Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - Garden Oaks

As a fan of Mediterranean food, I had a positive dining experience at this restaurant. The variety of dishes was impressive, reminding me of Fadi's but on a smaller scale. The fresh pita was a highlight - so soft and fluffy! I had a hard time deciding with all the vegetarian options, eventually settling on the snapper, a salad, and some hummus. Unfortunately, my snapper never arrived, but the restaurant seems to have forgotten rather than messed up the order intentionally. Regardless of the mix-up, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back to try more of their offerings. The presentation was lovely, and I'm eager to explore their other protein options on my next visit. Everything else looked so delicious!

I was in the area and wanted to get healthy food. I chose the four veggie plate. It's $14.99. I think the competitor's is lower at $13. I don't know if you can get half portions of the veggies so you can try more items. You get two pieces of fresh-baked pita bread. The tabbouli and rice were good. I actually like to mix them. The hummus lacked something, perhaps lemon? Hummus is easy to make. It only has garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic and lemon. I can't quite pinpoint what this hummus lacked. I got tahini sauce for the cauliflower. It's a good complement. I noticed they have other versions of hummus. Fresh juices are available close to the cash register. I find that $14.99 for a veggie plate is a bit much.

Family in town for Christmas weekend and it's one of those nights where we don't feel like cooking anything. My sister and her husband were in the mood for Indian food. While this isn't indian, I mentioned it was close by and had mediterranean eats that appealed to us (kabobs, hummus, etc.). After looking at the menu, they were sold. So we put in an order of the following before I headed out to pick up:-Spicy Chipotle Chicken Kabob w/ Spicy Hummus & Roasted Cauliflower-Ground Beef Kafta Kabob w/ Chargrilled Veggies & Baked Mashed Potato Ball-Fish Platter w/ Tzatziki Dip, Chargrilled Veggies & Orzo SaladFor the items ordered, everything and I mean EVERYTHING was delicious! Both kabobs were tender and flavorful; we also loved the chargrilled veggies as they had that char and smokiness which I enjoy. The orzo salad and roasted cauliflower were tasty. I enjoyed the fish and found it tender and succulent mixed in the tomato veggie broth. And the tzatziki dip, OMG, one of the best sauces you'll eat. We dipped our veggies and complimentary pita in it like no tomorrow. Tzatziki dip is one of the most underrated sauces/dips ever. Every restaurant should serve it; you could put it on a shoe and I'd still eat it! We also got some chocolate baklava and walnut baklava, both excellent desserts for a fitting meal.Side Note: As I arrived at the restaurant, I got a call that they had sold the last of the fish and it would take another 15 minutes to prep another one. I decided to wait while they cooked up another fish for me. I did get a bit agitated since I was on a time constraint due to my sister's kids so I'm trying to be patient. They call me back and tell me everything is ready but to wait outside. One of the employees comes out and brings me the food all packaged nicely and gave us some complimentary desserts for our troubles. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry, I can't tell you how much I appreciated the gesture and their attempts to make things right which they did. No doubt they've won me over and this won't be my last visit here!

Good food, good service. Nice clean dining area, if a bit loud because of the concrete floors.

I love this places . The food was delicious. The restaurant was clean and homey. I definitely recommend everything on the menu, it's a hidden gem!!!!! Don't sleep on it!!! And the prices are pretty affordable and VERYYYY big portions! Will definitely come back !!!

Food is excellent! However, service is very mediocre. I came to pick up a to go order and the lady at the front was faithfully on her phone looked up at me continued to text. I waited for about five minutes until she put her phone down and said, can I help you. As the person in the front of a business you should prioritize customers over your phone...

Really good food and fast service. Only wish there were moreoptions for sides. Bread was so soft and yummy!

The food is served cafeteria style with plenty of great choices. We each looked at our servings and realized immediately that we would have plenty for the next day at home. Good value.

The cauliflower here is amazing! So good! Portions are great, everyone here is very friendly, everything I've tried is delicious.

Always a fan of Mediterranean food! I love the variety here and it almost reminded me of Fadi's, only just a smaller version of it. The fresh pita was so soft and fluffy! They had so many veggie options, I really didn't know what to pick. I ended up getting the snapper, one of their salads, and some hummus. They did forget to give me my snapper for some odd reason. And while I thought it was supposed to come out at the table, I realized they were supposed to hand it to me... oops! Regardless, I did enjoyed dining here. I definitely would come back to try other protein options! Everything looked so good!
