Absolutely amazing! We loved Sahara so much that we came back twice during our 6-day trip to LA.
The food is incredibly fresh, delicious and truly homemade. The grilled meats were amazing, especially the kebab, honestly one of the best BBQ meals I’ve had.
The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. They recommended the mixed platter instead of ordering too much food, and it was the perfect choice. They even gave us baklava as a little gift when we left. ❤...read full review

Sahara Restaurant is a beloved eatery in Pasadena, serving authentic and delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu offers a range of options, including chicken kabobs, chicken kebab, and pilaf rice with hummus, all made with love and care by the kind and dedicated cooks. The restaurant's family-style dining area is cozy, and their take-out options are also popular. Standout dishes include the tzatziki sauce, hummus, tabbouleh, and baba ghanoush. Sahara Restaurant is a hidden gem that has earned a loyal following for its mouthwatering food and warm hospitality.
The food is delicious, consistent, and always satisfying. The portion sizes and flavor cannot be beat. The shawarma plate includes a hearty serving of meat, saffron rice, onion, hummus, tabbouleh, and pita bread. The atmosphere gives a very casual semi fast food vibe, but the food is quality. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, treating everyone like family. The skewers are cooked over charcoal, giving them a nice smoky flavor, and the meats are juicy and tender. The rice is buttery and perfect.
