Warm, atmospheric Eritrean/Ethiopian spot delivering flavorful stews and injera with friendly but sometimes slow service and portions some find small for the price.
Sahara Restaurant delivers rich, well-executed Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine with excellent injera and aromatic stews that justify its strong local following. However, inconsistent execution on meat doneness and vegetarian dishes prevents a higher grade, while occasional service lapses and modest portions for the price limit its appeal beyond dedicated enthusiasts of the cuisine. The distinctive, atmospheric setting with traditional tables adds character but doesn't overcome these operational inconsistencies.
One caveat: Service can be slow when understaffed; plan for waits on peak nights
