    Beef Shawarma Bowl
    Michelle G.

    This spot was absolutely delightful! The food was superb... tasty, fresh, all well done with great ingredients. From what I overhead it is all brought from Nazareth.

    Delicious, extremely fresh, and very friendly owners! Sahara Grill is located right next to FIU, and new to this area so we decided to check it out! The owners explained the menu and all they had to offer, we ended up ordering the Beef shawarma with two baklavas on the side. Good amount of food for the price which was $15 a plate and well balanced with hummus, veggies, salad, rice, and meat. The modern and chic Middle Eastern decor felt refreshing. Highly recommend and we will most definitely be back to try some more! ^.^

    Falafel Bowl
    Sarah S.

    I was craving falafel while in Miami visiting family and we found this spot close to where we were staying. What a lucky find! We were traveling with our dog so I ordered online and we sat at one of the two outside tables to eat our delicious food. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be amazing because the smell alone was incredible. I got the bowl and the falafel was so flavorful, delightfully crispy on the outside and perfectly moist inside as it should be! We also got a side of fries and they were well-seasoned and excellent. The cherry on top was the staff! I was warmly greeted when I entered and everyone working there was friendly and professional. While we were sitting outside, one person came out and brought us a sample of house-made baba ghanoush, which was packed with flavor and so fresh. I can't wait to visit again next time I'm in Miami!

    Food, service, and ambiance was great. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our food was exactly what we wanted and they exceeded my expectations on every level. The portions and quality of the food was amazing. Try the Knafeh. You'll thank me.

    Finally checked out Sahara Grill and it did not disappoint. I've been eyeing this spot since the sign first went up, and I'm so glad it's finally open! Tried the falafel sandwich with tahini sauce and it was incredible--warm, fluffy pita with the perfect crunch, fully loaded with fresh toppings. The staff was super welcoming, and the gentleman at the counter took the time to explain the difference between the sandwich and the bowl, which helped me decide. The space is simple but clean, with a cozy little lounge area that adds a nice touch. My order took a bit longer than expected, but only because the family ahead had a big one--and I actually appreciate that everything is made fresh to order. Already planning my next visit!

    I was looking for a place open late that wasn't a drive thru, and stumbled upon Sahara Grill, we came in at around 11:30pm and were greeted with kindness from the moment we walked in. The cashier walked us through the menu and was super friendly as well, I also loved that they had a bunch of different sauces to try in a little mini fridge by the soda machine. My chicken shawarma bowl was delicious, I'd come back anytime time

    Falafel Sandwich with Fries
    Sasha S.

    I was in Miami visiting family with my wife and our dog and found Sahara Grill conveniently near my parents' house. I got a falafel sandwich, my wife got a falafel bowl, and we got some fries to share. Everything was absolutely amazing!! The falafel was some of the best I've ever had. The pita was soft and fresh and all the extra veggies and sauces were so complementary to the meal. And whatever seasoning they put on those fries is incredible. I didn't go inside since we had our dog, but the staff came outside to check on us while we ate which was really nice. I appreciated the care they took into not only the food but also the service. My one very minor critique is that we asked for no pickles on my sandwich, but it came with pickles anyway. No big deal, I just took them out! But I hope Sahara Grill finds much success and we'll definitely be back when we're in Miami again.

    I'm not sure what was better here: the goo or the service! What a pleasant surprise! We came across this place while planning to have lunch somewhere else in the shopping center and we are so glad we came in. Everything is fresh. Quality is great and service is exceptional! Everything we tried was DELICIOUS! Highly recommended.

    The food is some of the best in Miami! The staff has super helpful and nice! The service is a bit slow but the food is fresh and so worth it. The restaurant is small but has a good amount of tables. You get an FIU discount if you show your ID as well!

    New Palestinian-owned restaurant in Miami, Sahara. Owners are from Nazareth in 1948 Palestine. Classic menu of bowls and sandwiches including beef and chicken Shawarma bowls, filet .ignong kebab skewers, falafel, kibbeh, falafel sandwich, beef Shawarma, sahara cheesy chicken sandwich, and Panther crispy chicken baguette named after the Florida Panthers. Located near FIU. The owner and everyone there are very friendly. The food is fresh and cooked right in front of you on the grill I ordered the sahara cheesy chicken sandwich which is something I haven't seen at Arab restaurants. It was delicious. The fries are delicious with tahini parsley and garlic sauce. Ill be back to try more of their delicious food.

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Yanna H.

    Stumbled upon this location one late night working in Miami and they did not disappoint. Everyone was super welcoming and they even encourage you to stay and enjoy the space they've created if you have the time. They are family owned and operated and you can absolutely tell by how smoothly they operate and the love and care put into the food . Everything is delicious well seasoned and flavorful. I love experiencing cultural dishes and they absolutely used a little bit of home in these meals . The bowls were packed and every bite had me wanting more. The falafel was so crispy and the best part was watching everything be made and put together as we waited. It's all made fresh, so be patient when you order. They will check on you while you wait and trust me, it's worth it !

    The staff is very friendly. Food is delicious. Beef Shawarma Sandwich was amazing. 1st time eating at Sahara and definitely coming back.

    Mixed Shawarma beef and chicken

    I had the shawarma pita with chicken and beef. It was off the chain and good sized portion. The guys working there are awesome and very helpful with decision-making. I'll definitely be back.

    Kibbeh and the Beef Shawarma (I think that was the name) the owners daughter called it the sushi.

I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.
