I was very hesitant to try this place since I'm not usually a big fan of Mediterranean food, but I'm so glad I did. It completely changed my perspective! The concept is great, it's a fast, cafeteria-style setup that makes ordering quick and easy without sacrificing quality. The food was fresh, flavorful, the portions were very generous, and the Persian salad was especially delicious. Overall, it's an easy 10/10. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try, even if Mediterranean food isn't usually your first choice! read more

The lamb shank is so good. I love the variety of food also. The other day I came by after work and was having a frustrating day and they were so patient and sweet. Great service. read more

I ordered online but this was honestly some of the best food I've had. I loved everything! The Lebanese salad was probably my favorite part...or maybe the lamb meat balls! I can't wait to come back and dine here (: read more

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill is a fun spot to try out. I love their options of salads and hummus & meat. They do cook the meat when you order so it'll take 10-15 mins for it to cook. I love that! They're helpful. I will say it's cafeteria style to carry your tray and the staff will carry your plate to the register for you so it's not too bad. I enjoyed the cucumber salad, roasted cauliflower and seasoned beef kabob. It's a nice place to enjoy Mediterranean food. read more

Absolutely one of my favorite place. This location is great when I am near by and always has great service. It's a very nice clean and calm experience. The food is just fabulous. I don't think I've tried anything I haven't liked. The pita bread is their best feature, especially with their spicy hummus. read more

Yesterday was my first time eating at Aladdin Mediterranean restaurant. My friends recommended it and specifically this one in the Heights. Because the one in Montrose doesn't have many parking space. I have seen the logo on the building all the time but never set foot at the restaurant. I was quite surprised to taste the food here. The flavors were perfect for my palate. Especially the hummus. I ordered the roasted something and the server added oil and topping to make it more pleasant. The pita bread was excellent. Server heated up a little bit and it tasted so fresh. I wish I had more time to get another order of pita bread. I didn't care about the sweet flavored sauce on the fish, although the snapper was fresh and delicious. My combo came with 3 sides. I wish I could order more sides. But I ran out of time. The grape leaves were flavorful and not as sour as I expected. Cucumber salad with kind of bland. I think that's how Mediterranean food tastes. Now, it was my first time trying and it won't be my last time. Because I'm hooked on this delicious Mediterranean food. read more

Food always fresh and hot, plenty of seating. If you order kaftia grilled lamb meat, it comes in less than 10 minutes because it's made after you order. The employee friendly and fast. The atmosphere kind family. They have huge salad bar to choose from Lebanese Tabbouleh, Muhammara, Baba Ghanoush, and saffron rice, cooked lamp soup, fried vegetables if you vegan such as eggplant and beans. For dessert Baklava. There meals always comes with three pieces of pita bread made daily and toast for your liking. read more

Staff was not very friendly except for one woman with a long braid, who was quite warm. The staff who helped me patronized me when I said it was my first time. The bread, though tasty, was raw in the middle. The saffron rice tasted microwaved. The steak kabob was good! Interior was clean and nice. Overall, fine, but if you want Mediterranean I would go to Fadi's. read more

Came in around lunch time with my coworkers. They weren't busy so we were able to order and get a table very quickly. All of their staff is very nice and welcoming. I ordered the plate with 4 sides and no meat. I had the Lebanese salad, it was fresh, crunchy, and delicious. The caramelized onion hummus was so good! My coworkers and I all loved their pesto orzo salad, its perfection. The fried lemon pepper okra was also really good, it wasn't oily and the flavor was nice. I really enjoyed the food, but I that for it having been a vegetarian plate $15.99 was a little pricey. Regardless, it was pretty worth it and I'll definitely be back to try their kebabs. read more

I don't know if this is an Uber Eats issue or with the restaurant, but I ordered $150 worth of food and had it delivered to a near by hospital to feed family that was there. Food arrived with no utensils or plates. Kind of insulting to know they have no way to eat the food.. read more

Hey I love Alladin Mediterranean. It's literally all I eat. I normally go to the westheimer location where the food is very delicious and customer service is amazing. Every time I go to the westheimer location I feel like a million bucks. Really great people at the westheimer location. I recently started coming to the 1737 W 34th St Houston, TX 77018 location and I have to say customer service is horrible. It's so bad to the point I don't want to come back here ever again. I only came to this location to save time whenever I'm closer but now I think it will be best to just drive to the westheimer location. Food is great at both locations but customer service and how you make customers feel is very important. Times are pretty hard right now you would think these restaurants would be grateful for your business. Also lots of restaurants are dropping rapidly and I bet customer service plays a big role. I think I been to this location 4-5 times and they completely ran me away. Don't come here go to westheimer for a better experience for sure. read more

This is a great place for a quick meal with fantastic food. On your first trip, it can be helpful to preview everything offered before making any choices. I always have the problem that everything looks tempting and then I've filled my plate before I'm halfway through the line. read more

This is a great place if you are vegetarian or just not sure what you want to eat. The service is great. I had some questions about certain dishes and everyone was very helpful. The mash potato ball is a must! It is a crowd pleaser. If you are not one to be adventurous when it comes to food then, you probably shouldn't ask me. However, I am going to tell you anyway. The eggplant and pomegranate side was a pleasant orchestration. I wasn't sure about the two ingredients together at first but, they married beautifully. read more

