50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Houston

“Excellent service and delicious!“

“We were glad to return to this tried and true restaurant. Our steaks were perfect and all the side dishes delicious. We had a wonderful waitress and overall immaculate service. The staff did their best to accommodate our request for a less noisy environment within the restaurant. Our guests were delighted and we could see they truly enjoyed their dining experience. It is not an inexpensive restaurant but well worth the money if one wishes to have a memorable evening. I feel the staff would be well equipped to handle a special event, such as a birthday or small party. No wait in getting our car when we left. So everything flowed efficiently and smoothly from arrival to departure. We will definitely return.“

“I really love this restaurant from the awesome service to the beautiful delicious food. Celebrated a birthday there last night and the food was awesome as well as the service. We will be back again! Love the lamb hummus and the kebabs. My friends enjoyed the restaurant and loved the food. Thank you again!“

“Many customers rave about the authenticity and quality of Aladdin's Mediterranean dishes, with the hummus, lamb, and shawarma receiving consistent praise. The freshly prepared dishes and homemade pita bread enhance the overall dining experience, making it a standout for Mediterranean cuisine.“

“The restaurant is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. The food is top-notch. You can clearly notice that a lot of thought went into the menu and the design of the structure, as well as the dishware, which makes for a great vibe. It's one of the best spots in the Houston area one must visit for either a date night in the evening or just a business meeting in the early afternoon. Highly recommended; the food quality, vibe, and service are definitely top-notch, which is exactly what you will be looking for when going out to a restaurant of this level.

I was recommended by friends and decided to give it a try. Boy, I'm glad for listening and devoted time for such a great experience. Finally, I think words will just do a disservice for describing the experience; you just have to go there and experience it yourself. Thank me later.“

“Ordered at the Heights location. Great tasting food. We got the gyro quesadilla, a gyro cheese steak sandwich, and a gyro bowl subbing lettuce for rice. All were delicious! Ordered during rush hour and the food was still ready quickly. Thanks!“

“In the Village for the afternoon and randomly picked this restaurant for lunch. Was a beautiful day and we were seated at there covered outdoor patio. Greeted by an extremely helpful and knowledgeable waiter. Took his time to help us with the menu as this was our first time there. Hummus is home made fresh and excellent. Had a delicious Turkish pizza and can highly recommend the Doner Kebab plate. Can’t wait to return and explore more items on the menu. Exceptional service and food. Highly recommend. 🧿“

“It’s a great restaurant and the food is delicious. I have been a customer of the Rice Village location since the early 2000s.“

“Very good and fresh food in houston“

“I love CAVA, have always had great experiences in all locations I have visited. Today (2/25/25) was my first visit to this location. I ordered the Spicy Lamb and Avocado bowl. This is the first time I have ordered a curated bowl as I typically make my own bowl. The lamb was cooked perfectly, the veggies were fresh. The only thing I would suggest is that if you have "avocado" in the name that the avocado be more present. The black lentils were cooked to perfection for me - they were firm (which is the best way) so if you do not like firm lentils, I would suggest choosing a different base for your bowl. The saffron basmati rice is a delicious option. They added a half avocado but it was a very small avocado so there was not much considering it is in the name of the plate. My colleague ordered the Steak + Harissa bowl. She liked it but said the steak was on the dry side so she would go back to chicken next time. The team is always very friendly in each location I have visited. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will continue to be a CAVA regular.“

“Great place to have food or a quick drink.“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is consistently delicious—full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish I’ve tried has been a hit. The service is excellent, and what really stands out is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always greeting you with a smile and making you feel right at home. It’s rare to find a spot that gets both the food and the atmosphere just right, but this restaurant definitely delivers. Highly recommend!“

“The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff’s attentiveness cannot be overstated; they were just incredible, especially our server, Ashton.

As for the food, don’t miss out on the lamb lollipops, Parmesan fries, or Oysters Rockefeller. They were so good, especially the oysters and fries! As for dessert, the bread pudding was magical. Cant wait to go back.

Oh, and if you like mezcal, the Scorpion’s Kiss - one of their specialty cocktails - is the perfect mix of smokey and sweet.“

“delicious cousine. Fast and tasty.“

“I love this place and that I highly recommend this place and yes , wait , they have lamb kabobs which is missing from the best Mediterranean restaurants around. They all serve lamb shanks and chops but no one serves lamb kabob . If you get Falafel than try , tahini, garlic sauce and hummus and other toppings in it and the price remains the same and whatever toppings you want, isn’t that great.

Vegetarian options: Falafel is the best.

Parking: Ample of parking“
