Arabian Nights in Swindon

I celebrated my 60th birthday here. What a wonderful welcome. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Food absolutely fabulous. So tasty. We used a private area which was fantastic for the family where we were all able to relax and enjoy the beautiful meal. Will be back again very soon.

As others have said, great food and service. The staff know the menu and have the right balance with attentive service. The food was perfect, simples.

Sunday, the restaurant was empty but the food was still first class. Homus and mezze at its best. There is a lot of takeaway here

Great food and restaurant and friendly Owner Moatz definitely recommend

Great place for great food. Excellent taste and variety.

Everything was beautiful, the food and the behavior of the service providers

We had a very good experience. Food and service was excellent .Muhammad specially looked after us. Would highly recommend this place.

A little expensive but well cooked and well presented food. Would go again

Ordered a mix platter only to get 3 little pieces of lamb, chicken and a fish finger size kofta. For £18. Not worth it at all.

Great food and service - only one other person eating in, so lacked a little atmosphere. The food was really authentic and very tasty at a great price. I will certainly go again

Very polite staff. 6/10 overall. The food was promptly served. The tabouleh was very fresh with a good presentation. Prawns were not bad but not brilliant, The rest of our meal was good. The Baklawa was 2 out of 10 not bad particularly but we have had a lot better elsewhere, perhaps it just from the fridge and not as fresh as its is a Sunday with no one in the restaurant ordering. The place is very clean and we will come back.

We attended as a large group of 10 for a late lunch. Staff were welcoming and accomodating with dietary requirements, providing good advice on what to order. The fresh juices were really well received and so pretty! We all opted for the platters, where you get starters, mains of a mixed grill and dessert for a pretty reasonable fee- the platter for 2 worked out at roughly £26 each. The food was plentiful and of fantastic quality, we were pleased to be offered takeaway containers for what we could not manage! Well worth a visit and would love to return.

Excellent service. We were offered free hummus starter because of having a slight extra wait for our mains. We ordered tea not knowing it was given without charge. Fantastic!!!! We enjoyed our food, which is such a generous portion.

Really lovely place.....delicious and beautiful food, made in good time by very friendly staff, my boyfriend and I came here for date night and were very pleased with our whole experience here which was topped off with a complimentary mint tea as a surprise 😍 Would highly recommend, we will be back, thank you Arabian nights 🌙

Worst delivery ever. 6 out of 7 items I had ordered were substituted for other things without asking first. The delivery was more than an hour late and worst of all, the food that was delivered had clearly been expired for some time.

Family event and was great, Staff are brilliant food was amazing once again

It was amazing the food was delicious and the mango milkshake was incredible and overall great. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!

The food was amazingly delicious and very nicely detailed. The staff were very friendly which made a great experience. It was also very neat and tidy so I highly recommend Arabian Nights.

Excellent food and service. Amazing staff!

We were a group of eight here last week for an 'iftah' during the first week of Ramadan. It's a relaxed, informal setting: not at all pretentious but comfortable, very clean and equally welcoming. Mutaz (Mo) and Mohammed had prepared a mixed meze as a starter followed by the chicken cabsa. Both courses were generous, cooked beautifully and very well presented. I could have maxed out on the starters alone - just fabulous food. Accompanied by a selection of traditional drinks, we really had a feast. There was barely room for the delicious baklava, other sweet delicacies and tea afterwards, but we managed it all anyway! This is a genuine find - a great restaurant: authentic, welcoming and good value.

Ordered a take away. Very disappointed with the small portion size. Definitely not worth the money. PLUS there was a black curly hair found in the food. TOTALLY DISGUSTING. Feel cheated.

excellent restaurant wonderful food and service out of 10

The service is luxurious The taste is very good and distinct

Ordered a takeaway. We were VERY disappointed. The portion sizes are SMALL. Not worth the money. PLUS, there was a black hair found in one of the dish. DISGUSTING.

11/10, went for the first time for a date night, the food was incredible and the staff were lovely, very reasonably priced and live my atmosphere. We will most definitely be going back

Really had a lovely time hosts brilliant food lovely couldn't do enough for you would definitely go there again.Good portions of food.

