Definitely a diamond in the rough. When we walked in, we weren't sure we were staying. The air didn't seem to be on and there was only 1 table of customers. We decided to stay and ordered the chicken shawarma family size. Everything we had was so delicious and we are so happy to have found this place. Will definitely return. read more

My wife and I were out in the Round Rock area thrifting and picking up groceries when we decided to stop into Aladdin Halal Grill for lunch. First impression? I'm not gonna lie... I was a little unsure. The place was completely empty when we walked in, and the TV menu screens were off, so we had to rely on the paper takeout menus by the register. Luckily, we already knew what we wanted to try: the gyro wrap combo with fries and a drink. The soda fountain was also down, so they offered canned sodas instead. Not ideal, but thankfully the ice machine was working. To be fair, this was around 12:30 on a random Tuesday and they had only been open about an hour, so I'm giving a little grace there. Now for the important part... the food. The food came out quick, hot, and fresh. The portions were solid, and honestly, these were some of the best plain fries I've had since moving to Texas. Crispy, seasoned just right, and actually fresh. The gyro wrap was loaded and flavorful too. What really stood out was the service. The guy at the counter was super attentive and checked on us multiple times while we were eating. What initially felt like a sketchy little spot honestly turned out to be a hidden gem. Definitely one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" type places. read more

Aladdin Halal Grill - Halal Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

This has been my "go-to" but is this place under new chefs/owners/mgmt? For context, I ordered takeout and took the pic within 10 minutes of picking it up. This is what you now get as a chicken Schwarma wrap. I've eaten 10s of these in my life and never once has it looked like this. Feels lazy. And it tastes like it looks. As does the babaganoush. Not sure what's going on. Hope they realize something is going on in the kitchen and fix it. They've been so good in the past. Hard pass for now. read more

Aladdin Halal Grill - Chicken Schwarma wrap - you be the judge. - Halal Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I am in Round Rock for work and I happened to stumble across Aladdin Halal Grill after the original place I had in mind was closed, and man am I glad I did! I got a chicken shawarma over rice platter, which was absolutely incredible! The portion sizes were enough for me to make two meals out of, as it came with heaps of chicken, rice, a Mediterranean salad, and a pita. My picture is AFTER I finished my first half of the meal! The service was also incredibly fast and the front desk staff member was extremely friendly. The restaurant was clean, with a good handful of other patrons dining in. I will certainly be back any time I'm in the area! read more

Aladdin Halal Grill - Chicken Shawarma Over Rice - Halal Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

We ordered takeout from Aladdin Halal Grill and tried two dishes--overall a decent and budget-friendly experience with a few bright spots. What we ordered: Beef Shawarma Arabi This was my first time trying the "Arabi" style, which is kind of like a chicken or beef wrap that's sliced into a few pieces--great for sharing. The beef shawarma inside was super flavorful and well-spiced, but the thin pita wrap got soggy from the juices, which took away from the texture by the time it arrived. Kafta Kabab Plate (with extra lamb kabab) Both the kafta and lamb were pretty average--heavily spiced, though that may be because it wasn't hot anymore by the time we got it. The flavor profile leaned strong on the spices, which might work for some, but wasn't really my favorite. Hummus (served with both dishes) Smooth and lighter than most hummus I've had, but still very solid. The real standout, though, was their sauce--whatever garlic/tomato/hot sauces they include really elevated the meal. Sides: Salad The salad had some bitter cucumber slices that threw me off. Not sure if that's just the produce or a prep issue. Service: fast for delivery and food was well packaged. Would I return? Maybe--especially for the beef shawarma, but next time I'd skip the Arabi wrap and just get the regular version. That said, the pricing here is very reasonable, especially for the portion size. And if you're ordering for a group, that Arabi style wrap is a good one to split. I probably wouldn't go for the kababs again, but I'd definitely come back to explore more of their shawarma options. read more

Small place in a shopping strip seems family owned and operated. Prices were actually really very reasonable like a shawarma ranging from $8-11 not bad. We had an Adana, arabi and and a plate with beef and lamb. The beef was ok, not great not bad I felt like it was missing something and the pita was a little thick for me ( I got use to the lavashbread at my regular places) the lamb though that was delicious. I think if we go back to Austin I will definitely get the ground lamb kabob. They were extremely nice. I think the 3 star is more because I ordered something that wasn't really my thing. But I will definitely go back for the lamb read more

