    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.

    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:)

    Nice fresh healthy food. Party of 7 and we all got wonderful plates. Wonderful waiter was a very nice young man. Good cook there. Enjoyed it very much and I feel better after eating there. I had the Petra platter which had curried chicken and it was just delicious.

    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.

    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!

    Was picking up an order and never got a hello how are u we will be with you shortly. She looked at me and turned around to continue talking to cook and laughing. Looks like they have good food but based on the fact that you can't greet me is insane. Whoever Jose is was the cook.

    Came here for Thanksgiving. Never been to this restaurant and wasn't sure what to expect. Let me tell you, the waitress was attentive and friendly. The food? Absolutely amazing! We had Gyro hummus and it was incredibly delicious! The meat was so tasty, fresh and hot! The cardamom tea? Fantastic! Best Thanksgiving ever! Incredible experience and most definitely will be back! Thank you so much!!!

    On a whim decided to try this place. Fasten your seat belts the food was way beyond our expectations. We tried the lamb shank and gryos sandwich. I don't review much but wow everything was very good. Shank was melt in your mouth tender. Sauce began reminiscent of pumpkin pie but after a dozen bites you notice a slow burn or spiciness on your palette. Gryos meat was very moist and full flavored. The hummus as an appetizer was the best I've ever had too. Everything served hot. Very early dinner for us so place got bust after we had finished but service (Jes) was very good. I'll be back, and bring friends.

    AC has the best hummus and falafel. The hummus has ruined me for all other hummus. I ordered a pre-lunch hummus appetizer ... and then took 2 orders to go [one for me and one for a friend]. Sorry for the picture of the half-eaten dish. I couldn't resist the temptation. 🤣 Dee-lish!

    Got the Curry Chicken and I was blown away with the flavor of the sauce and the chicken was freshly cooked so juicy! Also got hummus and I say my first time trying fresh hummus and they definitely do it right would definitely recommend checking this place out my server Jessica was very friendly aswell. 😁

    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

    Nice waitress, delicious food. The burning incense we're a bit strong, and bring a sweater the air vents we're blowing strong air directly on us we were freezing. Best rice I've ever had! Very fast service ,definitely a good spot if you like authentic flavors.

  • 4/5 Melonie B. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Rajan V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Service. Great Food. Made fresh. They even customized it to our requirement. Should visit this place for sure.

  • 5/5 Mary M. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

    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!

    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!!)
