Tav S.

My wife and I were out in the Round Rock area thrifting and picking up groceries when we decided to stop into Aladdin Halal Grill for lunch. First impression? I'm not gonna lie... I was a little unsure. The place was completely empty when we walked in, and the TV menu screens were off, so we had to rely on the paper takeout menus by the register. Luckily, we already knew what we wanted to try: the gyro wrap combo with fries and a drink. The soda fountain was also down, so they offered canned sodas instead. Not ideal, but thankfully the ice machine was working. To be fair, this was around 12:30 on a random Tuesday and they had only been open about an hour, so I'm giving a little grace there. Now for the important part... the food. The food came out quick, hot, and fresh. The portions were solid, and honestly, these were some of the best plain fries I've had since moving to Texas. Crispy, seasoned just right, and actually fresh. The gyro wrap was loaded and flavorful too. What really stood out was the service. The guy at the counter was super attentive and checked on us multiple times while we were eating. What initially felt like a sketchy little spot honestly turned out to be a hidden gem. Definitely one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" type places.

Chicken Shawarma Over Rice
Joe R.

I am in Round Rock for work and I happened to stumble across Aladdin Halal Grill after the original place I had in mind was closed, and man am I glad I did! I got a chicken shawarma over rice platter, which was absolutely incredible! The portion sizes were enough for me to make two meals out of, as it came with heaps of chicken, rice, a Mediterranean salad, and a pita. My picture is AFTER I finished my first half of the meal! The service was also incredibly fast and the front desk staff member was extremely friendly. The restaurant was clean, with a good handful of other patrons dining in. I will certainly be back any time I'm in the area!

Lamb kabab
Bing G.

We ordered takeout from Aladdin Halal Grill and tried two dishes--overall a decent and budget-friendly experience with a few bright spots. What we ordered: Beef Shawarma Arabi This was my first time trying the "Arabi" style, which is kind of like a chicken or beef wrap that's sliced into a few pieces--great for sharing. The beef shawarma inside was super flavorful and well-spiced, but the thin pita wrap got soggy from the juices, which took away from the texture by the time it arrived. Kafta Kabab Plate (with extra lamb kabab) Both the kafta and lamb were pretty average--heavily spiced, though that may be because it wasn't hot anymore by the time we got it. The flavor profile leaned strong on the spices, which might work for some, but wasn't really my favorite. Hummus (served with both dishes) Smooth and lighter than most hummus I've had, but still very solid. The real standout, though, was their sauce--whatever garlic/tomato/hot sauces they include really elevated the meal. Sides: Salad The salad had some bitter cucumber slices that threw me off. Not sure if that's just the produce or a prep issue. Service: fast for delivery and food was well packaged. Would I return? Maybe--especially for the beef shawarma, but next time I'd skip the Arabi wrap and just get the regular version. That said, the pricing here is very reasonable, especially for the portion size. And if you're ordering for a group, that Arabi style wrap is a good one to split. I probably wouldn't go for the kababs again, but I'd definitely come back to explore more of their shawarma options.

Small place in a shopping strip seems family owned and operated. Prices were actually really very reasonable like a shawarma ranging from $8-11 not bad. We had an Adana, arabi and and a plate with beef and lamb. The beef was ok, not great not bad I felt like it was missing something and the pita was a little thick for me ( I got use to the lavashbread at my regular places) the lamb though that was delicious. I think if we go back to Austin I will definitely get the ground lamb kabob. They were extremely nice. I think the 3 star is more because I ordered something that wasn't really my thing. But I will definitely go back for the lamb

Glanced at reviews, and no one mentioned how dirty it was. I like kebab shop and dimassi's for that reason, it is clean in there. I would say it was filthy. Cleanless is a priority to me, so I will skip this place in future. Food was not as good as I would expect. My beef shawarma wrap worth exact $8 not more. Plain pita, pinch of tomatoes and lettuce, some beef, partially hard and chewy, overly salty tahini sauce and not spicy, even I asked to make it spicy. Kids mea $5 is perfect size and value, does not come with any drink. Would I recommend, no. I know better places for a reasonable price to get Mediterranean food. As someone mentioned here, this place offer reasonably priced options, but the quality is not as good. Two men were working at the grill, they did not wear aprons, neither hairnets or hats. Once one of them touched his beard with his hand in a glove and kept cooking. Not the best practice.

