Best tasting middle eastern food in Arizona. Service is challenged, makes you order in their way. (i.e. order drink first for all at the table, then order food)Hummus is excelent chicken feta is saviory, nothing else comes close.Order food to go, and have a picnic down at the tempe town lake.

I crave this food like no other. There is not a dish I have tasted there and did not love. Everyone I bring to the restaurant, which has been many, love the food and become addicted easily. The orange blossom lemonade tastes exactly like lemonade with the sweet smell of orange blossoms as an after taste. I can go on and on about their lentil soup and vegetarian marsala, and I am a meat eater. But, what is the greatest ever is the salad with the yogurt dressing. I have yet to find, in my long search, another place that has the wonderful perfect taste of their yogurt dressing. Sahara needs to be kissed for making such perfection.

The food is fantastic, they have amazing food for vegetarian/vegans as well as omnivores. Wonderful dessert, amazing coffee, the appetizers are fantastic and I have never met a person that didn't love their lentil soup. This is one of my favorite restaurants, and the service is great!

Try the Lamb Kuzi! My fav meal
by Jaffar H.
I love this place. I have been eating here for over 20 years since they were near ASU in Tempe. Best Labne and Lamb around. The lemonade with rose water also delish. Family owned and local.

This place is awesome. The staff is super, super friendly and makes you feel welcome and at home. Moreso than many other other restaurants in general. Visit, relax and stay for a while.
