Sahara Cuisine Market - Kenmore

This place is literally disgusting the clientele and owners alike. No sense of hygiene or sanitation. Completely irresponsible and negligent. No one was wearing their masks and that was the least of the issues. Wouldn't be surprised if half the COVID cases in Buffalo started here. The owners have no sense of how to run a business. Waited in line for 15 minutes as they conversed with the woman ahead of us who TOOK OFF HER MASK TO LICK HER FINGERS TO SEPARATE THE PLASTIC BAGS. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL. If that's what's happening in the grocery store, I don't want to know what the hell is happening in the restaurant.

After stepping foot in this sanitary nightmare, I feel like I need to bathe in hand sanitizer. I actually am shocked at the level of negligence demonstrated by this place. There were probably about 10 people in the store including the guy behind the register and approximately 0% of them were wearing masks/wearing them appropriately. We walked in here on a whim and we made a huge mistake. We waited in line for 15 minutes as the customers chatted up the cashier and the lady in front of us (who was definitely in a high risk group of contracting COVID) pulled her mask down to LICK HER FINGER to get a plastic bag to put her groceries in. She also just blatantly walked in front of as we were waiting on line and put her groceries on the counter and then proceeded to try to pay for them with a NYS Medicaid card. What on earth is happening right now.

Great authentic food. Plan on staying a while, all the food is made fresh, nothing is pre-made. The owner brought us tea, and Iranian bread, for free. He seems like a truly nice person. When you eat here, you are entering his home. We had Hummus, Baba Ghanosih, chicken shawarma Wrap and a Fallefel platter, all for $25! Wow. We have been here before and will be going back. The owner also owns Shawarma City on NFB.

It is a super market and restaurant joint operation. It got a lot of middle eastern snacks and beverages. Would recommend their wraps for a quick fix. It is kind off disorganized when you walk in but the people there are nice.

AMAZING Mediterranean food! Tried the lamb shank and the lamb kabab platters. Both were flavored so well! The fries are super crispy, rice and hummus were also very good. I was honestly surprised to find such authentic tasting Mediterranean food in Buffalo. And you can't beat the price! The grocery section also has a ton of variety and lots of snacks and drinks. Will definitely be back for both food and grocery!
