First tip off that this was going to be some great food was the line out the door, and not a single person complaining about it. Been hearing about this place since I moved here, and it did not disappoint. The food was packed with fresh flavors balanced well, and the proteins were cooked perfectly. The interior was clean had plenty of space to sit, groups large or small, but was also packed. Great casual spot. If you choose to get takeout, it was packaged well too. The service was extremely friendly, and very prompt, especially when considering the rush. Pricing was very fair, especially when you get the lunch special, and portions were generous. Would definitely recommend and will be returning

10/21/24 & 11/4/24 My husband and I got to go orders of the same dishes both times. Sahara is hands-down the best Mediterranean spot around! I ordered the lamb and beef shawarma, while my husband went with the chicken shawarma. Portions are super generous--enough for leftovers! The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, with a lively, bustling atmosphere that adds to the experience. I could honestly eat here every day. Don't miss out on their incredible garlic sauce--it's a must-try! It's the best garlic sauce out there.

Sahara's back (from vacay), and I'm there. I ordered the lamb lunch special ($12.99) since I haven't had it for some time.(Eating my way though the menu.) They gave me the combo lamb and chicken plate by mistake. I let it go. I've never had the chicken so it was a chance to taste it. I'll have it tomorrow. Two things I always complain about --- The salad had a few tiny crumbs of feta. In Greece they give you big chunks or a slab of it. Wish they were more generous with the garlic sauce. Com'on now. Barely enough. Still, I love Sahara and will continue to go. 87
