Sahara - Brooklyn

I've been going here for decades can't believe that I haven't reviewed them yet. Well, for me to go for that long, they've got to be good....real good. That they are. I've watched this place grow from a tiny store into the huge business that it is today. They used to be great, but have gone down a bit in the past few years for some reason. They're still amazing, though. The food is delicious very reasonably priced, and there's some good atmosphere there. There's metered parking, as well as valet, and they also offer take-out. I still highly recommend this restaurant. Even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, I still keep them in mind make the occasional trip there.

Food is excellent. Vegetarians and carnivores alike have great menu choices. (Currently, in late 10/18, awaiting alcohol license. Atmosphere is community oriented with many couple groups and some children/grandchildren in early evening. When dining area is full, entrees can take a good while.

It was a good day here today. Sometimes the people can be quite testy. Only reason why I came was my buddy insisted since it had been a while for him. Our waitress 'Naglez ' was so sweet and helpful. She picked my entree and always came back with an awesome smile. I literally gave an additional 1/2 star because of her. There were not many people there since it was 3pm. The place is huge including a garden for summertime dining. It has several rooms to add whenever the place gets crowded the other rooms open up. My friend since he wanted to be here is a vegan. He ordered Tahiti and falafel. The think was creamy as butter and went well with the huge amount of bread they placed in the table. The bread was warm and ready. The falafel with crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and you can taste the freshness. The salad has much vinegar..it wasn 't bad for me but I can see how someone else may have a problem. Naglez ordered the sea bass for me after a brief conversation and it was well prepared. The extra acidity (again I like that) was good. My son even liked it when I brought it home. We made sure Naglez got a nice tip for making us feel welcome. The price is right here and deserving of more visits.

Love this place been coming here for years. Best Hummus I have ever had. The Sahara bread is great. I love dining in here the service is great and the restaurant is very clean. I definitely suggest the lamb . I wind up ordering take out most times and it never disappoints.

The lentil soup here is life-changing. It's a classic old-school Turkish delight from Brooklyn. I've been a fan of this place for a long time.
