The food was top tier. Definitely coming back. The lamb was cooked perfectly. The hummus and gluten-free pita bread were so good!

The food here is fantastic. I had the chicken and beef Schwarma not sure if I spelled that correctly lol. When the server placed the platter in front of me, I knew it would be delicious by the aroma alone. The hummus was fresh and tasty, pita was wam and fresh. I also had the red lentil soup which had just the right amount of spicy heat. read more

I have been on this huge kick for Lebanese food. Today I searched for a place a little closer to my location and stumbled across Aladdin. The restaurant was cozy, inviting and the server was very friendly. I ordered the vegetarian plate,, I subbed the taboule salad for the veggie grapes leaves, had the hummus, baba ganoush and falafel. All was delicious the falafal was the BEST and out did the last place I found great falafal at. I kept contemplating on getting falafel to go..it was that good! The baba ganoush was outstanding as well. I would have returned for dinner if I didn't have a 2.5 hour drive. Until next time. read more

Their Gyros are soooooo goooood especially when they put the cheese on it! And I love their fries!!! I also love the seating area outside very cute for a summer date read more

My FAVORITE place for lunch in Jackson. Fresh, delicious and satisfying food served in a causal atmosphere. Their hummus is unrivaled.

Best Mediterranean restaurant in Jackson, if not the state of Mississippi! Very quick service and a local favorite! Love the gyros and combo place. Best humus I've ever had! read more

Some of the best humus in the Jackson metro area. Everything here is delicious, but the hummus, tabouli, dolmas, & falafel are amazing! The mint iced tea is a favorite but If you want something stronger, you'll need to stop in at the package liquor store next door to grab beer or wine to drink with your meal - the restaurant happily furnishes the glasses. The menu is simple Mediterranean fare and straight forward. The staff is efficient and the food arrives quickly. We love it for lunch or dinner whenever we're in the Fondren area. read more

This is the food I like ! and the food I need!! , good food, healthy tasty, not expensive at all !and pretty close from where I live, I can't complain !! I will be back for more Mediterranean food !!!!!! read more

If you're looking for Greek or Mediterranean food in Jackson, your options are sadly kind of limited. Don't be bummed though, because Aladdin is nestled right here in the heart of downtown Fondren and it is one of the best dining experiences you can have in town! Let's start with the atmosphere. Walking up to Aladdin's, you'll walk through the front porch sitting area first. If the weather's nice, absolutely grab a seat here! It's such a pleasant place to sit and there are several tables as well as big comfy seating as well. If you choose to sit inside, you'll have your choice between lots of tables as well as some cushy booths as well. It's a small space, but if you've got a group of friends, they're always willing to push some tables together. I've walked in with groups of eight or nine before and had no issue getting seated pretty quickly. The servers are typically really nice. I've been here dozens of times, and I've had maybe one or two dining experiences in which the service was a little lackluster. That's not to say the server wasn't friendly or attentive though! Like I said, they're all usually super nice and the food gets delivered to the tables really quickly. About the food... Omg. So good. This is authentic Mediterranean cuisine, for sure. I love that it stays true to it's Mediterranean/Greek roots while still being a true Jackson, local spot. You can get a sweet tea with your hummus, and you won't be disappointed by either. The homemade falafels are my favorite thing on the menu. The falafel plate is vegetarian and comes with rice and veggies. It's plenty of food for one person and so good! The homemade hummus is reeeeally good and it comes with most dishes. They'll bring you some fresh, warm bread to go with it. YUM. Other excellent dishes: chicken dolmas (served hot!), beef schwarma, gyro, lamb kebab. Everything is so good! And the menu is huge. I could come here every day for a month and not get bored. The desserts are really great too! Get the tiramisu to split with friends. Or get one all for yourself! Oh, and it is super reasonably priced! You can get a gyro for $5. The falafel plate will run you about $9. The most expensive items are the lamb dishes, but even then, nothing goes above $20. NB: This place does NOT serve alcohol, but they do let you brown bag which is so nice! You can grab a bottle of red wine across the street at Fondren Cellars and enjoy it with your meal with some friends. Talk about a perfect evening! read more

