The food was very good. I got the half and half chicken and beef shawarma and really enjoyed it. I feel the portion size was acceptable for the price although mine was biased towards the chicken but I was overall quite pleased with my supper. The humus was also great too if you're a fan of it.

Amazing food. Authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. From the refreshing Lebanese tea and mint tea to the Hummus and Babaganoush and kibbie, everything was perfect. Server was super busy and yet service was flawless. I can't wait to be back!

You can bring your own beer/wine and there's no corkage fee (as of Feb. 2022). They do have wine glasses also. Great food & staff- not overly friendly, not too intrusive, just right. Lamb chops are some of the best around. Get the sampler for appetizer so you can try most of them at the same time. Beautiful med-rare on the lamb chops, see pic.

Today was my first time coming here and it was fantastic! I asked the gentleman at the counter what he recommended since it my first time and he recommended that I order the half & half. He also recommended dining in, which I am glad that I did. The server was very friendly, the food was delicious, the portions were large, and the Lebanese tea was refreshing. I wanted to try out a dessert but I was incredibly full by the end of the meal. I'll be recommending this place to family and friends!

Ordered Chicken Kabab plate and Gryo plate through Waitr. Got 2 Gryo plates. After deliver fees and tip, we definitely lost out on the refund from the Waitr app. Get your orders right Sahara!

Passed by here a few times during the pandemic. Finally pulled in and stopped for some quick take out.
I don't have huge knowledge of middle eastern food, so I started with basics. I ordered an appetizer of humus, and a gyro. It was a sort wait before my food was ready.
THE FOOD: The humus was the best I've had for a few years. Light, flavorful and a bright, though subtle flavor. 2 pitas included were plenty.
Being from Chicago, I'm used to a gyro being kind of squat, and overstuffed with meat sliced off of a revolving hunk of meat on a spit. The gyro here is long and tightly rolled. Not a ton of meat inside, but it has tremendous flavor also. Really tasty.
The prices here are decent and I can see I will be trying other items here in the future.
Plenty of parking, and friendly service.
The only negative was the olive oil on top of the humus spills out of the container if not held even. Not knowing this, the outside of everything in the bag was oil. No big deal. Maybe a word of caution when carrying out (I didn't even think of it).

Your usual no frills Lebanese restaurant. I came here because I was told that it was some of the better food in the area. I wasn’t wowed but the food was good and to the point.
I had the steak shish kabob and my steak came cooked well done. People still eat well done steak?

One of the best places around for Mediterranean Cusine. Great & friendly service. Good sized portions, could not have asked for a better experience. Will be on goto list from now on.
