“Stopped by a couple months ago and finally getting around to making a post. I can't remember what I originally ordered, but it wasn't available and they offered an alternative which was the chicken kabob and I am glad they mentioned it because it was great. Also, the hookah and service were also decent and better priced than some other spots. Not to mention, the patio is a nice touch. I can tell this place garners some regulars too, which is a good sign to me. Definitely worth checking out and supporting this local business.“
“Everything I've tried here is fantastic. They give you very generous portions for a great price! Super nice people who own and run it. Even after moving farther away we still drive to get it! All their hummus flavors are delicious, such a cute hidden gem!“
“Wanted a gyro, but couldn't locate it on the menu. That was a good thing, because I asked for a recommendation, and the gentleman recommended a chicken shawarma, and it didn't disappoint! Fresh crisp veggies, lots of flavor and the sauce was excellent!“
“We stopped in for dinner as I finished a workout at the next door Planet Fitness and was drawn by the beautiful patio. Too chilly to sit outside, we diner indoors and enjoyed the incredibly eclectic decor as we reviewed the menu. We both chose a platter, me chicken, my friend lamb. They started with an incredible lentil soup. I dove in before I thought to get a good photo. It was really flavorful and creamy. The waitress said the appetizer was whatever the chef decided and we each got an interesting variety, all of it was very good. Entrees were plentiful and did not disappoint. We left satisfied, stuffed, and with enough food for 2 more meals. Highly recommend Sumer Nights. My one observation, the elevator music kills the vibe. It definitely isn't it. We would have enjoyed something more appropriate to the menu. Overall, great find!“
“I wanted to try authentic, traditional Palestinian food to show my solidarity with their people's struggle for freedom. I was visiting my sister in Sacramento, and she recommended Basha Taste of Jerusalem. They start you off with complimentary fresh baked flat bread and olive oil which tasted divine! We ordered the "Mansaf" lamb and chicken dish, and the "Maqluba" upside-down chicken and rice dish. It was absolutely phenomenal! The portions are very generous and we had lots of left overs to-go that tasted just as great the next day. I loved the interior décor and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town to try more dishes that are not common at generic "Middle Eastern / Mediterranean" restaurants.“
“The owner is the chef. He is kind, friendly and generous. The food is all fresh, and made at the moment with care (and very fast since he has a great oven). The portions are generous and the flavor is amazing. I was greatly surprised. Great fresh ingredients and great flavor. You have to try it.The place itself is simple and looks more like a place to take food for home. I know it has some chairs and tables outside, but I don't care to take the food home. We had a great dinner.“
“Want a warm welcome and sweet treats while you wait for healthy excellent food??? We do!This is the best thing about Arden.Just heard he was hit by an out of control driver.Wishing he isn't hurt and that he can get back to serving the best food in Sacramento.Vegetarian options: The spicy sauce on the falafel salad is so wonderful.“
“This was a big favorite of ours until it closed during covid and went out of business which we lamented greatly. The new owners have kept the name, most of the decor although we were told today a few changes in that are coming. The menu seems very similar to me and the lamb shank that I was so fond of was just as good. The two friends that went with me today had never been there and they both loved it and can't wait to go back. We all had the lamb shank and the eggplant appetiser.“

“I always pass by this restaurant and I go to the convenience store next to it to buy lotto never been there but I decide to try today and surprisingly the food is really tasty. I would recommend to anybody go and try it. They ran out of beef, I will try beef Shawarma next time.“
“We cater quite frequently at work and this is our only go to once a month option. Food is always great, service is amazing and everyone loves when we choose this for our meal. We will continue to use him for as long as we can. I also get the badmash burger which is fire best burger ever.“
“I think I've eaten at every Persian place in Sacramento by now, as well as a few of the Iraqi and Afghani places, and for sure there is a lot of great kabob and rice to be had at many of these places. I would rate Famous Kabob recently as one of the best. The Koubideh (ground beef) Kabob they serve is nicely cooked, tender, juicy, and the rice is always very good. I think I've been to this restaurant 6 or 7 times by now, and I'd say the quality has improved in the past couple of years. It's definitely a go-to when I need to place group orders for pickup.“
“Everyone needs to eat here. The food is delicious, affordable, and so fresh! The people who run it are very kind and the the pita bread is fresh baked and still hot from the oven. This is a hidden Sacramento gem! My new go-to when I'm in this neighborhood.“
“Decided to give it a try and did not disappoint. Such a good price for how amazing the food was. I was told 10 minutes, 10 minutes later as I was about to exit my car, one of the workers walked out in the rain to hand me my food. Amazing food and amazing service:)“
