Food was amazing except the server ruined it by automatically adding $40 tip to a $160 bill. It was only a party of six that were dining that New Year’s Eve. I felt cheated by being cornered to tip that much. Although Courteous, there was nothing memorable about the service we received from him.

Absolutely awesome! Love the Shawarma plates. I was in NOLA for two weeks recently and I think I ate at the Sahara Cafe 6 times. So good!

Nice staff but very no frills place. AC doesn't work very well unless that's part of the "authenticity" to make it as warm as Lebanon. Menu and food are very basic. The food isn't bad but it doesn't stand out from any other similar restaurants.

I have been eating here for years now and just realized that I hadn't done a review for the restaurant. Overall, the place is SOLID! The food is authentic, the feel is authentic, and the atmosphere is authentic. I've eaten at many Middle Eastern restaurants in the respective countries. This place duplicates those dishes very well! Shakur is a great host and server! Shukran, Saidi!!!

I don't even be knowing the names of the dishes but I order the 3 meat plate with rice on the side. Ask for green spicy sauce which ain't spicy but adds as a good garnish lol. Been here over 10 times in 4 months

Just ate here and got overcharged half and half plate was listed at $15.99 (chicken and gyro) the brother behind the counter charged me $16.99. I was a loyal customer but not coming to this restaurant again. My total should not have exceeded $37.00 it was over $40. I thought about confronting the brother behind the counter but didn’t think it would’ve made much difference. They don’t even give an itemized receipt. Leaving this review was a better approach in my opinion. I deducted the overcharged amount from the Tip (owner served us) to account for the extra charges. They would’ve made the same amount by being genuine. I would urge people to pay attention to their total amount and ask for an itemized receipts.

Stopped in to grab a bite. First time being here. Ordered an order of fries, falafel Appetizer and a veggie sandwich with a Lebanese tea. The tea was really good but they don't do refills on Lebanese tea. The fries were good. The falafel had a food flavor but the outside was fries a little to hard for my liking. Now the veggie sandwich was a huge disappointment. I asked what veggies came in it and was told cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, squash, carrots and grilled onions. With lettuce and tomato. We'll, it was NOT that. My entire sandwich was lettuce and onions. At the very end of the sandwich I had ONE zucchini. When I told the Waiter, he just said "I'll let the cook know, sorry about that!". I won't say I'm not going back but I will definitely check my food next time!!!! See pics!
