    Gyro Plate
    Ashley P.

    Wow. Amazing service, so clean, huge portions, warm atmosphere. Cute date night spot as well. I grabbed some food to go after getting my nails done. While waiting, I was given a large piece of warm baklava on the house. For my gyro plate, I had already eaten and still had so much food left

    While walking in broad ripple I saw this place and thought it would be a great place to stop for a Gyros. I was disappointed . I ordered the Gyros and fries. The portion size was good. The fries were hot and crisp. The gyros was the disappointment. Although the tzatziki sauce was good the gyros meat was not. I don't know if it was the seasoning or the meat was old but whatever it was ruined the meal.

    Stopped in here on a whim and had a delicious meal! Got the Sahara mixed grill that came with lamb, beef and chicken skewers over a bed of rice. The portion sizes are huge! I had two meals out of this. We didn't have to wait too long for our order and while it's a smaller place, the decor is very pretty. My food was great and I think of all the meats on the plate, the chicken was my favorite. I really enjoyed the seasoning on it. Would definitely stop in again when I'm in the area.

    I really love Sahara Restaurant. The food is always so good, full of flavor, and tastes truly authentic. Every time I come, it's done perfectly, and I honestly can't resist it, which is why I've become a regular. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming and genuinely makes you feel like family. The place feels warm, welcoming, and comfortable the moment you walk in. The food and hospitality together are what keep me coming back.

    My husband and I came here for the first time since having our child and it once again did not disappoint. The hot tea comes with sugar and rose water to add if you want to. The rose water enhances the flavor of the black tea and warms the whole body. Which is great because it is incredibly cold today. The restaurant was quiet and serene offering a very peaceful dining experience. I had the Mansaf again as it is my favorite menu item. The lamb was incredibly tender and fell off the bone. Every bite felt like it was melting in my mouth. The rice and yogurt sauce added the perfect slightly sour and grainy combination with the savory meat. Once again it knocked it out of the park with the food, ambiance, and wonderful service from the owner.

    Gyros Sandwich

    Today was my third time stopping in and I finally got pictures so it's time for a review. I've stopped in for my lunch break and every time I come in the service is quick, the food is delicious and it's always comfortable. Today I had the gyro combo which came out to $14 and some change. The young man who took my order was very kind and hospitable, which I appreciated so much. The gyro was well very filling, had the perfect amount of sauce , and the fries were well seasoned and clearly made to order. I've previously had the beef shawarma and the falafel, I enjoyed both of those as well. I think if you're not a vegetarian, the gyro is the best out of all 3. Overall I highly recommend this place and I'll be back to check the platters out next.

    Sahara Restaurant really impressed us. My partner and I shared the Sahara Mixed Grill, and everything on the plate was perfectly cooked -- the shish kabob was tender, the kafta had great flavor, and the chicken kabob and shish tawook were both juicy and seasoned just right. Our server, who was also the chef, took our order and let us know upfront that the dish would take about 20-25 minutes to prepare. I genuinely appreciated the honesty, and the wait was absolutely worth it. Great food, excellent service, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back.

    We wanted Mediterranean food and were in the area so we decided to stop by. The space is comfortable and well decorated located right on the Broadripple strip. A great location but iffy for parking. We started with the vegetarian combo plate. Everything was on point for flavor and preparation. I went with the chicken plate and my friend went with the mansef. Both were wonderful and plentiful. The service was welcoming and friendly and the food was wonderful. This was well worth the trip and the search for parking.

    Been coming back and this time, got their Lamb chops. Mmmmm.... it's so tasty, the meat is tender, really well flavored. Owner gave us free desert and hot tea!!! Have been a repeat customer since.

