Editorial Review for Baghdad Nights – by Lorraine Sanders
As obsessed as we clearly are with Iraq, strange that hardly anyone's tried the food; turns out the palette is pretty similar to it's Mesopotamian brothers, which is to say, pretty tasty. While most of the city's Middle Eastern eateries are either overtly trendy and overdone or ultra-casual joints serving cheap fare to-go, Baghdad Nights fits right in the middle: moderate prices, interesting decor, and a raised back section that easily lends itself to private events make this an attractive choice for larger parties. Kebabs and lamb dishes, especially the beraini and quzi, are among the specialties here, though vegetarians will find plenty of meatless options peppering the menu. Saturday night belly dancing performances cast a festive spirit over the dark wood tables, cushioned seats and pale yellow walls hung with colorful tapestries and framed depictions of Iraq--as it once was, at least.

Don't let the Neon Sign and front entrance fool you. This little place has great ambiance. The service was absolutely ABSOLUTELY fantastic. The food was a wonderful blend of being light/healthy portions but perfectly done hints of flavor in everything. So often we are accustomed to food that is inundated with herbs, sauces, muddling the flavors and cooking. This place uses light touches of flavoring and sauces and tones everything down making the food some of the best Middle Eastern food we've had in San Francisco. A definite must try. I expect this place to become popular very quickly!
Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance
Cons: Lighting (dim), Front Signage (kinda cheesy)