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - Falafel plate! - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I actually liked this place a lot when I was visiting Jackson for work and so I ate here twice! I'm not sure if this is the exact location I went to, but I know they are all owned by the same people and so I'm hoping the food is the same across all of them. Here are the things I tried and my feedback: - Hummus - Very good hummus, doesn't have a strong flavor by itself so it easily pairs with anything else. I got their wheat pita bread and it was fresh and very very good. - Qudsia - Chicken and fava beans on top of hummus, makes the hummus a little more tangible as an appetizer. Had this the second time! - Meat dolmas - These were alright, I wasn't very impressed. I have liked dolmas before when they were seasoned really well but it was bland meat inside bland grape leaves with no flavor to them. Meh. - Spinach pie - VERY yummy. I really liked the filling in this and the pastry was light and really good. - Falafel - AMAZING!! You have to get the falafel here, even if you haven't tried them before. Very flavorful, not greasy, just yummy yummy yummy. - Hummus with lamb - Lamb was very good and tender, came with a small cucumber salad which was pretty good. I added this spicy sauce you can ask for on the side to a lot of what I tried here because their biggest weakness was underseasoning on some dishes that had the potential to be phenomenal. They also didn't have eggplant for baba ganuj which was disappointing. Hoping when I go back they'll pick it up and I can give 5 stars! read more

Jackson metro is insanely saturated with Greek/Mediterranean restaurants, but Aladdin is hands down the best. My most recent trip a few nights ago I got take-out. I ordered a Gyro, fries, and some Babaganoush. The order way ready within 10 minutes and super fresh when I picked it up. The people were all super friendly when I walked in and I was able to get in and out in just a few minutes. Getting the food home, I enjoyed one of the best gyros maybe I've ever had but at least the best in the metro Jackson area. The pitas are soft and fresh with the meat and toppings being delicious. I must say that it was super affordable too. One thing that's great is if you want to dine-in, it's byob. The atmosphere is casual but feels very ethnic. It really is a gem in the Jackson area. If you're looking for a great lunch or dinner, I highly recommend it. read more

This place has some of the best Mediterranean food I've had here in Mississippi. The ingredients are super fresh and dishes are authentic. I can't wait to come back! read more

I had a chance to experience the food from Aladdin's while I was in Jackson recently for an overnight stay. I ordered through the Waitr app as I wasn't familiar with the area, so I can't attest to the actual restaurant location itself (decor, cleanliness, location, etc...), but the food itself was really delicious. I ordered falafel, and a plate that included a green salad (I got Taziki sauce as my dressing), rice, and humus covered in diced lamb. It was really a great combination. (The only thing I didn't exactly "love", food-wise, were the dolmades, which were beef, rice and spices. They were a bit too bland for my taste, but everything else was great). I gave Aladdin's four stars due to the fact that my food took over an hour to be delivered, so honestly I'm not sure if it was Waitr's fault or Aladdin's, so on the off chance Aladdin's had no control of that, I'd rate the food as five star. Definitely try it out if your in the area! read more

Delicious. Very fresh vegetables. Sauces are excellent. Pita bread is soft and freshly made. I enjoy the falafel. I've only ever gotten take out, but they have a cute inside seating area as well as a small outdoor patio. read more

I've come here a few times over the years but it's been awhile. It was just as good as I remember, nice and classy, but VERY AFFORDABLE. The sandwiches are so cheap! Since we each just got a sandwich we got three appetizers and didn't even spend 30 dollars. read more

Great food! One of my go to spots in Jackson. The hummus is amazing! So fresh and authentic

Disappointed in the portions for how much I paid. The kabob wasn't in unison like I was used to. The dolmas I ordered also did not have any meat. The food tastes good and seems authentic. Delivery was also late, but the delivery man was polite. I usually don't ream places like this, but I'm very disappointed. This place needs to get their act together. read more

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - Lamb Lula Kabob Plate, Greek Salad, and Meat Dolmas. - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

We ordered takeout last night and everything was delicious! I tried the sweetened mint Lebanese tea and it was unlike anything I've ever had before. Tea lover or not, I highly recommend. In fact, everything we ordered was delicious. They knocked it out of the park! I wish I had snapped some pictures beforehand but was too excited to dig in. The Aladdin's special appetizer was a great way to try some items I've never had before. Especially the dolmas and lebna and tabouli! For entrees, we got a lambchop and lamb kebab plate. 100% recommend! read more

I ordered the lamb shank with yellow rice and hummus. The lamb was tender but flavorless and the rice was basically the same just no flavor . The best part of this whole dish was the hummus and the pita bread they were absolutely delicious .I may come back, but not anytime soon. read more

We found this restaurant on our Yelp app while traveling, and are we glad we did! It's not a fancy place, but our meals were awesome. The hummus was the best I've ever tasted. I had the Chicken Lula and my husband had the gyro plate. Both were yummy! We had the baklava for dessert. It was so good, I could have eaten a second piece. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Today I visited Aladdin for the first time, and I was highly impressed. Not only by the food, but more specifically the family feel atmosphere. It soon as I walked in, I was greeted by someone who directed me to the counter to place my order. As I wait for my food, I could feel the positive energy and family vibes within the workers. They were all smiling and in good spirit with one another. I was asked again, did anyone take care of me, and it was such a warm and welcoming feeling. I would highly recommend people attend this restaurant and only for the food, but for the customer service! read more