As good as best hummus, the best baba ganoush, the best falafel I've ever had. The quality of the meat mixed grill was exemplary and cooked to perfection. Seriously! Everything is prepared in the classic traditional style with an emphasis on quality. Man! Was that a good meal! read more

Cafeteria style with a set menu of options .there are vegan options and a wide range of Mediterranean options. The food is consistently good.. located in a strip entree there is ample parking. The restaurant is large. Avoiding as crowded feel. The service is self. Carry a tray seat yourself. Reason ably priced. read more

Great food and service! We loved the potato side, pasta salad, rice, chicken and tzaziki sauce. Everything was delicious. I wish we had this place back home in Iowa, we would be there often! read more

The service here was just ok but the food was all around great! I ordered the chicken kebabs and for sides I had hummus, saffron rice and orzo salad. The chicken was moist and the sauce it came with was a great pairing. I tried some of their tzatziki sauce as well but wasn't a huge fan. All of the side options I ate had great flavor. I also really enjoyed the fresh pita bread that came with the meal. The portions are large and I wish they offered smaller portions for a cheaper price but that's my only complaint if I had one. I will return! read more

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - 1 Entree and 3 Sides - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Always a fan of Mediterranean food! I love the variety here and it almost reminded me of Fadi's, only just a smaller version of it. The fresh pita was so soft and fluffy! They had so many veggie options, I really didn't know what to pick. I ended up getting the snapper, one of their salads, and some hummus. They did forget to give me my snapper for some odd reason. And while I thought it was supposed to come out at the table, I realized they were supposed to hand it to me... oops! Regardless, I did enjoyed dining here. I definitely would come back to try other protein options! Everything looked so good! read more

Family in town for Christmas weekend and it's one of those nights where we don't feel like cooking anything. My sister and her husband were in the mood for Indian food. While this isn't indian, I mentioned it was close by and had mediterranean eats that appealed to us (kabobs, hummus, etc.). After looking at the menu, they were sold. So we put in an order of the following before I headed out to pick up: -Spicy Chipotle Chicken Kabob w/ Spicy Hummus & Roasted Cauliflower -Ground Beef Kafta Kabob w/ Chargrilled Veggies & Baked Mashed Potato Ball -Fish Platter w/ Tzatziki Dip, Chargrilled Veggies & Orzo Salad For the items ordered, everything and I mean EVERYTHING was delicious! Both kabobs were tender and flavorful; we also loved the chargrilled veggies as they had that char and smokiness which I enjoy. The orzo salad and roasted cauliflower were tasty. I enjoyed the fish and found it tender and succulent mixed in the tomato veggie broth. And the tzatziki dip, OMG, one of the best sauces you'll eat. We dipped our veggies and complimentary pita in it like no tomorrow. Tzatziki dip is one of the most underrated sauces/dips ever. Every restaurant should serve it; you could put it on a shoe and I'd still eat it! We also got some chocolate baklava and walnut baklava, both excellent desserts for a fitting meal. Side Note: As I arrived at the restaurant, I got a call that they had sold the last of the fish and it would take another 15 minutes to prep another one. I decided to wait while they cooked up another fish for me. I did get a bit agitated since I was on a time constraint due to my sister's kids so I'm trying to be patient. They call me back and tell me everything is ready but to wait outside. One of the employees comes out and brings me the food all packaged nicely and gave us some complimentary desserts for our troubles. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry, I can't tell you how much I appreciated the gesture and their attempts to make things right which they did. No doubt they've won me over and this won't be my last visit here! read more

The food is always amazing here. The variety is great and the food is fresh. More than that the staff is so friendly and kind. My son dropped his entire meal off his tray and they were extremely kind about cleaning it up and helping us get another serving right away. We will definitely be back, and I will definitely carry my kid's tray next time! read more

I was in the area and wanted to get healthy food. I chose the four veggie plate. It's $14.99. I think the competitor's is lower at $13. I don't know if you can get half portions of the veggies so you can try more items. You get two pieces of fresh-baked pita bread. The tabbouli and rice were good. I actually like to mix them. The hummus lacked something, perhaps lemon? Hummus is easy to make. It only has garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic and lemon. I can't quite pinpoint what this hummus lacked. I got tahini sauce for the cauliflower. It's a good complement. I noticed they have other versions of hummus. Fresh juices are available close to the cash register. I find that $14.99 for a veggie plate is a bit much. read more

Legit, a little spendy, but worth it! So I was (as usual) being super indecisive... do I want pizza? Nah... Vietnamese?... nah... tacos? Nah... Mediterranean? Ok! So I came in and it wasn't super busy. Kind of a strange set up. It's basically a cafeteria style ordering process. You grab a tray and walk down the line telling them what you want. The young girl who helped me out basically decided what I was going to order because I couldn't decide lol... She was awesome and so were her choices. I ended up getting steak and chicken kabobs along with yellow rice, hummus, pasta salad and a baked potato. The potato was crusted and unlike a potato I've ever had. My order came with some really good bread also which was a nice surprise. Overall the place has some great decorations and is super clean. Workers were all really cool. Loved everything about this experience. read more

