We planned 2 hours to enjoy dinner before a show at The Fox. We were there for a full HOUR before we got our drinks. Dinner was so so, they mixed up everyone’s soup.Shwarma unremarkable. Finally got dinner with 45 mins to eat, get bill, etc. Tip is included which we didn’t know. Party of 4. Never even were asked if we wanted a second round. Considering its great location, I’d love to see better service & food.

The atmosphere was good. The food was amazing even the veggies! The drinks are too expensive not reasonably priced that and playing a snipet of the birthday song was awful. While we understand the atmosphere Sahara should've understood the occasion and let the song play it was 1 song. Too much money spent to abruptly end and it's rude. I will return but for the food and atmosphere no drinks.

This is the second time we hosted a special occasion with a large group at Sahara Detroit and everything was perfect. The food was delicious and the service was excellent!
Vegetarian options: There are vegan options. The vegetable cream chop is so good. Plus hummus, falafel, tabouli, and eggplant salad.
