We were wrapping up a conference held in Jackson, and the co-host recommended Aladdin to us. It was FABULOUS! My friend had lamb and I had the vegetarian plate. We both enjoyed our food. The service was SUPER fast! (But we did have time to savor the spinach pie appetizers!) I could barely slow down enough to take a photo of the vegetable plate (and yes, I had already taken a few bites). On the way to the airport, the Lyft driver asked where we all had eaten. He confirmed that Aladdin is excellent! So from residents of Jackson and from a briefly there visitor, this place is wonderful! read more

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - Vegetarian plate--with hummus, baba ganuj, tabouli, and (what used to be) two falafel. Plus some pita bread. SO GOOD!!! - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Been coming here for years, but only recently moved to review. Disappointed to learn no Jasmine is affiliated. Love the lamb wrap. Confused on how to gyro. Still delicious. Prices gone up a bit recently but that's inflation for you. Great service and good people run the business. read more

I've had dolmas from all over the country. From places like Kroger and Publix to authentic Greek, Turkish, Israeli, Lebanese, and Persian restaurants, they are my favorite food. It's not that I had high expectations for a place in Mississippi but when have you ever seen them this skinny, dry, and sad? Even kroger does better than this.... We ordered to go, everything else was good but this made my partner and I laugh so hard. Like little grape leaf cigars. Y'all c'mon now. read more

I'd never been here until today, even after countless recommendations from friends. I love this place! First, our service was amazing! Our waitress, Amanda, was so kind and attentive. We got our food quickly and it was warm and delicious. I got the Beef shawarma plate and I must say that that plate had the BEST hummus I've ever had and the beef was so well seasoned! I also had mint tea. It was nice and warm and the mint flavor was true mint! To end, I got baklava. It isn't a huge portion, but it is crispy and mildly sweet! While the plates may look small in pictures, there is a lot of food on the plate. Finally, I love the restaurant's vibe! There are pretty lights along the walls and the ceiling and the paintings on the walls are beautiful! I definitely will be back and recommend it to anyone, local or out of town, that enjoys Mediterranean food! read more

I love a great hole in the wall. Clearly this place has been around for a long time. I was seated and greeted promptly. When I couldn't choose between the chicken shawarma and the lamb chops, my server suggested a single chop as an appetizer. The chop was cooked perfectly and off a pretty decent side. Very tasty. The shawarma was underwhelming. When it was delivered to the table there was a lot of steam. I suspected that it had been heated in the microwave. Strange... it was barely warm. in any case, i found it a little dry. i did enjoy the mint tea. very strong and refreshing! read more

We were in town and popped in this hole in the wall that was transformed as soon as we stepped through the door. I'd say it's a hidden jump, but it seems like all the locals love it and frequent it! Everyone we crossed paths with was friendly knowledgeable, and perfect with service. The ambience is amazing with mood lighting and beautiful colors. Everything we ordered was fantastic! Chicken, Shawarma and gyro plate, and an extra side of grilled veggies. We had so much fun, our waitress treated us like old friends and showed off all the dishes that came through so we could get ideas for what we wanted to eat. Thanks for a great experience read more

The food is fresh and made to order. Their hummus is absolutely delicious! Staff is helpful and friendly. Restaurant is quaint and welcoming. We will definitely be going back! read more

The food was amazing. We had the lamb, hummus, naan and labneh. We will be back next time we are in the area!

Service was good. The lamb kabobs were more like lamb tips on top of rice and the lamb was overcooked for my preference. The warm pita with hummus was very good. I did enjoy a tasty serving of lentil soup. read more

The food, service and atmosphere is always amazing. This is a place that I frequent because I like the rule of byob. As always the restaurant was full of the local medical and student community hanging out after work. It reminds me of that cafe that all the residents went to in Greys anatomy. Food was great except when my soup came out it didn't have any lentils and it tasted as if water had been added to it. I sent it back. My suggestion would be to let the customer know if you're out of an item. Don't try to trick them and then feed them the remains. Some may take it as an insult to their intelligence, as I have. read more

