Cold place. Zero cozy. As we were leaving we discovered there was a patio in the back with tower heaters. There it is cozy and warmer even though we were outdoors.

The food was ok, the service was good. Ambiance was off due to the empty space in the entry way (previous cafe). It was also chilly.

We drove 2 hrs to get something they only serve on Friday and Saturday. This is the 3 rd time it was unavailable. When I went to order the waitress said you know that's raw lamb right" . She then said she would have to check with the kitchen to see if it was available. It was not! We placed our order and once she dropped our food off we never saw her again until she brought the bill. When we did arrive she asked if we had a reservation and we did it was 5:30 and not a single person in the restaurant. That should have been my cue to eat elsewhere. We won't be going back

The food was decent, but the service was absolutely terrible. Forcing a minimum 18% tip is completely unreasonable, especially given the poor service. To make matters worse, the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional. Definitely not worth the experience.

The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.

The best authentic Middle Eastern food in the Bay Area. I’ve tried them ALL. Amazing food.

Food was great. We came in right before it closed, and service was still really good. They were very willing to make adjustments to accommodate a vegan diet. We'd definitely go back.

Arabian Nights SF offers delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. I loved the flavorful chicken shawarma, the mezza platter with its variety, the perfectly spiced batata Harrah, and the crispy fried cauliflower. Great spot for authentic flavors.
The food was well flavored, but everything that wasn’t freshly cooked was ice cold. My partners mujadhara was completely dry. Nothing came with sauce but it really needed it. Not sure why they are open so late, they really didn’t seem to want to serve anyone!

Was excited to try out a new spot, and immediately felt pretty ignored by most of the staff. Even though it was totally empty inside. Once we finally got seated, we were served ice cold baba ghanoush and pita. I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen before. The entrees came out overcooked with no garnish or sauce. A disappointing experience; you can get way better for your money in Mission.

The food here is freshly made, meat is halal and food is really delicious. Even the desserts are served fresh. The restaurant is in a location that looks sketchy but the neighbourhood is not bad, just dimly lit and empty after 8pm. Lot of seating area and staff is quick in service. The menu is not very expansive but the food is good! Really recommend the chicken shish taouk plate. We have been here twice and always get that.

I think the standard of this restaurant has gone down. Food is decent but not as good. We ordered Mazeh platter, lamb chops, chicken kabob and Zatar bread. We thought for the money, food was not that great. Service I would say is poor. There was no attention to detail or courtesy to check if we needed anything. We ordered tea which was actually cold. To top it off, this Mission area has started to give a feel of a getto. Sorry but there are better options available in Bay Area for Arabic food.
