Here’s what that actually means for you day to day. 01 Family-owned. And we mean it. ----------------------------- We treat our staff the way we’d treat our own family. That means honesty, respect, and real investment in your growth — not corporate HR talking points.

If you show up, do your job, and take responsibility for your station, you will have a future at Aladdin. We’ve built our leadership team from people who started at entry level. 03 Honest management. No games. ---------------------------- We do hands-on management at the start — that’s intentional. We define a trial window together at the interview so both of us know where we stand. No surprises. No wasted time for either side. 04 Strong team. Tight kitchen. --------------------------- Every great dish starts with a great team. The people at Aladdin have been cooking together, growing together, and showing up for each other for almost 20 years. We’d love for you to be part of that. The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team. —Phil Jackson #### What we ask of you - ✓Show up on time, every shift - ✓Own your station — take responsibility - ✓Bring a positive attitude - ✓Be honest — even when it's hard - ✓Work hard because you want to, not because you have to #### What we promise you - ✓We'll train you properly from day one - ✓Flexible schedules — we work with your life - ✓Equal opportunity — everyone can shine here - ✓Promote from within — loyalty is rewarded - ✓A team that has your back ##### About the trial period We're not going to waste your time and we're not going to waste our money. We define a trial window together at the interview — so both sides know if it's the right fit before anyone commits. It's fair for everyone. Before You Apply What to know before applying with us ------------------------------------ 01- How do I apply for a job at Aladdin? Apply directly through this page or stop by either Houston location — Montrose at 912 Westheimer Rd or Garden Oaks at 1737 W 34th St — and ask for a manager. No recruiter, no corporate process. Just come talk to us. 02- What positions are currently open? We’re hiring Dishwashers, Line Cooks, Salad Station Cooks, Bussers, Grill Assistants, Grill Cooks, and Pastry Chefs across both locations. Availability changes — the positions listed on this page reflect what’s open right now. 03- Do I need restaurant experience to apply? Not always. For dishwasher and prep roles, we train the right people from scratch. For line cook and grill positions, some high-volume experience helps. What matters most is reliability, a strong work ethic, and a team-first attitude. 04- What is it like to work at Aladdin? Fast-paced, honest, and family-owned since 2006. Food is made from scratch daily — not reheated or premade. The team is tight-knit, and both locations have long-tenured staff who started in entry-level roles. 05- Do you offer part-time and full-time positions? Both. Part-time for busser and prep roles. Full-time for line cooks, grill cooks, and leads. Hours vary by location and season, and we work around your schedule where possible.
