No way this 4 star plus food. I guarantee the food is not fresh... it is mostly reheated. It does not taste fresh. The fries are weird ... like you would get at a Rallys. I felt sick after eating there. Very nice staff though. A lot of potential here... but I think they are trying to stream line cooking and it shows.

My favorite place for to go food for quite awhile. I’ve tried many plates. Most often, the combination plate with great beef Kabobs and chicken. The yellow rice is awesome. Have taken to the beet salad after many orders of the mid eastern salad. Fast service and my pickup orders have never been wrong.

Wow! I bookmarked this eatery from the activity log on Yelp and, I'm so glad I did! The food at the Sahara was fantastic and so were each and every employee. We had the chicken kabob with saffron rice, Greek salad, cheese flat bread, beef middle eastern 'egg rolls', and, potato curry soup. Wow! all the dishes were delicious and we walked out of there carrying our stomachs! We definitely will be regulars!

I highly recommend the beef shawarma plate! Very glad that this place has opened their doordash reach to our part of the neighborhood. It's a bit pricey but the portions are generous. Compared to other Middle Eastern places in San Diego, their food is not underwhelmingly dry. I would definitely order from here again.

Questions & Answers

The guy that work in the morning makes the best flatbread. And they have a very friendly cashier during the night time I believe his name was David. 👍