    It was a long week of work, and my fiancee and I had been wanting to get a falafel for a while. We are newcomers to Broad Ripple and have walked by Sahara often but hadn't tried it, yet. I wish we had tried it sooner. It was a cold Sunday night, and we decided to go in person and order food to go. The interior was warm and very inviting. It's a family-owned and operated place. They were so kind and brought out baklava for us while we waited for our food. I ordered a Turkish coffee as well, and wow it was incredible. Ultimately, we ordered spanakopita, grape leaves, and two falafel sandwiches. They made the falafel fresh, and our food had so much flavor. These businesses are the lifeblood of Broad Ripple. They refused to take money for the baklava and Turkish coffee. Citizens of Indy and those passing through our town, please stop by this place. Mohammed will treat you well, and your hunger will be quenched. Just one more shoutout for the Turkish coffee. It may come in a small cup, but it packs a punch.

    Are they open for indoor dining?

    Yes, they were when I went a few weeks ago.

    Did they close? Last time I went by they were closed. Thursday night on Dec 7th. No one answering phone. Great food. Would be ashame if they closed.

    I got hummus from them today, so nope! Still open!

While picking up an order recently, I had the most amazing conversation with one of the associates. You know how sometimes a quick interaction can completely shift your day? This was one of those moments. She was wearing a shirt with an open heart design that revealed the most beautifully spirited tattoo -- and as someone who loves hearts, it immediately made me smile. It felt like such a small but meaningful connection. As we finalized the order exchange, she generously handed me one of their healthy juices! Completely unexpected and absolutely what I needed in that moment. It brought genuine joy to my day. Their food is always beautifully prepared and thoughtfully packaged, but what truly sets The Garden Table apart is the authentic kindness of their team. The associates don't just serve food .... they serve warmth, presence, and heart. Highly recommend -- whether you're dining in or just picking up.

    Never again will I eat at Garden Table. I used to love this restaurant. The food was once flavorful…read moreand fresh. However the last three visits I have had three different dishes (including ones I had order previously) and all three have tasted like cooking oil. Today I had the caprese toast. I decided to add salmon for added protein. Ya'll, when you see the word 'caprese', you think fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, right? Not cooked, right? Well every item except some mint was cooked. Mushy apples, mushy tomatoes.... coated in a fowl smelling oil. The mushy-ness of it all got to the bread underneath. Then the salmon on top.... it was salmon but it was very, very smoky and it was shredded to appear like.... hate to say it.... cat food. Cat food instantly popped in my mind when I saw my plate. The item I used to love the sweet potato hash but it now has the same problem as the caprese toast. No flavor except that of cooking oil. I also ordered a kids plate with scrambled eggs. Eggs arrived with obvious signs of being over cooked with brown burn marks. Fine for a fried rice at a Chinese restaurant, maybe. But really? This is a brunch place that is supposedly 'health minded'. Eggs shouldn't be dry. I'm sure they also tasted like cooking oil but I didn't try them. I agree with another reviewer that the descriptions of dishes could be better. A cooked caprese??? I wouldn't have ordered it. Two stars are only beause the service here is decent.

Their breadsticks are amazing as well but I am a chicken wing connoisseur and they've never let me down haha. The wings were well seasoned and the fries were a perfect crisp. I had sides of ranch and honey mustard. To drink, I tried a new (for me) flavor of their long islands - the Grateful Dead (main flavor being raspberry). It was ok, but I'm on a mission to try newer flavors and I don't think I would get this one again. My usual go-to is the Electric Lemonade! Customer Service: Corynn is an awesome waitress! She was attentive and responsive and sold me on the fudge brownie for dessert! My food came out fairly quicky, and it was a light crowd. Nothing negative to say here!

I had a at least 1/4 cup of liquid in the bottom of the shell. The burger was strange. I could not eat it No lettuce was on I the salad. It was more like a garnish When I showed it to the waiter he shrugged his shoulders. I asked if it was always that way, he shrugged his shoulders. I then told him to take it away He then asked if I wanted something else and I ordered chicken tacos saying I would make my own salad. Although not great much better. My husband asked for more lettuce to make his salad better. (It had water also). He was charged $1.25 for the lettuce then asked if I was going to eat the cheese and lettuce on my taco. After adding all this an extra chips he could eat his salad After bringing the check, the waiter once again asked if we were satisfied. We explained yes for the time being but explained again how bad the salads were he just smiled The restaurant was clean, tables cleared promptly and uniquely decorated.
