Reviews for Sahara Restaurant in Pasadena, CA

Oh my gosh. I almost don?t want to post a review, because I feel that when restaurants Get too popular they tend to change their... operating basis to meet demand! Lol. This food is so simple, fresh and delicious, just amazingly fresh. Every item was carefullyand well prepared. The charcoal grilling comes through so we?ll, I love that charcoal taste and it makes all the difference. Thevegetables where sweet and fresh, amazing feta cheese. The kabobs were tender and full of flavor, the rice buttery and amazing. Read more

Sahara is really good home-style Armenian/Middle-Eastern restaurant. It's not a super fancy place, but it's a clean and... comfortable place to have lunch or dinner with your friends and family. The meat is tender, the rice is well-cooked, the saladsare super fresh and the lentil soup is homey and warm. The price is also pretty good! Try it when you're around! Read more

A small restaurant that serves Mediterranean fare. The place is kept very clean and the waiters were super friendly. The menu... selection had all the standard kabobs, hummus and falafels plus more. Service was quick. One complaint though is the Pita breadthat was served was cold unlike other places where you get served warm pita bread. May visit again. Read more

Friendly, good food, plenty of seating, fast service. However, a little bit expensive at $17 for my plate. It includes 2 beef... skewers, rice, tabouli, hummus and pita with good amount of each. So actually, maybe it IS worth it for $17. Factor in $2-3 tiptho because of their good table service. Making the total $20. Read more

Delicious. Reasonable pricing for an amazing combo filled with flavor. Generous portions without going over the top The... service is well with the trip alone. The location is clean, open and they have an A/C that works well. Gave this place a try. We are used to driving to Zankou, but they have become too commercial and their customer service has taken a huge hit. We evenordered a combo to take to our daughter's house on our way home. We are tough critics and this place rocks. Thank you! Verytasty. We can't wait to return. Read more

This restaurant is fantastic. We ordered a few chicken skewer plates and the portion sizes were generous. The chicken was very... juicy and well seasoned. One of ladies convinced me to try a Lebanese beer instead of a Heineken and I was pleasantly surprised.All of the staff here was extremely kind, I would definitely recommend it and will return!

First thing when we walked in was the delicious aroma of meats cooking. It made my mouth water. The restaurant is clean and the... staff very friendly. I got the khash-khash kabob, my partner got the Lula kabob. The staff were amazingly friendly andwelcoming. We were just lucky to find the place when we got off the freeway looking for food. Now we will be stopping whenwe're passing through Pasadena. Read more