Glanced at reviews, and no one mentioned how dirty it was. I like kebab shop and dimassi's for that reason, it is clean in there. I would say it was filthy. Cleanless is a priority to me, so I will skip this place in future. Food was not as good as I would expect. My beef shawarma wrap worth exact $8 not more. Plain pita, pinch of tomatoes and lettuce, some beef, partially hard and chewy, overly salty tahini sauce and not spicy, even I asked to make it spicy. Kids mea $5 is perfect size and value, does not come with any drink. Would I recommend, no. I know better places for a reasonable price to get Mediterranean food. As someone mentioned here, this place offer reasonably priced options, but the quality is not as good. Two men were working at the grill, they did not wear aprons, neither hairnets or hats. Once one of them touched his beard with his hand in a glove and kept cooking. Not the best practice. read more

We ordered through Uber Eats. One kafta kabob plate, one lamb kabob plate, a side of eggplant dip, a side of meat rolls, and 2 orders each of baklava and nut rolls. Both the kafta and lamb kabobs were a good size and the rice was flavorful. It also came with 2 large thin pitas per dish. The kabobs tasted the same to me and were fine. If you prefer lean, you'll like them. The portion of the eggplant dip was very small. With delivery you never know if someone touched it or that's how it came from the restaurant. For a strip center in Round Rock it was fine. read more

First time trying this place. We always go to a different Mediterranean joint on the other side, but due to changes in our hotel location, we had to find food ASAP - and we are glad we found this place. Food was great! Super fresh and well seasoned. Everything was cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and quick. Priced very very well. Ambiance - humble and clean. For $13 per, we got a fairly large plate of rice, 2 kafta kebabs, tabouleh, fresh pita and hummus. In this day and age, that's quite impressive. Highly recommend. read more

Loved the chicken tawook! Very nice flavors from the spices, tender juicy chicken, and delicious hummus, rice, pita. Very good price for the combo, will definitely be coming back for lunch often! read more

Aladdin Halal Grill - Chicken tawook - Halal Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

The best food in and around town. Prices are amazing the chicken zinger wrap too fav and the absolute best jalepano ranch salad I have ever introduced to my taste buds, extremely light and refreshing not spicy but perfect flavor. They also are so extremely friendly the lady that takes orders at the counter is the most sweet and respectful person I have ever met in the food industry she plays with our kids when we come in to order and the cooks are so friendly they always tell us hello and the give our big kid who is 5 treats on the house. I cannot stress enough explaining how honorable and all around welcoming the employees and store is! Great place to sit in for a good meal or pickup if you don't have a lot of time on your hands. Very clean place to eat. read more

Aladdin Halal Grill is one of our favorite mediterranean choices that we have in rotation. One of the nice things about this place is their late hours for those late night munchies! Service can be just a tad slow, but everything is made fresh and yummy! My go-tos are the chicken over hummus plate, the tabouleh (you can add meat to it too for a bit extra!), and the falafel. Their hummus is pretty good and nutty. My roombae likes their lamb and often gets the lamb over rice platter. Everything is decently priced and portioned. Definitely check this place out if you're craving mediterranean and on the north side of town! read more

Believe in second chances? I do. Gave this place another try after a delivery app messed up with a 2-hour delay, and the restaurant couldn't resolve it! Tried a next-day catering order and the person who took our order was extremely patient and easy to work with and very upfront about costs and process . Order was ready on time and our guests loved it. Food is absolutely amazing and juicy and flavorful . One of the best Mediterranean rice in the area . Must try for all Mediterranean food fans ! Order: Chicken+Beef shawarma plate read more

"Aladdin Halal Grill", continues to be one of the best gyros in town. I love the quality of the food and the freshness of their products. They have an excellent menu variety and the food is prepared to order. Stop on in and say what's up to "Temarius" behind the counter. Michael C - Georgetown, Tx. read more

Amazing place, good customer services, friendly peoples, the foods is delicious, easy to find the place.

Generous servings made fresh to order. Price is very competitive considering that more than likely you will not be able to finish your meal and can make it a 2nd meal for later. Pita bread was not really warm even when wrapped it foil, tasted more like a tortilla, but the salad, cucumbers and tomatoes, was delicious. That was my favorite part of my meal along with the gyro. read more

Great mediterranean restaurant . We have been going to this restaurant for few years now. The food is fresh and served hot and taste great. I think it has changed owners since I've been seeing new faces behind the counter and the food has gotten a little tastier. I'm surprised that this place isn't packed. read more

You have to sit down here and eat the food fresh. Some of the best chicken shawarma I have ever had. Great garlic toum (sauce). Dolmas and hummus were solid. You could skip the cheese rolls. The service was good, and the place is homey. Restrooms are not the most inviting or clean. But that chicken shawarma- chef's kiss. read more

