We ordered the BBQ pompano fish and an extra lentil soup for two people. The portions were huge and everything was so good! We especially loved the complimentary bread and mixed appetizer that came with the meal. The baba ganoush was definitely my favorite--so flavorful! The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We left completely stuffed and already talking about what we want to try next time. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! A great little local find.

More Than 5 Stars!…read more Absolutely one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to! If I could give Summer Nights more than 5 stars, I definitely would. The food is always incredibly fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. The bread comes out fresh and hot, which makes the whole meal even better. Everything I've tried tastes authentic, perfectly seasoned, and consistently delicious. The portions are great, and the quality never disappoints. What makes this place even more special is the amazing hospitality and customer service. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, respectful, and makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. Great food, fresh ingredients, hot bread, wonderful service, and a warm atmosphere -- Summer Nights truly deserves more than five stars. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Middle Eastern food. I will definitely keep coming back! +

Our go-to order is the chicken and beef koobideh, along with the dip trio featuring kashk-e bademjan and mast-o-khiar. The kabobs are consistently juicy, tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The kashk-e bademjan is especially good--it is rich, smooth, and practically melts in your mouth. Everything tastes fresh, and our usual dishes have never disappointed us. The restaurant is also located in a good area, although parking can be a little challenging depending on when you arrive. That small inconvenience is worth it for the quality of the food, attentive service, and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend Maydoon for a date night or anyone looking for fresh, flavorful Persian food in Sacramento.

I haven't been here since before the pandemic but decided to try them again while I was downtown…read more I was able to try their happy hour menu and man was it good. I tried their Greek fries, triple dip and souvlaki. All of these dishes were excellent. The service was good albeit a little on the slower side in my opinion to receive my food considering it was pretty dead and quiet when I ordered. Luckily I wasn't in a rush and honestly the freshness was worth the slightly longer wait than I'm used to elsewhere. The ambiance is alright but I honestly don't think ambiance really matters for a fast casual place like this. They had Greek music playing which added to the restaurant's theme. Normally I'm not in the downtown area on weekdays for happy hour but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it today. I'll definitely have to come back.

Freshly baked SAMOON BREAD. Hameed, one of the store managers, thoughtfully baked it fresh for my…read moresandwich and for a 5-piece bag of Samoon bread to go. Samoon is an Iraqi white yeast bread shaped like a diamond or a canoe. The origin is likely from Georgia then brought to Iraq by Armenians immigrants. The first baker to make this bread in Iraq was named Simon, which translates to Samoon in Arabic. My CHICKEN KABOB SANDWICH on Samoon bread with house garlic sauce was so delicious! You have your choice of garlic sauce or tahini sauce, but Hameed told me that the garlic sauce culturally pairs with the Samoon and the tahini sauce with the Pita. You also have your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and pickles. I think the yummy default is to order everything, but I said all but the onion. Wow, who knew that dicing cucumber elevates it to a new level of taste and texture! I mistook it for zucchini. I am all eager to order or make Jerusalem Salad or Israeli Salad now, a salad prepped with those same toppings, except the lettuce. Restaurant is uncomfortably warm with the bread oven, but nothing beats eating food freshly baked and prepared, so I decided to eat my sandwich there. There are just a few tables inside. No outdoor dining. Most people order to go. The savory PIES come in two shapes: a large round and a smaller diamond or canoe shape. Given I have been dreaming of Georgian cheese bread, Adjaruli Khachapuri, for years, I opted for the boat shape and got one MEAT PIE and one CHEESE PIE. The meat was spiced. I heated each in the toaster oven for a few minutes. Fun to eat! Very reasonably priced. I googled the Middle Eastern word for hand pies: Fatayer. The dolmas were also fun and convenient to eat. 10 in a box. Dolmas are marinated grape leaves stuffed with a seasoned rice and rolled into little cigars. Restaurant offers 2 juices made in house: 1. Freshly squeezed OJ that was bright orange in color 2. Fruit punch made with grape juice and black carrot juice Restaurant offers 3 kinds of baklava for dessert! 1. Walnut Baklava 2. Pistachio Baklava 3. Bird Nest Baklava (Arabic: Osh El Bulbul) At home, I enjoyed my Samoon with BABA GHANOUSH and hummus from Mediterranean Bakery. Baba Ghanoush seemed more special to me than the hummus. I did appreciate that the hummus came garnished with a few chickpeas. I also ordered a 1/2 pound of beef shawarma to go. It needed 20 minutes to finish grilling on the rotisserie, so I explored Alibaba International Foods market and the Kind Bean Cafe & Ethiopian Cuisine restaurant in the same plaza. Beef shawarma is marinated in a spiced paste. Lacking all the fresh vegetable toppings, I couldn't assemble as delectable a sandwich at home. If I can tear myself away from the chicken kabob sandwich (kabab, kebab, kebob), I'd be interested in trying the other meat sandwiches: beef kabob, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, chicken shawarma, and beef shawarma. I'd also try salads: Mediterranean Salad, Greek Salad, or Beyrotiya Salad (chickpeas, tomatoes, and cucumbers in olive oil, garlic, cumin, and lemon juice). I procrastinated too long writing this review, so my memory may be failing me. The co-owners of the restaurant are all from the Mediterranean area: Sudan, Lebanon, and Iraq, I believe. Thanks to Hameed for your kind hospitality and food preparation. I'll be back for the Samoon and sandwiches!

The delivery itself was great, but the food wasn't. The salad had cucumbers throughout, and since my body does not do well digesting cucumber, I couldn't eat it. The sharwama sandwhich was squished together, the bread was soggy and most of the meat filling was inedible - it was dried out and not 'chewable'; it was as if they'd saved the overcooked/dry meat for a delivery order. The garlic yogurt dip was good. Also ordered baklava, it was okay. Will not order from them again.

The restuarant is gorgeous with moracan material covering the walls and ceiling. Very authentic. The food was delicious and plentiful. We evenhad some left to take home.

Not only was she extreemly talented and engaging, but she invited the kids to dance with her, which made the whole night welcoming and super fun. It was also very resoanable and they made accomodations for the kids. My olderst granddaughter, age 12, said: "This is a 5 star restaurant!" The 7 year old said: "It's a million stars! When can we come back!" Many thanks for a brilliant and memorable evening, Ruth Magan

The best part of the whole experience was the owner Hisham. He was very friendly when serving us and was super knowledgeable about his culture and food. We could tell he was very passionate about his culture's history and preserving and sharing the knowledge. Whata delightful kind man. My family and I will definitely return when we want a true authentic taste of Morocco.

The service was good just wish they had more a smile. Everyone's personality is different so I got no room to talk. Now to the main reason we're here! I ordered a gyro combo meal with gyro meat (beef and lamb) mix with some fries and drink. The gyro was fat! Huge portion. Also ordered greek plate either gyro meat a side salad and rice. Gyro was good but the Tzaki was really thick, I would order that on the side. Felt like the tzaki and the feta were salty. The fries were FIRE!!!!! Great seasoning. The greek plate was good HUGE PORTIONS! It was so much that we had to take some home. The rice was salty, the salad was hella good and the gyro meat was great. Oh I forgot they have some great orange and passion fruit, lemonade and a watermelon refreshing drinks. One thing that sucked was they didnt have any good hot sauce to put on the food. Tabasco and cholula was all they had. I would prefer something more authentic. I'd give this place 3.5 stars. I drive all the way to the city of Stockton to get some great greek food. I was hoping this would have been a hit so I wouldn't have to drive so far.
