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.

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.

Drive down the street just past Taco Bell and then turn right. Parking spaces are both adjacent to the building as well as across a traffic lane. There is a handicapped space right in front of door.

We placed our order and found a table. We received our food in about 10 minutes. The falafel was crispy outside and warm and flavorful inside. The chicken shawarma was nothing short of exceptional. The flavors were intense and the accompanying salad was fresh and light. The very garlicky hummus was amazingly good. The kofta kebab was another excellent choice. The tzatziki sauce is freshly made and very flavorful. Even the rice was light, fluffy, and flavorful. Yaffa Grill is a true gem to find and certainly deserves a visit.

I got the large fattoush salad with extra lamb, and it was the best Mediterranean and best lamb I've ever tried!! Generous servings and tender meat, cooked to perfection with great spices! I'll be back again, and I'm already dreaming about what I'll order next!

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!!!
