    Rear dining area. Nice and quiet. Very clean restaurant.
    Chris F.

    Another great lunch. I look forward to coming here. Every time the restaurant is clean and the staff is welcoming. I like the paintings on the walls. This time I tried the lamb kebabs, and I am glad I did. The kebabs were grilled perfectly and tasted great. The hummus wa creamy and the lime pepper flavor was amazing. The pita's were grilled and still nice and soft. I loved the tabbouleh, it was fresh and bright. I can't wait to come back next time I am in town.

    A very good hummus and pita!

    The good: This place is 45+ minutes from my house! The bad: This place is 45+ minutes from my house! It was a Sunday (Gyro's apparently don't exist on Sundays) and this is exactly what we were in the mood for. Since we were headed to Powell Gardens, we decided to grab a little lunch first, and Greek came to mind. So we stopped by two places just to find them closed. Then we got smart and did a search along our route. This is one of the few that was open. Well, let me tell you when we pulled up and this was in a little strip mall behind a gas station... I did not have high hopes. But, that was me judging a book by its cover! This place is fantastic! The first thing I noticed was how clean and well-organised the place was. Top marks right there! It was decorated nicely. Not over crowded and a great feel (vibe if you are under 40). The next thing to rave about is how quick and efficient the staff was. This is not a huge place, yet they still do the numbers that you take to your table and deliver your food. That is a little extra that is well appreciated in my book. And I love it when a place does the little extras. And then the part you have been wondering about... the food. Well, the hummus was good. And then the Gyros showed. It is hands down the BEST I have ever had in the KC area. THE BEST. No question in my mind! So... I'll be taking those long drives just to get to this place and have some more wonderful food! Maybe I'll see you there!

    Burnt Lamb Combo Platter

    I've had ok food here nothing compared to humans and pita in OP. Lamb was dry burnt and fatty, falafel dry even drowned in tazeki. Never coming again after this time. I live in lees summit, but just drive to OP so I can have edible Mediterranean.

    Pistachio baklava
    Cat B.

    Absolutely LOVED the chicken Shawarma Combo and the Greek salad as the side. So much so next time I just got a big salad with chicken and it was DELICIOUS! The Variety Baklava was a great little treat after too. Definitely need to add extra green sauce, I love it on everything! I didn't love the Hummus alone but I'm impartial to spicy and flavored versions so adding the green sauce made it amazing to me.

    Listen... when I tell you that the hummus was so fresh and smooth like butter, the falafel was so delicious and light, and the pistachio baklava flaky and melt-in-your-mouth delicious with the perfect hint of rosewater... I need you to understand that I mean what I say! Not only was the food hot and fresh but the service was kind and welcoming and there was ample space for us to find a spot to eat. I don't live in the area but the next time I come there I will for sure be back. FYI - the french fries were perfectly made, and they had an unexpected spice on them. They also has unsweetened iced tea

    Beef Gyro Platter
    Felita M.

    Delicious! Food was plentiful and tasty. We both ordered the beef gyro platter. Hubby also got a side salad (ice berg lettuce). Restaurant is clean with lots of seating. Not hardly anyone there which can be alarming. They're just missing out in a good thing. Will definitely be back.

    I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food. We have a favorite place back home in Las Vegas that we always go to. I looked up this place and Lee's Summit and here we are. Mmmmm!!! : ) That's all I got to say!! I ordered the lamb and chicken kabob. And it hit the spot. Come on by and get this a try!!

    Falafel Combo with baba ghanoush substituted for tabouli (also including 1 pita).
    Gena K.

