I've been here several times, and while the food keeps me coming back, the wait times can be frustrating. Even when the restaurant isn't busy, I've had to wait around 40 minutes for my order on multiple occasions. Because of that, I'll probably stick to pickup orders going forward. That being said, the food is very good. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but the sandwiches are absolutely delicious and have been my favorite items so far. The staff is friendly and gets the job done efficiently. They may not always be the most cheerful, but they've always been professional and helpful whenever I've visited. One thing to keep in mind is that the dining area is quite small. It's fine for a quick meal, but it may not be the best option if you're planning to come with a large group since most of the seating is limited to small tables. A big plus is that they're open late, which is great when you're looking for a good meal after most other places have already closed. Overall, great food and convenient hours. If the wait times improve, this could easily become one of my regular spots. read more

Great food in a casual spot! I happened to be in the area after doing a stop by Whole Foods nearby and decided to try it out, and was pleasantly satisfied. I ordered the mixed grill plate which came with plenty of meats- they were not stingy with it one bit!! The kofta was ok, and the meat kabob could've used a tad more seasoning, but the chicken was phenomenal! If I were to come again I would focus on the shish tawouk (chicken kabob) and maybe try out the shawarma that was on the menu. Good stop in the area for Arabic food! read more

Classic mediterranean/gyro spot!! We had tried going to the Korean BBQ spot nearby but they wouldn't sit us so we had to find a last minute alternate and Sahara was right by! It's fast casual which is great and the staff was super nice to us. We got some greek fries to share and then I got a lamb wrap. The greek fries were delicious and had tons of toppings. Big hit for everyone at our table! The lamb wrap was good and flavorful and I loved the toasted tortilla. Overall a delicious meal and priced well! read more

Wow! Sahara has been in Redmond for at least several years now, and I can't believe I've just tried it for the first time. It is a gem! The restaurant is primarily a quick eats spot as most people opt for takeout, but there are also a few tables inside for dining in. Two of us each put in our order for the MIXED GRILL PLATE ($24.99) which includes chicken, lamb and a kofta (ground beef) kabab as the main items. It also came with salad, rice, pita, hummus and two cups of their sauces. Keep in mind that this dish will take some time to prepare since all the meats are grilled fresh. We could see straight into the kitchen where the cooks literally skewered the raw meats and kept rotating them over the grill. That said, your patience will certainly pay off! All of the meats were delicious and lean. The white meat chicken was still juicy and liberally seasoned with warm spices. I also enjoyed the kofta kabab which was flavored with parsley and onion, among other seasonings. The lamb was pretty tender as well and not too gamey. For added oomph, try each meat with both of the sauces. The thicker white sauce tasted like a combination of yogurt, garlic, various spices and had a little acidity... it was SO good! The tahini sauce had a nutty flavor, as expected, and was surprisingly slightly bitter. I didn't love this one as much, but that just comes down to personal preference. As for the sides, the hummus tasted so natural and fresh, pairing nicely with the toasted pita bread. The side salad was tossed in a light vinaigrette and included crisp greens, red onion, tomato and cucumber. This meal was super filling and I had a small serving leftover for lunch the next day. While the $25 cost is a bit steep for one plate, I considered it to be worth the value for the amount and quality of food I received. read more

There's not much to review about the vibe of the place, usually if you go for gyros you go for the food not the atmosphere. The food was delicious, their gyro plate and gyro sandwich was well seasoned. One bummer is that they don't have a pure lamb option, only mixed with beef. The Greek fries are wavy fries which I'm not a fan of, I like the OG Greek fries that are straight and crunchy with garlic (yum yum). But overall it was a good place and I'd go again, it wasn't my favorite but it's definitely better than some of the others out there. read more

4.5 Stars Casual Mediterranean spot located in a plaza. I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($12.99) - the portions were awesome (it could have basically been two wraps) and it was stuffed full of protein. It also had peppers and tomatoes and such in it. Super tasty. The white and hot sauces we asked for on the side were the cherry on top. Cons: my friend noted it was very greasy and wasn't a very "authentic" shawarma wrap (too minced). I loved it though. Order at the counter and sit down. read more

It was a bit challenging understanding the menu and it was a bit hard to communicate with the employees, however, the individual who was managing on Sunday evening was very pleasant and went out of her way to make our visit pleasant. The wait time was a little long, yet, this is my first visit. My beef and lamb gyro was very good. My wife had the chicken gyro and enjoyed hers. The humus and pita bread were very good. I must say that it is strange to hear latino music in a middle eastern restaurant. I get that the cooks are latino, I would have preferred to hear music consistent with the type of food that they serve. The restaurant is very plain and needs art on the walls to give a more cozy feel. I am giving 5 stars because the food was very good and the manager in charge did her best to make our visit a pleasure. I plan to visit in the future. read more

This place is incredible, highly recommend you go! The Baba Ganoush is garlicky, give it a good mix and spread it generously on the warm pita bread they give you. Really good portion size! The Lamb Shawarma Wrap is soo delicious, I couldn't stop smiling while eating it, in which the owner saw me. The size is big enough that I had leftover the next day, and yes, it made me smile again when I ate it. I love fast food Mediterranean places like this that are SO Delicious yet causal. read more

