Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

Driving to Georgia from Texas and decided to stop here. It's a little off the beaten path but worth searching for. The fried kibbies were delicious. The hummus was flavorful. Everything tastes fresh. Prices were very reasonable for how much we got. Wasn't too much food at all. Perfect amount with the rice side salad and pita bread it came with. Service was friendly and accommodating of Penny (my dog). We sat on the patio since we couldn't take her in the restaurant. During our meal they also made sure penny had reasonable se

The service was great, very accommodating and friendly. But, the food was simply average and even poor. The lamb was dry and tough, but the Falafel was simply ok. I wouldn't go our of your way to eat here, but as a passing through it did provide better options than the standard highway fare.

I love this place! I've had better gyro's but the service, freshness, cleanliness aspects of this place are all outstanding. The more exotic Greek dishes are amazing. The gyros and falafel are good too but not the best in town IMO. I like walking in and ordering to go and sitting on the little couch watching the kitchen make the food. This guy runs out of a VERY small kitchen and everything is clean, efficient and the kitchen crew works like a well- oiled machine. That goes a LONG way with me.

Lamb chops! Enough said!

Went back again for another amazing meal! I got the chicken schwarma (spelling?) with some grilled veggies and baklava. THE BEST! Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderfully. I've been to a lot of Mediterranean restaurants all over the country and this is hands down my favorite.

I didn't expect to find much authentic Middle Eastern food in Jackson. Not only was it authentic, but my half Lebanese husband claimed "they have the best Baba Ganoush he's had in the states. And that's including living off of the best Lebanese restaurants in the LA and NYC area. This is a great place with a wonderful staff. It's not too expensive (unless you eat there every day like we've been doing)!
(5)Sydney M.
Delicious! Can't find dolmas as good as these anywhere! Unless, of course, you visit the Mediterranean. Don't know, never been. The hummus, baba ganouj, tabouli, falafel, and pita, ALL superb. I always get the Aladdin's Sampler Appetizer as a meal for myself because I'm a huge fan of vegetarian mediterranean dishes. I've had the Chicken Schwarma (maybe?) and it was good, too. I was just wishing that I could have had some dolmas, as well. The restaurant (last time I went there) is BYOB. And they even had a grocery in the back that you could look through and shop. I doubt anything I buy and then try to cook would taste half as wonderful as the talented chef's food at Aladdin's.
(5)Jennifer L.
The atmosphere and the service was very good. Our waiter was extremely helpful and recommended several good entrees. I chose the lamb kebab plate and my friend chose the beef shawarma plate. It was a good sized portion and the waiter brought us a mix of wheat and white pita bread. My only regret was that I wish I asked them to cook the lamb medium rare, as the lamb was fairly dry. Everything else's was fantastic though, and I look forward to my next visit,
(4)Brandy P.
One of my absolute favorite places to eat when I visit my family and friends in Jackson.
(4)Jane M.
Best hummus I have ever had-- maybe best Mediterranean food all around. Had the gyro sandwich and a side plate of the veggie stuffed grape leaves. Everything was so fresh, tender and delicious. Would make it a point to stop in Jackson again just to eat here.
(5)Sebastian B.
The restaurant feels very authentic. The dolmas were to die for. I've had dolmas before, and they have usually been cold, but these were very fresh and warm. For my meal I got the lamb kebab "sandwich". The lettuce was very fresh, and the tomatoes seemed to be just cut. The lamb meat was so tender and juicy. I tried their fresh baklava, and it was the best baklava I've had, still hot from the oven. Overall I loved it! 10/10 would devour again.

