Warm & welcoming restaurant featuring Middle Eastern dishes from Greek salad to merguez couscous.

It’s not Lebanese food. It’s more N. African style of cooking. Portions are small. Service and atmosphere are good. Won’t go back since I don’t really enjoy the food. Everything seems to be alacarte. Tahini is Not a combination sauce for Shawarma or Shish tawook. You have to buy garlic sauce. Meh.

This place was absolutely fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared — you can really taste the quality in every bite. The servers were friendly, attentive, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for amazing Mediterranean cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely delicious! We went to Sahara and had an incredible meal. I ordered the lamb shank, which was perfectly cooked—tender and literally falling off the bone. The Greek salad was super fresh and crisp, a perfect complement to the main dish. The restaurant has recently been remodeled, and the space looks really lovely—clean, modern, and welcoming. Service was friendly and attentive, and prices were very reasonable for the quality. Definitely one of the best Middle Eastern/Mediterranean spots around. Highly recommend!

Why 4 stars? Because I haven’t tried everything on the menu so I can’t rate it a 5 just yet! We did try the hummus app, fatoush, chicken kabobs, and lamb schwarma, plus lemon tart for dessert. Everything was very tasty!! The hummus was creamy. The chicken kabobs were moist and the veg with it were all well grilled. The saffron rice had a hint of cinnamon which I’ve never had before. And the lamb was tender. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable plus our drinks never went dry. I can’t wait to go back and try some more!!

Loved this place! Went with my partner, who grew up in the area and had fond memories. She was pleased to find that they still had the daily lemonade flavors and still made the same delicious, quality food; and I quite enjoyed my first time there! It was quiet while we were there, the interior decor was beautiful, and the service was excellent.

Easily the best food of its kind around here. Falafels are so moist and crispy, definitely made with fresh ingredients. Also the place was just remodeled and looks amazing! We got the beef shawarma, side garlic, hummus, the works and I don’t think there was a single thing we didn’t like. Stop reading this review and just try it!

I came with my mother and my daughter and we enjoyed this restaurant so much! The tea service was exquisite and the lamb was tender and mildly flavored. We really enjoyed the rice as well. The servers were prompt and hospitable. We were made to feel welcome. I can’t think of anything I would have changed about our dinner experience!

I can’t believe I’m just now discovering this place! Every dish was packed with flavor—so fresh, so delicious, and the spices were absolutely perfect. I came here for an early birthday celebration, and Heidi went above and beyond to make it extra special. Her kindness and attention made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back. 10/10 recommend!
