We came in the evening and very thankful for this as we had the sweetest, most helpful server. New to town, it is unnerving trying new places. This young lady did a heck of a job filling in any spaces that may have made our experience go the wrong way. Wish i knew her name- she is slender with dark hair if this helps. Anyhow- best falafel Eva and my hubby had the juiciest lamb kebab. Thanks for making our Exp 100%!

You can never go wrong with Sahara. The food is always delicious, the service is wonderful. It might take a little extra time to get your food, but it is absolutely worth it.

It wouldn’t take much to get this place to 5 stars. The food is the definite winner here. The staff need some work on customer experience, taking orders, answering questions, and general helpfulness. But man, the food was great. I had the gyro platter and my wife had the chicken platter. Would definitely come back and hope the service is better.

This place was just okay. I had higher hopes, but everything was really just mediocre at best. And the service could have been better. The lady that waited on us was nice and friendly, but we asked for extra napkins, she never brought them. We ordered items we didn’t get, but they ended up not being on the receipt so that was okay I guess. I would understand if they were busy, but we were one of maybe six total tables of people. We walked in and nobody was there. No sign to tell you to be seated. We were confused when we first came in if we sat ourselves or what. A couple behind us had the same problem. Another couple that arrived after us somehow ended up not only ordering, but getting their appetizers before our chick even returned with our water and took our order. It was kind of expensive for the quality of food and service. We love this kind of food, but we’ll try some place else next time.

It was good! I’ve been wanting to go for awhile now. The chicken shawarma did not disappoint. Nice environment.

Delicious Mediterranean food although more of an Americanized rather than purely authentic version. I loved my fresh falafel and Lebanese fries and the hummus and bread was good too.

I enjoyed it. It was tasty, but I wish there was more on the plate, especially for the price. But the flavor was there and you can tell they made everything fresh. Just the portions could be better. I had the veggie platter.

My love and I went to Sahara Cafe from the feed back of a worker from New leaf Market in the same plaza in Tallahassee Florida! We are always looking to try something new. We was told they would serve some awesome greek food which includes many fresh greek meals. Well the young lady customer service was very refreshing. She was very patient and informative when it came to food menu. My love eat meat and I’m vegan!My love ordered a lentil soup and bread. The lentil soup was kind of cold and almost the consistency of baby food , not good at all.I order the grape leaf filled with rice, a greek salad that only contain 2 , 2 slices of tomato, couple ring of red onion. Everything was cold , not season . I never had greek food before but our experience tells me I didn’t want to give greek food a second chance at all. They had a signature black tea that we where told was fresh brew from tea . We was informed that it comes in a package and brew from prepackaged tea bags that are shipped into the restaurant. Because of the not so good experience, my love to me surprised me with a greek restaurant in valdosta ga! The food at Giulios Greek and Italian restaurants. Their food is authentic greek, customer service is vreat,great, seasoned and hot . My love order some lentil soup and it wasn’t the consistency of baby food.

First off if you go on a Saturday They Do Not open until 1pm. I bring this up because Google states they open at 11am. This is incorrect. On the week days they do. But not on Saturdays. This is a counter restaurant where you order at the counter and then they bring you your food. You get a lot to eat. You shouldn’t walk away hungry if you eat here. The food is alright. I’ve eaten better, but it is far from terrible. It’s middle of the road. The thing that stands out is the service. Customer service was excellent. I read reviews where the service was poor, but this was not my experience. I wish you didn’t tip when you ordered. I left over 20 percent tip, but if i was able to tip after the meal was over, it would have been even more.

Pop in for a pistachio baklava. This is a limited review from a short snack stop. The iced tea was a tasty, herbal 4. Sweet, but not overly so. The decor was eclectic to the max, but there was some sort of ambiance. I’ll ring that in at a 4. The pistachio baklava though! Wowzers! A straight up 5!!!
