    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The food was good, it was a bit pricey for the portion and quality. This is the reason it was so empty when I visited the place.

    I recently came to McAlisters because of a nice Tmobile deal…read more We ordered through the app. Food was expected to be done by 5:50 PM. Upon arrival, it was not busy, there was one person waiting on their food, we saw that our orders on the screen, and there was only 3 orders total at the moment. However, we probably waited another 20 mins after. While we waited more people showed up, but our food was not getting done any quicker. People who ordered in person got their order first, and they came in at least 5-10 mins after we arrived. I have worked in the food industry, so I do understand that it gets busy, however when we came in time, it was announced that we were there to pick up the food. Only one employee apologized for how long it was taking. I would have thought that our food was going to be done first. The drinks were alright, we got the lemonade, and half sweet and unsweet tea. We ordered the King Club, Chicken salad Sandwich, Spicy Turkey Melt and the Max Spud. Mind you, these items were all half, so imagine waiting more than 30 mins total from the time we ordered to the time we got the food. The King club was good, the honey mustard added a nice sweetness. The Spicy Turkey melt was mid, I think it could do without the avocado. The Chicken Salad sandwich was good too, I love the little sweetness the cranberries added. The Max spud was also mid. I don't think I'm a baked potato kind of person. The vibes were like as if Panera and TooJays had a baby. Would come back for the food but service could improve.

    A great place for lunch or dinner. The baked potatoes are fantastic. Lots of options. Great…read moreflavor. The location is clean and seats a good amount of people. The service is good. Only issue I've had in the past is the amount of toppings on sandwiches. I switched to the baked potatoes and enjoyed every time. Great options and good food. I had the baked potatoe with game and cheese with green onion and butter. Delicious.
