What a cool place. Real, amazing food and large portions. The staff was nice, it’s cool to support local family business, especially unique, hidden gems, like Sahara.
Pic: Mediterranean Meatball Platter w/ Greek Salad & Rice.
My husband and I came here right before they closed. He had a gyro with French fries that I didn’t get a photo of. It was good and was a fair price. I got a beef kafta with a Greek salad. I loved the Greek salad. It felt fresh. The meals were both good but average. I think it was worth the price pai
The caffe service was quick & friendly at the front desk.
I had a Gyro platter with fries & Baba Ganouj. The food was served quickly & fresh.
Overall, great experience, flavorful with several options for the customers.
This place is so good! Good food and fresh made, friendly service. Very affordable!
Also loved the ability to buy some fresh prepared items like hummus, olives, feta,labne etc
One of my favorite restaurants in Sarasota. Food is always fresh and authentic. Their Tzatziki Sauce is my favorite and they have a small offering of items available to purchase in their market which are great.
Love us some Sahara Cafe. This is THE SPOT; you will not be disappointed.
A great little market too, with like 6 types of Za'atar.
Highly recommended
Definitely the best Middle Eastern food in SRQ! Authentic Lebanese, the Hummus is from other planet, Kibbe is crunchy from the outside and smooth from the inside. Tabboule and Babaghannouj are my favorites, even you can feel
Eggplant pieces in the babaganouj means no mixer use!
What can i say? I am
When we're in Sarasota, FL, this is the place we visit. The food is always fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is quaint, and the selection of goods on the shelves is superb. I typically grab a few items on the way out of the door. Get gyro meat or chicken on the platter. You'll get a lovely salad,
100% Spot on Mediterranean food! The falafel is the best I have ever had. The meat ball are a flavor bomb. Get in here if you haven't already!
Nice clean shop and good food. Only chicken and lamb halal
Love their falafel, I probably get it once a week with humus. They have amazing babaganush. The euro is good, it’s like 8 or 9 bucks with fries, it’s a good value.
Delicious!!!!! I am so happy I decided to stop in for lunch and check it out.
The falafel is airy, light and perfectly crispy. All the textures. Add the tabouli for more yummy green in diet. It’s the perfect sandwich. I need one right now!