BEST GARLIC SAUCE. Also, BEST ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, in my opinion. I need to qualify that: best unseasoned roasted cauliflower. Consistently. The kitchen produces many other dishes, hot & cold. Service and setting align well with the cuisine. No complaints. My only slight deviation is parking, but I think the location is a busy spot (so it can't be helped much) read more

Got some veggie sides. I believe they don't have wheat bread. Their white bread is good but very small if you compare it to Fadi's etc so that was a bummer. Food's taste was a lack luster. Saffron rice was just missing something. Their fried cauliflower was good though. They also don't carry any Falafel or veggie wraps which was also disappointing to hear. Probably our first and last time here. read more

Great ! Fresh & Tasty Is an understatement Food was amazing ! The juiciest Steak and Chicken Kabobs ! Bread fresh made daily ! Service out of this world ! i felt home ! I always complain how informal restaurants don't keep up with traffic and are not clean ! this please was 10/10 even the restrooms ! Truly a gem 60 usd 3 people and we were stuffed ! Will do the 40min Drive ( Im located in Kingwood ! but i will drive for this food ! ) read more

Foods great but be sure you look at the full spread before committing to your sides. Super confusing line. They have you order your plate with your meat first, but yet the kabobs are in the middle of all of the sides. For a flow standpoint this has got to be the worst I've ever seen. They need to reorganize the flow of how you pick stuff because the boring stuff is up front and the good stuff is at the end. If you've never been here before it's the most confusing experience and the lady slinging the food onto the plate is no help. read more

The establishment is very clean and all tables are spaced apart. The workers and service are great and friendly. The food is great. The only downside is if you want the skewered meat its a long wait time for it to cook. They do have a posted time to let you know itll take a while so I knew what I was expecting. They do have other ready to serve meat option but it didn't look that appealing to me. They are very generous of the portion which is awesome.. after checking out I sat down and started to eat my side dishes. I like veggies so i didn't mind eating it first. However halfway through finishing through half my plate the meat finally came out to my table. By this time I was almost full and since the meet was fresh i had a couple of bites and took the rest to go. My favorite was the roasted cauliflower. The quality of food is great and I will be returning. Let me tell you a good advice I got from reading other yelp review and I was excited I could exercise that options. If you like to try a variety of things, you can split your side portion. I.e. you order 1 meat 3 sides. 1 of the sides can be split into 2 smaller portion and the others are 2 full side portion. So you have meat + 2 half size side portion + 2 full side portion. So in theory you can have up to 6 half size sides. read more

Love this place. So happy to have some food from other countries in our neighborhood ( besides, of course, Mexican). Been eating here ever since they opened. Portions are large. In particular, we really like the saffron chicken kebab and the eggplant, pomegranate dip is absolutely amazing! Their pita bread is delicious too. Samosas are very good but tiny and expensive. read more

This is my second time coming here my first order was a pick up so I didn't really get to experience the customs service. My second time I went in to order bigggg mistake. They pretty much ignored me when I walked in for them to be rude my whole order the cashier didn't ask if I wanted anything to drink or anything else in that fact. The only reason I brought that up is because everybody after me he offered and was very nice. Maybe because everybody after me was . And got their food before me. I will not be going back. read more

We came back again. It was just as good. I need to come back here more often. Delicious food, reasonable pricing, good service.

I love Aladdin and this was my first time at this particular location. The food was just as good as the other spot and the parking here I gotta say is the best part. I got my usual hummus and beef but was struggling on my other two sides. The lady behind the counter was waiting for me to decide between cauliflower, rice, and pasta salad and ended up giving me all three options for no extra charge. I was so thankful and happy that she did that. My only complaint that I had here was cleanup was a little slow. We needed a bigger table to sit our bigger party and the one long table in the back was empty but was full of dirty dishes. We ended up putting two tables together to accommodate our group. read more

Aladdin gives me Mediterranean "Piccadilly's" vibes! The menu layout is set up for you to pick you meal and then follow the line and select your food choices. There are several tasty options to choice and they also make fresh pita and fresh fruit juices (I love the house blend)! I always get the pasta salad, cucumber salad and switch up meats sometimes. I love the baklava as well. I've hand the lamb and it was ok, which sucks because I love lamb. I've tried the red fish and it wasn't tasty to me at all. Overall it is very clean and efficient in service. Good spot for lunch or late dinner. Check it out for yourself when you're in the area. read more

We've heard a lot of good things about their other location and saw this place and whipped in. We decided to get our own plates. WE should have shared a plate. My wife got the kafta kabob and roasted cauliflower and some type of salad, she splurged and got a side of samosas....these were different, tasted like they were wrapped in wonton wrappers. I went with the steak kabob and cucumber salad, grilled onion hummus and tabouleh. We shared everything and compared notes, we loved everything except the samosas. The rose water tea was too different so I went back to the regular unsweetened tea. read more