Amazing food and wonderful staff! Must visit for anyone in swindon!

Excellent place. Top quality food. Tried chef's special of the day. Very friendly owner. Highly recommended.

Had a takeaway tonigh and the food was delivered hot and the quality was first class. Very flavoursome and tested amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Authentic Lebanese cuisine, delicious food, friendly staff and wonderful customer service. My and pal had an amazing experience, worth visiting once.

I have tried the new menu twice since the new opening and in a word all I can say is WOW. the quality was outstanding and the dish of the day (lamb shank) was amazing, great value for money and the portion was very generous

Brilliant food when delivered at home. The new chef definitely has brought a good change. The food tasted aithentic and the portions were generous. Will definitely order/visit again!

Absolutely brilliant, platter for 2 more than we could eat really good quality food and above that the staff are incredible friendly.

Fantastic food. Great value and really friendly service. Highly recommend.

I loved eating out at this place especially the kofta meshwi. I only gave 4 stars as the portion was a bit smaller than what i am usually used to in other Arab restaurants but otherwise the food and hospitality was excellent.

Excellent service and amazing Arabian food love this place.

Delicious meats and caring staff.

Party for 12. Downstairs. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. What more could we ask for! Perfect!

Bought the chicken shawarma main course.....chicken is definitely not cooked like a shawarma and tasted boiled. The half chicken looked several days old and heated up.

Cannot recommend Arabian Nights enough. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the food and drinks are amazing but the shisha flavours are just out of this world 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 You won’t find anything better in Swindon or in these parts!

I dined there on 14/11/2023 and was disappointed by the experience. It left me questioning the reviews. Despite arriving during opening hours, my companion and I waited until 3:20 for our food. The service could have been better, with waiters disappearing, and the food tasted off and rancid, lacking authentic Lebanese flavours. Portions were small, and prices were high. The only positive was a clean environment. I cannot recommend the restaurant due to poor service and subpar cuisine. Afterall, it's mainly a shisha lounge.

Dive into the captivating narratives of Arabian Nights and be transported to a world of fantasy and tradition.

very nice too... giant sharing platter for 2, great vfm... restaurant just a touch small imo... food delicious, particularly kufta... Nice work fellas

Arabian Nights offers an enchanting escape into a world of captivating stories and rich cultural heritage.

The food was not good at all and it seemed undercooked.

Good food and the ice pipe was great

Firstly, the food served was not hot, and the chips were undercooked, nearly green from the ends. This led to a less-than-pleasant dining experience, as I had expected hot and well-prepared dishes. Secondly, I couldn’t help but notice the significantly reduced portion sizes, especially in the onion rings. The portions seemed tiny, and it was evident that the ingredients were not fresh, which left a negative impression on the quality of your offerings. Lastly, I ordered the chicken shawarma, but it turned out to be far from my expectations. It tasted more like boiled chicken wrapped in pita bread, lacking the flavorful and authentic taste I had anticipated. And finally the receipt without not clear at all and without the final bill!!

Ordered 7 items. More than half were substituted, with one item not even being counted on the order at all. The food I received as a substitute wasn’t consulted with me first and even worse… It had obviously completely gone-off and stank.

Went there with my wife, we were just passing through Swindon. Food was incredible! We came during slow hours, but I was surprised there weren't more people there. The interior was very clean and stylish, the staff was so friendly, the food seemed very authentic and extremely flavorful! We loved it!

Transported me to a world of genies, magic carpets, and brave heroes. The stories linger long after you've left.

Best place for sheesha in swindon

Decided at short notice to take my wife out for a meal and to try something different. We went for the 3 course for 2 at £52 and it was nothing short of a masterpiece of a meal. The starter was cooked to order with a selection of small appetisers falafel and prawns with small samosas. A very nice fresh salad with humus and taziki. Our main then came out a selection of beautiful cooked meats and the lamb shish was possibly the best I've ever tasted. Chicken was fresh as was the kofte. Dessert was baklava which we took home and ate. If you're thinking of trying this place go for it great food friendly staff and a warming atmosphere to suit..