Was craving Mediterranean last night and wanted to switch it up (I frequent Garlic Crush!) so we came by Sahara. The space is very clean and has a fast food vibe, which is fine and expected. The food was made fresh in the open kitchen and in a good about of time, and the portions are huge! I have yet to find another place that gives so much bread alongside the rice in a gyro plate like this. The shawarma wrap was really greasy on the bottom, but most of it pooled at the bottom of the tray so it stayed out of the way. Tasty sauces and generous! Service was friendly and we had a great quick bite for dinner. Had enough leftovers to bring the next day for lunch! Will definitely be returning when I get another craving :) read more

I'd love to give this place 5 stars, it's our favorite fast Greek in the area. It is just a little more sparse on seating and decoration (water machine awkwardly center aisle, some holes in the wall). Still, the staff have always been nice and prompt and helpful and the food is good. I'm going 4 stars for the environment and wishing just a bit more from the falafel which is hot and flavorful but can be dry inside. That said, note how I have no pictures of my falafel on pita because I dug right in and was half way done before I remembered! The gyro fries are great with this buttery garlic sauce throughout that we don't see at other locations, and the fries nicely crisp under the sauce. Even the hummus is a step above in taste and presentation with a good portion, healthy olive oil topper, and nice spices. Sorry, I'm reserving my Greek five star for a place with the perfect falafel that is both crisp and hot but retains some of that inner moisture while staying crumbly. I know I'm asking a lot but I've had it before and it is so worth it! read more

My mum and dad picked up take out to celebrate my father's 73rd birthday from this wonderful spot. Amin and Hazam were so friendly and helped his celebration start on a wonderful note. We've struggled finding a good Mediterranean restaurant since relocating to Seattle from Chicago years ago (I loved Pita Inn there growing up). Sahara blew away my expectations--the food was delicious!! I love that the rice that they served with the dishes was Basmati rice. The lamb was tender and moist, so well seasoned and one of the stars of our meal. We've had dolmas from a nearby Kirkland spot but these were perfectly seasoned. My favorite was the chicken shawarma wrap which was so generous (can't believe how long it is) and moist inside with well seasoned chicken and love the vegetables as well and addition of olives. We are looking forward to many repeat visits here! So grateful this is close to home! read more

I highly recommend this spot if you are in the mood for Greek food!

Food was a hit for my picky mom and son. She had the lamb plate and my son had the kifta kebab…read moreplate. My husband had a lentil soup and said it was really good. It wasn't overly salty like at the other places we've gone to. The hummus was creamy and flavorful. The restaurant is a bit non-descriptive and they have a bit of seating, but the booths are super small. Their service was decent and because it's close I would definitely come back another time.

Unlike other restaurants that over-sweeten, over-salt, over-oil their food, they prepare it for those who want the food's actual flavor. You can freely your own salt if needed. We'll be back and recommending it to others. It's also a quite, pleasant location.

We tried this place for the first time, it's almost similar to Chipotle style and you can see all…read morethe ingredients. We ordered the beef and lamb shawarma wrap and the chicken shawarma wrap. As well as the baba ganoush. It comes on a cutting board with some sauces and pickles. The portion size is good, the lamb and beef was heavy on the lamb side and had a very strong lamb flavor which wasn't our thing. The chicken was not bad but the meat is a bit dry without the sauces. Baba ganoush was good and fresh, but unfortunately we found a hair in it towards the middle (maybe from the guys beard or mustache?). The service was nice and fast and it is basically a self serve type of sit down. The music was a tab bit too loud. Overall, if you want something quick this could be a good option.

Absolutely fantastic food! I stopped by not really knowing what to expect, but this place blew me…read moreaway. Every bite was packed with flavor -- rich, perfectly seasoned, and fresh. You can tell everything is made with care and attention to detail. I ordered a platter that came with tender meat, fresh salad, warm pita, and creamy sauces that tied everything together beautifully. The balance of flavors was spot on -- nothing too heavy, just pure, delicious Mediterranean comfort food.Even though there was a short wait, it was completely worth it once I took the first bite. The food came out hot and beautifully put together. You can really taste the quality and passion behind it. If you love bold flavors and generous portions, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Easily one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I'll definitely be coming back -- next time, I'm bringing friends so they can see what all the fuss is about!

We ordered the shared platter meals to share between 3 people and it was plenty of food for sure! We got the hummus, baba ghannouj, and cheese fatayer to start. While the bowls were very good, especially with the fresh bread, the cheese in the pies were absolutely delightful! 10/10 for those alone! All the meats in the platter were very good as well, and the rice in the center was very plentiful. Great food that I would gladly be back for again! And the cheese fatayer of course!

The meats are quite good.

The main knock against them came at the end of the meal when I asked for an order of falafel to take home. I checked in on the order about 10-15 minutes later and the guy said he would check on it. Another 10-15 minutes later I asked again (people are getting antsy to leave now), I was told that the order never got put in. Under normal circumstances I would have just cut bait at that point but I didn't think I would survive the wrath of my wife who only had been left at home with a grumpy breastfeeding newborn on the one condition that I bring her falafel. So now finally about 30-40 minutes after people had taken their last bite of food, my falafel arrived, for which I was charged full price plus 20% mandatory gratuity because I arrived with a group, regardless of the fact this was a takeout order.
