" Just came from Sahara Restaurant, and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the food, especially the kofta kabob, was delicious and authentic. The portion sizes were generous and well worth the price. On the other hand, the service left a lot to be desired – our waitress was friendly but seemed overwhelmed and slow. I left feeling satisfied with my meal but not entirely thrilled about the service experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, my experience at Sahara didn't meet my expectations. While the decor was lovely and inviting, the food was only average. I ordered the chicken kebab but found it a bit bland and not as flavorful as I'd hoped. The service was friendly, but it took quite some time to get our orders taken and served. I might give it another chance eventually, but for now, I'm not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you haven't tried Sahara yet, you're missing out! The authenticity of their food truly stands out. I loved their stuffed grape leaves, which were perfectly spiced. We had pretty quick service even during a busy dinner hour, which was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is very cozy and family-friendly. I'm definitely coming back with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" My colleagues and I enjoyed a lunch outing at Sahara that was mixed. On the positive side, my chicken kebab was staring at me as it came out; it was vibrant and mouthwatering! The only challenge was that we had to wait quite a while for our drinks to arrive. Overall, I would say the food wins over the service at Sahara, so I would recommend it with a caveat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Sahara for my birthday dinner! The ambiance set the perfect mood, and the staff were incredibly attentive. We started with the lentil soup, which was hearty and flavorful, followed by the chicken adana kebab that was grilled to perfection. Portions were generous and I left feeling completely satisfied. The only thing I would suggest improving is the dessert menu - the baklava, while tasty, could use a refresher! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant; it's a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Sahara, and wow! The service was prompt, and the staff were attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. I ordered the mixed grill, and the lamb just melted in my mouth. The ambiance was lively, and the decorations gave it a warm vibe. The food was reasonably priced for the quantity provided. I’m definitely adding this restaurant to my list of favorites. " (*Curated Review*)

" I seldom write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at Sahara. The food was exemplary – fresh falafel, creamy tahini, and perfectly fluffy rice. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful, perfect for an evening with friends. The waiter was friendly, but we did wait a while for our orders to arrive. All in all, I was pleased, and I plan to return to savor those falafels again soon! " (*Curated Review*)
