Sahara Cafe - Gretna

I had the last lamb, which was available and young I feel happy, the flesh fell directly from the bone, was so tender and tasty. all in the sawara is top notch, I enjoyed the appetizer sampler, the falafel is delicious and would have been my best choice if it wasn't for the lamb shank. if you never had lamb shank and you are a meat lover, drive to seeara, they didn't make it every day so you can be sure when your heart is set on it. I'd go there no matter you're not gonna be disappointed.

This is one of my absolutely favorite middle-east spots in the city. eating is always on the spot! I'll go every time to the grape leaves and the gyro plate. I love the hummus and the dipping sauces that come with every dish. I am also a great fan of the Lebanese tees, sweet enough, but not too sweet with rose undertones. I ate for two days from this teller.

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.

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).
