Aladdin Cafe

This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Kansas City. They have a huge menu and everything I've had is excellent. The Raja dip is amazing and I've never seen it anywhere else and everyone I've had it with loves it too. I usually get the Cauliflower Zahra, the vegetarian entree option and it is so good. I crave it. Their lentil soup is the best I've had too. The service is a little slow but friendly and the food is definitely worth the wait. Love this place.

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 needs to clarify that before you click next... I thought that was total not PER PERSON!!

Tasty food, helpful staff, outdoor dining and inside is semi-updated since last I was there. Great food. The hummus was creamy and delicious. I had a Greek Salad with Shrimp and was blown away by the color and delicious salad dressings. I will definitely be back!

Taking a parking garage and making it into a restaurant makes for a cool atmosphere. The food was delicious. The chicken curry was full of lots of variety of flavor. Will definitely be coming back.Food: 5/5

Took out with me, and it was very delicious! Flavor of sauce was well balanced, chicken meat, salad was very fresh! Btw, next time would be perfect, if you add spoon for the rice:Takeout: Yes

Love love this place! Our server Jess was extremely nice and helpful and had great recommendations! The salmon kabobs are great. Another favorite dish is their ~Cauliflower Zahra~ Roasted cauliflower seasoned with garlic and cilantro, served with basmati rice, pita, and tahini sauce. So many great things to say about this place! A 39th street favorite for sure.

Food was tasty. Not sad we tried it as the Dolmas were some of the best I've had but not my fave spot for Arab/Mediterranean food.

We've been going to Aladdin's ever since they opened, 20-some years ago. Fresh food, and plenty of it. It's so good! We went in there the other day around 4 PM, and it was almost deserted due to the time of day. Great food, great service. We added tiramisu to take home and enjoy later, and it was wonderful, too. Highly recommend!

Food and flavors were a delightful surprise. The food was fresh and well prepared. The portions were as expected. The service was unacceptable. We were the only patrons in the establishment. We had to request silverware, plates, and refills. Etc. We barely received any follow-up except when the bill was brought to the table in the middle of eating. Rude, to say the least. I am on the fence about attempting this location again. Sad but true

Best Mediterranean cuisine in Kansas City! Have tried sooo many other places lentil soup and nothing even comes close to comparing! Everything I have tried over the years has been amazing!
