    While their Shawarma Sandwich shines, it's their Lamb Shank that steals the show. It's no surprise this dish is their strong suit. Perfectly seasoned and pairs beautifully with their aromatic spices.

    If you're a fan of lamb, look no further than Aladdin's Houston. Their Lamb Shank is the epitome of Middle Eastern comfort food, falling-off-the-bone tender and bursting with rich flavors.

    Everyone talks about the amazing brick oven baked pita bread, kabobs, and the variety of hummus(pictured). Try the Chicken Meatballs dish! The gravy-like stew was delicious. Just ask for a sample!

    Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine serves comfort food for a slightly more continental crowd, one who craves hummus and pita bread with a chicken shawarma sandwich. It's also BYOB! Read more

    I always get the lamb kabob with almond rice and baba ghanoush, and it’s heaven every single time. The portions are huge, and the quality is unmatched. Great spot for a quick lunch or relaxed dinner.”

    Nice layout, food good but over priced and pretentious. Staff helpful but not engaging and overall the restaurant assumed that because of the price it was a top class venue.

    The Fresh Salads, especially the Tabuli and Greek Salad, were refreshing and served as a lovely complement to the hearty entrees. The ingredients were clearly fresh, and the salads were well-seasoned.

    Cafeteria-style, super friendly staff, pitas hot out of their giant oven, cheap, shawarma that's awesome and BYOB. Did we mention the fresh made pitas? Yeah, those are the best ever. [Eater 38 Member]
