Sahara is some of the best food I have had in a long time. Th ambience inside is so welcoming and the staff is very friendly. The food was amazing, the best shawarma. Can't say enough good things. I found my new go to shawarma spot. read more

Very very good sharwarmas. We had the chicken. Enjoyed this more than Sultans but you can't go wrong with either.

the food made me so ill, and I didn't even finish the whole plate as it was grossing me out as I ate it. I do not recommend this place unless u want heart burn 12 hours after eating read more

This is my go to falafel place! Since I don't eat meat anymore my usual go to meal is either a falafel wrap or the platter. I usually share the platter with my partner with an extra side of rice unless we are very hungry because the falafel is so filling. The staff here are super nice and they are always working so hard. To try some of their delicious food you might have to wait in a bit of a lineup as things can get busy around lunch/dinner. But you know a place is really good when people are lining up in the rain for it, which I have seen several times driving past! The falafel is perfectly done, always made fresh and very filling. If you are looking for an inexpensive dinner without sacrificing on taste definitely try them out! read more

Stop by here for a quick Chicken wrap for $6.50. The pita bread that they used was very small and they put a lot of toppings and chicken. They should find a better place to get bigger pita wraps to handle their wraps better. The food was okay but the wrap was too small to handle the food and the pita started cracking and sauce and toppings falling on my lap. Which got me thinking they should really get a bigger size pita wrap. 4 reals 4 reals!!!!!!! They only toast one side of the wrap as well. These kind of wraps should honestly be priced at $5.50 like if you were to buy these at an Adonis/Nations grocery store place. I've ate at better places and that are cleaner too. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. Please there are slow to and putting a wrap together. If you're in the hood definitely check it out. As well they don't do Chicken/beef on the rocks. They looked at me weird when I asked if they do that. They are way behind their food offers. They should check Lazeezs and search chicken on the rocks If they did that for $6-8 their business would be booming - because ppl don't want to spend $12-14 for a platter. as well they should do a regular and large size wraps that will help their business as well Stay classy Yelpers read more

Had a craving for shawarma and read about another place that had good ratings and when I got there, well..there was no meat on a spit to be seen?! So, I jumped back in my car and looked on my trusty yelp app and found ths place. O.M.G. am I glad I did. Walked in and hey, chicken on a spit! The prices could not be beat! I had the chicken plate with all the fixings for 10$ And the hubby had chicken over fries with all the sauces..10$ as well. The chicken plate was packed with chicken, white basmati rice, ultra fresh hummas, salad, and a pita on the side. 2 people could easily have this meal and be satisfied. I of course ate it all myself cause I am all woman! The makeshift poutine was just as delicious, fries were crispy and tons of meat topped with all the amazing sauces. This place is a little hidden gem. Off the beaten path of the very touristy Niagara Falls. Well priced, huge portions, and scrumptious! Go on, try it yourself. read more

I'm shocked with the enormously positive reviews for Sahara. These reviews led me to dine in for lunch, however unfortunately won't be returning at all. I've had a ton of shawarma from sandwiches to plates and this place has to be one of the worst I've ever been to. To start off, we walk in starving to find out that chicken would not be ready for another 45 minutes. No problem, we elected to go with beef shawarma plate. Here are the gripes: What's a salad without lettuce? This is the first place I've seen that doesn't serve lettuce with their shawarma meals. Chick peas, slices of tomatoes, but no lettuce? Pickles and pickled turnips swimming in hummus? Check! Not very appetizing and didn't taste well, but that was provided. Beef was dry, bland and just didn't taste well to me. Portion size a lot less than I'm used to from my go-to places. read more

See all

The workers are really rude and they closed 9 pm and the timing online was till 10pm.

Meat was very bad quality, at the limit of causing intoxication. would never go there. read more

We were looking for Scotiabank and stumbled upon this place. My friends had never had shawarma before and I wanted to introduce them. They were out of chicken because of the rush that apparently had just ended, so we all had to get beef. They had a special running with 2 plates and 2 wraps plus 4 drinks for @$22.99. That was the most logical choice for us, plus I added 2 more wraps. All of the items for the shawarma were fresh. You build it like you want it, so if you build it wrong, it's your fault if you don't like it. By "build it", I mean that you tell them what you want on your wraps. There samosas weren't good at all; partially because they weren't fresh. He brought them from the back as if he had just made them, but he had only reheated them back there. Shawarma = 4 out of 6. Samosas=2 out of 5. The guy running the place was relatively nice, but there was a communication barrier. His helper didn't speak much at all. He just smiled and nodded. I would go back for the shawarma. I haven't found good shawarma in Buffalo and Toronto is sometimes too far. I wouldn't have the samosas again unless I saw them come out of the grease. read more

- Chicken shawarma / dinner is very tasty. - Very large portion. - kids nuggets + fries with drinks is 3.99$ (but doesnt taste good) read more

Shwarama is hot right now! If you're looking for a great taste that will ignite your taste buds, this is definitely it. I have brought several Caribbean people here and they still talk about this place. I highly recommend that you give it a try. From one foodie to another, do yourself a favor. You're welcome! #GetYoSelfAMixedPlate read more

