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.

best place to have a chicken kabab with hummus dipping ,and the provided atmosphere exactly like ,y home town, highly recommended!!!

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.

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.

10/10 spot if you like hookah. Combo of hookah/food/tea/outdoor patio is amazing. Welcome to value town - definitely good prices for what you get. Sit in secret outside spot, with plants, heaters, hookah, and shawarma ... in the middle of the Mission? Sign me up. There is a reason I'm almost a weekly regular. I'm on a crazy diet and eat out like twice a week but I can always find time to visit Arabian Nights. Food - 7/10 I like all the various meat shawarmas they offer which come with chunky fries or great rice. The portion is large so you feel like you got your value. More importantly, tastes bomb. I usually get this and then one table appetizer. Kibbeh is awesome. It's essentially falafel stuffed with lots of ground lamb. Like to dip in hummus (not included). The hummus is perfect. Hummus comes with hot bread that seems fresh and tastes amazing. I usually go for the meat hummus which has ground meat (lamb?) sprinkled on it. Any hummus can easily feed 2-4 people. Ambiance - 9/10 secret outdoor patio & 8/10 inside Great for dates. Inside features an impressive mural artwork on the wall that shows an ... Arabian Night... Looks nice. Don't sleep on the back patio though. That's the main attraction. Has heaters and is surrounded by high walls topped with plants. Very cozy and intimate. Good for dates, hang outs alone or with friends. Outside door looks so messed up that you with think it's closed but that kind of adds to the charm. Service - 9/10. Rock solid. Sometimes leave you at entrance wondering wtf is going on and if anyone is home. Despite no consistent greeter, you can be sure someone will come help pretty fast if you idle in the entryway by the door. This isn't entirely ideal for new guests but old regulars know the deal and it's chill. The staff are all super nice and the food / hookah service is very fast and great. Don't ask the pretty hookah attendant to pick flavors for you. She does not like that (but dang she does such a good job). Hookah service is smooth and includes absolutely everything you could hope for. No use writing it down. Bathrooms - 9/10. Big with many stalls, tucked away/private. Love to see it.

What a cool spot! We came in after dinner on my sister's recommendation. The space is HUGE and decorated like the Arabian desert. The main dining room was completely empty, and I was a little confused. The server led us out to the patio in the back, and we were instantly transported out of the Mission. It's a narrow patio with a few tables, but you get some outdoor air and it's perfect for hookah. The servers were great and got us a large hookah with melon. They give you disposable tips so you're not spreading germs. We also ordered fries and a really tasty hummus. You also have to order the tea - it's delicious! It was a beautiful night, and we'll definitely be back!
