Sahara Restaurant

The food is fabulous, the prices extremely reasonable. Drive or ride out to our Brooklyn hinterlands and you'll understand value. Share everything. Take home a doggie bag. And your kids will love the fish tanks. In summer, sit in the garden. You'll love it. Pros: the food!, the food!, price Cons: none more

Sahara serves up some the best Mideastern food around. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering how large portions can be. I can't wait for the summer, so I can try out the outdoor seating on the patio! I just wish this place were closer to me so I could go here more often. Pros: great food, reasonably priced, large seating area Cons: far out in Bklyn more

Sahara is a wonderful place! The food is fresh, the waitstaff helpful. It can get very crowded on weekend nights. The best time to go (in my opinion) is for lunch on a weekday. They have several dining areas to choose from, including a smoking room. Upstairs is not the place to be, however, as it is very drab (a throwback to the 70's) and food takes longer to get to you, since it comes from downstairs. Portions are large, and some notable selections are the potato salad, shepherds salad with feta (not the usual greek feta, rather, a creamy turkish one). All grilled items are great as well! Pros: Smoking room, Lots of seating, fresh food Cons: noisy on weekends more

Foos is great, served extremely hot and fresh. Appetizer is good, but slightly overpriced. We had three waiters, which made things very confusing, as service went from highly inattentive to overly attentive. We were there 11pm at night on a Saturday, and there was a lot of room in the back room, yet the Maitre D sat an obnoxious family with two very loud and misbehaving pre-teen children right behind our table, destroying the romantic potential. Children run screaming up and down the aisle from other parts of the restaurant, which was a huge turnoff, particularly when we went out so late to eat to escape the abrasive restaurant "family" crowd and to have a romantic evening. We found $30 for two people that included an appetizer, 2 sodas, and 2 entrees to be extremely reasonable, although they completely sold out of chicken and we had to reorder our meal. Pros: great food, friendly waitstaff Cons: abrasive atmosphere, sold out of entrees, service satisfactory more
