Waitress act like she couldn't or didn't know how to take the order.... I asked for a gyro sandwich with feta cheese add fries instead of rice and I got gyro meat on top of fries I got it to go something told me to look it the box before I return to work. Went back in to ask so it doesn't come on pita bread this heffa got a attitude and said you wanted a kids meal I was so mad but being 7 months pregnant I just let it go and said NEVER AGAIN and she didn't even have on a mask 😔

This is a great little Mediterranean restaurant! For appetizers, me and my family had the hummus, which tasted great! I had the Kifta (lamb) Kabob platter as the main meal, and it was delicious. The lamb was great quality and it had decent flavoring. The platter was served with vegetables and a bed of rice, which was a nice touch. For dessert, me and my family split a tiramisu, which was surprisingly good for a Mediterranean restaurant. Service was also good in this restaurant. Overall, this is a solid restaurant to grab some Mediterranean food.

Our food was excellent. We decided to try the Halum Cheese appetizer which we never had before. We both found it to be a little on the salty side but otherwise kind of tasteless. I had the Gyro Platter the meat was tender and flavorful. I did have to ask for extra tzatziki though as it came with just a small dish. My dining partner loved his creamy mushroom dish also. Our wonderful dinner was spoiled, however, by the fraudulent bank transactions that came immediately after our dinner was paid for here.. so beware!! That is why I gave only 3 stars.
(Price per person was NOT $50-100... Google really

I visited on a Friday at noon, ordering a large greek salad and hummus. It was very quiet, even on a Friday at noon.
The hummus was a standard, good hummus. But the greek salad was lacking. Forgive me for the lack of specificity, but it was missing "something," It was lacking in flavor compared to the other Greek salads I've enjoyed. It definitely needed more feta, and more flavor. There were a few minor problems with our bill, but they were easily remedied.
Compared to the other excellent Mediterranean options available in our city, I would recommend selecting another option

We were just leaving KU Med and wanted some good local food. Being Mediterranean food fans we saw this little gem and stopped. We couldn't have been happier! Hit the spot! The prices are reasonable and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the lovely Fall weather.
Very delicious and fresh food! We say stop here!

Aladdin has went downhill for me. The last two times I've been here the food quality has gone downhill. This place was a solid neighborhood staple for me for years but I can't justify spending money on this anymore. Not pictured in this review is the cooked to death chicken my gf received. Completely inedible.

Food was okay, Kabob Combo was good beside the meat being dry. My wife ordered the Vegan option, The falafel and hummus combo, we ended up going back there 3 separate times to get are order corrected. Still the Falafel was super dry and the pita had blue spots on them. It's one of the very few local vegan restaurants in the city and is disappointing to see it's service decline

Aladdin's has my favorite hummus and house salad dressing in KC. Tip: you can order a cup-sized dressing to enjoy on your own salads. I also order the Grilled Shrimp Feta appetizer every time. The Curry Chicken and Roasted Cauliflower are favorites as well. It is one of my favorite places to pickup dinner after working late. Everything is consistently fresh, delicious and worth the price.

I ordered dinner from the Aladdin Cafe through 🚪 Dash. I've been trying new restaurants. Looking for something original and tasty. The food was all right but nothing to brag about. There was too much olive oil. The 🐔 was unrecognizable. Yes, the meal was 🔥 and safely packaged but not what I was expecting. The rice was the only good part.

Such good flavors. Really liked the shrimp and feta app (the veggies take the spices well too!) and the kefta kebab (lamb). The Sumac chicken is tender and good all rolled up with hummus in a soft pita. The hummus itself was ok, but I did like the spicy addition on top. The lentil soup was simple but satisfying: all really well seasoned.
Would love to go back and try at the actual restaurant, but the takeout was tasty!

I've always liked Aladdin quite a bit, but I feel like it's aging a little poorly to be honest.
Over the years, their prices have shot up, particularly on their sandwiches. I like their Gyro with hummus, but it's now over the $10 mark, as are the vegetarian alternatives that I occasionally order. They do come with a lentil soup or a Greek salad, but the salad last time was about one and a half bites worth of lettuce.
The past few times, the pita was super dry and the sandwiches were lacking a bit. Not bad, just not that great.

Food is very good and flavorful. Tonight I ordered 3 Aladdin's platters. Online listed as $16.99. I go to pick up my order and I am surprised to see they are $24.99 each. the woman says they need to update their website but This has been an issue for a while. Again very good food but issues like this are not that great.

Now Westport does not have a shortage of restaurants, but if you're hankering for some Mediterranean grub then Aladdins may hit the spot.
The food itself was decent: my table got the hummus as an appetizer ( super creamy with lots of tahini ). I also got the dill chicken sandwich ( which is comes in a pita). You get one side with your sandwich ( either lentil soup or a side salad). The salad was drowning in dressing (a dill-citrus dressing that was pretty overpowering & bitter in large mouthfuls). They put that same dressing on the sandwich , but thankfully not as much.
I would give

Went in for dinner and ordered "Zatar" (Lebanese herbs over pita bread) & "Falafel" for appetizers which was both really good , highly recommend it.
For main course we ordered the "Shawarma platter" which had real flavorful chicken over grilled veggies and pita bread with a side of cucumber mint yoghurt sauce and "Chicken kabob platter" which had juicy skewered chicken with rice over a tomato sauce, grilled vegetables and a mint cucumber yoghurt sauce by the side.
They have excellent service and the items are priced apt.

I've gone to Aladdin for many years with my family. I can always count on them being consistent in flavor with their dishes! Their hummus and sandwiches are our some of our favorite dishes! Additionally, their Greek salad is just amazing -- I don't know how they make their dressing, but love it! We usually get their lentil soup on the side as well. Highly recommend Aladdin's for Mediterranean cuisine!

I ordered the gyro sandwich and a side Greek salad. Now I would be giving this place 5 stars but am not for two reasons.
1. The portion of the side salad was humorous. I paid 3 dollars for 3 bites of a Greek salad, I did get it to go so would be interested to see if the fine is was a more appropriate side.
2. Maybe its just me but I love tzatiki sauce and the gyro sandwich lacked in sauce, so wish it would have just had more.
The food was delicious and I will definitely be back when I'm wanting Greek food.
