    I have not been here in 20 years and it is still open so thought I would go back. The inside has not changed at all but it is decorated nice. This place is like a landmark here in Fredericksburg. The staff is friendly. I ordered a 14 steak and cheese sub with fries and my daughter ordered a veggie sub. My son ordered the grape leaves. The food is alright but not better than other places. I was hoping it would be better but it wasn't.

    While visiting Fredericksburg, VA we stumbled upon this unsuspecting gem. Don't let the modest building deter you, the owners have been serving up Greek food for more than 30 years! The interior is a little dated but I found it quaint, cozy and welcoming. On this particular evening the owners were there and served us . What a treat! Sophia was classy, sassy and made you feel like family. She entertained us with stories of growing up in Greece while her husband prepared our meals. She was very attentive and fast with refills. The bathroom was in the back and it seemed like you were going the wrong way or in their private area. It reminded me of a lot of local family restaurants in South America and Europe and I didn't mind. I ordered the gyro platter which came with tzatziki sauce , a Greek salad and fries. Everything was delicious and the homemade tzatziki sauce was the best I have ever had! I found the price reasonable and the portion sizes good. I told Sophia I would be visiting Athens and the islands in Greece in the fall and she proceeded to ask me about my trip , tell me I paid too much and make me promise her I would call her the next time so she can best advise me on the best deals . I loved the family atmosphere and hospitality. We had a great dining experience here. Momma Sophia and her husband are the best!

    Parthenon was delicious! Sometimes Greek food can be hit or miss and this restaurant was definitely a hit. It seemed like the two people running the restaurant were an old married couple. They were super sweet and were extremely attentive to what we needed including extra plates or silverware. We got the spanakopita for an appetizer and split mousaka (eggplant and potatoes with ground beef in a bed of sauce). We also got the baklava which was one of the best bakalava's I've ever had. Highly recommend!

    After seeing so many positive reviews, we decided to give this place a try. As soon as you walk in you have an immediate feeling you stepped into the set of "Big Fat Greek Wedding"! Family run business and soon you are made to feel like one of them. Sophia talked to us for quite awhile about how she came to open the restaurant 40 years ago! So we both decided to order the gyro platter. We took some baklava to go! Let's just say we will be back! Oh, will probably order the pizza too cause that looked and smelled wonderful!

    I have been coming here since I was a child, and I still love this place. When I was a kid I used to call it "The Cozy Place" and that's still what I call it! I love the family that runs it, the service is great and welcoming, and the food is delicious! Don't miss trying this place at least once!

    Try the Sophia's sampler platter. She'll make it and bring it to you! The spanakopita are great, too.

    Aladin Mediterranean Kitchen - Fredericksburg, VA…read more My visit to Aladin Mediterranean Kitchen was delicious and definitely worth the stop! I ordered the Greek Salad with Gyro, the Traditional Hummus, and the Steak Panini -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared beautifully. Our waitress did start off on the wrong foot, and I honestly considered deducting a star. But everyone has a bad day, and to her credit, she returned to our table with a smile and gave us great service for the rest of the meal. I truly appreciated the turnaround. Overall, the food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the dining experience ended on a high note. I'd absolutely come back!

The restaurant offers an expansive menu with a lot of variety. I'd recommend staying focused on the Mediterranean specialties. I had the spicy hummus which was smooth and came with a side of olive oil, and the falafel platter--served with rice, tahini, and fresh vegetables--hit the right notes for a traditional meal. While also offer items like pizza, pasta, etc. The service was a highlight; both the staff and the fellow guests at the bar were incredibly welcoming and friendly. It's the kind of place where the people make you feel right at home. In terms of value, the pricing is very fair for the portion sizes and quality of the food. Unfortunately, the evening was dampened by a persistent, unpleasant sewage smell throughout the bar area. It was significant enough to make the dining experience difficult and overshadowed what would have otherwise been a very pleasant meal. #Enjoygoodpeople

Faris took time to tell us about the menu and recommended an amazing grill combo! We had grilled lamb chops, chicken,koftah, rice, side salad, fresh pita, and salsas. Two of us couldn't finish it all! The flavors were amazing! I really enjoyed the lentil soup we had with our hummus starter. The soup came out the perfect temperature. Not too hot not too cold legit just right! I had the shai which was delicious! Black tea with spices. And Faris was kind enough to give us each a sample of the shai adani , black tea with condensed milk and spices. I'll for sure order a cup next time. Think chai latte flavor! The restaurant itself is very nice inside and there's an outdoor patio as well! We will for sure be back!

They pre charge you for the tip which was okay if the service was worth it, not even water was served only a small bottled for 9 people we had to ask every time for water, the waitress even forget about bringing the check, we had to walk to the cashier to pay! Our I'll was around $277, the food cost $198 only the rest was added tax, Tip, and transaction fees !!! Which was the first time I see that! Overall I will not recook it!!

    I have to say, after my first review about four months ago, this place has definitely changed. I'm…read morenot sure if it's under new management, new staff, or a different cook, but things are not the same. The once generous portions have shrunk down to something similar to Chipotle-sized servings. The staff, who used to be delightful, now seem less friendly, and the food just doesn't have the same flavor. Last week, I called to place an order, and they were out of rice. A few days later, I tried again, and when I picked up my food, I noticed the portion size had significantly decreased. Today, I tried to place an order at 7:30 pm for pickup at 8:30 pm, well within their posted store hours of 9:00 pm. The gentleman on the phone informed me that they couldn't prepare my order because they close at 8:20 pm. When I mentioned that their posted closing time was 9:00 pm, he explained that although they close at 9:00 pm, the kitchen shuts down by 8:30 pm, and I needed to pick up my food before then. I had already requested my order at 7:30 pm, well within their timeline, so this was frustrating. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my business back to Kabob Corner in Fredericksburg or Stafford.