Always delicious!! and the staff is awesome the lady at the counter is always kind and helpful

The food was very good for my first time yelp recommend that I try them out. The service was great. She gave us hints on what to order and it was all good. read more

The chicken shawarma is amazing. It's a must have. I would also recommend the Jalapeño platter

I can't believe that I've never written a review for this place. I have never eaten in before, but I usually get to go orders and I've ordered from here several times. The food is super fresh and very generous portions. I really enjoy their falafel and grape leaves and any type of kabob really, there's nothing you can go wrong with here. The service is great and they are very authentic. I think one of my favorites is probably the wrap because it's easy to just grab and go. But I do love the lamb as well in the gyros so no wrong options here in my opinion read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is so good and consistent. The service is relatively quick for the type of food being served. It's clean and organized and I recommend this place 5 stars read more

My first experience with Aladdin Halal Grill was yesterday's delivery (thank you, Lunch Drop!). Not too many vegetarian options (which makes sense for a halal restaurant). However, this was an amazing meal: more food than I could eat (!), best grape leaf ever, fabulous baba ganoush (I could tell the difference between it and the hummus!) and an entire delightful pita. I'm not quite to the point of adding this to my "Must Order" rotation, but close. Next step a visit in real life. read more

This has to be one the better Mediterranean restaurant in Round Rock and surrounding areas. Try the chicken tawook, juicy chicken pieces with a side of veggie mix and hummus on a bed of yellow rice. The service is fast and the food is fresh. read more

These guys let me order online and pay and I got there and they are closed. Their website says open every day until 10pm!!! Absolutely horrible. Now I have to hassle with the credit card company to get a refund! Will never go here again. It wasn't close to the house either. read more

Ordered the jalapeño ranch platter which comes with the hot (red) sauce. We also ordered a combo over rice to try the beef and kafta. Typical of Mediterranean food you get protein and a salad. Everything was fresh and good. Filling for sure! If you want another red sauce they will charge for another so be prepared. The sauces were good and tasty. If you want some tasty food that is filling this is your spot. read more

Aladdin Halal Grill - Jalapeno Ranch Platter - Halal Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

The food was absolutely great! The problem happened when my husband saw the cook in the dining area and he was fixing his shoes and returned to the kitchen to cook without washing his hands. He only put on one glove and proceeded to prepare the bread with the other hand that had no glove. So that immediately changed our rating of the establishment. We were finishing up our food when my husband saw it. read more

I actually ordered this through uber eats so I can only rate the chicken over rice with the bread. Safe to say everything was perfect with the food amazing huge servings with so much flavor. read more

Okay so I got the chicken shawarma wrap for a quick lunch, and I have to say it definitely hit the spot! More so because I was starving, but it was thoroughly satisfying to my tastebuds for sure I will say I ordered it spicy, but perhaps they looked upon me and thought they'd do me a favor by "mildly" spicin it up. Anyway...the chicken was flavorful and not at all dried out. The veggies were the most impressive! They were fresh and the lettuce had that gratifying crunch to it, you know the kind that causes you to exhale like it's been a minute; the kind where you sit there fully content and relaxed??? Yep that's the one Now the big question...is this better than halal bros??? Absolutely not! However, it is good enough to satisfy that shawarma craving when you need it and not willing to drive into Austin read more

The service was good and the person taking my order helped me along the way. Highly recommended! read more

I'm really surprised about all the great reviews. Mediterranean food is my 3rd favorite cuisine and I've had it all over the world and all over the Austin area. This place is not very good. The shawarma wrap was very dry, had very little flavor, and very little meat. All other food was mediocre. The soda fountain and condiment area was kinda gross. read more

Absolutely adore this place! First proper taste of Mediterranean I've had since moving from SoCal! (Yes we're spoiled there so you know this place is LEGIT) The rice is perfect, gyro is great and flavorful, hummus and baba ganoush are excellent, and the dishes delivered look exactly like the photos online. How often do you get that?? And then it tastes good and fresh?? Yeah. Fabulous. Treat yourself to something other than the usual sandwich or noodles and let this place fulfill (and create) cravings you didn't even know you had. But be careful, you might create an addiction. I def do not go weekly or more lol read more

We've had Aladdin a few times now as my fiance Kim lives it. She normally gets the gyro meat plate with rice and hummus and I've gotten the chicken Sharma pita and the cheesesteak pita. Everything is delicious but if you are very hungry and getting either pita , definitely get a side too. read more
