Aladdin Cafe

My husband and I visited the Aladdin Cafe on our way back from Dallas to San Antonio. Although it was a couple minutes off of the highway, it was easy to find and was easy for us to get back on the highway when we were done. The restaurant itself was modest, but clean and there were already a couple of guest there when we arrived. The only staff member in sight was a gentleman behind the counter taking a phone order and he already had someone waiting to pay their bill.

The restaurant started to fill up with guests and just as I started to groan, thinking that we had made a mistake, the magic happened. Once finished with this phone order and cashing out the waiting guest, the man came out from behind the counter. With many apologies for the wait and a genuine smile, he started taking orders in the now full restaurant. He was very welcoming, well beyond the normal waiter/waitress small talk, but did so in a way that he moved along quickly, but made sure that each customer knew that they were going be taking care of. After a very short wait he appeared from the kitchen with something for everyone. No table was made to feel unimportant or uncared about. The man was the whirl of a motion, bringing food out and engaging the customers genuine and heartfelt conversation. Meanwhile, he skillfully managed the floor with the skill of a head waiter at an expensive restaurant.

Our food was brought in stages, giving us adequate time to finish one entree before starting another. Everything we tasted was a delight to the palate, except for one small issue with the greek salad dressing, which was overpowering. However, I think that had to do with the fact my dressing container had very little dressing and much spice. An issue I'm sure would have been immediately rectified had I brought it to their attention. But after our fried cauliflower, soup, and then my mixed grill I was so full there was no way could eat a salad anyway. We finished our meal with the crowning jewel of any Mediterranean meal which is tea. The tea was phenomenal and infused with mint. If you have never tried it, you must.

In conclusion, if you've never been to Aladdin Cafe, you must try it. Not only is this a fine example of Mediterranean cuisine, the customer service is better than any we have experienced anywhere. As for us, Aladdin Cafe will now be our go to stop any time we are traveling to and from Dallas.

Love this place! Amazing food and the staff is awesome. If you haven't tried it go now! Gyros are the best!

My fiance and I decided to stop here to get some food while we were in Crowley. The cafe has a very home-y feeling and our waiter was very sweet and attentive, he asked us how our day was going and if we were enjoying the weather (which i have never had a waiter do before!). We both ordered the Gyro Plate, which comes with 2 sides. The Greek salad was so fresh and the rice and gyro were AMAZING. We also had the Baklava for desert and it was so sweet and delicious. I definitely would come here again, even though it's a far drive from our home!

Good food at a good price. Never regret eating here.
