Aladdin Mediterranean Café in Texas

"My daughter and I just left here, and everything was superb! The hot honey hummus was amazing. My daughter isn’t much of a hummus fan, but she ate this up! We split the beef shawarma plate, which was more than enough food for the two of us. The beef, rice, and potatoes were sooo good. We’re stuffed and already can’t wait to come back! Our waitress was very kind, and made excellent recommendations. And the owner was also so kind and made sure we were happy with our food, even offering my daughter a small portion of regular hummus if the hot honey was too spicy (which wasn’t needed because she loved it). 10/10 recommend this place."

"My boyfriend and I came to this Mediterranean restaurant about a week and a half ago. The original gyro arrived looking mouth watering good. It had thinly sliced beef and lamb, expertly cooked to retain juiciness all while developing a crisp char. It came wrapped in a warm, lightly blistered pita. The richness of the meat, herbaceous tzatziki, with diced tomatoes and red onion added brightness and texture without overwhelming the dish. The accompanying basmati rice is aromatic and fluffy, and subtly seasoned. The beef kabob had tender cubes of beef that were grilled to a precise doneness, developing a caramelized exterior while remaining soft inside. Served alongside rice, roasted potatoes, and soft pita, the plate was definitely generous. The portions at Aladdin Mediterranean Cafe are satisfying, the flavors are clean, and overall, it was a great experience. This is Mediterranean cooking that values their customers and quality of service. I will definitely return to try their other dishes."

"We've been meaning to try this place for a while now and finally decided to have a lunch date here the other day. I love gyros, but she's new to Mediterranean cuisine. We definitely weren't disappointed. Both the gyro and chicken shawarma were delicious. The fries were better than the rice, but none of it was bad. Great food, friendly staff, and we'll definitely be back."

"This post from 5 years ago is still true today, so to the review I can add consistency as we still visit this place regularly and everything is still as delicious and good. “We loved this place so much, we go at least once a month and order to go. It is a family owned restaurant and the food is super fresh, made from scracht. The food is really good, homey and tasty, super delicious. All we have ordered has been great, would not change anything in the food. Our favorites are the shawarma (wrap), kibbeh, tabouleh, falafel, tabouleh, hummus and babaganush. We buy them all and share. The are others plates we want to try because they look really appetizing like the lamb chops, the pastisio and a melted cheese plate they offer, maybe on our next visit. The owners and the staff are super nice. On a busy night you may need to wait a little longer than usual, but the food is worth the wait. Really recommended this place. Hope you enjoy their food as much as we do.”"

"I wish every restaurant had amazing service like Aladdin! Every single staff member was so friendly and kind - especially our awesome server Hannah! Most other restaurants I go to- it’s a hit or miss- the server might be not so nice- but here- 10/10!!!! I got a chicken shawarma which was super tasty I loved the mayonnaise. The lemon soup was also so tasty and unique. Super recommend! I’d definitely come back in the future!"

"The food is incredible. This was the best gyro I have ever had. The Kanafeh was out of this world. Staff was very friendly and the seating was great. U am going to become a regular here for sure!"

"Came here to celebrate my birthday. Had lunch with my mom and Memaw and the food blew us away. So much flavor. Very authentic. Great speed to service as well. Highly recommend!"

"Has the combination Gyro + fries and I think it is one of the best gyro I've had yet. Great service and fresh food, will definitely come back sometime soon."
