night meal (since it closes at 2), and rating it anything other than 5 stars would be a disservice to amount of times i've come here after a night out. service is relatively quick and staff are very friendly! the interior is run down, but this doesn't really bother anyone. overall, i will be back here and i recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for mediterranean food around UW! read more

Friends and I have dined here, in the restaurant, and takeout for decades. No longer. The falafel served on Dec 25th made us very sick. It was the one meal eaten that day, so clearly the source of the illness. Additionally, the tables were grimy and had human hair and grease stains on them and the restaurant (and bathroom) had a general sense of not being cleaned in some time. Goodbye, Aladdin Gyro-cery. It was nice knowing you. read more

Alladin Gyro never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. One of the best spots in Seattle for authentic Mediterranean flavors. Highly recommend! 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

Delicious falafel and gyros and they've been in the udistrict forever. The interior is a little rough but so is the ave. Love it for what it is. read more

Cheap and delicious. I ordered the beef and lamb gyro combo. It includes soda, gyro, fries. read more

The best damn gyro around! My friend recommended this spot in the u district for their greek fries, so naturally we had to check it out. I got the gyro combo and upgraded my fries to greek fries. This has got to be the best and most fresh gyro I have ever tasted! fresh vegetables and homemade pita bread, creamy and tangy yogurt sauce, and the meat was juicy and seasoned to perfection. It doesn't get better than this...Oh wait.... it does....Greek fries!!!! Definitely worth the $2.50 upgrade fee, crispy French fries doused in their phenomenal yogurt sauce, fresh feta cheese sprinkled on top, and more of their delicious seasoning blend. If you're looking for the best Mediterranean food of your life (in the Seattle area) this place is the spot... seriously, you will not regret checking this place out. DISCLAIMER: This restaurant is NOT to be mistaken as Aladdin's Falafel Corner. This spot is about a block or two south of the Starbucks on university way. Red and yellow detailing on the storefront. Thanks! Just want to avoid any confusion as there are two "Aladdin's____" on the same street. read more

Amazing gyro wraps and salad, not too heavy but full of flavor. Great seasoned waffles fries. Such kind staff, gave us two free water bottles. Really appreciated that they let us pray in the back. Good seating and nearby to other shops. Cozy spot but can get loud in evenings due to proximity to the University. read more

Ah yes. The famous Aladdin. If you're craving a post-midnight snack after a long night out, this is the #1 SPOT to go to. Aladdin is open until 2:30am every morning to cater to the energetic college crowd. It's a small restaurant, so I would recommend getting takeout. However, there's usually a small table or two open in the back room. They also have another restaurant further down the Ave; I think that restaurant is a little bigger, but I still would not recommend it for seating large groups. GET: ALADDIN FRIES- fresh out of the oil fries smothered with meat from the spinning spit and your choice of Tzatziki sauce or garlic sauce. My guy friends tend to like their fries with the lamb/beef combo, but I think I prefer the chicken because it's less rich and has a heavenly, dry curry rub. I also ask for light sauce because they tend to pour it with a heavy hand. Service is usually quick (15min or less), but the kitchen is cramp and they only have two or three workers working at once. They are always very friendly and are prompt to take orders. Their gyros and shwarmas are good, but Aladdin fries are pure comfort food on comfort food. When it's 2am and I need some substance to hold me over, all I can say is: Hallelujah for Aladdin! Overall: 5/5 food, 5/5 service, 4/5 atmosphere read more

Aladdin Gyro-Cery - 17C. Aladdin Fries - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Solid gyro/shawarma spot on the ave thats stays up past 2am. My only complaint is that the pita is always a but cold (I personally prefer when my bread is warm and toasty). The meat inside (both the chicken and beef/lamb) is always generously seasoned and warm on the other hand. I also recommend this spot for chicken shawarma's specifically over the others. This may be a personal preference but I just like how it's seasoned more. Maybe its because i went at 2am but the service was very diligent and fast compared to past experiences here. read more

this place is hands down my favorite place for gyros! stumbled upon this spot after leaving another greek place disappointed. the aladdin fries are a game changer. this hidden gem serves fresh food and is loved locally. definitely somewhere i will be coming back, they're open late too! read more

