Very disappointing. There are so many better Mediterranean spots in the Denver metro area. Definitely not going back.

Disappointment huge disappointment my husband is Lebanese and he grown up on Mediterranean food tonight we ordered chicken kabob and kibbeh well chicken was kind of dry rice was cold and dry but instant of kibbeh we got empanadas for real guys ? Your service was great few months ago but what happened? We notice last few times food quality went down , we support you and love that you in neighborhood but for real empanadas? I know shorthand and not enough people to work situations,we all have same issues but if you charge people for price you charging can you at least pretend you care or person that's preparing food could put little effort in it ? Thanks

This is the worst Lebanese or Mediterranean food I’ve ever had, and this is a Lebanese American writing the review. These people put barbecue sauce on the kafta and lamb, and the baba ghanoosh had 0 eggplant.

I ordered the Hummus Be Chicken Shawarma with salad and rice. I regret not taking a photo, but for $16, the amount of chicken I got was like leftovers that you might not even consider packing home. You could gather all the chicken pieces and eat it in two bite.Salad was nice. Rice tasted dry.

Going with two stars because I had a couple of good experiences when this place first opened. This time, not so much. I received a text that the food was ready for pick up about 15 minutes before I showed up. But when I arrived, it was not ready for 10 more minutes. I assumed that meant things would be fresh. Dolmas we’re dry and flavorless, fattoush was swimming in a lake of water, and the falafel were as hard as rocks - the only thing you could taste there was the deep fryer. I hope they get it together.

From hello to thank you, I absolutely love everything about Aladdin Mediterranean! The. The Kafta Kebab is perfect, the grilled chicken kebab very tasty and the hummus, very smooth!! Thank you so much for taking care of me. This was one of the best meals on my vacation!!

Upon arriving to this small food hall I was warmly greeted by all of the wait staff and employees. The service was the only good part about this experience. The chicken shawarma tasted nothing like shawarma seasoning and was somehow sour and chewy. The rice was just that, rice. No seasoning, no turmeric, and a little dry. The falafel was also dry and flavorless as was the hummus. The best thing on plate was the small amount of French fries that were fried to perfection. I was expecting this chicken shawarma plate to be packed with flavor but all it brought was disappointment.

I was honestly so shocked at the poor quality of the food especially for the price I paid. The chicken shawarma tasted like chicken coated in a dish soap type sauce with microwave rice underneath. I'm not exaggerating at all it was honestly that bad. The falafel was also super hard. I really tried to give the falafel a chance but I couldn't get past the fact that the texture was awful and it tasted like pure oil. Falafel is supposed to be green inside and these weren't. I also paid $1 extra for tzatziki and received maybe a tablespoons worth in a cup. I mean seriously? The pita and hummus both tasted store bought. I was just shocked because normally I feel like I can find good Mediterranean food anywhere in the Denver area.

I was very excited to pick up this meal. I ordered the meat combo plate and my girlfriend ordered gyro plate and falafel. The food was pretty good (chicken was dry) especially the garlic sauce; there was, however, one piece of kafta I had to spit out. It smelled like feces and I actually saved it and had my roommates examine and smell the meat to make sure it wasn't my nose acting up. The piece of meat was definitely spoiled or contaminated.I wish I could rate higher.

Great spot and large servings. I got the veg platter.babaganoush was very sweet - not sure if that’s the style of the owners. Yummy salad dressing and hummus
Sooooo delicious!! The people were friendly too. He helped me decide by giving recommendations. It was so good & fresh. The hummus & gyro meat were my favorite. Highly recommend!

We will not be ordering from this restaurant again. We had a simple request of "no olives" on the Greek salad... salad came with olives, flavorless chicken & already dressed so lettuce was soggy. Hummus was flavorless. Beef Skewers were flavorless and burned. Falafels were dry and came with no sauce. Gyro was the only item we received that was decent and had good flavor.

Excellent food and service, best baba ghanoush ever. We had gyro's , swarma chicken and chicken kebab - all were excellent and very flavorful. Highly recommend!

The gyros was terrible. I don't know if it was burnt, previously frozen or what, but not fresh. The amount of salad was like a side salad portion.

This place was a let down. Ordered the gyro meal to go. I checked my order when I got in my car. The pita they threw in was stale and broken in half and in chunks from being dry. The taziki was missing (which makes a gyro in my opinion) Went back in to get taziki and a new pita. The guy behind the counter laughed about the pita, didn't acknowledge the taziki. I watched him pull another pita out of a bag of grocery store pitas (?!) Handed me my stuff back without an apology. I assumed he threw the taziki in the bag. Got to my car, checked my bag again. The taziki serving size was laughable (see pic, I expected this to be overflowing - what a joke) The gyro meat was dry. I don't understand the logic when a business has to raise their prices, and then they don't make meals correctly and cant offer an apology or own up to, quite honestly, how disgusting their dry broken pita is I'm bummed because supporting small business is everything, but this is not worth the money IMO
