Quick Review: Baghdad Nights 682 Haight St

Had an early dinner at 6pm last nite at this restaurant based on recommendation from friends

Decor: Middle Eastern meets San Francisco, warm with a modern touch, 2 levels of dining space with a short staircase in between.

Location 682 Haight Street, SF 41581-6111

Food: For two people. We ordered the Maza Platter for 2 (mix of cold appetizers - parsley salad, eggplant salad, pickled vegetables, etc), Kubba (hot appetizer of minced rice with minced meat filling, Quzi (boneless lamb shank over rice with cream sauce), Custard dessert, Iraqi Coffee and tea. Waitress was very nice (from Dublin Ireland I think based on accent) and explained the dishes very well.

Total Bill: $52 plus tips

Impression: Definitely would return. The food was good everall. Everything tasted fresh and well made. Some of the food reminded me of Moroccan food at Tajine restaurant on Polk with a twist. Loved the Iraqi coffee. They will have belly dancer performing in the future at 10pm (forgot which nites). They have a full beer and wine list which I didn't go thru.

Definitely recommend. I think you would want reservations for prime dining hours. We walked in at 6pm and we had no problem with tables