The allure of Arabian Nights is simply irresistible. I found myself lost in the tales, each one more captivating than the last.

So far so good, we paid £90 for a dinner I think its a bit pricey but overall we all happy Kids were happy chatting with Arabic guy there, they had Oreo milk shake that’s made them extra happy 😃 .

Service was good, but sorry guys the food wasn't anything special. Recognise that Lebanese food is a mix of spices and meats, but we really could have done with a light tatziki style sauce or something to balance the textures. Asked for garlic sauce and out comes a cheap garlic Mayo. Some simple, fresh, cheap to make (homemade garlic mayo!!) homemade touches would transform the food, it just lacked care for a £18 mixed grill! Won't be returning unfortunately.

Fantastic service and Food Friendliest staff ever!! Defo recommend

Best shisha and delicious food. The owner very kind and hospitable he serves us so delights Arabic baklawa free and i would highly recommend their food especially the mix maza plates and the farooj chicken.

Get the meal for 2 and smashed it, my kids loved it, thank u bro 🙏

مكان هادئ وجميل والأكل فيه لذيذ جداً

Comfortable seating is key to enjoying a great meal, and this Lebanese restaurant understands that. The seating arrangements are cozy and well-spaced, allowing you to dine in comfort and style. Sit back, relax, and savor the flavors!

The starters were great and so were the drinks.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly! Would recommend!

Terrible food, what a disappointment. The quality was poor and high prices for what you receive. You would be better going to fast food than this place. The waiter was friendly though.

Head to this Lebanese restaurant for a delicious lunch. They offer a diverse lunch menu with options ranging from light and refreshing salads to hearty wraps and platters. It's an excellent spot for

Taste not good. Very little quantity for 17 pounds

Lovely service,kind staff and food was amazing. Not bad price as well and received complimentary traditional tea and pastries.

End your meal on a high note with a cup of their rich and aromatic Lebanese coffee. The coffee is brewed to perfection, offering a delightful blend of flavors. It's the perfect pick-me-up after a satisfying meal.

Food is very good. They put halal next to their name but they sell alcoholic drinks. Why do you write halal when you sell alcohol? Food is halal does not mean your business is an alcohol free one. 3 star for this, sorry couldn’t give you more.

This Lebanese restaurant takes their tea seriously! Their tea selection is extensive, offering a variety of flavors and blends. From aromatic herbal teas to traditional black tea, there's something for everyone. It's a delightful experience for tea lovers.

We hired the VIP lounge for a birthday party and Mo and his team were absolutely brilliant. We had drinks and shisha, could get there early to decorate and had control of the music. Absolutely fantastic service, lots of options for non drinkers. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much! The mango mojito is absolutely amazing 😋

Wine lovers rejoice! This Lebanese restaurant offers an extensive wine list featuring both local and international selections. From full-bodied reds to crisp whites, you'll find the perfect wine to pair with your meal.

Indulge in their delicious cocktails while savoring the authentic flavors of Lebanon. The mixologists at this restaurant create unique and refreshing cocktails that perfectly complement the cuisine. A great way to unwind!

The Lebanese restaurant has a good variety of beers to complement their flavorful cuisine. Whether you prefer a light lager or a rich ale, you'll find something to satisfy your beer cravings here.

Superb food and service, would definitely go again

For those looking to enjoy a drink with their Lebanese meal, this restaurant offers a great selection of alcoholic beverages. From beers to wines and spirits, there's something for every preference. Cheers!

Just went for some late night shisha and cocktails, brilliant

I appreciate the wheelchair-accessible seating options at this restaurant. They have thoughtfully arranged the seating area, making it spacious and accommodating for individuals with mobility challenges. It's great to see such attention to detail.

The restaurant is wheelchair-accessible, with a well-designed entrance that makes it easy for everyone to access. They have paid attention to inclusivity, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and comfortable.

This Lebanese restaurant provides quick service without compromising on quality. The efficient staff ensures that you're served promptly, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying meal even when you're in a rush.