    Raving reviews led me here in my search for Greek food in the Lee's Summit/Independence area. Located only 5 min. from Lee's Summit Medical Center, it is ideal for plant-based & healthy meals! I was trying to decide between the Vegetable Combo (appetizer) & Falafel Combo. Upon my arrival, I discovered the Falafel Combo was discounted at lunch and customizable! So, I ordered that substituting in baba ghanoush. I was ordering it to go, and the lady who helped me explained how I could get what I wanted in the Falafel Combo & she had it ready to go quickly. Ordering on-line would include a $3 convenience fee, or you can come in and put that towards a tip or more food...maybe baklava (wink, wink). The portion size was good (leaving some left overs for me). I enjoyed it & it's exactly what I was looking for. The rice was nice & soft. The hummus & falafel were my favorite of the combo. The only thing I would change is having warm pita bread and including 2 instead of 1 with what I ordered. However, it appears you can simply order one more pita for $1. And, I may be able to request warmed pita next time. So, these are likely easy adjustments. The ambiance is comfy & casual, with seat yourself booths and table seating. Next time, I will have to try the pistachio baklava that is such a fan favorite! Obviously, giving a 5 star review, I recommend Sahara Mediterranean (for takeout or dining in). Try an old favorite & try something new...You won't regret it!

    Searching for good food while here on business, this place kept coming up. Sure glad I stopped in…read more If I lived here I would come often. The beef kabobs were excellent, salad was dressed well. The lemon mint smoothie was so refreshing!! Of course I had to try the baklava cheesecake.... So fluffy and beautiful. Very nice staff, excellent service and food was extremely fresh. Yum!!!

    Update: Stopped by after my mom's physical therapy--she'd been craving chicken gyro meat, and…read morepost-COVID this is basically the only spot in the greater OP area that still does it. Kudos! Chicken Gyro (no tzatziki) - Large, well-grilled pita with tomatoes. Simple and solid--this is why we came. It delivered for her--she was in a full-on food coma after. (4/5) Beef/Lamb Gyro - Enormous--one of the biggest I've had. Nice grilled crust on the pita, tasty meat. (4/5) Wish it came with diced onions, and the tomatoes were diced instead of sliced. Tzatziki is a bit thinner and slightly off from what I'm used to. But on mine, there was some on the sandwich and a side--hadn't seen that before. It actually worked well, kept the meat moist--without making it mushy--and let me add more as needed. Added sambal for heat, which helped. Kebab Platter - Mixed bag. Steak kebab was solid (medium rare), minced kebab was decent (in between), chicken was just okay. Rice was very dry--I think I noticed some sumac on top, but either way it didn't help. The salad was excellent--fresh with a lot of pop. Not something I'd order again, but if I did, I'd eat the salad with the rice and kebabs instead of starting with it. It adds the moisture and pop the rest of the plate is missing. That said, each component should stand on its own. (3/5) Overall: 4/5 Gyros carry. Salad and steak kebab were nice, but the platter didn't land. I'd stick to gyros or just do a steak kebab plate next time.

I had the lamb kabobs with rice and veggies. I believe the overall dish could have used a bit more seasoning. Additional cucumber yogurt sauce would have been nice as well. I'd give the dish a 6/10.

    You know you ordered too much food when they give you 3 sets of utensils and you really only…read moreordered for yourself hahaha! Anyway, I wanted to try a few things and of course I had lots of leftovers. I ordered online for a scheduled pickup. I got there a bit too early, but just had a seat and waited only a couple of minutes, which is completely fine since I was early. I had a lamb gyro with fries, the shrimp appetizer, hummus, lentil soup and a baklava that was free due to my order total. I loved the food so much! The first order from a place always has a bit of a learning curve, so there's some things I'll maybe order differently or with slightly different instructions (like sauce on the side) but not that there was anything wrong, just my personal preferences. The hummus, pita and gyro were so delicious! The lentil soup was ordered for someone else so I only had a tiny taste and it was fine. My judgement of any lentil soup is going to not be very exciting as it's just not my "thing". The shrimp appetizer was delicious but I'm not sure I'd get it again due to the cost and the fact that it was just 5 or 6 shrimp. I'm sure the price is fair, but just for me personally, I doubt I'd get it again. Their online ordering doesn't offer some options that I'd like to see, such as if you choose soda as a beverage it doesn't tell you what options are available. Also, I like to be able to order extra sides of pita and sauce, things like that.
