Middle Eastern Restaurants near North Brunswick, NJ

“First off, I was met with by a staff member in a cowboy hat (LOVE!) The booth was so soft and comfy and the table stands are ornate. I had the short rib and the meat was fall off the bone delicious! It was so tender and the sides were so plentiful and delicious. Each side had something a little different to pair well with the meat; sweet, salty, savory! I also had the shik Karak which was a delicious tea and for dessert, I had a banana crepe drizzled in chocolate. They do have a flair with food and I will definitely be back here!“

“Excellent place and delicious food“

“The food here is great!! I got the chicken Shwarma with a Jerusalem plate with the parsley salad and chickpea mix along with Hummus. So so good! I've been meaning to give this place a shot but never had time. So glad I did. Will definitely be ordering again and again. Dining room isn't too fancy but don't be fooled the food is great(that's what counts anyway). Also the cashier (I assume he is a manager?) He was super helpful and patient. Definitely a big fan now.“

“Sahara Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a rich selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes, each one bursting with authentic flavor. The hummus is creamy and perfectly seasoned, the grilled meats are tender and juicy, and the freshly baked pita is next-level good.

What really sets Sahara apart is the attention to detail—not just in the food, but in the service as well. The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, Sahara delivers a dining experience that feels both personal and memorable. Highly recommended!“

“Best place ever Dalia and the Staff Thanks agin for Great Catering For our son Bar mitzvah“

“I think this place is the best choice for your meal 🫶“

“Went here for a cheaper food option after finding out I had to stay later at work than expected. ordered the combo plate which was falfel, rice, a pita, hummus, and baba ghanoush. The hummus was a little salty but aside from that the food was very good. The hummus was clearly fresh and home made with hints of lemon. Similarly, the baba ghanoush was pleasant with a nice smoke to it. For 11 dollars you cannot complain

Vegetarian options: A large section of the menu is plant based, focusing on falafel and Mediterranean spreads. It is also likely one would be able to sub out meat in dishes for falafel“

“We got the best fried fish, delicious naans & chicken seekh kababs and lazeez kheer catered yesterday! Thank you so much!“

“I just got food today at King of Gyro because I had a crave for a gyro and decided to go here. When I ordered my food was needed by a friendly worker and the chef did not disappoint. I got a gyro with fries+soda and it came out to around 13 bucks! The gyro was amazing and filled to the brim with chicken. The fries were crispy but needed a little more salt. Overall amazing food and I’ll be here in the upcoming future. The environment isn’t the the best but it is calm and cleanliness is good!“
