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!

They have this good deal 1 meat + 3 sides for $12.99 🙌🏼 The food is great in here! Lamb shank and beef kebab are my best options 👌🏼

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

The BEST Mediterranean in the city! Served cafeteria style, you meander down the line and pick from the freshest hummus, salads, and meats in all of Houston. Don’t pass up the free bread!

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.

I had the lamb shank at Aladdin Mediterranean Grill, and it was fantastic! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the almond rice complemented it perfectly. I can’t wait to try more dishes here!

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]