In a strange turn of events, two folks from Dallas hoping for some good ole fashioned Mississippi-style food ended up having Mediterranean food for dinner :P Yes, we made the fatal mistake of visiting on a Sunday night and apparently, hardly anything is open in Jackson, MS on a Sunday night (being more of your traditional, family-like town). However, this place was open late (until 10 or 11p) and boy, am I glad it was. The location is convenient to access right there on the main strip of the city, adjacent to the government buildings a few blocks down. The decor has your typical, Mediterranean style feel which is always fun, if not in some kitschy way. We were seated quickly although the booth was a bit small for my very pregnant self ;) What really matters, the food, knocked my socks off. I enjoyed a pretty standard dish of lamb gyro meat with rice, Greek-style salad, and hummus + pita bread. Absolutely ate everything- to the last drop. I did request the yogurt sauce (Tzatziki) to dress the meat simply because I personally love it but honestly the meat was moist enough not to really ~need~ it. Hubs loved his food too- he enjoyed lamb kabobs. Oh yeah, don't forget the baklava!
(5)Angie S.
We've never really had Mediterranean food and we were definitely not dissapointed. We had the fried cheese appetizer per waitress recommdation and it was AWESOME. Salty, but it comes with fresh veggies that even it out perfectly. We also shared the big combo and it was fabulous, came with pork, shrimp lamb and chicken. Then a huge box of pita bread and hummus which was delicious. Our adorable waitress was the nicest person ever and gave us so many tips and answered every question. This is one of our new favorites and we will definitely be back. So so good.
(5)Cody M.
I just ate here a few months ago. This is one of the best, local, authentic restaurants in Jackson. The hummus is made to perfection, and the meat is cooked consistently well. You will not be disappointed by the more authentic cuisine Aladdin offers.
(5)Ann M.
Want authentic cuisine? You'll find it here! I've never been disappointed with an experience at this eclectic little Mediterranean restaurant. The felafel and homemade hummus are unbeatable. Also, they make a killer beef schwarma. Definitely a unique experience in the Jackson area.
(5)Michael D.
This is quite the spot! I love feeling transported to another area while dining, the ambiance is as great as the food! We had a great server, Katie, she was hilarious! Which makes dining all that better! You can never go wrong with pita and hummus!
(5)Richard L.
I've come here several times during and after work at the hospital, and have yet to have an experience other than service that is kind, and food that is consistently well made. I don't know how they do it but it's extreme in it's consistency. I'll be coming here many more times. It's great for groups and more private affairs as they have open tables and booths.
(4)Cherry D.
came on a busy friday night. had high hopes for this mom and pop place, but left disappointed. i liked the flavors of my beef shawarma plate. but the hummus tasted sour, and the salad didn't have the typical kalamata olives, feta cheese, and quality olive oil that i'm used to eating. ordered an appetizer with hummus, baba ghanouj, grape leaves, and tabouli. the pita bread tasted like something from the grocery store. my friends ordered the kabab combo, and the shrimp plate. they weren't impressed with their food either. thought the meat was dry, and the shrimp was overcooked. overall bill was reasonable, at $66 for three entrees, one appetizer, and three sweet teas. we did not finish our food and did not even want to bring our leftover food home. i'm glad i tried this place out, but not planning on going back.
(3)Anna W.
Every dish I've gotten at Aladdin has been delicious and fresh! Their chicken schwarma is always a top pick for me- it is very flavorful. Also, you can brown bag here and pair some merlot with your food!

