I have eaten at Sahara a few times and the food is always great! For lunch I have the house hummus, spicy lentil soup and rosewater lemonade. All were excellent. The hummus and bread alone are worth making a trip. The bread is fresh and warm, everything...Read More

The food was phenomenal. I got lamb kebab and came with soup or salad. I got the red lentil soup which was delicious and they give you pita with some dips and olives (on the house). It’s also byob. Their bulgur is phenomenal! Just go!

It’s not very often that you find a restaurant that checks all the boxes and Sahara is one of them. Everything about this place is top shelf - the staff, the food, the service, the menu, the perfect balance of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options...Read More

One of the very best restaurants ever! I’ve been about 15 times, and the quality, passion, and consistency with the flavors and service are unparalleled. Purely delicious! I would probably sell my soul for the cous cous beef & vegetable stew. 10/10

Food is amazing. I had the lamb chops and the hummus which is probably the best I've had. Been to other similar places but the quantity of the food is always less than Sahara's. Prices are reasonable. 100% recommended.

Decided to visit for an early dinner and had a great experience. They made some hot fresh bread which we ate with the hummus and baba ganoush. The lamb shank was delicious and the meat just fell off the bone.

The food was absolutely amazing! The portions were HUGE and full of delicious, savory, super flavorful middle eastern food that came out quickly! The only con was the very limited parking.
