Aladdin Cafe: Dive into Exquisite Mediterranean Flavors

I had ordered catering from Aladdin Cafe for a group of friends before, so I knew they were great. I wanted to take my wife here. We had an engagement right down the street so this was the perfect time. We had the grape leaves, hummus, tabouli and kifta plate. It was all great! We both agreed the hummus is among the best we've ever had. We prefer it to be tahini heavy (rather than garlic or spices) and this one is. It's creamy and perfect. Beautifully presented! The tabouli was HUGE! I wish they had a half portion. It was too much for 2 of us. But absolutely delicious! The grape leaves were good, but nothing special. The kifta plate was excellent!! Wonderful ground beef mixture and just what one expects with this classic dish. Steamed vegetables and rice with a mousses on top were a perfect complement to the beef. Service was quick and efficient. Glad we went early as the neighborhood gem fills up quickly on a Friday night. 5 stars. We will return and try more of the extensive menu.

A friend told us about Aladdin. Yum! We started with the hummus and gyro meat appetizer. Absolutely delicious. Eating half of this was my lunch with a side salad. The dressing was very unique and tasty. Hubby got the gyro and rice. He loved the gyro but didn't care for rice. During our visit, the restaurant was pretty cold. It was a cold day in KC. We'll definitely be back. Food: 5/5 Facility: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 (nothing fancy but that's okay) Value: 4/5

Gyros is a food item I have carvings for at times. The gyro was outstanding. Soft pita, tomatoes that had flavor, ample meat, and the right amount of sauce. The stuffed grape leaves were also good. The place was full but the server was on top of it.

Service and food were excellent. We were a large group, came in last minute on Christmas Eve and they still accommodated us, and cheerfully.

The food here has been been very good for decades. Used to eat here twice a week when I worked in the area. My recent visit confirmed food is still great.

First time here and it was absolutely DELISH!!! Jess was our server and she was so attentive, warm, and friendly! We sat outside and it was just perfect Get the baba ghanoush appetizer, you won't regret it!!

Deliciously delightful!!! The Greek sale had a bright lemony dressing that was terrific. The hummus came with a jalapeño chutney that I will dream about it was so good! The gyro sandwich had thick slices of lamb and was one of the best gyros I've ever had! Service was very good.

Food was solid for the price - we split the appetizer among 4 people, and we felt satisfied with the portions. Loved all the different spreads and hummus, and each tasted so fresh and flavorful. The main entree was prepared well, with plenty of spices and a good amount of char to the roasted vegetables and meats. It was a pretty big portion too - I was quite full from finishing it, but you could definitely split it into 2 meals. Giving the food a 4/5 for quality and price. Service was a bit lacking in my opinion. Our server only came by several times during the evening: once to take our orders, to bring our food to the table, and to bring the tab. Granted she was the only server that evening, but the restaurant was not busy when we came in, and we felt that our service left a bit to be desired. Ambiance overall was decent. Somewhat dim lighting, mostly all booth seating. Most of the tables were pretty close together, so if you're looking for an intimate private meal, this might not be your spot. Overall, would probably return, just because the food was definitely a talking point.

Aladdin cafe is the best! Enjoyed a delicious lunch here today. Snagged a cozy spot next to the window. Service was great, food came out fast, with tons of flavor, and the portions were huge. Left full and with plenty of leftovers. The baba ganoush, chicken gyro and greek salad are repeat orders for me. So delicious.

We went here for lunch after a game of hockey in a tournament nearby. We were a bit hungry and we wanted to try Mediterranean as we don't have that much good choices back home. This place stood out because of the location. The entrance is not that pleasant because they have the restroom at front, so the smell of the restroom is what welcomes you. There were plenty of parking spot at front which is good. There's also street parking available. There was only one server that day, so our order was taken a bit longer. But the lady was very nice and I really have nothing negative to say, it's just the wait time. The first food came out, the Baba Ghanoush, and it was super good!! It came with pita bread and we ordered an extra because the baba ghanoush is plenty for just one serving of their pita. Our main dish came, and it's worth the wait. We loved their food, the serving is just right and you'll know that these are freshly made. I loved specifically their kids meal, those gyro on top of the fries was perfect for my little boy. He loves fries and this meal was perfect for him. He ate the gyro meat with no issues, he loved it. I also like what I had, which is their Alladin combo Gyro. The meat was plentiful, and I shared it with my wife. The rice is OK, a bit on the hard side, but the taste is good. Overall, this is a really good place to have lunch.
