Ordered a beef shawarma sandwich on French roll to go. I Recieved a wrap instead. I didn't notice it until I got back to the shop. Further, it was really wet when I opened it leaking all over as I ate it. It was nothing special. Rather bland. The only thing giving any discernable taste was the pickle. Can't say anything about the place as I didn't eat there. They seemed busy though. I can't condemn it on one visit.

GREAT FOOD! Our son told us about this place. So we drove down an hour and a half just to try it. OMG we'll worth the drive. The food is so good and you get alot. I was kinda surprised about the price until I see what you get and the taste. You need to try it. You will not be disappointed. Trust me...

Sahara’s has the best Middle Eastern food! They are quick and friendly. We go there a few times each week! The half chicken plate, chicken bureg, salmon tika, and more are all delicious!

One of the workers is an old woman
She was so rude and loud interrupted me while i was trying to place my order
On the other hand i got seated waiting for my food
I ordered a combination plate with has grilled kabab and chicken tikka
It was served to me with in 3 minutes
I was surprised , how fast was that
Then the bad taste hit me
It was grilled already and they just heated it and served it
Not recommend
Just google middle eastern food and probably you will find better places

I'm beyond impressed by the taste and quality of the food here. Authentic home made Iraqi food at its absolute finest. The portions are really good and the spices are perfection. We tried their kubbat halab which is twice the regular size, tastes really good. Their bureg is also very very well made. Their meats are well done and juicy. Very highly recommended.

HAIR IN THE FOOD! Multiple times. Another reviewer below found some too. I love the food here and have been a customer for many years. However, I have found hair in my food multiple times now. and yesterday was the last straw for me. There was a long hair in my Sahara salad. My friend has had hair found in her food too. I would highly recommend they enforce hair nets and gloves when preparing food. I hope to enjoy more meals here if this is addressed!

There is ample parking in the shopping center's free parking lot. It's an order and pay first kind of spot. There are lots of tasty menu options so it's hard to narrow down lol. Today I got a bowl which is large enough for 2 people it comes with yellow rice, a choice of protein and a side of your choice. I picked the beet salad which has cheese, red onions, cheese and I think it's cranberries. I really like their potato stuffed with beef side dish so I ordered that too. The bowl comes with one of the yogurt sauces it can overpower the dish it is very creamy. I would recommend asking for it to go on the side. Which also helps reheat the dish if your take leftovers home. They also have free hot black tea in the back.

Vegetarian options: Many dishes falafel.

Parking: Free parking in the shopping center's parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids here all the time.
