Aladdin Market & Grill — Restaurant in Kendall

Delicious, high-quality food with friendly and precise service!

While staying at an Airbnb nearby in April 2025, our family of seven ordered takeout from Aladdin Grill for dinner. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant to place our order, we felt like dear guests. The manager, Selim, personally welcomed us, guiding us through the menu with recommendations on dishes, sides, and appetizers. His warm, friendly conversation made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite us asking for delivery at 9pm - restaurant closing time — it was graciously accommodated and Selim personally delivered the food, right on time. This was an awesome service!

The food impressed us with its flavor, freshness, and overall quality. We started with maza combos. Each of five mazas was perfectly prepared. A standout was the cauliflower salad maza, an uncommon but delightful addition to typical Mediterranean fare. The kebabs were tender and perfectly spiced, with the kafta kebab distinguished by its coarse texture, bold seasoning, and flavor, adding a unique touch beyond usual kafta kebab taste.

We highly recommend Aladdin Grill if you are in the area and looking for a high quality Mediterranean cuisine. It fully deserves its high review rating!

Thank you Aladdin Grill and Selim for an exceptional meal and seamless delivery!

I don't know how to put this into words, but I will try my best. It was my first time here over a week ago that came for dinner, and I couldn't decide what to get. The owner casually answered my questions on the menu and explained in detailed each dish offered, it was the best experience as not many places will explain their dishes prior to sitting down and as well for the owner to come our. I'm grateful that I got to know the menu more in depth and be able to make a decision very easily. The food here is delicious and very well prepared, the portions is enough to fill oneself with delight. It's a humble restaurant that prepares their food with thought & care from early on in the day, as explained by the co-owners, or owners wife that explained to us that she prepares the food almost every single day.

The owners suggested we come to try their breakfast, and what can I say, but nothing short of delicious food. The Greek omelet was beautifully prepared with Spanish, tomatoes, onions, and feta cheese with a side hashbrown that has never tasted so delicious!! all with side of fresh pita bread and tzatziki sauce ! I will definitely come back to eat breakfast and/or dinner.

Thank you for the amazing delicious foods being prepared here! One happy client!

PS. The red lentil soup is delicious! I wish I knew how it was prepared to do...

First things first, the entire staff is very nice and welcoming and helpful, they are really good people, and the owner is absolutely stunning, just for that reason, Aladdin Market & Grill is worth the cost she is 👨‍🍳💋🥵.

Now onto the food.

I ordered a beef shawarma wrap and an order of the falafel. My total was around $19 so not too bad.

Beef Shawarma

The wrap was recommended to me as one of their best and most popular items, so I decided to go for it, in the end, it was highly disappointing. The meat had a strange taste and was a bit dry, the wrap itself was disappointing (the tortilla) and honestly the whole thing tasted the same, wasn’t much flavor. And for $12, indefinitely wouldn’t recommend.

Falafel

The Falafel was a 6pc for $5.99, which I would say is a fair price except, they weren’t very good. The outside wasn’t crispy enough and didn’t have that crunch and nice texture I usually enjoy in falafels. The inside was okay, but again not a lot of flavor, and the sauce it came with was very acidic and watery, but the side pita was nice. I put the falafel in it with a bit of the shawarma (since the tortilla wrap wasn’t good), and it was a decent combo.

All in all, Aladdin Market & Grill isn’t a terrible place by any means, but the highlights are the staff and owner, and...
