By far the best restaurant in the area. Food is super fresh, cooked precisely and so tasty. I tried once and now I come back every week, sometimes twice for lunch. The staff is amazingly friendly and go above and beyond to serve you. Also the menu is super fairly priced, I’d say no better deal for healthy food around here.

So I had a little time before an appointment and had been wanting a Gyro and some falafel. Pulled up google maps to see where the appointment was and what do I find... Aladdin Cafe, pictures looked good, nice reviews, decided to give it a try. DANG GLAD I DID!! The gentleman there took great care of me, told me all about the food, except how much food I ordered, made suggestions, and even joked around a bit.
They brought out the Falafel appetizer first, should of brought a friend! Not those little balls you so often get, these were solid size, cooked perfectly throughout. Sauce was spot on, I usually get Taziki, but this was something different. Then the main event, a very good sized traditional Gyro, well seasoned, dressed, and garnished. OK, I'm getting hungry writing this.
If you're in the area, stop in, you won't be disappointed, and you'll likely be hooked. Anytime I find myself in the area, I'll be stopping by!

Falafel Plate
I’ll start by saying I’m extremely biased because I lived in the Detroit area for the past 17 years and DEARBORN is the Mediterranean and Lebanese holy land.
Aladdin cafe does a good job of introducing a new cuisine to Texans. It’s a good intro to the flavors, textures, presentation. But they lack the authenticity that I was expecting. I ordered the mixed grill with rice, fattoush, and falafel. Paid $32. Kinda pricey.
The falafel was mehh. Nothing too special. Good texture but needed more flavor.
The fattoush was a basic salad. Definitely needs more lemon juice, less red cabbage, more parsley. The dressing needs more vinegar.
The meats in the grill were good. Chicken and lamb tender. Ground beef seasoned well. The rice was bad. I was expecting the Lebanese vermicelli rice with toasted sliver of almond. It’s more like rice a roni. Oh and they didn’t give me pita bread with my entree. Disappointed! How am I supposed to make a shawarma with no bread??
All in all, Aladdin cafe is a good intro to Mediterranean food but I’ve had better. IMO. The place is super clean and smells great! I didn’t dine in but the service looked immaculate. Baklava looked good too. Try it out, come back and tell me what you think

This place is amazing. I wish I could give it more than 5 starts. The hummus and labneh was the best quality I've had in a long time. The pot of hot mint tea with the meal was just perfect. The lemon lentil soup was spectacular. The gyro plate and kabob plate were sublime. The food quality was very high and at a very reasonable price. The service was top notch. This will definitely be a regular spot for us.
