Friendly, family-run Lebanese spot with charcoal-grilled kebabs and generous platters; great hospitality, reliable food, counter ordering, and moderate prices.

Why this grade

Sahara Restaurant delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality anchored by charcoal-grilled kebabs and exceptional service attentiveness that creates genuine warmth. Mostly reliable execution and generous portions support fair value, though modest ambiance and occasional seasoning inconsistencies prevent grade A territory. A beloved local institution with decades of loyal regulars, it excels at what it does—authentic Lebanese comfort food served with family-run hospitality.

One caveat: Parking is limited in the back lot during busy hours
