"Sahara Grill has something special. The food is unreal... beef shawarma, arayes sushi, and zaatar on pita are next level. I've tried Middle Eastern food from everywhere and found NOTHING like the quality they provide at Sahara. The people there treat you like family, and you feel it the moment you walk in. More than just great food, it's the kind of spot that's only going to keep growing."
