    My experience at this restaurant was awesome. We receded under a minute. The dinner came out about maybe 20 minutes later with the appetizers after ordering, but it was well worth it. We got the Mezze platter. It had all eight apps in a small portion, so A scoop of every appetizer best way to sample the whole menu for the apps. Shaven Lamb with the sauce was great a entre.

    My friend and I went to Sahara's Turkish Cuisine yesterday and ordered the $22.95 luncheon. We loved the food and the atmosphere. I had dined here before but my friend had her first visit and she planned to be back for dinner with her boyfriend food here is always excellent and the help very attentive but gives you space to speak with your dinner companions.

    The food was mouth-wateringly tasty. Well presented. Only the tables were a little small.

    We stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. Sahara's had everything we look for - small, quiet, great service, and food that someone cared about in preparing it. The lamb dishes are excellent. The vegetable dishes are varied and creative with just the right spices. Highly recommended.

    I booked my reservation based on reviews as I was looking for a restaurant in a certain part of town. Apparently there was a LARGE party taking over almost the whole place with a few tables in the front for the general public. Everything was good until the birthday person with the large party started talking and took about a half hour. The restaurant isn’t large and the servers didn’t come to my table to check in to see if I wanted dessert which I did. There was also another table near me (not with the party) who wanted dessert. The server said the kitchen was closed and the person said that the waiter never showed up to ask and they wanted dessert. The waiter brought the dessert for that table. If there is a party that takes over 90% of your space, then don’t seat the public if you can’t service the tables properly. I prefer quaint neighborhood places over large restaurants and wouldn’t go back based on my experience.

    Go for the appetizers, both hot and cold! All are no miss; Zucchini pancake, hummus, tarama, baba served with wonderful hot bread. Wait staff is cordial, but forgetful. Good selection of Turkish beers and wines worth trying.
