Arabian Nights Restaurant

I was craving kabobs the other night. I ordered the chef sampler. I ordered mine with chicken and beef kabobs. It came with baba ghannoj, hummus, and French fries. I ordered a side of falafel also. The food was delicious and tasty. The chicken was full of flavor and very tender. The beef was seasoned well and also very tasty. I really enjoyed the baba ghannoj, and the hummus. The fries were perfectly fried and the falafel was amazing. The chef sampler comes with a lot of food. I ended up cutting the top of one of my flat breads and stuffed it with all my left overs. I had a huge pita stuffed to the top left over. The restaurant is really nice. They have a huge dining room and can accommodate big parties. They have a nice out side patio that you can eat at also. The vibe was just right. Over all I rate this place a 10/10. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was nice and quiet. The food was simply amazing. I recommend this place to anyone looking to eat good Mediterranean food. You won't be disappointed! But don't take my word for it. Get out there and give it a try.

I chose Valentine's Day to take my partner out for a nice romantic dinner.When we first arrived, only one other table was seated, which was surprising, considering all the good reviews. Our friendly waiter took our order and reconfirmed everything.Almost an hour later, our entrées arrived. I reminded him our appetizer never arrived, and he reconfirmed the order. We also had to ask for the drink that wasn't delivered. Soon after he arrived at our table with an order of falafel and ask if we ordered it; we hadn't. by this time, the dining room was about 1/3 full, and our guy was trying to serve everybody by himself; he was obviously completely overwhelmed and other tables seem to be having issues also. Despite ordering it twice our appetizer never arrived, and neither did the bread we ordered. I left a decent tip, thinking it wasn't all his fault, but we will never go back.

The outside of this restaurant almost stopped me from going in. We went on a Friday night and the outside sidewalk and surrounding areas looked dirty and had a lot of people sort of hanging around doing random things. We parked in the parking lot next door, which also felt like not a great idea lol but it turned out to be fine. The restaurant actually looks like it was abandoned from the outside. But it was actually nice on the inside and the server was super friendly and welcoming. The food was really good, so it's unfortunate that the outside looks wild. The only food I didn't particularly like was the Makdous. I expected more walnut filling but it was mostly peppers and maybe one walnut per piece b

Good food. Service good. Nice ambienceHad the kafta w tahini and their appetizers good. Grilled chicken is ok (burnt from outside a bit)

Amazing food, looks real sketch from the outside but I feel they go for that look since its right on mission street in SF. The inside is quite open, food was great. They have hookah on the back patio. Bathrooms were real clean. Music was playing, nice place for a date night. We came on valentines and there was only 2 people working the tables and about 3 cooks. Food was real good, I cannot stress it enough. Of course no parking so if you plan to eat at a certain time, I suggest adding an extra 15 minutes to park.

Fun decor and great service! Music was quite loud, but they turned it down when we asked. Our server was very sweet. It was pretty dead on a Monday night at 6 PM; there was only one other table for the two hours that we dined in. Beef Shawarma with fries was alright, but the Mezze platter was good! Would come back or order delivery for their Baba Ghanouj and Hummus.

The chicken was SO GOOD! It tasted like it was grilled/charred so well - it was juicy and so flavorful. The app platter was really good too as it gave a sample of hummus, baba, falafel, and a few more items. The salad was decent and needed for the meal we had. I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! I would definitely recommend.

Ok, first off, Arab here.... I have to say, mashallah! This was fantastic! I was feeling homesick and didn't feel like cooking so, my usual restaurant that I like was closed so, I thought I would give this a place a shot and to my surprise, exceeded my expectations! This is just like home - you can taste the smoke on the meat and baba ghanouj, the hummus was salted perfectly and had great flavor. The kanafeh was a little to carnalized around the edges and a little hard to chew but, still delicious. The baklava oozed with sweetness..... Thank you so much for making a homesick woman feel home. American's, if you want to taste what Arabic food is supposed to taste like and NOT that other watered down bland garbage you find in the city, then you really need to come here!

This is one of my favorite comfort food spots when I want Arabic food. There's always tables inside, but when the weather permits the outdoor seats are a great vibe and you can get shisha outside too.Favorite dishes:*Mezza sampler (or vegetarian sampler): the hummus and eggplant are so flavorful. The falafel are fresh, with great texture inside and crispy outside.*Bread: This is free but deserves a callout because it's properly baked and fresh; no thick pita bread.* lamb or chicken skewers: I've had both and they're both good. I think the lamb is a bit more moist. I prefer getting fries over rice*Knafeh: I get this often. It's not really the "best"; they make the khishneh get super crunchy but I wish there was more cheese. However it's still made welll enough. Overall: 5 rating for taste, vibes, price. I come back every ~2 months.

Just DoorDash Arabian night dinner. Food was fresh tasty and delicious. Customer service was also stellar. Authentic Middle Eastern food made like back home , would highly recommend.
