Holy smokes, Sahara Grill in Miami just became my new obsession! We rolled in craving something special and left totally floored by their authentic Middle Eastern flavors. That beef shawarma? Absolute fireworks on a plate—juicy, charred just right, loaded with warm spices that hit every single note and left me sneaking extra bites straight from the platter.
The holiday special dinner at only $25 per person was such a steal, it felt like we won the dinner lottery. Every dish was exploding with bold, layered flavor—fresh, vibrant, and cooked with obvious heart. No boring bites here; it was like a flavor party in my mouth!
Big props to Derrick, the rockstar who took our order. Dude didn’t just ring us up—he straight-up guided us like a flavor whisperer with perfect recommendations that made the whole meal next-level. Warm, fun, and clearly loves what he does.
If you’re in Miami and want real-deal Middle Eastern food that actually delivers the goods (without the tourist-trap prices), run, don’t walk to Sahara Grill. We’re already counting down to round two.

The service was amazing and the food even better. We had the beef shawarma sandwich and the gyro. It went great along with their homemade sauces that were recommended to us. Their lemonade was 10/10 as well. Their employees are also very kind.

Everything we tried was incredible! The food was packed with flavor from start to finish. The shawarma was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and so satisfying. You MUST try the Arayes Sushi (2 skewers) — OMG… next-level amazing! Easily one of the best things on the menu.
The seasoning across all the dishes was spot on, and the hummus tasted truly homemade and fresh. To top it off, the staff recommended the Kenafeh for dessert, and it did not disappoint — the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal.
The service was just as impressive as the food. Robbie was the best! Super patient, incredibly helpful with recommendations, and had such a great attitude. His suggestions were spot on, and he really made the experience even better.
We’ll definitely be back — highly recommend this place! ️

Sahara Grill was excellent. The seasoning on everything was spot on, and all of their sauces were fantastic. We ordered the shawarma and chicken pitas, and they were especially great, and the falafel was freshly prepared and tasted great. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to soon.

Absolutely delightful service. Hard working team that wants you to be happy. I’m middle eastern so I know good taboleh, shawarma and kufta when I see it. Everything was delicious. We were so full, ended up taking dessert Knafa and Dubai chocolate to go for later tonight at home with a cup of tea. Give this family owned business a try. Highly recommended.

I’m a forever customer! The food was amazing and the customer service was impeccable. From everything I tried, I was obsessed with the simplest of the items – the kibbeh. Best kibbeh in all of Miami. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. ALSO, the freshly squeezed lemonade was so refreshing and not overly sweet. Highly recommend!!

What a wonderful find. This Mediterranean place is owned by people from Palestine, and you can truly feel the heart behind it. Everything is homemade and made from scratch—absolutely delicious. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming, and the moment you walk in, it feels like home. I left feeling genuinely happy to support their business. Highly recommended.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This Mediterranean restaurant was absolutely out of this world. From the very first bite, you could taste how fresh and high quality the ingredients were. The shawarma was hands down the best I ever had – perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. The hummus was creamy, rich, and absolutely addictive, and the falafel had that perfect crispy outside with a soft, flavorful inside. And the pitas were simply amazing!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, the Dubai chocolate dessert was simply incredible and the perfect way to end the amazing meal.
This place is a true gem. If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean food, look no further. Can’t wait to come back!