Came here after long drive in for work and was not disappointed by the other reviews. The ambiance was no frills but the seating when you walk in was super inviting. Had the lentil soup to start that seemed too thin and pita to start. For the main party had chicken and gyro mixed and both were well seasoned and super tender moist to my liking lol. This place gets super busy i can tell and would come again! BYOB no booze here but couple next to my table brought their own wine. read more

I eat here about once or twice a year but this is a pre-birthday dinner so I decided to try something new. First off, service here is always fun. Almost every server I've ever had here has been a delight. They are efficient and knowledgeable of the menu and do their best to make each guest feel like family. Inside has not changed over the years. It's a nice spot with a Mediterranean vibe and decor. Not much to get excited about but who comes here to look at the decor anyway lol. They now serve breakfast and I couldn't be happier. I've never had Turkish coffee until I tried it here and it divine! I also tried the breakfast lamb kabob on pita and it was great. They use real eggs which was a plus! It had just the right amount of tzatziki that didn't overpower the lamb. read more

The lamb was delicious! I tried the hummus not a fan, but it's not because of how they did it. I just don't like hummus and it came with the meal and also the rice was good! The waiter was amazing! The place looked fabulous! read more

Original location a real go to place for great food vibe, excellent Greek food and friendly staff.

Fantastic Food, Service, and ambiance. It is a great place for families, and service with a smile!

Tonight was a bit of a let down. Although we were seated quickly (by an extremely polite guy) and our orders were brought quickly when asked if we needed anything else that was when the service slid down a few notches. I asked for more tahini and waited, and waited. Not wanting my food to get cold I ate all of the falafel I could but just stopped eating giving my husband the remainder. The bill was brought after our plates were removed and then the extra cup of tahini was brought and sat on our table. I was told, "it's yours, take it home, you paid for it." That was disappointing in itself because why would I want to take home a small cup of tahini? The falafel was hard, dry discs and I needed the tahini to make it where I could swallow it; with little flavor to boot. My husband said the chicken shawarma was good. I really wanted the meal to be good. The hummus and mint tea were both nice but for me that was all. Sadly this was enough to make me rethink why I liked it so much. read more

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Everything was delicious! We were just getting to Jackson,MS and were hungry. We stopped at a gas station and Aladdin was right next door. I watched people go in and out for about 10mins and immediately decided the food had to be good. I am so glad I followed my instincts!! The lamb was grilled to perfection!!! And Took a r recommendation from our waitress Deanna. By the way Deanna was the sweetest waitress!!! She let us move when I told her I was cold and she fought tooth and nail for my Sage tea . That is the only reason I rated them as a 4 instead of a 5 because I really wanted that Sage tea so let's just say they get a 4.8!!! If you are Jackson, MS come thru Aladdin's is delicious! read more

Had the chicken shawarma and their mint sweet tea. Best meal I have had in a long time.

Delicious food--would definitely go again! Our waitress was fantastic and brought out our youngest son's food as soon as it was ready. We didn't even ask her to do that! Very thoughtful. Also food was ready quick for our lunch time. All the staff was excellent. Doesn't look like much on the outside but it's restaurant worth checking out! read more

Wow! What a surprise! We haven't eaten here in a few months, and we were really disappointed. The prices have been raised, perhaps necessarily, but the quality of the food is substantially lower. As always, there's lots of food on the plate, but the flavor is gone. The falafel is dry and hard, the meats and shrimp are lacking in flavor. Even the salad lacks the flavors of the past. Takeout dinner for 2 tonight was $60 with tax and tip. Not worth it anymore. read more

Passing through Jackson enroute to the great solar eclipse of 2024 we found this little place near downtown Jackson and stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night. Seems to be popular with the locals and filled up soon after we arrived around 7p. My wife had the chicken shwarma and it was delicious. Served with pita bread, rice and a wonderful hummus. I opted for the kebab combination platter including chicken, lamb and beef and the same sides as the shwarma. Unfortunately this dish was not the same quality as the shwarma- meat was room temp and rather tough, and I had a hard time distinguishing which was lamb or beef. Notable is that they don't serve alcohol but they kindly referred me to the liquor and convenience stores next door who sell wine and beer and they happily allowed me to imbibe with no corkage fee. Would be 5 stars if not for the disappointment on the conbo plate. But definitely worth checking out for their other entrees. read more

Nice setting. Friendly staff and yummy food with a varied menu. Love Middle Eastern and this is a really good spot.

