" Loved my experience at Sahara! The staff maintained a friendly disposition throughout, and the warm bread was a highlight. The food was equally impressive, with generous portions and authentic flavors. I recommend trying the baba ghanoush—it’s a favorite of mine! Overall a very satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem hidden in New Brunswick! I had lunch here last week and I was seriously impressed. The pita bread being made right in front of you sets the tone for an authentic meal. I had a lovely chicken kebab that was juicy and well-seasoned. The service was friendly, and my overall experience was delightful. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sahara is where I often take friends from out of town, and this time was no exception. The food continues to impress with its authenticity. The fresh baked pita steals the show as soon as it arrives at the table, warm and fluffy. We tried everything from the dolmas to the mixed grill and desserts, all of which were wonderful. No one left hungry! Although sometimes it can get busy and noisy, the lively atmosphere makes it feel even more authentic. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Sahara and finally decided to check it out. The experience was wonderful! The pita bread being made fresh in the oven was an awesome touch. After tasting the lamb shank and the vegetable platter, I instantly became a fan. I can’t wait to try more of their menu next time I visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sahara is a beautiful spot with a wonderful menu. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, particularly their seafood options. Staff were attentive and made my dining experience very enjoyable. This is the ideal place for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean food. I can’t recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sahara restaurant blew me away last weekend! I tried multiple appetizers including their famous hummus and baba ganoush, both of which had layers of flavor that transported me back to my time in the Middle East. The ambiance was perfect for a family dinner, warm and inviting. The chicken kebabs were also incredibly juicy. Definitely a must-visit if you’re near New Brunswick! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! Sahara was an exceptional experience. The food was out of this world. The mix of spices in their dishes is just right, and I especially enjoyed the stuffed grape leaves. The service was friendly and accommodating, ensuring we were well taken care of. We’ll be making this a regular spot for our family dinners! " (*Curated Review*)
