Customer Reviews
I recently dined at Sahara Restaurant and it was one of the best Mediterranean dining experiences I’ve had in the area. The food is full of rich flavours. The breads are perfectly baked and paired with their dips. The highlight was the strong and aromatic Turkish coffee. Welcoming ambience and great service. Highly recommended for high-quality Mediterranean cuisine.
Awesome food, ordered Nile chicken, couscous salad, chipotle hummus, baba ganoush and on the house pita bread was amazing. Every-time i visit this place return fully satisfied
I never knew this place existed as a (broke college) student, despite the central location and bright lights. Husband says this was his go-to spot to take first dates when he wanted to impress (although he never took me and ours was at Destination Dogs lol), and for good reason too. The indoor decor is spacious and beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and the food is ethnically unique and delicious. Been here twice on weeknights with friends, never had to wait for a table but both times it was quite popular (and there's never space in their dedicated parking lot). During my last visit, we split a veggie platter (with their warmly baked pita to swoop up every last bit) and their duck special (who knew passionfruit sauce would go so PERFECT with mash potatoes & succulent quack steak??)
Absolutely Outstanding – A True Taste of the Mediterranean! What a fantastic lunch we had at Sahara Restaurant today! The moment we stepped in, the warm, authentic ambiance welcomed us — beautiful traditional decor, soft lighting, and that genuine Middle Eastern hospitality that instantly makes you feel at ease during the daytime. We kicked off with the freshly baked pita (hot and fluffy right from the brick oven — impossible to stop eating!), creamy and smoky baba ghanoush, and delicious stuffed grape leaves that were packed with flavor and clearly made with love. For our mains, the lamb kebabs and chicken kebabs were absolutely top-class — tender, juicy, perfectly spiced, and grilled to perfection. Portions were generous, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The service was friendly,
A great BYO spot! They didn’t take any reservations so we ended up waiting for a bit! But the food was great, the chipotle hummus was super creamy and spicy! The special chicken platter for 4 people was the perfect sampler! A ton of delicious meats, and many different styles of seasonings! I was particularly impressed with the perfect spices on the chicken Adana! The rice was cooked well and paired nicely with the chicken; and the pita was always hot and fresh! Will definitely be back