Love Aladdin. Fresh food and great service. The best Mediterranean in Jackson! Highly recommended.

YUM. The restaurant had good vibes, service was nice and food was amazing. Wish we lived in Jackson so we could come here more often!

Food was amazing! I got the beef kebab plate and the beef was cooked perfectly tender. My husband also got a turkish coffee, he really enjoyed it. The mint tea goes great with your meal during the colder weather. 10/10 would definitely recommend and will be sure to come back to try the breakfast. Exceptional customer service, we were in and out in less than an hour. read more

The place didn't look that attractive from outside. But since our friend recommended we decide to give a shot. The food was very tasty. Reasonable price. We got tiramisu they make here, it was one of the best I've ever tried. Dolma was basically rice , not much meat in it, but the plate had a lots of other tasty things to eat))) The yogurt drink was the pick of my joy. I had it in California and couldn't find it here in Jackson. So I was very surprised and happy. Very nice elderly woman waitress. The menu look so good, a lots of foods I use to eat in LA, CA. We will be definitely back 8 out of 10! read more

I became a regular on vacation and only stayed nearby two nights if that tells you how much I liked this place. Hummus is delicious, pita is warm and soft, entrees we're full of flavor. Chicken and Lamb were my favorites and I recommend you try all of the desserts. I did and couldn't choose a favorite!! read more

I first discovered Aladdin Mediterranean Grill on a trip to Jackson for a meeting back in 2013. The coordinator for the meeting brought us to Aladdin, and I was quite impressed with the quality of the food, the authenticity of the menu offerings, and the outstanding service and attention to detail. I worked in Northwest Mississippi for five years, and came frequently to the restaurant from2014-2919. Although I am assigned elsewhere these days, I still make every attempt to visit whenever I come into Jackson. The ambiance of the restaurant is homey and familiar, with a staff who are knowledgeable about their offerings, very attentive and approachable. They informed me that they are working on a larger location next door that they will move into soon. I imagine that the need for a larger space is nothing less than a sure sign that the restaurant and its adjacent Mediterranean grocery continues to thrive and exceed expectations. Will I continue to come back? OH YES, whenever I can!! read more

One of my go-tos in the Jackson area. The burger is honestly so good. The yea they have is some of the best I've ever had.

You just can't find flavorful food like this around the area. Service is great and it's a cozy atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable. I had the shakshuka and sage tea this time. Just really enjoyed everything about this visit. read more

Just ate here for the first time today and had some breakfast. The atmosphere was really cool and the server was very friendly. I ordered the Turkish coffee and the shakshuka. I have eaten food from all over but that dish was one of my favorites. The pita bread was nice and warm, the spices in the dish were great. I would prefer a little more heat but it was still great. This might be my new favorite place in the area, can't wait to go back. read more

YES PLEASE! Traveling alone (business) I wanted "finger food" type dinner. I went with the hummus dip, spinach pie & added a meet option.... lamb and beef. Now I'm thinking I'm going to use the pita wraps ... smear on the hummus & add the meat folded up & have a wrap! I had it delivered to my hotel & it was FAST & fresh! (I ordered through YELP - grub-hub) it was here in 25 minutes. (I am really close to the restaurant) The spinach pie order comes with 2 - I couldn't help myself & ate one before the picture. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Stuffed FULL & the dip - OMG! Enjoy! read more

Visited this place on our way to Alabama. We were searching for a halal place and this Mediterranean restaurant had good reviews so we stopped here. Tried the gyro, beef kabob, chicken shawerma and lentil soup. Loved everything. So glad we decided to try this. A must if you are in the Jackson area. read more
