Arabian Nights | Our Story
Ismail's Vision on Mission Street
Welcome to Arabian Nights! Come and experience our delicious Mediterranean cuisine of speciality traditional dishes using premium ingredients, enjoy our signature charbroiled meats and home-made mezza (small plates) and freshly baked pitta bread – straight from the oven to your table; paired with our wide selection of fine wines and beers.
The Kitchen Behind the Reputation
The charbroiled meats carry that unmistakable kiss of open flame, the mezza is hand-prepared in-house, and the pitta comes straight from the oven — nothing here is a shortcut.
A Room That Transports You
Arched doorways, Moroccan lanterns, and a golden-walled dining corridor set the mood before the first dish arrives. The back patio, with its hookah and lounge atmosphere, turns an evening into an occasion.
The Guests Who Keep Coming Back
Mission Local declared the food "as good if not better than ever," novelist C Pam Zhang credited Arabian Nights' toum and pitta as fuel for writing a book, and 800+ Yelp reviews speak for themselves.
