Reviews for Arabian Nights Cafe in Colorado Springs, CO
Great place for middle eastern food. The owner is very nice and the food is delicious. Would come again!
Fantastic experience! I hadn't had Turkish coffee before and thought it was going to be strong and bitter, but the coffee i was... served here was smooth and rich with spices. Tableware was beautiful. Strongly recommend :) Read more

Let me tell you about a magical place called Arabian Nights Cafe. Here, humble little chickpeas are transformed into smooth and... creamy hummus. Falafel arrive at your table crisp on the outside and some how smooth and moist on the inside, bursting with theflavor of herbs and sesame seeds. The shawarma is comprised of carefully marinated meat, warm with spices and alight withflavor. Soft pita, quickly heated on a grill, arrives as an accompaniment to your meal of wonder. Rice, colored yellow andorange by the spices cooked into it, adds a whole new layer of excitement. This was once a small restaurant located at Academyand Jamboree, right near a dollar tree. Tragically, one day it was found to be closed. The cries of lament could be heard acrossthe city, or at least in my own kitchen. Then a few weeks ago a miracle occurred. A small store front at Academy and Flintridgewas lit up with the cafe?s sign. Beckoning weary drivers on Academy, like an oasis on the horizon. The cafe is much humbler thanit was. Paper plates and a smaller menu speak to these harder times. However, the food has not lost any of its magic. As you sitin the cafe, you may hear cries of joy from desperate seekers of delicious food. ?We found you!? They rejoice as they enter thetiny shop, warm aromas greeting them, bringing memories of the culinary delights they have partaken of in the past. The ownergreets each new customer as an honored guest. Except we are the ones who should be honored. A faraway culture has come to ourfair city in the mountains. Gifting us with foods that have enticed pallets for as long as the sands have shifted in the desert.No magic carpet is needed to find this place, just a willingness to navigate the confusing parking lot by the Starbucks.

This is not Arabian food the guy is just deceiving people. Very small portions for such high prices?!! It?s not worth we tried... the fish and gyro very bad. It?s not even gyro it?s just dry beef he cut into small pieces. Don?t waste your money. Read more
