Stumbled upon this place while I was staying in San Francisco for a work conference. Amazing and authentic falasteeni food🇵🇸. I have spent a lot of time in both Dearborn & Chicago, 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, and 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, I wish all the success to the owner & staff!

Arabian Nights in San Francisco is a true culinary gem. The kebabs are absolutely outstanding — perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and bursting with flavor. Every bite is 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!

The food in this place is amazing! We ordered a few salads, flatbreads, kebobs and everything was delicious! Their patio is cute and they have heaters!
