Iranian Restaurants near Plano, TX

“First visit to this restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere were great!“

“I love this Mediterranean restaurant among the rest, but it’s quite expensive for rice and chicken bowls. Perhaps it’s because it’s an authentic place that serves authentic food, but the long wait times even when Iam there at the open.“

“My husband and I are on a mission this year — every month we’re trying foods we’ve never had before. May was all about Parisian and Mediterranean flavors, so we decided to check out a place called Sahara, and wow. Just wow.

First off, when you pull up, it’s in a shopping center with plenty of parking. There are beautiful green plants outside that make the entrance feel really welcoming. When you walk in, the vibe is calm and cozy — tables, booths, soft music, and just a relaxing atmosphere. We grabbed a booth and got started.

Since we’ve never had Mediterranean food before, we didn’t really know what to expect. But let me tell you — the flavors popped! We started with water (super cold and refreshing) and then came the dips: creamy hummus and this white dip that had yogurt and cucumber in it (I think it’s called lebni?). I had never heard of that in my life, but it was so good with the warm, fluffy pita bread.

Then came the meat — we tried a variety of kebabs, and every single one was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You could tell they marinate it with care. It wasn’t just food — it was a whole flavor experience. The staff even came by and explained how they prepare the meats, which we really appreciated.

And the rice! Okay, the rice was totally different than what we’re used to. It was long, fluffy, and cooked in a way that made it feel light but still full of flavor. Definitely not your average rice — and we loved it.

There were a few families there, everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals, and the energy in the place felt very “come as you are, stay as long as you want.” Even though it’s a small business, the food quality and service honestly felt like a high-end spot. It was our first Mediterranean meal, and it won’t be our last — especially not at Sahara.

If you’ve never tried this kind of food, don’t be scared. Your taste buds might just get the surprise of their lives. Ours sure did — and they’re already asking to go back.“
