I honestly regret spending money here this time.
I’ve been here before and had decent food, which is why this experience was so shocking. I ordered the beef cream chop and it was one of the worst restaurant dishes I’ve had in years. It was extremely greasy and tasted like it was fried in old, reused oil. The meat didn’t taste fresh at all more like something that had been frozen, refried, or sitting for a long time.
I tried a few bites from different pieces just to be fair, but every single one tasted bad. About 10 minutes later, my stomach started hurting, which made me seriously question the food quality and kitchen standards.
What made this worse was the service. When I told the server, he basically said since the food was already served, there was nothing he could do. No effort to fix it, no replacement, no apology. I still ended up paying about $31 for food I couldn’t even eat, just because I didn’t want to argue.
Places like this need to understand customers are not paying to gamble on whether the food is safe or fresh. Based on this experience, I honestly can’t recommend ordering anything outside of the few “safe” menu items, and even then I’d think twice.
Very disappointing experience overall.

We use to love coming here. Still love the servers there, but definitely finding new place after last order!!
Last couple times we ate in the restaurant the food quality declined! Last pick up order was large Greek salad with Grilled chicken, we got 1/3 of the chicken breast, they cut it diagonally to create more pieces, yet they put one thin slice on large $23 salad!!! They used to put two thin slices now it’s only one thin slice with 80% lettuce!!!
You can do better Sahara!

Took one bite, then straight to garbage!
If I wasn’t hungry I wouldn’t have stayed.
Had to eat only rise (which was not even cooked right) and Bamia just to fill my hunger.
Their smoothie and Lentil soup was excellent
But the beef Tika was horrible!
And for $38 USD I would expect to eat quality dish. Not this garbage!

I eat here quite often. It’s always good and fresh and the quality of the meat is very good. I have tried other restaurants and the saying is correct you get what you pay for. Not sure how people dont tast the difference at these cheap restaurants. So far so good!!!

The food was delicious and the platers are really generous. The service was over the top. Our servers was a Greek lady, I’m sorry for not remembering her name, however, she delivered a level of service to be expected in a fine dining experience. The cherry on top were the prices, super affordable

We love coming to Sahara Restaurant! Service is phenomenal! Jaklin is the best! She’s always on point and never misses a beat. Anthony is another great waiter. The staff makes us feel at home and is quick to take our order and bring out our food, which is always hot and fresh.
My friends and I love the fresh baked bread and turshi. The food is consistently delicious. Some of our favorites include Chicken Tikka, Chicken Cream Chop and Beef Kafta Kabob and Beef Gus/Shawarma.
The soups and salads are a must with every meal! Their signature Sahara Ranch dressing is really good. Love their Greek Salads or Fatoush Salad with Beef Shawarma.
They stay open late which we really like and my friends and I honestly come here 1-3 times per week.
Can’t say anything bad about this place, if you haven’t been there, we highly recommend trying them out.

Excellent place to get dinner. The best things here are the beef tikka (the filet), the bread they give you with the meal, and the beef shawrma. All their meat is very moist, tender and taste excellently! The lamb chops are okay so just stick with the meat.

Always my go to favorite. The place is always so clean. The service is always on point. The owner is the most generous, humble person in the world and deserves everything. Everybody is so friendly and so attentive the food is always delicious. There’s not a better Mediterranean restaurant in Michigan then the Sahara on 16 mile my favorite just celebrated My Daughter‘s birthday here everything was amazing. They went above and beyond to accommodate seating and everything I would give them 10 stars, but it only allows me to give them five

Sahara Restaurant is definitely worth a visit! The food was really good, though not quite mind-blowing. I tried the trio platter (chicken chop, steak chop, and potato chop), and while everything was tasty, the potato chop was the clear standout–soooo good. They also kick things off with a complimentary basket of bread and pickled veggies, which was a nice touch.
The restaurant is gorgeous, there’s a full bar, and they even have a banquet hall for when you need to throw a big party.
But let’s talk pricing because… yikes. A 5 oz pour of Apothic Red for $12? That’s more than the cost of the whole bottle at the store. And the entrées? Expect to drop $28 for a dish of protein and rice. Delicious, yes. Wallet-friendly, not so much.
Overall, Sahara delivers on taste and atmosphere, but the prices might have you side-eyeing your bill.

The food was average. The humus was really good. The food was Iraquie. Not Lebanese. Different food. There are not a lot of flavors to their food. Service was top notch, tho, and so was the atmosphere
This desert was not good at all. They served it cold. Texture was like jello
