" We decided to celebrate a family gathering at Sahara, and it was a great choice! The dining experience was wonderful from start to finish. The menu offered a fantastic variety of Mediterranean dishes, and everyone found something they loved. The chicken tawook was juicy and flavorful, and the side salads were huge! I was particularly impressed by how the staff managed our large group efficiently and without errors. We left happy and full. I highly recommend Sahara for any special occasion or just a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night my wife and I tried Sahara, and we couldn't have been happier. The service was exemplary, as our waiter went above and beyond to make recommendations. I had the lamb shank special, which was tender and fell off the bone. The portions were huge, and we ended up with leftovers to enjoy later. I would definitely recommend Sahara for anyone looking for hearty Mediterranean fare in a friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to so many Mediterranean spots, and Sahara ranks among the best. Their kabobs are incredibly tender and marinated to perfection. I also appreciate how they serve dishes in generous sizes—you definitely get your money’s worth! The staff here is friendly and quick, though sometimes it can be a bit busy during peak hours. I recommend trying their house-made hummus; it’s creamy and has the right balance of garlic and lemon. Overall, a great dining experience every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sahara is hands down my new favorite spot for takeout! The baba ganoush is to die for—smoky and creamy with just the right kick of garlic. I've tried a few different dishes now—growing more adventurous with each visit—and have always been pleasantly surprised. Portions are so big that I often split my meal into two servings! The only downside was waiting during peak hours. However, it's always worth it when you get to enjoy their amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend Sahara for anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine! I was particularly impressed with the quality of the lamb meat in my sharwama! It was incredibly juicy, marinating deliciously with spices that definitely took me back to my travels across the Mediterranean. The service was attentive, and the restaurant was well-maintained and tidy. I would come back again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sahara for lunch yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The falafel was crispy and accompanied by a delightful tahini dip. A friend ordered the shish taouk, which was incredibly moist and flavorful—a true testament to their attention to quality. The only minor critique might be the muted atmosphere; however, the food makes it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sahara never fails to impress me with their food. It’s incredibly flavorful and feels homemade. The wrap sandwiches are delightful! I especially enjoyed the chicken shawarma sandwich, which was packed with flavor and sizable, too. The staff is polite and made our experience enjoyable. They really aim to please, and it shows. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
