This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was truly impressed. They specialize in authentic Middle Eastern food, and the taste was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was honestly the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff were extremely respectful, welcoming, and professional. They made me feel valued and comfortable the entire time. The restaurant is very clean, well-organized, and has a classy atmosphere. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Middle Eastern cuisine and top-tier service. I will definitely be coming back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Yesterday we stopped at Sahara for lunch. The food was delicious and amazing staff. Very accommodating and prices are reasonable. The owner is a fantastic person, Naeema was incredibly kind, welcoming and even offered free food. We ordered the falafel platter and fried calamari. Highly recommend their deserts with the Turkish coffee.

This place is truly phenomenal. All of their food is so delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Their babaganoush is one of the best things I've ever eaten. I also love their Greek chicken souvlaki sandwich. It's loaded with meat and tzatziki sauce. The owner and staff are so kind and attentive, as well. Highly recommend trying this place out!!!
