    Gyro plate with 2 sides and a sauce. Big enough for two!
    Mary C.

    If you are like me and want healthy food on the go try Sahara Cafe. Fast, friendly service and fresh food prepared when you order! Lunch specials if you show up before 3:00 p.m. Indoor and outdoor seating, clean environment lots of options. There are plenty of tables that are actually clean and a nice modern atmosphere. Easy menu on the wall with photos so you can place your order at the counter. We actually ordered one plate which comes with two sides and a sauce. The gyro/chicken, humus, pita and we paid a little extra for the Greek fries, it's worth $2.99. It was plenty of food for two! The proof is in the photos!

    Nuked packaged gyro!

    How this place is in business is crazy. The gyro meat I presliced microwave crap with zero flavor. They do NOT cook or make anything fresh here. Now I know why it was empty for lunch!

    Sahara is in a small strip mall on North Point. It took over the old House of Hummus spot. I've been here a few times, and the food is always great. I especially love the chicken shawarma and the falafel. The pita, Greek salad, and hummus are also worth checking out. The owners are super nice and will help you if you need guidance.

    Wow wow wow!!! I was in the mood for Mediterranean food and couldn't have picked a better place! Food was phenomenal and service was great. The owner Yusra was incredible with us explaining the menu and making sure we were happy with the quality of the food. Great to see an owner that cares so much! Will definitely come back. Five !

    Ran into a little gem while on errands in Alpharetta. This place had great Mediterranean fare. Everything was made fresh from the wonderful soup to the great gyro wraps. Will definitely hit this spot on the regular when in area.

    Two things I have never had at Sahara Cafe - a bad meal, or bad service. Coming from a Lebanese household, my family can be harsh critics of Mediterranean food. But this place has quickly become our favorite spot in town. The owners and staff are always quick to strike up a conversation and deliver some of the most flavorful and fresh food I've had in the area.

    Gluten free chicken shawarma wrap (yes this wrap is GF) with falafel sampler.

    One of the best shawarma places in alpharetta. This is where the old house of hummus was off of northpoint pkwy. They still do a ton of gluten free including pita. The falafel was outstanding. The salad dressing is unreal and very home made! The lady who owns it is so nice and kind and takes great care of everyone. The food is just awesome. Don't miss the braised lamb!

    As they make the food order. One at a time, as ordered.

    always freshly cooked food. Done onsite with outstanding prices and customer service.

It was topped with whipped feta that was super airy. Stuffed branzino: the fish was perfectly charred and deboned which made it very easy to eat. Chicken harissa: this was our group's favorite dish of the night. It was perfectly spiced and had a nice kick to it. Sabzi polo: basmati rice topped with fried scallions. This goes perfectly well with the chicken and Bronzino. Pistachio lava cake: this was a delightful to an amazing meal. The cake has molten white chocolate filling and topped with cardamom ice cream. It was perfectly sweetened and not too heavy. This was the top meal of this trip!

    Finally got the chance to try out Delbar!…read more We arrived early for our reservation, so we decided to sit at the bar while waiting. To hold us over, we ordered the hummus and Za'taar fries. The hummus came topped with fried chickpeas, which was such a nice addition-- I'd never had them prepared that way before, and the crunch added great texture. The fries had a nice cut and flavor, but they weren't as crispy as I'd hoped. I'd order the hummus again, though probably not the fries. Once we finished our appetizers, we were escorted to our table, which ended up being a pretty tight fit. We were seated at a two-person table between two larger groups of four, so it felt a bit cramped. Honestly, had we known the seating situation beforehand, we would've dined at the bar since it felt much more comfortable for dining and conversation. By that point, we were slightly full from the appetizers, so we decided to share just the Hanger Steak and the Polo Sefid. The steak smelled incredible and tasted just as good-- definitely a great choice! As for the rice, I may have gone in with high expectations after seeing so many pictures of it on social media, but for me, it was just decent. My boyfriend and I weren't huge fans of it since the grains kept getting stuck in our teeth. The service throughout the night was excellent. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. Our server, Lance, was attentive and helpful with recommendations, refills, and checking in on us. I also loved the aesthetic of the restaurant. From walking through the doors and sitting down, everything was pretty. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend checking out Delbar!

    I absolutely love Mashawi. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the metro Atlanta area…read more The first thing that stands out is how incredibly clean everything is. The restaurant is always spotless, and the ambiance is warm, inviting, and beautiful. The food is consistently amazing. My favorites are the baba ganoush, hummus, fresh pita, pickles, olives, pickled beets, cabbage, and lentil soup. I actually never liked baba ganoush until I tried it here, and now it's one of my favorite things on the menu. Their lentil soup is also one of the best I've had in the Atlanta area. I love the tabbouleh as well, and there are plenty of delicious vegan options to choose from. The all-you-can-eat concept is a huge bonus because there are so many fresh and flavorful dishes to enjoy. As a vegan, I always have plenty of options and leave feeling satisfied. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I eat here often sometimes multiple times a week and the quality never disappoints. If you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food, a beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible value, Mashawi is a must-visit. 10/10 recommend.

    So my friend and I came here for a late lunch and she ordered the lunch option for one. She came…read morefrom far so I wanted to give her some company and joined her. I had already ate since it was late but she had a long drive back and decided to stop by this place which is only 10 mins from me. The manager or owner came by to see what I wanted to eat and I told him I am only here to spend time with my friend and not eat since I already ate. He felt offended some way so I said "I will share with my friend" please tell me in what language does share with my friend mean I want TWO orders of the lunch option? You can only order lunch or dinner that has a preset menu. Which includes couple of meats, dips and pita. We received one individual bowl of each item that was listed out, one basket of pita, and one set of meats. We got the bill and there were two lunch orders, so we told the server mind you he had been coming to our table the whole time and then sends his server to take our bill. We informed the server that we only ordered one lunch and we were being overcharged, manager then comes and said it was two orders and walks away. This is the first time I've encountered anything like that so beware! It's sad that he could not honor what was explicitly told and did this to us, because the food was good and I really wanted to bring my family here but not after this deceit

What we ordered: Apps: * Fattoush salad - Fresh and full of flavor with crisp radishes, cucumbers, tomato, and a nice hit of sumac. * Dill labneh - Flavor-packed and delicious, though a bit thick, which made it harder to scoop with the soft pita. Mains: * Chicken barg - Phenomenal. Incredibly flavorful and easily the star of the meal. The house dressing on the side was addictive - I was literally scooping up extra rice just to dip into it. I substituted the rice for grilled veggies (up charge of +$7 felt extreme esp considering the entree was already $30) but the veggies were absolutely delicious. Squash, zucchini, peppers, onion, pineapple. * Honey harissa chicken - Disappointing. Lacked flavor, cook wasn't great, and didn't compare to similar dishes elsewhere (DelBar) * Adas pollo rice - Decent with a nice crunchy exterior, but overall just okay in both flavor and portion. Also doesn't compare to DelBar's. Service: We sat at the bar. Our bartender seemed newer and struggled a bit, but her teammate stepped in and really elevated the experience with great service and humor. Overall: Great vibes, strong bar, and some truly delicious food. A few misses, but the highlights make it easy to recommend.
