The service was outstanding. Definitely worth a drive from Mount Sterling (about an hour). The chicken delight was a unique dish that I had not tried before and I highly recommend it. We also got a small sample of baklava and it was the best baklava I've ever had. Can't wait to come back and try more things.

Mine came with fluffy, well-seasoned rice and a crisp Greek salad with just the right balance of freshness and acidity. My husband ordered a gyro with creamy hummus and a Greek salad, and it was equally satisfying--smooth, rich, and comforting without being heavy. Every bite tasted thoughtful and authentic. Honestly, the whole experience made me feel like I was back home in Los Angeles, where great Mediterranean food is everywhere. This place truly delivers that same comforting, nostalgic flavor that keeps you coming back

One must adjust expectations depending on the situation. I had the chicken souvlaki platter, which is essentially a kebab. It comes with a nice fresh Greek salad, rice, and tzatziki sauce. Not exactly juicy, not exactly dry, but not bad. My companion had the mousasaka, which is layered eggplant, potatoes, and meat sauce topped with Bechemel cream. Also comes with rice and the salad. We also had the fries, which are not the typical you see in Greek restaurants. Rather than the crispy crunchy fries with the golden outside, these almost seem air fried. But they were light and airy and we enjoyed them. This restaurant also serves gyro, falafel, spanakopita, hummus and pita, a Greek burger. The reason this place is called Greek-American is because they also serve cheeseburgers, fried chicken, fish, Reubens and BLTs, steaks, salmon, etc. I wish they would focus on just Greek food and make that better, but I understand that is probably tough in a place like Danville. They probably have to have other cuisine options to stay afloat. The service was very kind and attentive and the restaurant is super bright and clean. My friend said it was better than the last time she ate it. She also agrees that this is a, "good for what it is" selection.

The food tasted incredibly fresh and homemade -- flavorful shawarma, creamy hummus, warm pita, and authentic Mediterranean flavors that don't feel watered down or commercialized. The owner was genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can tell he cares about the food and the people coming in. It's a small, cozy spot, but the flavor is huge. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and everything tastes made with care. If you love authentic Mediterranean food, this place is absolutely worth trying. Lexington has some great local restaurants, and Zaki definitely deserves more attention.  I had the chicken shawarma and it didn't disappoint! The hummus was so fresh. My husband had the lamb shawarma.

The food was made to order and arrived in under 10 minutes. I opted for the #1 platter with beef and lamb skewers. The entrée was exactly what I expected: skewers served over a bed of rice. I was absolutely thrilled with the meal. First off, the meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful. I devoured it so quickly that I truly believe how good the food is--simply amazing. The lentil soup and hummus were equally delightful. The lentil soup was definitely one of the best I've ever tasted. Well, this was my lucky day discovering such a wonderful restaurant. The staff was friendly, and the service was both fast and courteous.

Unfortunately, the beef bowl I ordered had all this weird, clear stuff mixed deep within it. My guess is that it was coagulated oil from an olive jar? I'm not sure, it looked like someone had mixed a ton of Vaseline or ointment into the middle of my dish. I tasted it and I think it was flavorless fat, which is why I'm thinking it was coagulated oil. In hindsight, I should've shown it to an employee and asked for a new dish. Instead, I ate 1/4th of the beef that didn't have any of the stuff on it and threw the rest of the meal away. I don't like complaining to management. I'm willing to assume this was a weird one-time thing (my date's meal was fine) and try the place again though. I'll update my review if I have a better experience in the future. The interior was very clean. It has a standard fast casual type of look and setup.

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.