Meat Rolls
Lyla A.

We ordered through Uber Eats. One kafta kabob plate, one lamb kabob plate, a side of eggplant dip, a side of meat rolls, and 2 orders each of baklava and nut rolls. Both the kafta and lamb kabobs were a good size and the rice was flavorful. It also came with 2 large thin pitas per dish. The kabobs tasted the same to me and were fine. If you prefer lean, you'll like them. The portion of the eggplant dip was very small. With delivery you never know if someone touched it or that's how it came from the restaurant. For a strip center in Round Rock it was fine.

Chicken Schwarma wrap - you be the judge.

This has been my "go-to" but is this place under new chefs/owners/mgmt? For context, I ordered takeout and took the pic within 10 minutes of picking it up. This is what you now get as a chicken Schwarma wrap. I've eaten 10s of these in my life and never once has it looked like this. Feels lazy. And it tastes like it looks. As does the babaganoush. Not sure what's going on. Hope they realize something is going on in the kitchen and fix it. They've been so good in the past. Hard pass for now.

Chicken Shawarma over Hummus + Lamb Kabab over Rice + 6 Piece Falafel
Amy W.

Aladdin Halal Grill is one of our favorite mediterranean choices that we have in rotation. One of the nice things about this place is their late hours for those late night munchies! Service can be just a tad slow, but everything is made fresh and yummy! My go-tos are the chicken over hummus plate, the tabouleh (you can add meat to it too for a bit extra!), and the falafel. Their hummus is pretty good and nutty. My roombae likes their lamb and often gets the lamb over rice platter. Everything is decently priced and portioned. Definitely check this place out if you're craving mediterranean and on the north side of town!

Chicken tawook

Loved the chicken tawook! Very nice flavors from the spices, tender juicy chicken, and delicious hummus, rice, pita. Very good price for the combo, will definitely be coming back for lunch often!

Fried Eggplant $5.49 and Eggplant Dip $5.49
Lucy V.

The fried eggplant and grilled chicken came out fresh and steaming hot. the chicken tawook was juicy. the eggplant dip has chunks of eggplant in it which I liked, and the meal also came with 2 pieces of pita bread.

Tonyia F.

Generous servings made fresh to order. Price is very competitive considering that more than likely you will not be able to finish your meal and can make it a 2nd meal for later. Pita bread was not really warm even when wrapped it foil, tasted more like a tortilla, but the salad, cucumbers and tomatoes, was delicious. That was my favorite part of my meal along with the gyro.

There's also a location in Pflugerville which is closer to me, but this Round Rock location really stands out to me. The food is fresh, flavorful, and consistently well made, but what really makes the difference is the service. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about the customer experience. For me, great food is important, but great service paired with quality food is what keeps me coming back -- and this location absolutely delivers on both. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving a really good wrap and an even better experience. Highly recommend!

I understand caring about the environment but by the time I got home about 45 minutes later the bottom of my bowl was soggy. So much so I had to put it in another bowl so it wouldn't break. I feel like the options I selected for my bowl were good but I would not select the grilled veggies in the future. They were quite mushy and I did not like its texture or taste so I avoided eating them. I got flatbread thinking it was pita bread so that was a bit disappointing especially since I didn't care much for the flatbread. I am also a saucy girl so I did enjoy all the different sauce options they have and being able to take little containers of whatever you want is great. I enjoyed my bowl for the most part and would try another option in the future.

A Fantastic Introduction to Mediterranean Food!…read more I recently visited Levant Halal Restaurant and brought my parents, who are visiting from India. It was their very first time trying Mediterranean food, and they absolutely loved it! We started with two different types of hummus served with pita. The hummus was incredibly flavorful, and the pita was exceptionally fresh. We also ordered the falafel, which was perfectly prepared and delicious. For the main course, we shared the Chicken Shish Taouk with sides of beet salsa and Lebanese potatoes--everything was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. Honestly, the highlight of the meal for us was the drinks. The mint juice and beet juice were so refreshing and easily the best part! We finished our meal with baklava and basbousa for dessert, and both were fresh, sweet, and incredibly tasty. Beyond the fantastic food, the ambiance is very neat and clean, and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Levant Halal, especially if you are looking for a great place to introduce family to Mediterranean cuisine!

