    12/27/25 I've come here a few times and each time has been a great experience. Customer service is top tier, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I came here with my husband after a vet visit (all 4 paws- around the corner) we ordered the mixed grill so we could share our platter. Everything was made to order and came out pretty quickly. The ambiance is very causal and inviting. The food was absolutely fantastic, cooked to perfection, flavorful, and fulfilling. Anytime I'm in Georgetown around lunch/dinner time, I will be coming here every time, they're that good! Order various items, everything has always been so good, each and every time I've eaten here.

    I've only eaten here twice but I wish I could go everyday, I got different things both times and they were both delicious, I love trying new food from different cultures and the people working are so nice. 10/10 recommend

    Review for Yaffa Grill - Mediterranean Cuisine Rating: 5/5 - Amazing! We stopped by Yaffa Grill late at night and were thrilled to find it still open and welcoming. We ordered items 15 and 16 from the menu--the vegetarian kebab and the vegetarian platter--and every single bite was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, the dishes were clearly made with care. To top it off, I had hot tea with fresh mint, which was the perfect way to wind down the evening. The woman working was incredibly kind and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was clean and relaxed, and everything about the experience left us feeling nourished and very grateful. Highly recommend for anyone craving Mediterranean comfort food with heart. We are only passing through on a trip but if we are nearby again we will definitely be back!

    With Sahara closed for the Summer, I thought I'd try Yaffa Grill while in Georgetown. I ordered the Tawook Chicken Wrap. A good sized wrap stuffed with chicken, salad, pickles and garlic sauce. I added an order of Dolmades, six delicious rice stuffed grape leaves, with one difference to most, a drizzle of pomegranate. Nice. Check it out if you're nearby. 58

    Authentic Mediterranean food that is AWESOME SAUCE!! Service was great, too. Biggest disappointment is that I live 500 miles away.

    I WAS SO EXCITED to have Greek, Italian food here in GEORGETOWN!…read more But I'm sad to report it's nothing like any of the Mediterranean restaurants in Lexington. And it's definitely not like this in Italy or Greece! It was so NASTY I couldn't finish my food. Plus it was 18$ without a drink! The owner made my shawarma platter. She had a hard time figuring out what that was!?! I was confused on that because it's usually a staple at any Mediterranean restaurant. The chicken was maybe a table spoon full and tons of fat. The little bit of chicken was all held together with stringy fat. I've never seen chicken like this. And not to mention the VERY SMALL portions! The rice is Mexican rice. Definitely not the original rice you get. Changes the flavor. Not good!!!!! If you like Sahara, Nefertiti and Mr. kabob please don't come here!! The drive to Lexington to a local REAL Mediterranean restaurant IS WORTH IT!! You'll get 2 meals for the price of your one there and mouth watering flavored food!!!

    Read about this new place in Geoegetown, so decided to try it while nearby. Not so much bistro as…read moreit is deli. Ordered the Spinch Feta Pie. Comes with a small Greek salad. It was a big pie, and I would have been happy with one half the size. It was just OK. The inside was fluffy, but the outer ring was tough. Plastic utensils weren't working, so had to break it apart. The salad was eh. Overall disappointing. The cakes in the showcase looked tasty, so I got a slice of Pistachio Cake to go. Turns out the cake was the highlight. 99

Let me tell you, it's a recurrent (every 2 weeks) appointment, and I'm about to make my 3rd trip to Sahara this week. Wonderful price for the amount of food you get. The first time I went I was only able to eat about half of my portion. So much chicken! I got the chicken shawarma, and my hubby got the chicken leg lunch special. Wonderful seasoning, well cooked, great hummus, great Greek salad... the pita bread was meh, but I'll forgive it because everything else was great. The inside isn't a 5 star restaurant, but it's serviceable! Good amount of seating. The staff are friendly, open to questions, and very nice overall. They like to keep the line moving, so don't dilly dally. Ha! Overall, I can see why this was one of my friends favorite restaurants, and it's definitely added into my Lexington rotation.

I always double up on the garlic dip because it's seriously addictive, once you try it, you'll understand why! The food is always fresh and flavorful, and if you enjoy a bit of heat, definitely ask them to make it on a higher spice level. I usually get the lamb and beef shawarma at level 7, and it's absolutely perfect for me. The staff here are always so friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a cozy, homey vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. I also love the little store next door; they have some really unique items. If you're craving something sweet but want to avoid processed sugars, grab a pack of their dates. They're imported from Middle Eastern countries where they grow the best ones, and they taste so much better than anything you'd find at a regular grocery store. Sahara Mediterranean never disappoints. I'll definitely keep coming back, probably monthly, if not weekly!

Looking at the pictures on the menu I was wondering if o should order extra. I decided on a gyro platter and it was huge. I should back up. As I'm sitting waiting, they brought out a complimentary cup of lentil soup and it was delicious. Then the platter comes out it was an enormous portion. Also included hummus and cucumber yoghurt salad with a whole pita bread. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended.

    This was my second time coming, and I brought my husband this time. There was a little bit of…read moreconfusion on our part that lessened the experience for us a little. My husband is obsessed with gyros and that's his favorite thing - there was a Shawarma plate that said it had steak, chicken and Gyro and what we thought that meant was that it was Shawarma and then there was a Gyro sandwich on the plate, but that wasn't the case. It was just the gyro meat. So that made my husband sad because he'd been looking to a Gyro all day. No fault to them, totally our misunderstanding. The food was delicious and the price was great. There are a couple of things I would like to see updated. When you get the Shawarma plate, everything comes on one plate and that means your salad is mixing with your hummus is mixing with your Shawarma. I would like to see the salad in a side bowl. The plate is so stuffed. It's hard to begin eating because everything is stuffed on there so tightly. I would like the salad in a separate bowl not just to avoid mixing but to allow me a little more room on my plate to begin eating. We will be back and I will probably request my salad in a side bowl in the future. The lentil soup is great and it comes complementary with the meal. I would also like to be able to buy a bigger bowl of that if I chose. I would also like the option of the fried bread pieces to sprinkle in my soup. I tried the cake, pistachio dessert, and that's the only thing I didn't care for too much. It was just very cakey and not my typical type of dessert. I would love to see them partner with Al Taj, and get some of the Dubai chocolate bars in for sale that would be awesome.
