    falafel rice & salad plate and planet chicken shawarma
    Terri S.

    So delicious! They load it up, super generous with our portions in my opinion, and great fresh ingredients. The worker said they make everything like it's home made, from scratch, and I can definitely tell. It tasted comforting! I love falafel, and he gave me a lot of pieces, and everything in my plate was seasoned so well. We also got their baklava, and it was crispy, airy, and super light. Most baklava that I've had, were way too sweet. But theirs is amazing and made fresh. The worker was great! He was chatting with us while making our food and he was really kind.

    This is not a regular shawarma place. This is the BEST shawarma place. They're always above and beyond with service and food. It's impossible to capture flavor in a picture but it's amazing. Pro tip: ask for garlic sauce Pro tip #2: if you like spicy sauce ask for it too (my hubby loves spicy and he's obsessed with it.

    Service was amazing and the staff was friendly. It was my first time there so I asked for recommendations and it was followed up with questions to gauge my taste, which was in point. My bowl was delicious and definitely plan to return for future luncheons.

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.

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! +

    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.

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.