After reading the reviews about this restaurant, we decided to give it a try. We were traveling through, coming from a weekend in Birmingham Alabama, and headed back to Louisiana. The restaurant was located off of interstate 55. We were traveling on interstate 20, but the detour to this restaurant only took a few minutes. The restaurant's waitress was very helpful. We asked for a suggestion, and she gave it. I had the lamb chops and my husband had a combination plate. The food was delicious. The hummus with the best I've ever tasted. We will definitely be stopping by again when traveling through.
(5)Denise C.
Customer service is exceptional, greeted with warmth and friendly staff. The food is wonderful, lamb chops cooked to perfection and the hummus is to die for! This is my second time dining here, would.eat here more often if it was not so far from my house, but well worth the drive!! Would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Jackson area. A must eat if you love Mediterranean food and a must try if you have never tried it, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
(5)Dale G.
The location of this restaurant is definitely not ideal, but once you get past that I think you'll be in for a pleasant surprise. The food was tasty, especially the hummus and tabouli. Our waiter was truly professional and attentive.
(4)amc a.
Lambchops were nicely done, but very small. Chicken moist and seasoned well. The one thing that sticks out most are the dolmades....I have never had these warm. Very odd. For lunch the two combination meals were pricey - over $35. Service was very attentive, but we were also eating at a late lunch.
(3)Orlean S.
If all you want is a gyro, then you might try Keifers or Krilakis, but for a complete Greek/Lebanese meal you must try Aladdin Mediterranean Grill on Lakeland. Since Petra is closed, Aladdin is busier than before. For an appetizer I can recommend the fried Kibby or Spinach Pie. The Kibby has a hard outer shell and filled with ground beef. The Spinach Pie has a soft, fried exterior and filled with spinach and goat cheese. Both come with a dipping sauce, but the thick Lebna sauce (yogurt sauce similar to Tzatziki) for the Spinach Pie is outstanding. You might as well order 2 Spinach Pie's because they are to die for. I would not recommend the Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) as they are too small - the size of cigarillos. For the meal, I've tried the Lamb Kabob Plate, Combination Plate, and roasted leg of lamb. But I think the Gyro Plate tastes better, contains more food, and even is cheaper than the others. The plate is filled with meat, rice, salad and hummus. Pay the extra to upgrade to a Greek salad (with feta and olives) or Tabouli. Nothing has an overpowering taste - the rice, salad and hummus are all mild and delicious. Strangely the Gyro Plate comes with no yogurt sauce, which is a necessity in my book. But ordering extra Lebna was quickly fulfilled - just make sure they don't bring you an entire Lebna appetizer. The tea has a hint of mint which is nice. Make sure to end your meal with a couple of pieces of Baklava.
(4)Chaitanya K.
When in the Jackson metro area, I go to Aladdins whenever I crave Mediterranean food. It is definitely not the best I have had but does the job. The falafels are tiny but delicious. The chicken shawarma is more like grilled chicken chunks than authentic shawarma but does ok on the taste. Service is quick, friendly and attentive.
(3)Chad M.
Kabob combo was simple and extremely flavorful. No generic seasoning here. Careful attention to each meat's accents was given - the lamb was great, the beef was amazing, the chicken was zesty and subtle at the same time. Spice didn't overpower - flavor won here. The hummus that comes standard with the entree was fantastic. These people know what they're doing when they craft these dishes - they're thinking of the customers tastebuds! Finished it with the baklava. Loved that it wasn't the size of a small couch...it was an apropos portion to finish a great experience. My server was personal, friendly, prompt, and seemed like she'd love to take care of everyone. Stay simple on your visit - you won't be disappointed.
(5)Stephen S.
My wife and I have ate here 20-30x in the past two years and we live one hundred miles away. Best Middle Eastern food by far in the state. Best kibbeh in the South. Service is impeccable and friendly and the mint flavored tea is a nice touch.
(5)Aisha C.
This was the only menu we looked at that a vegetarian section - they had us at that alone. We shared the falafel plate and the vegetarian dolmas plate - so delicious! I absolutely loved these dolmas - great flavor and they didnt fall apart like most do. The wheat pita was soft and warm - i could eat it everyday. We also tried the baba ganouj which was great - slightly mashed with perfectly balanced flavors. The prices are decent - especially for the quality of good. The service was also good. If ever traveling thru Jackson again we will certainly stop at Aladdins for a bite. They also had a nice porch for dining, but it was too cold this time of year for that...
