Arabian Nights Cafe

If you're looking for shawarma that'll make you question every other shawarma you've ever had, you're in the right place. Let me tell you about the garlic sauce first, because it deserves its own paragraph. It's not just good - it's the kind of sauce that makes you wonder if they've got a secret garden of magical garlic somewhere in the back. The kind that makes you want to ask for extra containers to take home (no judgment here, we've all been there).The shawarma itself is absolutely amazing - perfectly seasoned and tender enough to make you forget you're technically eating street food. But what really sets this place apart is the owner. You know how some people just have that gift of making you feel like you've been friends for years? That's the vibe here. The cozy atmosphere feels less like a restaurant and more like you've somehow scored an invitation to someone's very talented grandmother's kitchen.Trust me, this isn't just another shawarma joint. It's the kind of place you'll find yourself craving at random hours, and the kind you'll be texting your friends about at midnight saying "We need to go here tomorrow."

Great as always!The owner/host is always welcoming and friendly. And all the food is delicious. The restaurant is small but always clean and tidy, with eclectic and interesting decor.Stop in and try some authentic middle eastern foods!

Independently owned and operated and the owner is lovely! Quaint setting with beautiful, authentic decor. Personable, attentive service. Food is delicious! We love the gyro and shawarma plates! The French fries are so good! I always ask for extra sauce to dip them in. My MIL loves the lentil soup and there always seems to be customers coming in to get some to go every time we're dining in. My husband enjoys the Turkish coffee and there is a nice selection of middle eastern drinks such as ayran, kardamom tea, rose water, and vimto. I really enjoy their chai tea! Some chai teas I find are overpowered with ginger but theirs is well-balanced and smooth!

We had the combo appetizer and the family size shawarma. I had cardamom tea. The food was delicious and the owner was kind, friendly, and answered all our questions and made good recommendations. We'll be back!

Lovely experience at dinner with my mom tonight. I would love to see this place busier (seems like they do a good DoorDash business) but the owner was so kind and the food was excellent. Not to mention the price point is spot on. The falafel was very tasty and the hummus wowed me. The baklava was outstanding with the crushed pistachio. We were surprised with cardamom tea at the end of our meal and it was delicious. I've never had it before! We will be back. Thank you!

TAKEOUT REVIEW ONLY. N.B. I have eaten shawarma all over the world. I know good from bad and even cook it at home. We ordered a chicken shawarmah dinner and a mixed shawarma dinner. Menu says everything comes with rice, fries, salad, bread. Chicken shawarma - portion was about 3 tablespoons of mashed chicken in a gross sauce, was cool to touch. "Salad" was about 2 tablespoons of wilted chopped lettuce. French fries - there were 8 (I counted), and they were raw.Mixed shawarma - looked like dog food, was just about 4 tablespoons of mashed up meat, also cool to touch. Same "salad". More fries but also raw.Being in a hotel, we decided to toss the food rather than risk food poisoning (cool food is always a bad sign). We're not local, so no plans to try this place ever again. NOTE: We picked it up, this was not a delivery delay situation.ETA: Owner reply is BS - we knew exactly what we wanted but poor quality and tiny portions we couldn't have known about and certainly didn't want.

Staff were friendly, kind and helpful. The setting was quiet and casual. The falafel was good. The hummus was creamy and really enhanced the falafel. The chicken shawarma was tasty. I think the cardamom tea was my favorite part of lunch, a nice surprise. I plan to go back for the tea with a piece of baklava.

Amaaaaaaazing! The Falafel is soooo good and not dry! The garlic sauce is off the charts sooooo good!!! I had the Tallis Plate and everything was just delish!

If i could give this restaurant a 1 star i would. The food is horrible. Just plain horrible. No flavor, no spice. Felt like honey boo boo tried making Mediterranean food. It was sooooo bland. Fried i think were just shown a bottle of oil and then considered done. they were white. Cooked but white!!!! Dont waste your time and MONEY!!!!

Enjoyed the hummus and falafel. Our wraps were just okay. Pleasant, friendly service!
