Traditional Combination Platter
Brian W.

Not often that I write a review so far south of a 4 or 5 star. This meal wasn't worth my time to write it. Perhaps my taste and roof expectations are so different from those that love this establishment The menu certainly sounds very tasty and offers lots of options, including combination options for those who are not sure what some of these are or taste like. However we were very underwhelmed by the dish presentations We started off with the meat pie and spanakopita, however, to our surprise, it was very little filling and more dough than anything... and frankly, I don't want to eat bread for my meal. We decided to share a traditional combo platter instead of putting it on rice, had the onion, tomato pepper vegetable mix, which had new tomatoes, and frankly was very again underwhelming on flavor and on looks . With all the Mediterranean places that we do go to this was quite unfortunately lackluster .

These tasty treated are included if you order the dinner version of their platters. All delicious

Definitely a solid four. Food was well seasoned and cooked well. Portion was a bit small for the price. Hummus, taboulli, definitely very good. So on balance a solid meal for middle eastern food and a quick in and out for a mid week dinner with a business colleague.

So delicious! I loved the food at Ayat, and the service was great…read more We started with the Mezze Filistini, a mixed platter of hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammarah, tabbouleh, salata tahina, and labneh. Everything was amazing, but the muhammarah was definitely my favorite. We also ordered the grilled halloumi and watermelon salad, which everyone at the table loved. Lastly, we shared one of the platters, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes are very generous. Even with a big group, we had plenty of leftovers--which I was very excited about since I enjoyed everything so much. I would definitely come back!

Pretty inconsistent and in need of quality control. I went as a group of 3 and some of the food was…read moregreat like the stuffed grape leaves (wara dawali), their baba ghanoush, and even their bread and bread products. Their kibbeh was alright, wish it had more seasoning. For the mains the snapper was great, and their lahma bi ajeen had plenty of meat (although again could use more seasoning), but their mansaf was subpar unfortunately. It was pretty flavorless, absolutely nothing like the location in brooklyn. I took friends to the brookyln location and we had to order another mansaf because of how good it was. In princeton it definitely tastes like theyre skimping out on the jmeed because the yogurt sauce was super watery. There were also very small peices of bone everywhere. Why are the bones so beat up???? Service and timing for the mains to come out was also really slow.

Even with the current pandemic, I am still glad to see that a small business like this one is still…read moreopen! (Please keep supporting these businesses btw!) Food: I got the gyro platter, and even though it was the small size, it was still filling and satisfying. The meat and rice were freshly prepared, and the veggies gave the meal unique flavors and tastes. Service/Environment: There were only two people working the restaurant, but they were both super friendly and welcoming, despite the current situation. They explained the menu well and were able to quickly prepare my meal without compromising on the quality. Price: The platter was around $9-10 for the small, and an extra dollar or two for the large one, which I think is a fair price point. Overall: Tasty food with quick and friendly service at a solid price point, which makes this place worth your while!

We chose the spot since it happen the be the "midpoint" between where my friend and I live. The service was friendly. The menu is has limited options; think Chipotle style create your own bowl, pita or platter. I ordered a chicken gyro wrap and my friend went with the falafel bowl. The chicken was very good, however, I wish they had warmed up the pita. A cold pita made the sandwich slightly less appealing. I also tasted my friend's falafel bowl. Overall, the falafel was good. The prices seemed high for what you get. We sat at the small outside seating area, since its in a corporate park, people were coming and going a bit. Midpoint is a decent place to stop by if in the area.

It just a table for 2 but we wanted a little more space so they immediately gave us the table for 4 so we can we comfortable. They brought out their fresh bread and couple dips. I loved the red dip and should have asked what it was. They actually brought us a few rounds of bread. Then we got be chicken bbq pieces and the kebab. Huge portion but i have to say the pieces were soo juicy. I will order that next time. Overall, i will be visiting more often since dining in is such a nice vibe. Also visited the market next door. They got nice fresh cakes that i will be back for.

I've been here a handful of times and they're always delicious…read more Small restaurant with a small parking lot right on route 1 next to a Dunkin. The restaurant owns a Turkish supermarket next door. All of the food is delicious. Warm bread and sauces are included (the red sauce is DELICIOUS but super spicy, the white sauce is minty and tart). Get the Mucver!!!! I haven't tried other appetizers but the Mucver stole the show. It's a zucchini vegetable fried pancake. If a latke was made of zucchini. Super flavorful. Not greasy at all. The chicken Adana is my favorite. It's a ground chicken well seasoned with herbs and grilled. My husband had the mixed grill of gyro (beef), lamb, and grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was delicious. Both are served with a salad and rice. Very good service.

Whether you're craving a quick lunch or a full Mediterranean feast, Sahara is a must-visit. Highly recommend the chicken adana kabobs and the baklava for dessert!

Walked in to a nice coffe bar area which did not seem functional .it well decorated with some antique accents keys if different shapes n sizes We were seated and a waiter took our order immediately. The place was a bit busy for a weekday. Complementary wam pita bread n ezme , sun dried tomatoes n spicy jalapeños were not bad . A paper form being warm there was nothing more to it. Got the mixed grill for two which was served with a side of soup and salad . Both sides were delicious. The grilled chicken kebabs and chops were passable though not juicy . All Lamb kebab choices were tough and chewy . This is a mediocre spot as I age v had better Kebabs in the same area . Not my kind of food.