(5)Kerry W.
I have been here a few times. The atmosphere is casual/relaxed Greek Mediterranean style. There is a patio for outside dining which was tempting. Today I had to order lunch and dinner. Night time internet classes will keep me glued to every word of the instructor and I could not possibly tear myself away for a meal. (Sarcasm) So lunch is Hummas with Lamb plate $10.69. The lamb has a mysterious flavor but I do get I believe to be a smoked paprika taste, it was a little spicy but even though I have a mild tolerance could handle it. The basmati rice was light and fluffy and lightly seasoned or flavored with saffron. If I was to criticize anything it would be two things on the lunch plate: the lamb was not drained of grease before it was placed on the hummas so it leached into the rice the second item I would criticize was that I was not asked what dressing for my salad and it arrived with one I will not eat. Finally dinner is the house special Big Combo (4 shrimp, 2 lamb chops, and chicken kabob chunks. I asked to substitute the basmati rice for the Hummas because it is so good. Under full disclosure, I tried the food before it got cold. Reheating any meat especially shrimp and lamb is very bad and the worst way to reheat will have to happen in the hotel room tonight, forgive me other foodie guru critics! I will be forced to use the microwave. The shrimp have a good fire grilled flavor. The shrimp size is u 40-60. I love lamb and could not wait for dinner to taste, I know that lamb has the best flavor at a medium for cooking. I ordered medium and it was well done, it was way over cooked. The flavors were great, but the experience could have been better. The waiter was very nice and attentive but did not come back to ask about the salad dressing. It is 2:00 pm so it was at a slow time.
(4)Mark A.
One of the best Middle Eastern Restaurants ever. We came here from Dallas. They have hosted us very successfully. The waiters and the manager are awesome. They actually serve halal food. They have halal certification and they have no problem showing it in case of asked.
(5)Edward D.
I went out with siblings to shake things up from the normal eating habits (fast food, and Southern home cooked meals...) and our taste buds were entertained well. Our favorite was the hummus (which came with all our entrees). The place as a whole was in need of repair. The seat cushions in the booths were tattered. The walls were "Holy" ( and not with Jesus' Blessing). we highly recommend this restaurant for friends who want a unique experience. The menu is extremely affordable, and the portion size is abundant. The service is attentive.
(4)Nick G.
Fresh, flavorful. Excellent falafel, salad and soup. Perfect stop when driving through on I-55 since it is about two minutes off the highway.
(5)Divya G.
Excellent food! And fantastic service. We stumbled upon this place and we were more than satisfied. Definitely try the Greek tiramisu and the Burma, it's to die for!! I was surprised by the authenticity and the variety of dishes offered here. Most definitely willing to recommend this place and come back here.
(5)Mazen B.
Parking was a challenge but that is the only complaint I have about this place. Food was amazing. Had the meat Shawarma and Chicken Shawarma. Both were very tender and juicy. Just the right amount of seasoning and the taste was yummmmm. Looking forward to going there once again.
(4)Bilal Q.
The food was absolutely superb. I cannot recommend their food enough especially the chicken kabab platter. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. Their food actually surpasses many Middle Eastern restaurants in Astoria, NY. The staff was remarkably attentive and helpful, I highly recommend Aladdin to anyone looking for a great meal.
(5)layne l.
Falafel is delicious!
(4)Mallory L.
We used to go here or get take-out all the time. We do not much anymore probably since we moved further out to madison. The greek salad is my favorite with chicken schwarma. the dressing is a must and get it containers of it to go as well. Fresh food and delicious. 10-15 minutes on to-go orders and friendly staff. I will probably go here next time I'm back in the area. Really tangy flavors on the salad.
(3)Chris M.
Pretty good Mediterranean food. It is actually better than Kiefers. It's a more authentic and advanced menu. We stop here most times when we drive through Jackson. Would really give it 3.5 stars.
(3)Dabney R.
