Love the chicken kobideh! Delicious. Like beyond phenomenal. The basmati rice is sooooooooo goooood! On a general note I don't like basmati rice (I usually find it to be bland) but the way they cook it at Sahara is exceptional and deliciously buttery. Service is always great👌

Great food! Great service! Great price! Very fresh food and I feel good after eating it. Walking out full but not bloated and sluggish!

Ate here for the first time today. Employees were very friendly and accommodating. By far the best kabob in Dallas. They have a great selection of dishes and the portions are large. I will be coming back with friends!

This is a wonderful family owned place! The owners and staff are so kind and welcoming. Everything is made fresh and taste delicious! My favorite is the chicken Kubideh kabob. Best Kabob in Dallas hands down! Definitely a must try if your in the area!

I have been coming to this restaurant from last two years. This restaurant truly captures the heart of Persian cuisine. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced—everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The kebabs were tender and juicy, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the portions were generous without feeling overwhelming. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great place for both family dinners and special occasions. The staff is friendly, attentive and offer recommendations, which made the experience even better.

We have been looking for a Mediterranean food close to home and this is the place! Everything was amazing and fresh! We will be going back! Not one thing we ate was bad! Family oriented, fresh from scratch food made, friendly, polite and attentive! The mint lemonade was spot on!

Walking up to this otherwise nondescript strip mall joint in the middle of the post apocalyptic suburban nightmare that is Dallas, Texas that something was different about this place. Was it the welcoming array of plants in front? Was it the welcoming and prompt proprietor? No. It was the perfectly brewed cup of Turkish coffee that materialized like a genie from a bottle onto my table! Ahh that fragrance, that thick mud, that instantaneous uplift into the comforting arms of consciousness! The gyro pita was as long as my arm. How do I eat this? Omg omg omg who care is this is amazing. I didn't even even tough the tzatziki! And that is very, very strange for me. The meat was marinated and cooked just oh so perfectly and the tomato and pickled peppers were in the exact right ratios of accoutrements to meat. A single tear...down my cheek. Ok this tzatziki cannot just be ignored. I used my chips as a scoop. Studded with perfectly minced cucumber bits, this condiment elevated me to a near spiritual place. Dallas, you may yet be the end of civilization, but you hide a gem of hope buried deep in your freeway infested bowels.

I've eaten here for over 20 years, always good even after ownership/management changes. Learned to cook Persian and Middle Eastern foods as a result of how impressive these traditional flavors are. Be sure to try the mint yogurt drink on a hot day.

We got the tea and gyro sandwiches. You’ve never had one of these sandwiches, let me tell you. One sandwich is the size of two from anywhere I’ve been. Packed with meet. Wow! Loved it. The tea is great too, strong and fragrant. Glad we tried this little gem!

I have tried many mediterran redaurants and this has to be the Best i have had. The rice and the chicen and beef kababs were sooooooo juicy and fresh. And You have to try there hummus and tezeki yogurt, oh it's amazing. I tell everyone about this place. The manager and or waitress treated US so kindly and super sweet. Made me feel like how My mom treats me. They also have a cool food mart with organic ingredientes that they use for there dishes that customers can buy as well. 10 Stas! The Best of the bessssst

The best food and service I had in long time. The quality of this Persian food is by far the best I ever had. The server was super nice and friendly. The appetizers me and my wife got were great and the kabobs are to die for. Highly recommend.

Authentic. Tasty. Attentive waitresses. Pricing was average. Loaded with obtains in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Also has a grocery section. All the food had great taste, plentiful, and cooked just right. Then they brought out a tray full of small free samples of their rice pudding. It was delicious, the best I have ever had. Friendly customer marketing.

I recently had dinner at this restaurant and was blown away by the quality of the food and service. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and made great recommendations for both food and wine. The dishes we ordered were all delicious - from the appetizers to the entrees, everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The atmosphere was also lovely, with a chic, modern decor and comfortable seating. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

The Sahara is a quite surprise. Service is great and the food was very good. Ordered the ground beef kabab and chicken kabab. The ground beef was excellent. The chicken was tender and juicy and grilled to perfection. Also the tea was something to have after the meal. All in all very good.

I liked the food and atmosphere. They bring you free dessert. They don't get tip but they have $8 service fee instead.

Sahara is a decent place to pick up some Mediterranean eats. With a solid selection on the menu I'm sure you could return a few times and find something you'd like. The service was polite but rather hands off and the food came out rather slow. Other than that no complaints.

The lamb kabob was extremely delicious, however, everything else was meh. The rice was bland with pieces that were hard and crunchy.

Ammar Altaweel

Absolutely terrible experience. The food was nothing like real Mediterranean cuisine — not even close. The lamb was undercooked, the chicken tasted old and poorly seasoned, and every dish felt like it was thrown together with zero care or flavor. Honestly, this is one of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been to. Total waste of time and money.

Hands down the worst “Mediterranean” food I’ve ever tasted — and I’ve eaten Mediterranean food my whole life. Nothing on that plate even came close to real Mediterranean flavors. The lamb was undercooked, the chicken was straight-up awful, and the tabbouleh… no olive oil, no lemon, just a sad bowl of green stuff. Honestly, the only thing worth consuming was the bottle of Coke — and that should tell you everything. This is by far the worst restaurant I’ve ever stepped into. Total disappointment from start to finish.

Food tasted horrible Employee is very disgusting & Unprofessional During my visit, I noticed an employee sneezing without stepping away or sanitizing afterward. It made me uncomfortable, especially in a food-service environment. I understand things happen, but I thought you'd want to know so it can be addressed. Cleanliness is important to customers, and I wanted to share this respectfully." | will not come again you lost me as a customer. I was a valuable customer I come twice a week food was good now you got employee that are new and food taste changed, restaurant not clean, Employees unprofessional You must train your Employees. • Customer Service ⭕️ • Restaurant not Clean ⭕️ • Employee unprofessional ⭕️