Mixed grill not worth the price. Spent £16 for a few pieces of meat and piece of pepper JOKE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We have had an Eid party organised at our place over the weekend. Arabian nights provided us with the catering services. The food was utterly delicious. They catered to all our last minute requests and changes quite patiently. Delivered it to excellence. Provided us with staff who prepared live BBQ and drinks. Very friendly and humble staff. The whole experience went on pretty smoothly. The guests were really pleased and so were we. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you once again.

Tasty food, friendly staff and value for money.

It's a good restaurant in the main downtown and its Halal. They serve sheesha at the back. Food is good and better than average

Fantastic shisha, some of the best I've smoked. Interior could do with some work.

Too expensive for a small dish.... 🙄

The food was divine, especially that special sauce could not get enough of it! Will definitely come again!!

Food tasted wonderful and the service was great. Grilled lamb and chicken was really delicious even the Lebanes rice was tasty too. Loved the prawn appetiser and hummus 😃 We went on a Sunday, was not really busy and we've been served well with a nice and polite waiter. Will definitely recommend this place. Cons: Ambience could be improved further as the other side of the restaurant was bit dark. Other than that, rest are wonderful - food and service 😎

We've found this Middle Eastern cuisine in heart of Swindon Town centre and based on all lovely reviews we've decided to pay a visit. Choosing the set menu for 2, we've waited over 40min to see the starter and main course to arrive together. I asked the waiter with a surprise, is that right? And he answered, yes because we've just opened! not sure what is the relation to that ? Any way food was ok, not the best Lebanese food I've tried, rice was old and dry and obviously main course was cold by the way we finished the starter.

At the time I arrived the restaurant was dark, like no one was in !! Then I asked for one of the best food on the menu because I wanted to try meat and chicken they referred to mixed Kabab. The quality of the meat was awful, dry and not tasty also the same thing about lamb chops. A chicken was a little bit better. Rice was absolutely terrible not fresh rice like heated up in the microwave I'm sure rice was cooked 3 days ago. even not a tasty salad.fine bill coming for that food they charge me 27 pounds 😒 3.25 just a coke!! not recommended at all

Very nice restaurant staff were nice and help full the food is very tasty and reasonable price . I would come back differently.

Lovely generous portions of plates filled with grilled meat and salads. Antony who served us was sweet and lovely. No vegetarian options, i.e. separate dish for vegetarians, however plenty of accompanying salad so can't complain☺️

Been coming here for about 2-3 years now. Their flavour selection of shisha is 10/10 They have a wide range of starters and main courses to satisfy your palate. The platter’s portion is huge and you will definitely be leaving huge 🤝 Don’t forget about the fresh juices and milkshakes they have! One of the best places to visit in Swindon to have a relaxing dining experience!

last night on my visit i asked for something they didn't have, The owner went out of his way to make sure I was happy, The food was great but the customer service was even better. Thanks guys

Food is good, nothing special or extraordinary but far too expensive for the price. The plater for 2 (chef special) cost a whopping £52 pounds with very little in quantity. The set up of the restaurant is ordinary. Staff is good. Wouldn't visit again if given a chance

Lovely food and great service with some appreciated advice when ordering. The dishes were hot, tasty and plentiful with delicious salad dishes to compliment. I would definitely eat here again. Only loses a star for me due to the price of the bottled beers. £4.80 for a 33cl bottle of Peroni is approaching Scandinavian price levels!

The food was fresh and good, no issues the waiter and waitress were always coming over to check if the food was good. The Only thing is meal x

Price is really high, choice is very limited, portion size is reasonable, chicken was dry and bland. Ask for garlic sauce, you get ordinary mayo. Staff were nice and food arrived quickly, piping hot, portion size reasonable. We visit arabian/grilled/lebanese food establishments regularly and this one was a one off disappointment.

Worst shawarma I’ve ever had. In fact I wouldn’t call it a shawarma. Marinated chicken, yellow in colour with a bit of lettuce. Very small - three bites and finished. Not worth £2.50, certainly not £7.50.

Over priced, mediocre food, waiters on your back all the times so tht you eat and leave early as quickly as possible. Small.portions of meal. Not going there again!

Very small portions. I have ordered a burger and the bun was very dry and of a bad quality
