I no longer live in Tallahassee, but when I go home to visit family and friends I always hit up Sahara. In fact I have a standing lunch date with my mom, and then will usually go back later on in the trip for a dinner date with my best friend. The atmosphere is open and friendly, and the food... More

We stumbled across this place one weekend by chance and LOVE it. We've been back several times and we live 2.5 hours away. Everything on the menu is delicious; the moussaka is my personal fave. Rich, comforting, savory, and oh so yummy! Can't wait to go back!

Worth passing up all the franchise fast-food joints if want authentic good-tasting (and healthy) food! Off the main arteries and appears to be a favorite of locals. Service was cheerful and fast. Food was plentiful and EXCELLENT! I has the Chicken Shawarma, wife had Lamb Shish Kabob. Both dishes were superb!!

Sahara is one of my favorite places in Tallahassee. The OG wrap is my favorite. The hummus, lentil soup, and greek salad are all fresh and delicious.

The falafel is so very tasty, crisp and cooked to order and salad is also fresh. Sometimes I order a few appetizers as my meal because they are all so delicious and also made to order.

We look forward when ever we visit Tally to eating here. There are a few things that we end up craving. The Hummus is great and the Gyros are worth driving a lil bit for. The service is always friendly and helpful. And the Turk coffee at the end of a meal will get you fired up for the evening!

This used to be one of my favorite spots. Good quality food at a fair price. They offer something other than the standard Tallahassee fare of burgers and salads and pizza and tacos and wraps and sandwiches. Nice variety on the menu. It used to be, finish your meal, you didn't have to wait for the check or change, just... More

Found this restaurant through trip advisor and was very pleased. Three of us went to dinner and ordered apps plus food. Flalafel apps were excellent, hummus good, dolmas ok for me. Chicken swarma plate with rice and salad... Awesome. Should have had the combo chicken swarma with gyro lamb because the lamb was awesome. Will return.

I had the chicken shawarma platter delivered to my hotel. The chicken was spicy and delicious. It came with two sides, and I had the greek salad and hummus. It was very good, so much better than a fast food meal or vending machine fare. I agree with another reviewer who said the pita was a little disappointing, it was... More
