Food was AMAZING. So fresh and the meat was cooked and spiced so well and served hot. I got the combination platter which had a great selection. Highly recommend this place and would visit again.

Sahara Café absolutely blew me away! Everything from the food to the service was spot on. I ordered the halloumi, fresh tzatziki, and beef kabob, and each bite was bursting with flavor. The pita bread came out warm and soft, and that garlic sauce—oh my goodness—was addictive.

The service made the experience even better. Bashir took amazing care of me, and my food came out in seven minutes flat. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does.

To top it all off, the mint tea was absolutely incredible—fresh, fragrant, and the perfect way to end the meal.

If you’re craving authentic Mediterranean food made with love and served with heart, Sahara Café is the place to go. I’m already planning my next visit!

I did the Too good to go special and I was very disappointed in the serving! It was hummus and salad! For $13 when I could have gotten a whole plate!

Never Going Back
The service is a joke. My friend didn’t order anything but was still counted for the tip. Dirty plates, rude staff, and the food wasn’t even good. Save yourself the trouble.

Absolutely Disappointed — Dishonest and Rude Management

I rarely write reviews, but this experience was beyond unacceptable. From the owner down to the managers, the attitude here is shockingly rude and completely lacking in basic customer service. If you bring friends who happen to be sitting at the table but don’t place an order, they’ll still be counted toward the bill and included in the 20% automatic tip. That’s right — you’re forced to tip for people who didn’t even eat!

The food? Below average. The service? Dismal. To top it off, the utensils — plates, forks, knives — were visibly dirty, making the whole dining experience feel unhygienic and careless.

If you value your hard-earned money and basic human respect, I strongly urge you to dine elsewhere. This is not a place for families or anyone expecting decent treatment. Shameful and unprofessional — a total waste of time and money.