Initially wrote this place a moderately good review about 4 years ago on another dining app, but unfortunately made the mistake of saying Keifer's was better "for real Greek food like gyros and hummus." I am back now to redeem myself and clarify my initial misgivings. I believe what I meant is that Keifer's has better Greek food (while "real" was not the best word choice as it is definitely Americanized) while this place has better Persian/Turkish, etc. While I still believe Keifer's hummus, gyros, tzatziki and feta dressing slightly edge Aladdin out, the food here has grown on me more and more through the years. They also have good gyros and hummus, but what truly makes the menu is the lamb. Doesn't matter whether you order it in kebab, wrap, chop, or plate form, it's delicious. I usually get the Hummus with Lamb and make sure to ask for labna or tzatziki to go with it (it doesn't come with any yogurt sauce, which I've always thought was strange.) For starters, definitely get the spinach pie and baba ganouj, both are phenomenal. The mint tea is a nice touch and the baklava for desert is better than Keifer's. Overall wonderful Mediterranean food, especially for Jackson, which doesn't always do the best by ethnic food.
(4)Roger L.
Probably the best restaurant in Jackson in terms of food, service, location, atmosphere and value. Literally everything on the menu is delicious and made in house. Can't say enough good things about this place, including the fact that it it BYOB.
(5)Jennifer W.
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!
(4)Denise H.
Very good service. Menu had a ton of options- very nice. I had the vegetarian plate. Falafel was cooked to perfection. Hummus was great too. Was in town for work glad I found a healthy lunch. Would come back for sure.
(5)Danna R.
Best falafel ever! Nice atmosphere. Another server would have been helpful, our server was great but very busy. Everything was very tasty.
(4)Melissa M.
We picked up dinner to go here when family was in town. We shared two dishes - the Alladin special appetizer for 2 that included hummus, baba ganoush, Lebna, falafel, tabouleh, veggie grape leaves, kibby, and hummus. For the price, we felt the portions were small - the 3 dips were in the small portion of a 3 section take out container. There were 2 kibby, 3 falafel, and 3 grape leaves. The tabouleh, Lebna, and hummus were all very good. The fried foods were small and somewhat dry. We also split a combination plate - chicken and gyro meat, more hummus, and a salad. They included 5 or 6 pitas. We ended up making gyros with the meat, salad, hummus, and Lebna that were pretty good. Everything was somewhat dry - even the pitas and meat. Maybe if we had eaten it there it would be different. On a side note, they have a new small grocery next door with some interesting options like bulk dates, dried chickpeas, sheep milk feta, and other things not readily available.
(3)Justin W.
Try this place out, you'll definitely enjoy it! I met up with some friends there for dinner one night. A couple southerners and a couple foreigners, and everybody liked it a lot. I would gladly go back if I'm ever in town again. It was not busy at all when I went on a Friday night a few days before Christmas.
(5)Eric G.
I took my mom here to break her out of the habit of going to the same restaurants all the time. She is not very adventurous on her own. I was a bit skeptical if Jackson had any good Mediterranean but I was quite pleasantly surprised! We started with the Aladdin Special, a sampler platter with hummus, baba ganuj, Lebna, grape leaves, tabouli, falafel and kibby. The hummus was well seasoned, although not a smooth as I would have preferred. The Baba Ganuj was not bad but not memorable either. The Lebna was very good. The grape leaves were a little over cooked but not bad. The kibby was also very good. It was my first time trying it so I don't know what it was supposed to taste like but I liked it. The star of the sampler platter, though, were the falafel! Those were some of the best I have had. Very well seasoned, cooked perfectly. For main courses, my mom had the Lamb Chops and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned! I had the chicken shawarma with a side of hot sauce (can't remember what it was called) but it was VERY spicy and the flavor went well with the chicken. Although the chicken was seasoned well, it was a bit overcooked and somewhat dry. To end it, we tried one of the "blendies" drinks made with strawberry on top and avocado?!?! on the bottom. It was surprisingly tasty but I would have liked it to be a bit colder as the strawberry section was colder than the avocado. Once I mixed them together, the temperature was more to my preference and I enjoyed it. Overall, a great first experience with Greek food in Jackson. I will definitely be back!

