The 14 Best Mediterranean Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Aladdin stands like a pita bread beacon at Montrose and Westheimer, one of the neighborhood’s busiest intersections. The Mediterranean counter-service spot pumps out fresh pita all day, along with combo plates with lamb shawarma, kebabs, falafel, and your choice of a long list of delicious sides, like stewed eggplant topped with fresh pomegranate. The only decision you need to worry about is whether to order caramelized onion or traditional hummus—and, look, you want the onion. Dine in for a quick lunch, or bring your takeout to Menil Park, where you will be the envy of every overfed squirrel." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