They looked like they were unhappy that I walked in. The food was alright but the pita was burnt (not good to serve to the customers). Otherwise... I'll check and see if the friendly workers are working before coming back. And the guy started cleaning right next to me with his spray bottle of chemicals. He stopped after cleaning the two tables on each side of me. That could've waited till they closed or he could've started on the other end. Naughty! They need to learn better customer service! Also I ordered the Levant Shawarma plate and I didn't even get to choose the sides.. very very disappointed!

If you don't yet know that Caspian Grill has a whole vegan menu, you should. I'm late to the game…read moreand now working to make up for lost time. Not only are they incredibly kind, but also very knowledgeable about the vegan options, and even keep all vegan prep separate from animal products. For the first time ever, I was able to try real tahdig, so thoroughly crispy that you can hear it crunch between the teeth of your dining companion across the table. Khoresh bademjan is typically made with lamb, but in this case, tender lentils carry the eggplant with enough meatiness that you'd never think the dish had ever been prepared differently. If you only get one thing, though, make it the ash reshteh. Don't be fooled by the size of the bowl; this is one hearty entree, absolutely packed with chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, soft wheat noodles, and more herbs and spices than I could identify on a single spoon. I'm already plotting how I can recreate this at home, ASAP. There's even a vegan dessert! Sweet and sticky halva, which is rich enough to split four or five ways at least, if you weren't already stuffed from the main meal. It's a double-edged sword that it was so quiet on a Saturday night. No fight for a table or wait for service, but it worries me that there's almost no buzz for this family-owned business. Get out and support them, early and often!

Thanksgiving came around and we had zero desire to cook or clean. Our "plan" (and I use that word…read moreloosely) was Golden Corral. We figured if we got there early, we'd beat the crowd. Cute of us, honestly. We pulled up and that parking lot looked like Beyoncé was performing. Cars everywhere: on the grass, on the curbs, people creating their own imaginary parking spaces. People circling like it was Black Friday. Absolutely not. We left with no backup plan and even less hope. Pulled up Yelp and I remembered that Dimassi's buffet had been on my radar for months, but was it open? Called them up and CHA-CHING!!! Money! They were open, guys. That phone call felt like hitting the lottery. Thanksgiving was saved. We arrived and Dimassi's was calm, clean, and the buffet bar was fully stocked with hot food fresh out of the kitchen. They had your Mediterranean favorites: dips, salads, gyro meat, dolma, chicken kabobs, saffron rice, the good garlicky toum, warm potatoes, fresh pita, everything. They even prepared a turkey for patrons who wanted some. Wow. They understood the assignment. Now a couple things could be tweaked. I like my baba ganoush served warm...and maybe they could have had some lamb options? But, honestly? For a buffet on Thanksgiving at $23 a person ($9 for the 3 yr old with us), they delivered HARD. Dimassi's didn't just feed us...they rescued us from the Golden Corral Hunger Games. Thank you for being open. Thank you for coming through in the clutch. You saved Thanksgiving.

I'd been wanting to check this place out for quite some time. There's another location in Round…read moreRock, but many reviewers said the original spot is much better, so we decided to start with the OG location. Parking is plentiful right in front of the restaurant. We came by on a Saturday around 1 PM, worried it might be packed, but it was actually pretty quiet. You can sit anywhere you like, grab a plate, and pay when you're done. The space is large and open, with three full rows of food and drinks plus a dedicated station for fruit and desserts. Everything was fresh, not overly salty, and there were plenty of options. My favorites were the hummus with eggplant (so flavorful with great texture), the salad and cucumber salad (fresh and refreshing), the dolma (perfectly done), gyro (tender and tasty), baked cauliflower (so good), fried chicken (juicy, crispy, and not salty), falafel (extra crunchy), and the lentil soup (simple but delicious). And don't miss their coffee at the checkout--it has a hint of warm spice and is the perfect finish after a meal. Surprisingly, I ended up loving the vegetable dishes even more than the meats. Overall, yes, $26 per person is on the higher side (what doesn't cost these days, right?!), but it's a great spot to try a variety of Mediterranean dishes that are fresh, simply seasoned, and let the ingredients shine--perfect whether you're new to the cuisine or just want a bit of everything.