This place has some pretty good gyros and is open relatively late. I tried the Aladdin Fries which are loaded with cheese and meat. Their falafel was very tasty and sauces were flavorful. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. They do have an upcharge for paying with credit card, so stick to cash if possible. read more

This gyro location always dishes out good food. Very popular spot so it is quite busy at times. Hours are great and very accessible during various times of the day. Gyros never disappoint, although can be a bit messy to eat. Not much customer service and the ambiance isn't great considering the location. However, it is my favorite place to get gyros by far. read more

This place look deceivingly small from outside. It's actually quite spacious inside with a lot of seating. They open late even during the pandemic. You'd think for late night munchies, you'd have to settle for sub par meals but don't despair they're truly delicious. Grabbed takeout from here the other night. Ordered the Dinner Special Plate that comes with a choice of meat, a choice of spread either hummus or eggplant, and a can of soda. I opted for chicken since I don't really eat lamb due to past experiences eating gamey lamb meat. When we got home, I just realized they gave me the wrong meat. Being starving and it was super late already with most places had already closed early, I decided to eat it anyway. I was delightfully surprised by the quality of the meat. It was incredibly tender and fragrant. No gamey taste at all. Very tasty! Comes with a fresh salad and a generous thick pita bread to dip in the hummus. The warm plate was incredible on a cold breezy night. We also tried the Chocolate Roll Baklava. It was a good size, actually it was nearly double the size vs the typical baklava you get elsewhere. It was sweet but not too sweet, as expected with a natural honey filling. The chocolate gives it a great chocolatey spin to the nutty honey taste. I like it a lot. You can't miss this place though it looks like a hole in the wall from outside but there's always a queue of people waiting to grab their takeout orders. A steady flow of customers kept coming as we were waiting. read more

Aladdins was an interesting experience for me. I had never had middle eastern food before. We got the Greek fries and chicken Shawarma and they were ok. The good tasted good but I wouldn't say it was anything special for me. The service was quick but it was an order/pick up at the counter so no real customer service to comment on. Their layout is really weird that could probably cause issues for social distancing if that were to be reimplemented. The entrance/exit is extremely cozy. read more

Aladdin's is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, a study snack, drunk food, and anything else you can name. Living in Alabama, I do not get this luxury, but I always make sure I stop by when I visit Seattle. I remember once I was waiting in line and the guy in front of me drove 30 minutes from Bellevue at 12 am just to get Aladdin's. That shows you how good it is. The food is amazing and so fresh. In the Aladdin gyro, they give you a hunk of sizzling meat. The veggies inside are so fresh and crisp, and the pita is warm and molds the filling. It's so flavorful because of the sauce and has all the right juices flowing down your mouth and hands. Make sure to grab a bunch of napkins. The Aladdin fries tho.. Every bite is perfection. The saltiness of the fries go well with the cheesiness of the feta and the lamb/beef just top it all off. The different textures from how soft the cheese is to the crispy skin of the fries just balance out so well. Perfect to share for two people. However, if you're really hungry, go for the whole thing. read more

We ordered Chicken Shawarma , Aladdin Veggie Roll (Chef's Favorite) and Chicken Aladdin Fries. The rolls by default come in a Tortilla wrap instead of the traditional pita wrap for which you need to pay extra $. Chicken roll was good with the right spice mix and Chicken pieces were soft and tasted good. The alladin veggie special came with falafel, cauliflower and other veggies and was good as well. The loaded Fries with chicken was amazing. Chicken, cheese and fries - a high guilt trip ride but worth the taste! Will remember to order and pay for pita when we order next time! Btw, they have good seating arrangements and a good mike to shout out your name or order number! read more

Had an awful experience at the other location on 50th last week, and I was pleasantly surprised by an extra nice and courteous server working the register today who cooked some extra delicious food and didn't charge me 75 cents for a couple drops of hot sauce.
