The food was delicious, fresh prepared and came out quickly. Authentic middle eastern cuisine. My kids loved it also. We got the pasha chicken. And kebab Kofta. The service was very good and the people who worked there were very nice and gave us useful info when we entered the restaurant. They had really nice photos on the walls. It was very comfy. It really felt like it transported you to Morocco. Overall it was a great restaurant and we enjoyed it. Food reviewed by mum. Service by 8 yo. Atmosphere by 10 yo.

If you're looking for an amazing gyro, Sahara on Main is the place to go. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the gyro is truly the best I've ever had. The pasta chicken is also an excellent choice - my son always gets a pizza when we visit, and he loves it. The endless bread is a great option if you're looking to share a meal. Be sure to ask the staff about their special treats - they love to please their customers! My best staff to name a few: Mustapha, Muhand, and Rebea.

My husband and I came in for the first time and ordered the kafta platter and the chicken shwarma platter. We also got a side of hummus and bread. We were severely disappointed with the portion size of the hummus compared to the price. But, the hummus and bread were the best parts of the meal. The chicken shwarma was lacking the distinct spices that make chicken shwarma. My "kafta" was a joke to be honest. It was just ground beef with no spices at all. It was like they took a hamburger patty and cut it in half and cooked it on the grill and put it over rice. The portion size for that was small as well. I've been all over the middle east and have been hosted in the us by various Arab families and I've never had kafta or shwarma this bland. The hummus and fresh bread were the saving grace.
