A friend of mine was craving Arabian food and we found this place on Google. The food was amazing and the guy who served us was so nice that we just started to have a conversation with him. We went on a Saturday for lunch and it was only just me and my friend in the restaurant so it was a quiet atmosphere. We ordered the Lamb Shawarma, Chicken Shawarma, Chai ice tea, hot tea, and Kunafa. Everything was delicious! Thank you for everything!

So glad we stopped by to finally try them out. The food is delicious, fresh, and full of flavor! Highly recommend supporting this restaurant. Especially if you enjoy trying new cuisines, tasting foods from other cultures & have an international palate 10/10 advise you try out their take on these foods! Btw, the lamb is so tender!!

This man cooked from his heart and the food was fabulous. His internet was down and he offered to let us eat and pay later. What a kind soul. There was a bank nearby so we didn't accept but it showed us his heart. I felt like I was eating at this mans house and he was my favorite uncle or something. This is my new favorite place. The best hummus I've ever tasted and the chicken was absolutely perfect. He even gave us tea at the end of our meal. Will definitely be back.

A wonderful cafe/restaurant! The owner was so kind to us and took the time to give food recommendations and answer any questions we had! He even brought us tea on the house at the end

Ordered from here through doordash for the first time tonight and it was SO GOOD I had to share. Chai tea: amazing, super flavorful Lamb chops w/rice, salad, fries & pita bread: the lamb was actually tender and not over cooked, looooved the rice and tzatziki sauce. BEST PITA BREAD I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! Baklava w/pistachios: sweet and delicious I will love to come here in person some day!

Lovely experience at dinner with my mom tonight. I would love to see this place busier (seems like they do a good DoorDash business) but the owner was so kind and the food was excellent. Not to mention the price point is spot on. The falafel was very tasty and the hummus wowed me. The baklava was outstanding with the crushed pistachio. We were surprised with cardamom tea at the end of our meal and it was delicious. I've never had it before! We will be back. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and service! This place is a gem in the west really! I grew up in metro Detroit where Mediterranean food was very popular but out in Colorado it was hard to find somewhere that offered what home did. Arabian Night, did this and more. My husband and I enjoy eating here very much and the owner is such a pleasant person. The Lamb Shawarma is so good!
