What People Are Saying About Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine

In Short – This casual Mediterranean restaurant welcomes diners with exotic decor and varied Middle Eastern items. Peruse the menu on the wall for shawarmas, kebabs, falafels and sandwiches as well as combo dishes, dips, salads and varied vegetarian options. At lunchtime, business diners pack the small tables for the buffet and pita baked fresh in a brick oven. Service is mostly do-it-yourself, but staffers are polite and efficient. Desserts are worth a try.

Houston's Best Mediterranean Restaurant

by ManiKnowsBest

This place is delicious :) I've been eating here everyday this past month since I started working at Texas Children's Hospital. The great part about them is that you get healthy food quickly and at an acceptable price. They also have the best Rice Pudding I have ever had!

Good Arabic food

by HadiMama

Honestly, Ive been here for 2 yrs (in houston) and ive always been too scared to go into this place, bc i judged it from the outside. Too bad i wasted 2 yrs not eating here, bc they served some good, clean delicious food. It's reasonably priced, and just good eating. I ate some pasta which i am craving right now as i type. Salad, mashed potatoes and some delicious lamb that was very tender and succulent.

I will definitely return again.

  • Pros: delicious, clean food
  • Cons: ugly store on the outside!
