Arabian Nights - Reviews

I went there thinking it was a nice place and paid for an Uber to get there. Upon arrival, the place was a waste of time just to see the front. It's not like the photos. Be careful, they use fake photos of the outside 😞.

The walk up to the door was downright scary, but the food was excellent! There is no bar. Overall, the food was a 5/5, but the atmosphere was a 1/5. Service was rated a 3/5. The noise level was loud, but you could still talk.

I stumbled upon this place while I was in San Francisco for a work conference. My experience was amazing and I had authentic Falasteeni food🇵🇸. I have spent a lot of time in both Dearborn & Chicago, which are home to some of the best Arabic restaurants in the country. That being said, this place beats them all. My server was friendly and hospitable even with the time being so close to closing. The indoor/outdoor seating area reminds me of the mashawi restaurants in Cairo or Amman. The meat was delicious & juicy, and all of the moutabalat (mezza) tasted just like back home. I can’t recommend this place enough, and I wish all the success to the owner & staff!

My experience at Arabian Nights in San Francisco was exceptional. This restaurant is a true culinary gem. The kebabs were absolutely outstanding — perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a reminder of why I keep coming back. Just thinking about the food makes me crave it all over again. I’ve recommended this spot to countless friends and family, and it always delivers an unforgettable meal. A must for any food lover visiting SFO!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was truly amazing. We ordered a variety of dishes, including salads, flatbreads, and kebabs, and every single one was delicious. The patio area was also very cute, and it was a pleasant surprise that they had heaters, making it comfortable to enjoy the outdoor space.

My experience at the restaurant was quite frustrating. After waiting for over 20 minutes, I observed them seating another party of the same size before us. They could have been more straightforward and simply turned us away.

My experience at Arabian Nights was truly amazing. It felt like I had visited the Middle East right in the center of San Francisco. The very nice terrace, protected from the wind, was a delightful spot. Although the surroundings were a bit rough, once inside, you completely forget about it. The food and hookah were super nice, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Middle Eastern food and Hookah.

My experience at the restaurant was initially quite cold and not very cozy. However, as we were leaving, we discovered a patio in the back with tower heaters. This outdoor area was much more inviting and warmer, despite being open-air.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the terrible service. While the food was decent, the mandatory 18% tip felt unreasonable, especially given the poor service. To make matters worse, the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional. Overall, it was definitely not worth the experience.

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I've tried all the Middle Eastern restaurants in the Bay Area, and this one stands out for its amazing food. The food quality is top-notch, truly authentic. While the food was a perfect 5/5, the atmosphere was a bit less impressive at 3/5. However, the service was also rated highly at 5/5, contributing to a great overall dining experience.