In Jackson for a couple of days on business, I found Aladdin Mediterranean on yelp and decided to give it a try. I eat mediterranean food often in Atlanta, where we have Israeli, Lebanese, and Palestinian varieties to choose from. Aladdin presents a large menu with many nice touches such as haloumi (they call it "fried cheese") and mint-infused tea. I ordered the vegetarian plate (hummus, baba ganouj, and tabouleh). My companion had chicken kabobs. All the food was fresh and delicious, and was served promptly. The haloumi was sliced a bit thicker than is customary and did not have the traditional slight crustiness on the outside, but it was still delightfully "squeaky" and came with a nice garnish of tomato and cucumber slices. The reason for no fifth star is that the restaurant is "bring your own bottle" but this fact is not advertised on their website. It would not have deterred us from going if we had known, but was nonetheless disappointing when we arrived to not be able to have a beer or some wine. The second reason is that the waiter didn't seem to be too familiar with the menu - he would have been of no help to someone who was not already familiar with middle eastern food. However, if you're looking for solid mediterranean fare in Jackson, you will be happy with Aladdin!
(4)Jane R.
A favorite option for a dinner out for me... I'm both vegetarian and wheat free, so I'm thankful for the great selection of decent restaurants in Jackson that I can eat at--and this is one of them. My favorite dish is the sauteed vegetable plate (on saffron rice topped with feta). And the fried cheese appetizer is AMAZING...addictive! I love that you can BYOB for no cork fee... have a nice dinner with wine (there's a liquor store literally next door) on the cheap! My only complaint is that once, I ordered that same vegetable dish I always order and it came without the cheese (my favorite part). I asked about it and was told they were out. I was annoyed, because the dish was really bland without it, and they hadn't even told me. I think they took off 50 cents? Gee, thanks. And the staff were clearly talking about me and all staring in my direction and it was just awkward. But next time I came in the same waitress joked with me, "We have the cheese!" so whatever... I let it go. :) Just be sure to ask if all ingredients listed will in fact be included in your meal!
(4)Hannah R.
Coming from the Baton Rouge area where there is a large variety of excellent Middle Easter/ Lebanese restaurants to choose from, this place is nothing to write home about. I had the chicken shwarma and though the dish wasn't bad, I guess I had higher expectations. I'm used to shwarma and gyro meat coming off a skewer, not diced up chunks of meat. The pita wasn't fresh and the rice was pretty plain. I love hummus and theirs is nothing special, though not bad. The restaurant itself is quaint and in a good location and I found the staff to be pretty pleasant, so no complaints there.
(2)Brett S.
Inexpensive and tasty. We had the beef shwarmma and the Chicken also. The beef was a bit chewy. The tabouli was was good and the Greek salad also hit the spot. I think the best was the mint ice tea. The service was fair and the place was clean and nicely decorated.
(4)Kate W.
Everything is wonderful here! Fresh ingredients, great service, and it's byob! The atmosphere is really nice and cozy. Get the hummus! They let you pick your pita bread - wheat or white or both!
(5)Sara W.
I Love Mediterranean food, and was so excited about going to Aladdins with my husband. The server was good,but the food was disgusting!! My husbands beef Shwarma tasted life old horse meat(when I said that to him he said horse meat would have tasted better) the hummus was gross, the salad dressing just tasted like olive oil and that's it. The rice that came with my food tasted days old and I ordered falafel and those you could tell came frozen in a bag that they just heated up...all in all DO NOT EAT HERE!! The food is not fresh and its like they never use any kind of seasonings!
(1)Dave W.
Really a great restaurant. The gyro wrap is my favorite. The sweet tea has a mint flavor added to it. It's great.
(5)Marissa A.
I absolutely loved this place!! The restaurant was beautifully decorated with such a laid back and cool atmosphere. It was byob so we bought a bottle of wine from the liquor store conveniently placed next door! The food was awesome I got the gyro plate and the meat was tender and juicy my sister got the falafel plate and that was also a hit as well! The hummus was great and service was prompt and friendly! I recommend this place to any one!
(5)Darin W.
Reasonably good food, their gyros are a bit oily though. Would probably go back again
(4)Stephanie B.
This place has great food! I have yet to have anything I didn't like. When I come to Jackson for business, I make sure to stop here at least a couple of times! My favorite thing to get is the vegetable dolmas plate. The hummus here is the best I have ever had! It's good to-go too.
(4)Jennifer T.
Aladdin Mediterranean is my favorite Jackson restaurant. I love it! It is consistently good. I usually get Musabaha for an appetizer. It's hummus with whole chickpeas stirred in with their olive oil relish on top. I have literally cleaned out a plate of hummus with their fresh pita bread. They offer either wheat or white pita. I get the white, the texture is better to me, but for die hard wheat fans, the wheat is good. I have had their lentil soup, and most of the time, I've had it, it's been good, flavorful, and comforting. I get the combination plate of chicken kabob, schwarma, and gyro meat. I love the gyro meat, it's soft and spicy a grilled so nicely, and you can eat it with the hummus that comes with your meal. The chicken and beef are marinated in something amazing and grilled. Usually my chicken is juicy and tender and my beef is falvorful. The hummus is very creamy and I wish I could figure out how to get the creamy consistency of Aladdin's hummus at home. The meal comes with a salad with a homemade italian dressing. I usually get an extra side of dressing to dip my meat it, because it is fantastic! I think I could literally drink a cup of their dressing. It's that good. I haven't eaten the salads there, but I've seen them, and they look beautiful. I have had the gyro and it's delicious. I have also had the falafel and while I like it very much, Keifer's wins on the falafel, hands down. I usually have great service when I go to Aladdin's. If I could I would eat Aladdin's weekly, that's how much I enjoy it. Portion sizes are reasonable and so is the price of the food. You can also go next door and buy a bottle of wine and bring it in to drink. Fabulous... Again... my favorite place to eat in the city. Truly.

While I like Greek food, I'm not a huge connoisseur. I did love their gyro more than any I've ever tried.

Good Mediterranean. Everything was good that my group of 8 ordered. Recommend to others!
