The difficulty in exploring exotic cuisine: it must be authentic and delicious. Just like local Taiwanese cuisine, not every restaurant is delicious, so if you judge it based on the decoration or the nationality of the chef, it will still be distorted and misunderstood.

Thousand and One Nights Kitchen is one of the few places where the decoration style, food quality, and even prices are quite honest. The store is filled with various Middle Eastern-style utensils or lamps, with Persian carpets hanging high on the walls, and it specializes in Iranian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

For me, the characteristic and strength of Middle Eastern cuisine lies in the meat, whether it is beef, mutton, chicken, or fish (Islam does not eat pork). It is marinated with spices and often has ground meat dishes, so I always eat it when I go there many times. It’s too full, so I suggest you eat with caution even if you think you’re a big eater!

According to the investigation, the boss was originally a trader and gradually expanded various business projects. For example, "saffron" is often used in in-store cuisine. Although it is often regarded as the most expensive spice in the world, it is widely used here because Persia is a major exporting country.

Since I am not good at describing the taste of Middle Eastern cuisine, I will only introduce a few of my favorites and see the photos for the rest.

Baklava was one of the first reasons I wanted to go to this restaurant. It has a crispy exterior and is filled with nuts and rose water. The aroma is delicate and charming when you bite it. It is best served as a dessert with some iced tea or coffee.
Saffron rice: its taste is extremely fragrant, the rice grains are dry, and its aroma can still be felt when chewing in the mouth.
The front row is a rare fresh carrot juice, the back row is saffron juice, but the main flavor is passion fruit.
Even if it's just pan-fried salmon, this one still minces the fish a little and mixes it with spices, giving it the same style as other meats.
This shop has a lot of stewed eggplants…
Highly recommended: Saffron ice cream, you need to go to the beverage counter and ask the restaurant staff to serve it. It contains pistachio pieces and unique spices. The other ball is peanut flavored, which is pretty good too.
