I love to help folk who want to avoid bad restaurants and especially to have excellent culinary experiences. I am grateful for others who lead me to memorable dining spots. This is one of them. One Arabian Night is tucked away in a scrappy part of Utica, NY. It's a Yemeni place so authentic at one point the chef came out during a call to prayer, unrolled a little rug and prayed. It's a beautiful thing. People being authentic and showing devotion. These guys are also devoted to flavor, and very generous portions at very good, honest prices. I got the succulent mixed lamb, which had chopped veggies and little pieces of roast potatoes. The dish came with a HUGE "sheet" of freshly baked flat bread with sesame seeds (as big as a pizza) WHO DOES THAT?! Side dishes were a fresh chopped salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and lettuce with lemon juice and parsley, a bowl of very tasty lamb broth and a spicy chutney. I was blown away. When I was there it was catering only to Arabic families and men amiably chatting and eating with their hands. I was taught by my mom to respect other cultures and do as they do: so I observed the locals a little and dug in -ripping bread off and using it to grab finger fulls of food. It was wonderful. They also have an urn of self-serve sweet spiced tea to help make this a unique and unmissable dining experience in Utica. Go! And please leave your xenophobia behind. This ancient civilization (one of the world's OLDEST) has something to teach the most hardened burger-chomping American.

The two guys are in the car or super friendly and helpful despite a growing line behind us to our indecisions. They have meat on the spit as well as a supply that has been pre-sliced sitting on the griddle. You can order either chicken, lamb or a combo. Everyone in our party got the lamb. There's about 20 different toppings and sauces that you can have them put on at no extra charge. Kind of a cool little dining area to eat with a bunch of small tables. Th pita was soft and fresh and the toppings or all high-quality and traditional. For $13 you get enough for a meal and leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I had ordered it through Doordash and it was delivered warm, stacked to the brim, and so flavorful! I had the combo box that comes with chicken and lamb and I also chose spicy rice with lettuce, banana peppers, white sauce, green sauce, and hot sauce and the flavors all go super well together. I also really appreciate that it comes with sliced pita pieces. I had ordered this on Wednesday and immediately ordered again Friday night. This might become one of my new go-to's! Their servings are easily big enough for two meals or one to share.

It took a bit of time to get our food, but once I realized that it was cooked to order I understood the wait. Then once I saw the portions I thought..."bonus".

I did not specifically drive here from Marcellus to eat here...but as good as it was I could see making the drive from Marcellus just for this chicken. Total FAN...

The "popular" cheese pull mozz planks taste microwaved and have zero cheese pull. Dave's sauce leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is a far cry from hits like Zaxbys sauce. There is absolutely zero reason to order from Dave's given the shear number of other chicken places in the area. You could literally get better service, better quality and better prices at any other place. There's just no way you see this chicken and say "yeah I'd absolutely want to order this again"

The owner eventually came around after a few minutes and offered me a glass of water while I waited. He was very pleasant. I ordered an entrée, chicken tikka saag (which included basmati rice), naan, aloo paratha, raitha (not included with breads; ordered separately) and gulab jamun. In about 10 minutes my order was ready. I was there slightly after dinner service hours. I did notice that there were a couple of tables that had not been cleaned, but it looked like there was only one server working the dining room. The food was good. I had ordered medium spicy for my entrée, and when I ate at home it was not spicy to me. I'm not sure if they accidentally made it mild or not. It looks like it is a popular spot for locals. They do offer beer and wine, and it does look like they may make some mixed drinks as I noted some bottles of mixer, which may be for the Lassi drinks. All in all, it was a good experience. The food was decent. I would go back again.