First timer. The food and service is 10/10... but that garlic sauce just killed the mood. It's too strong. Other than that loved it and will visit again! read more

Me and my friends used to hit up this place at least once a week for mediterranean/middle eastern cuisin. The owner is always polite and cook to order. This place is also fairly small for sit and dine but the food is absolutly delish here. These types of Mom and Pop establishments are the gold mine of food rather than big chain restaurants. read more

Visiting from Chicago. Small relatively inexpensive restaurant more suited for carryout. Found out they deliver as well. Pretty good beef and chicken shawerma. The fixings were plentiful and tasty. Choices included tabbouleh, mushroom salad, hummus & lentil rice. Make sure you get some of the sauce for the meats (tahini and some white garlic sauce...which you might want to heat up). Overall, would recommend this place over the other touristy area restaurant (Casablanca) where I could not find parking and heard they are overpriced because of their location. read more

Oh my god ...The best food ever very delicious ...people very nice friendly I really like the place ...I was visiting from new York City looking for halal food I was more than happy ..they have kids menu ...I recommend this place go to visit please ...:)) read more

Stop what you're doing and go get a wrap right now. We were in town visiting niagara falls and came here. This is by far, the BEST BEST BEST schwarma wrap I have ever eaten, and I guarantee I will never find one even remotely close to it. It puts all other wraps to shame. read more

Amazing falafel plate!! Portion size was big and food was quality, definitely will come again if we are in the area.

Go! Go right now! Steal a car. (don't seal cars), mug someone, (don't it's a crime and it's not very nice), I don't care if you have to shoot someone (don't shoot anyone. gun control is a very serious topic and change is in need), whatever you need to do, just get there and get one of the plates! Hands down the best value, most nutritional, made with love and great sauces (that sounded a bit dirty), that i loved licking my fingers after (phrasing...wow). I would seriously become a lawyer (though i don't really have the grades and it's a little late to start all that school) and I hate those guys (but i'd love their paycheque), if it would assure me that I could eat there every day (watch what you wish for). Best place for the price around. read more

Vacationing from the states. We like to check out local food. Tried this place due to its reviews on Yelp. Husband & I both loved it! Portions were very satisfying. We got a shawarma plate and wrap. Food was flavorful. I especially loved the pickled turnips!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! read more

Long wait in short line. Dirty restaurant. Staff with no gloves or hairnets or hats. Minimal menu. Sub average shawarma. Staff don't speak English very well. Minimal parking. Would never go again. read more

Do NOT eat here! Not only was the food not the best (I've had much better shawarmas and service), the owner is a SCAMMER! I was charged $15 for a single shawarma (no drink, nothing, just the sandwich). I thought that the place was just incredibly expensive, then days later, when I reach home, I checked the website. I found out that the regular price of a shawarma is around $5. The owner is very dishonest and will NEVER get a single penny from me again. I highly dis-recommend this place... find anywhere else to eat - at least the owner will be honest. read more

I visited this shawarma restaurant based on the strong recommendations of two of my former co-workers. I was told by them & by a couple of online reviews that this was "the best shawarma joint in town!" So I went. The atmosphere was OK. It's a small shop, nice & clean. They offer dine-in & take-out. Not sure if they deliver though. They accept debit cards & cash...possibly credit cards to, but I'm not sure. The first thing I noticed when walking into this restaurant was a Bollywood movie playing on their TV, affixed to the upper corner of a wall. It's rather nice that they offer their viewers some desi programming. Makes it feel as if you're eating a home cooked meal. I ordered the beef shawarma plate & a bottle of pop. The pricing was competitive, so no complaints there. The portion size was fair; not too little but not too much either. They also throw in some (cold) pita bread, humus, and a small salad. The cold pita bread was a real turn off for me. Pita bread (desi style) is meant to be eaten hot or at least very warm. The beef shawarma plate consists of rice on the bottom layer of the plate, topped with sparing shards of beef and then they add some sauces based on your liking (hot sauce, chipotle, that kinda thing). It tasted OK (I found the spicy sauce not-so spicy) but nowhere near as good as my former co-workers told me it would be. Overall I would eat there again but only if I'm in the immediate area and feeling very hungry. I definitely would not go out of my way, nor would I recommend it to anybody. I'm not saying it's no good. I'm saying it's just another shawarma joint, and if you consider it "the best shawarma joint in town", that's gotta be one heck of a small crappy town! read more

I only had the Chicken Plate, but I would call it the perfect plate of food. I stuffed some of it into a pita to get started and it was delicious, and then I just ate the rest of it like a full entree. They cook it right there and add the fresh ingredients. You know it's good when you want to go back tomorrow! read more

Went to Sahara for the first time today. Ordered a chicken plate and a beef plate. The portions were quite large and it was reasonably priced. The chicken was a little dry but overall I enjoyed it and will be returning in the future. The people helping were really nice too. Got the food to go because the place was too hot to sit and eat in. read more
